Hi everyone! My name is Arnold and welcome to the New Life Radio Podcast. The purpose of my podcast is to advocate for and talk about the importance of holistic health for men and as an African American male, it is my desire to help the men of the black community.
Today, you can easily find black men influencing the music, entertainment, and cultural spaces of society. But where are the leaders who advocate for black men's health? Sure. You can dress nicely outwardly, have nice shoes, a car, a house to stay, and flash money all over the place, but do you feel good about yourself inwardly? Do you know how to take care of your health, be it mental, physical, sexual, cosmetic, dental, and the list can go on and on. According to the online article entitled “Health Statistics for Black American Men”, Black Men in the United States suffer worse health than any other racial group in America. Black men have the lowest life expectancy and the highest death rate from specific causes compared to both men and women of other racial and ethnic groups.
But be that as it may, I, as a black man, have decided that I will advocate for black men's health and my message to men of all races, and anyone who is interested in self care, as well as young boys and teenagers, is to be PROACTIVE and not reactive to things that are going on to our bodies. Let us realize that desire and initiative are key drivers that can lead us to having a long, happy, and abundant life. We deserve to feel proud of ourselves and not ashamed. We deserve to hold our heads up high and above all, be proud to smile. The world needs your health and most of all, the world needs you. I hope you will join me on this mission, as together we will change the world.
