Last year during Black History month, we told you about a new cookbook which turned traditional soul food recipes into healthy eating. It was promoted by a San Diego women who wanted to change the health habits of African-Americans and turn around some very bad health statistics. The Centers for Disease Control says African-Americans have rates of hypertension, diabetes, and obesity much higher than other American populations.
This year, the same guest returns with a mission to get black women into exercise. And to explain why working out has extra challenges for African American women.
