Some are born blessed with the high metabolism of a hummingbird and the body of a Swedish supermodel. I am not one
of those individuals.
I grew up on hearty southern soul food drenched in butter
and drowned in gravy, but by the age of 10, I began to notice the
negative effects of this diet on the people I loved most in this
world -- my family.
I began to notice many members of my family were obese
or well on their way to plus size, and I was determined not to
follow their lead. I promised myself that I would take a different
road toward another direction in search of a healthier lifestyle.
Likewise, Baton Rouge Health and Fitness Magazine is
motivated by a desire to inspire readers to live healthy, not only
for themselves, but also for their loved ones. Our focus is to
educate readers with information from the point-of-view of seasoned medical and fitness professionals and to encourage their
health and fitness awareness.
It is time to take charge of your health. It is time to take a
step forward toward better health and to start living! BRH&F
