HELLOBEAUTIFUL.com - Did you know that Vitamin D deficiency is common among African-Americans? And did you know that this deficiency causes greater susceptibility to illnesses that are more ubiquitous in African-American than among other ethnic groups?
I didn’t know any of this until I began learning about Emily Allison-Francis, who’s written a book on Vitamin D deficiency and why it’s so very important for people, specifically African-Americans, to get enough of it.
Her book, which I urge you to order a copy of is called Correcting The Vitamin D Deficiency Epidemic: Strategies to Fight Disease and Prolong Life for Black People, and it’s available on Amazon.com.
I had the pleasure of catching up with the author recently and found her incredibly knowledgeable and inspiring.
