Damon K Jones is a Holistic Health Practitioner, First Aid in Mental Health Practitioner, Diet and Nutrition Advisor, Vegetarian Nutrition Life Coach and a vegan. He is also the author of 'The Empowering Benefits of Detoxing, Cleansing, and Eating Clean.'

Mr. Jones believes that black communities must be safe, sacred, and busy; like every other ethnic community. We must set real priorities for our health, wellness, and mental clarity. 

These priorities are:

1. Eating healthy 2. Working out 3. Enjoying optimum health and wellness.

Research shows that living a plant-based diet is cost-effective and has proven to lower body mass index, blood pressure, HbA1C, and cholesterol levels. In addition, a plant-based lifestyle reduces the number of medications needed to treat chronic diseases and lower ischemic heart disease mortality rates.
