Celebrate Black History and Heart Health Month with our Dessert Recipe
Globally, heart disease is the leading cause of death. Women are impacted the most by heart disease, as it is the number one killer of all women but black women are affected at a higher rate compared to other races. If you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, are overweight/obese or if you smoke your risk for heart disease significantly increases.
While it is black history month, research shows us that women, specifically black women, carry a large burden to excel in the workforce, take care of the home, their children and are even caretakers of their aging parents or grandparents. This additional stress increases health risk as persistent and uncontrolled stress leads to inflammatory pathways in the body.
Black history month celebrates the African Diaspora achievements and acknowledges their struggles and adversity to achieve equality.
