Now Is Our Time: Healthy Living for Black Women 40-55

In America, black women have statistically high incidences of certain illnesses and conditions. Therefore, as they approach their menopausal years—a time of greater health risks for all women—it is especially important that they focus their attention on wellness. In this program hosted by dancer/celebrity Debbie Allen, several black women talk about their midlife health concerns, while two doctors and a diabetes educator discuss the importance of monitoring for diabetes, heart disease, and cancer; the pros and cons of hormone replacement therapy; and other topics, including the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
