Enough: When Sacrifice has Gone Too Far

Description

"Enough: When Sacrifice has Gone Too Far" speaks to all the women who have been the caretakers for every family member, as well as the caretakers of children who aren't even their own. For years, women have been taught and expected to operate in this role. African American women have been further repressed, suppressed, and marginalized because of our history of slavery and the oppression that that followed and remains today. This results in a population that dies faster and younger than other women. This book explains how we became victim to our health statistics and gives the reader the information needed to change the direction of their health and life. With chapters on Naturopathic and Homeopathic Medicine, Nutrition (including the need for water, reducing sugar and cow's milk), the importance of sleep, physical and spiritual exercise (meditation), this guide provides everything you need to take control of your life and live a healthier lifestyle. This is a must-read for women who are looking to enhance their lives and overcome the challenges of social expectations and oppression. For generations, women have been sacrificing so much to take care of others. It's time for women to take care of themselves and achieve the life they want and deserve.
