Hood Health 101

What is Hood Health

What is Hood Health?

I'm everywhere folks

To those who still check in here PEACE. I have often thought about reinvigorating this site yet my current schedule just doesn't allow it. For those who aren't in the know since I started this blog many moons ago I have co-edited a book which has been a paradigm changer in the whole health field entitled The Hood Health Handbook (vol I and II). You can find both volumes on Amazon and other assorted places. We opened up a new door dealing with racial health disparity. I have been working with projects centered around this new paradigm.

The two major projects that I am working on is Old Skoolie 1863 which is about transforming a school bus into an RV/mobile community center. The second project that I am working on is penning some weekly articles over at the Source magazine in the Hood Health 101 section. I will actually be reposting some of the old articles here and will post the current ones frequently.

If you want to keep up with me just generally you can catch me on twitter, fb or IG. Those are the spots that I generally hang out at. Here's to a great new year!

Sol Power Network Episode II (Shoh Wu Chih)

Changing Venues

Yes, I still exist. I will now be blogging anything dealing with right eating, raw foodism, plant-centric diets, etc over at The Sol Power Network. I am basically collapsing all of my blogs into one. So instead of just getting a fraction of me you can get the whole number.

Yes. I've been moving across every square inch of this planet. Yesterday I got to get my focus on by just chopping some wood.

Another reason to drink 100% fruit juice...

From some of my peoples:

One more reason to drink 100% juice , http://news. yahoo. com/s/ap/20090313/ap_on_re_us/windshield_fluid_sickness . Windshield wiper fluid is mistaken for Kool-Aid. Children should not be fed any type of juice that is made with sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and artificial dyes. People have become so used to feeding kids juices with artificial dyes they really have no idea what the hell juice looks like. The Standard American Diet (SAD) makes it so people dont even think anymore and feed children anything.

What people consume in a week worldwide.

Mexico: The Casales family of Cuernavaca

Riding off of my manifestation from yesterday...many of us have no world perspective. Hunger is not just defined by the lack of quantity of food..the lack of quality of food is up in there also. So many of us think that we're not starving ourselves yet we are eating empty calories and our bodies aren't receiving the proper nutrients. This is the root of the health epidemic in places like the United States who though 'enlightened' seem to be hit with an over abundance of health issues.

Photographer Joao Batista has done a fascinating series of photos titled "The People and the Food They Consume in a Week.” He took snaps of families in countries around the world (including the U.S., Egypt, Poland, Chad, Mongolia, Greenland, Bhutan, and France) posing in their homes with the food they consume in a typical week. You can get a peek at it at the Meallennium blog. A Facebook login is needed for the full set.

Raw at the Root (of civilization)

Never thought there would be the day when I would verse on the regular with Gods and Earths about being a raw foodist yet I definitely got my raw food clique that I Build with when at the root (Mecca aka Harlem). I got the normal usual versing with my little brother Khalik Allah about how eating that raw chocolate can get you HYGH! (No lie). Also spoke with him and Original Author Allah about the project that they are working on.

Then I got to meet in the flesh Queen Jael Devine whom you may know as Ravyn from Rawthentic life.
Good to meet and confirm internet celebrities in the flesh. And on another note...we might just be having a Original Indigenous Raw feast up here in CT in the upcoming months so stay tuned!

Big business is not synonymous with someone who will tell you the truth about anything. Remember that and check things for yourself and trust not THEIR studies.

Three Plants that Give You Better Indoor Air

By Kevin Purdy, 8:05 AM on Mon Feb 9 2009, 30,864 views

Kamal Meattle used three just three indoor plant species to increase oxygen, filter air, and boost general health at a a New Delhi business park. You can use them, too, in any indoor environment.

Meattle's presentation at the TED 2009 conference details a large-scale success, using thousands of plants for hundreds of workers. In any living or working space, though, the three plants—Areca palm, Mother-in-law's Tongue, and a "Money Plant"—can be used to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen, remove organic compounds, and generally filter and freshen the ambient air. A single person looks to need a minimum of 11 total plants, and certain climates with less sunlight could require a bit of hydroponic growing, but Meattle swears by the health, productivity, and atmosphere benefits. Check out the detailed slides from his TED talk:

1 year anniversary for self and Catch a Healthy Habit

In 2007 I went to Denver and had a raw food fiesta. I had chocolate pudding made with cacao and avocado. I had spaghetti made out o zucchini and 'meatballs' made out of nut meat. I had 'heard' the term 'raw foodist' thrown around yet I had images of just munching on an apple and stuff. My time in Denver changed that. It took a while yet later that year I fully switched over into a raw foodist life style. In fact it is going on about a year now. Ironically Catch a Healthy Habit, the raw food cafe in West Haven had its 1 year anniversary yesterday.

Now, it wasn't easy at first because I was/am in the process of learning. So in order to make sure I was getting a variety in my meals I had to constantly be on the ball learning new recipes. What eased this whole transition into this lifestyle was Catch a Healthy Habit. It is my version of raw 'fast food'. I can roll through and get some raw goodness to touch the tummy and it will be good. I'm a question asker also so I've learned alot during its one year in existence here near me.

As I prepare to move I think how easy that it has been for me yet I am happy in that I definitely did not waste my time there. I learned while I was around. If you roll through southern C-Truth definitely check it out.
