So I told Sabrina I would make my next blog light and funny or at least try to be funny, SO I am going to try to take this topic and keep it light and still get my point across..
This morning my Devon was telling me that Nate Dog had passed, after two strokes, and some bad health. The most shocking part is that #1 this is someone that I knew of, not that I grew up listening to him, but we ALL loved “REGULATE” with the homey Warren G!
The point I am trying to get to is that look BLACK PEOPLE, WHITE PEOPLE WHO KNOW BLACK PEOPLE-check yourself…check your BMI (BODY MASS INDEX) Make sure it is within a healthy range and let me eliminate this myth- BLACK PEOPLE the BMI chart is geared for ALL people, let’s NOT use the excuse that BLACK PEOPLE are thicker or not supposed to be that thin…Those people toting that belief are the same ones in denial when they have diabetes or high blood pressure or all the other diseases that you CAN be predisposed to..
It does NOT have to be that way..some things are hereditary BUT some of those SAME things can be prevented, corrected, and eliminated with LIFESTYLE CHANGES and healthy eating
It is ok to indulge in stuff every ONCE in awhile..not once a week for some stuff..leave the fried food alone..you should not be eating yard bird more than once a month –REALLY!
Don’t keep hiding behind the lies and propaganda…make a choice..choose to live-choose to live healthy and medicine free…if something is not working..adjust your diet again, see a nutritionist..exercise more..Dying at the age of 41 is not okay in 2011..it is not…stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes are ALL preventable..and not a prerequisite of being in the black community
Chart your intake of food and sodium..put DOWN the salt shaker..learn to enjoy your food without SO much sodium…yes you want to flavor your food but use other spices that won’t kill you
BLACK WOMEN…get over the hair issue..if your hair is preventing you from working out..then just know you will be like Tyler Perry says..”casket ready” when you go…You may be cute when your triglycerides are through the roof..THEN WHAT!!!
Don’t wait til tomorrow..START today…at a minimum your heart needs 30 minutes of cardio each day..for weight loss you need to be pumping out 45 + of heart beating cardio..walking, running, swimming, etc…
Take your pick..find your nitch…get with it
It’s fine to want to look a certain way but if you aren’t healthy –CHECK YOUR SELF
Ladies you want curves..BUT be healthy about it
Guys may want a lady with meat but they don’t want a woman who can’t walk up a flight up stairs or who empties the buffet
And a real man, the one you really want to be with is going to be concerned about your health as you should be
