The Health Diary for Women of Color: Your Personal Log

It's been said "those who don't know their history are destined to repeat it." It's important for women to know their health history, as well. Women often keep gratitude journals, love diaries and the like. Now comes a diary to help women keep up with, and pay attention to their health, and to do so in a way that's easy, personal, yet informative. A health book that's all about you. The HEALTH DIARY was created to encourage all women--and especially those in minority populations--to pay closer attention to their health, and thus, help change the statistics on women's health in those communities. "Despite major advances in medicine, certain groups of women still carry the worst prognosis and statistics for major illnesses, including heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, fibroids, infant mortality, stroke and more. This is especially true in Black women, but Hispanics and others have room for improvement," says the author, Dr. McCloud. This book provides an easy approach to healthier living. The book's cover represents it's purpose: whether you're a woman who just likes color; is Black, Hispanic, Asian, or other, or whatever your skin color is, this book is for you. Health tips specifically addressing concerns of African-American, Caucasian, Hispanic, Native American and Asian women are included. It's a timeless tool for doctor visits, family reflections and helps mothers jump-start their young daughters into caring for their health. It's time to prosper and be in health.
