April is Minority Health Month, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Minority Health (OMH) observes National Minority Health Month to highlight the importance of improving the health of racial and ethnic minority and American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities and reducing health disparities. The theme for National Minority Health Month 2023 is "Better Health Through Better Understanding", focuses on improving health outcomes for racial and minority communities by providing them with culturally and linguistically competent healthcare services, information, and resources.
As we think about eliminating health disparities, a part of that is making sure we are empowered as individuals to be advocates for ourselves. While we work on changing policies, we also have to make sure we are educated about our bodies, our minds, and our daily habits. Listen in to this conversation with Sandra Jenkins Clark, a certified yoga instructor and Dr. Nicholette Martin, a health and wellness coach and author, and former National Director, Health and Human Services for The Links, Incorporated - to give you some tips on the benefits of yoga, some commonly asked nutrition questions, and the importance of self-care.
