Dr. Ro's 10 Secrets for Healthy Livin'

Dr. Ro's Ten Secrets to Livin' Healthy: America's Most Renowned African American Nutritionist Shows You How to Look Great, Feel Better, and Live Longer by Eating Right This is a great book for anyone who wants to start on the journey of eating correctly for once and for all. When I received the book, I didn't think I would enjoy it. I thought it would be boring but Dr. Ro makes it very interesting with the way she broke the book down into her own stories and the stories of her readers to explain the importance of how and why we should all eat healthy. The book is targeted for African-American women as we suffer the most from heart disease, diabetes and hypertension but the book is a good, informative read for anyone who wants to finally put a plan together to eat better, exercise and live a healthier life. Any woman would see herself in these stories and be able to put a plan together for a better, healthier life.

Dr. Ro delivers a great message-it's time for us to listen!

Thank you, Dr. Ro, for your timely and on-point message about African American women and health. We are sadly losing too many African American women needlessly from poor eating habits, sedentary living and lack of self-care. This is an issue that we can longer ignore! It's time to stop talking about the problem and really do something about it. Dr. Ro's book, Ten Secrets to Livin' Healthy is a must read for every African American woman. Her book outlines a gimmick-free, no-nonsense plan that can save your life as well as those you love. I love Chapter 5 entitled "Heart Disease Begins at Six". How scary is that? Monitoring our children's diets and activity levels is so important. Thank you, Dr. Ro, for your commitment to saving the lives and livelihoods of African American women who may not have the time, interest or ability to seek out this information. Kudos to you!
