Book excerpt: Back To Our Roots -- For Good Health The good news for African Americans is that the secrets of getting healthy and staying healthy are rooted in time-honored traditions of our own heritage. Staying Strong: Reclaiming the Wisdom of African-American Healing explains how natural healing techniques, handed down through generations, can be used as a complement to modern medicine to help African Americans live fuller, happier, healthier lives -- to "live wholly." Discover how you can overcome the frustrations of chronic fatigue, depression, illness, or just not feeling well, by applying the principles of Whole Living -- Whole Living is natural -- using herbs, touch, foods, and the power of the mind to achieve good health. Whole Living is spiritual, helping you find the natural African-American spirit that means living life to its fullest. Whole Living combines modern medicine with the healing traditions of the past to provide the rich benefits of both methods. Whole Living looks at the complete person -- not just isolated parts to revitalize you in body, mind, and spirit. Staying Strong also addresses the specific health concerns of African-Americans, providing reliable alternative healing approaches to more than thirty diseases and health problems, as well as safe and effective natural remedies and advice on prevention.

Book excerpt: The twenty-first century edition of this groundbreaking work presents authoritative health and nutrition information available in an easy-to-use format and a friendly, engaging tone. “An excellent guide for those wishing to make smarter dietary choices.”—Andrew Weil, M.D., author of Healthy Aging Decades of practical experience and scientific research from Dr. Elson Haas and Dr. Buck Levin are compiled into one encyclopedic volume that features newly expanded chapters on special supplements, lifestage programs, and breakthrough medical treatment protocols for fatigue, viruses, weight management, and mental and mood disorders such as anxiety, ADHD, and depression. Part One gives a detailed analysis of the building blocks of nutrition: water, carbohydrates, proteins, fats and oils, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. Part Two evaluates food and diets, discussing every food group and most diets around the world. A special chapter on the environment and nutrition raises awareness and offers guidance about food additives, industrial chemicals, food irradiation, electro-pollution, and other health and ecological issues. Part Three brings all of this nutritional information together, showing readers how to make wise and commonsense choices while building a healthy diet. A personalized eating plan for the year, the Ideal Diet is both seasonally and naturally based, and a healthy lifelong diet. Part Four contains specific nutritional and life-style therapies for enhancing all stages of life and suggests treatments for common conditions and diseases such as aging, menopause, bone loss, weight loss, and cancer by focusing on nutritional applications: thirty-two special diet and supplemental programs. Anyone interested in enhancing wellness, eating right, treating illness naturally, and living in harmony with nature will find Staying Healthy with Nutrition to be the ultimate handbook for optimal health and vitality.

Book excerpt: Today seven million African American women are living in their prime, experiencing the joys and challenges of middle age. Now, at last, here is the book that addresses ourtotalhealth needs—physical, emotional, and spiritual. Written by a distinguished physician and a clinical psychologist,Prime Timeis the first complete guide that empowers us to take charge of our lives and attain the well-being we deserve. In many ways, it’s true that we are better off today than our foremothers were: We earn more money, command more respect. Yet in spite of these advances, we still experience more chronic health problems, endure more stress, and live shorter lives than women of other races. That’s whyPrime Timeis both urgent and essential. This groundbreaking book not only lays out a detailed, practical plan for overall healing and for maintaining wellness, it also addresses the underlying attitudes and assumptions that lead so many of us to neglect ourselves and undermine our own health.Prime Timewill help you • Reframe priorities to put yourself and your own health needs first • Interpret the latest medical findings on the Big Four killers and how they affect black women in middle age • Profile your current health with worksheets, quizzes, and assessment tools • Renew sex at midlife by eliminating restricting myths and taboos and finding new paths to pleasure • Reduce anger and “attitude” that block you from attaining good health • Identify the nontraditional signs of depression and anxiety common to African American women Comprehensive, straight-talking, and grounded in science and spiritual truth,Prime Timeis at once a guide to total health in middle age and a celebration of the strength, wisdom, and beauty of African American women in their second half of life.
