From hypertension to heart disease, many African American men in particular suffer from preventable health conditions in silence. Our guests RIco and Skip tell us how they stopped smoking, controlled their Type 2 diabetes and hypercholesterolemia with lifestyle changes and partnerships with their health professionals. They did it and you can too with lifestyle changes that include physical activity, smoking cessation and eating meals packed with fresh vegetables and fruit.
