Aging is not a sentence of frailty, dis-connectedness or isolation. At least, not if you’re lucky enough to live in New York City under the watch of Ruth Finkelstein and The Academy of Medicine. Finkelstein, Vice-President of Health Policy, works aggressively to lengthen traffic lights for crossing on major avenues, designated paths for bike riders, benches outside businesses, hygiene facilities — all to make it easier for aging citizens to live INDEPENDENTLY. With luck, you are going to age — think: last year’s baby boomers are this year’s aging. Listen to Finkelstein on Getting Your Money’s Worth with Judith West. Join her in her fight for you.

A fascinating blend of cutting-edge medical information, practical health advice, and spiritual wisdom, The Baby Boomer Diet is relevant for people of any age. Written by Donna Gates-theoriginator of Body Ecology,a world-renowned system of healing-this long-awaited book suggests that we don’t simply have to age gracefully, we can age with panache.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and The Centers For Disease Control, the prevalence of obesity is higher among black american women at every age compared with every other gender or racial/ethnic group. It’s not big bones ladies…big bones don’t make you sick. Our rates of diabetes, breast and cervical cancer, obesity, heart disease (and for black men, prostate cancer), is much higher than whites and it is MAINLY BECAUSE OF LIFESTYLE. Essence and Ebony magazine addresses this issue several times a year in the attempt to WAKE UP BLACK AMERICA and get us to change our lifestyle behaviors. Our diet STILL consists of what I call the “Slave Diet” … we’re still voluntarily eating the food that was originally forced upon us to degrade. Pig parts (pigs feet, pigs intestines aka “chitterlings”, pigs…..and oh my God it just goes on and on. Blacks don’t tolerate pork the way whites do. It affects them too but it hurts us worse and faster. Add to this the SAD (diet), the STANDARD AMERICAN DIET (processed food loaded with chemicals that are also making us SICK. Generation after generation we do this to our children and they pass this self-hatred and self abuse on to the next generation. Africans from the various countries in Africa (don’t believe the media, they’re not all starving) are so much healthier than Black Americans because their diet consists largely of a plant based diet and small portions of “clean” meat” (not pumped full of chemicals like in the USA) . As a Black American female I have decided to be a part of the solution and I created SoulFitness Divas to inspire other black American women with my testimony (and anyone else who’s sick and tired of being sick and tired) to take charge of their health and to embrace a wellness lifestyle. It is my hope that many will listen.

Welcome to SoulFitnessDivas! My name is Deborah Williams and this is season number one of my battle of transforming my myself back to my normal weight and findng significant relief from crippling arthritis through raw vegetable juicing and other holistic means after personal hardship. I created this o to inspire others who battle with weight and to encourage them to never give up on self care and and to press onward in spite of their health challenges. As I always say, honor your temple and never give up!
Finally…A get fit program for the unfit. If you are sick of program’s that seem to be made for “fit people”…then this is for you. Our aim is to bring you the very best health and fitness information for the 40 plus age group, and be able to offer you manageable and easy to implement solutions, so you can get the most out of life. After many years of running our own training facilities, we have come to the conclusion that we can reach out to more people by providing them “home based” solutions. We noticed there is an ever increasing rate of people who have no desire to join a training facility, and these are the people we felt we needed to reach the most. Day in and day out we come in contact with people who are craving help and guidance with their health, but for reasons previously mentioned, simply did not act. And this is what is attributing to the increasing load on our local GP’s and adding to the imminent collapse of the national health system. By doing our small bit we hope to help to reverse this. We strive to offer GUIDANCE, SUPPORT, VALUE and EXPERTISE that you can trust
