African Americans find themselves leading the national health index when it comes to heart disease, cancer, strokes, obesity, diabetes, kidney and liver disorder, respiratory, and autoimmune diseases. Why? Dr. U-Shaka Craig, in "Shifting Your Paradigm for Optimum Health and Longevity" provides a telling account of diet and health as it relates to the African American community/culture. He is convinced that people in general and African Americans specifically can revolutionize their health and well-being by being more intelligent in the lifestyle they choose and foods they eat. In today's environment of denatured, processed, chemical additives, and genetically engineered products...the author provides clear and practical alternatives from a life of illness and disease to one of optimum health and longevity. If you want to live free of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and other such illnesses, the power is in your hands. To be healthy, it is essential to make a shift away from our old thinking patterns and eating habits. This book provides you with an excellent model in making a paradigm shift in both your thinking and behavior by: (1) Tracing the historical development of food as it relates to Black people, especially African Americans; (2) Outlining African Americans' current physical, social, and psychological realities; (3) Identifying the psychological trap that undermines our potential for health and happiness; (4) Demonstrate the connection between the various types of foods we eat and our current state of health; and (5) Providing a scientifically proven program for African Americans that will help them transform their eating habits which will then result in feeling better, gaining health, living longer, and moving closer to the goals of physical and spiritual liberation. Our ancestors left us with a Kemetic principle called Ma'at that speaks to the need of adding (truth, justice, peace, and right order) harmony to our lives which bring us in balance with the world and universe. My hope is that this book will inspire you to choose wisely -for your health and wellbeing.
