African American
women are facing a health crisis: Heart disease, stroke, and diabetes
occur more frequently among them than among women of other races.
Black women comprise the heftiest group in the nation—80 percent
are overweight, and 50 percent obese. Decades of studies show that
these chronic diseases can be prevented and even reversed with a
plant-based diet. But how can you control your weight and health
without sacrificing great food and gorgeous curves?
Just ask Tracye Lynn
McQuirter. With attitude, inspiration, and expertise, in By Any
Greens Necessary McQuirter shows women how to stay healthy,
hippy, and happy by eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables,
whole grains, and legumes as part of an active lifestyle. The book is
a call to action that all women should heed.
