Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mira! I'm trying to help you, ok! I write and talk about health and wellness all the time. It's pretty much my job. In a quest to find my target audience one day, I made a plea on twitter asking for help. Someone brought to my attention that I should specifically try to target Latinas. "No way." I thought, "These women are too hard headed." The truth is, I have been on a quest to help improve the health of Latinas for years. I have been watching friends and family members die. Not in the literally but over time, via Facebook. I was seeing pictures of women in my family aging way faster than they should be and get bigger and bigger by the selfie. I felt I had to do something so, I made the video "No Mas Tortillas." In this video I specifically targeted Latinas, pleading with them to make some changes to their diet. The video didn't go viral or anything but it did get some attention when I posted it on Facebook. People mostly found it entertaining more than anything else. Watch it. I'm hilarious. I felt like the women I was targeting got a good laugh but ignored my advice. Then, I got this post in response to the video: "You might be happy to know that, thanks to you, this Latina no longer eats tortillas, rice or beans, for a few years now! My body and digestion are so much better now! You're right, I do not want to suffer from the ailments my family did." Veronica. That's when I realized that I had gotten through to someone, that I had made a difference in someone's life. What if I could get through to someone else, even if it was just one more person? What if someone's mom, grandma or sister, took my advice and got healthy? I needed to press on with my quest, but how? Over the next couple months, Veronica shared my video with her mother and cousin. Both bought my book, The Complete Guide to Primitive Eating, and started the program. During a coaching call with Veronica, I had made a very valid point about weight loss that prompted her to ask, "Is that in your book?" It wasn't. That's when I knew I had to write this book. I had a blast writing this book. It allowed me to be creative and to learn a lot more about Latin American culture and the negative effects certain foods have on our bodies. And, because it came from the heart, it's good. The best thing I have written so far. In this book I am going to cover the following topics: - The harsh reality of your and your family's health - Agriculture in Latin America - Foods that are killing Latinas - Chronic Inflammation and Disease - Addressing your children's eating habits - An easy program to get healthy

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given recent developments in health care and policy and a steadily increasing population of people of Mexican origin in the United States, a comprehensive look at Mexican American health has never been more necessary. Adela de la Torre and Antonio Estrada first accomplished such an overview with Mexican Americans and Health in 2001, and they have since continued to revise and expand their initial work. With a multitude of additions and renovations, Mexican Americans and Health, 2nd Edition provides a timely and accessible description of current topics in Latino health. De la Torre and Estrada once again present a broad and nuanced understanding of recent issues involving Mexican American health and well-being, this time with the addition of discussions on: * the new U.S. Human Development Index to contextualize the health, education, and income status of Mexican Americans relative to other population groups, * emerging diseases, such as diabetes and obesity, * recent health-care reforms under the Obama administration, * substance abuse, sexual risk, and psychological distress among HIV-positive individuals in the gay/bisexual community, * and predictions of future trends for the next decade. This new volume has been updated throughout to reflect the many developments in health care since its first edition. Mexican Americans and Health, 2nd Edition continues to present data on a large number of health issues that are important and relevant to the Mexican American population, while describing the social contexts in which they are occurring. Its comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach brings originality and focus to a dynamic literature.

Book excerpt: "Waiting for Bebe" will deal with the unique concerns, both physiological and cultural, that Hispanic women face during pregnancy. In addition to the increased risk of gestational diabetes, Latinas also must be aware of their increased risks for developing hypertension, gallbladder disease, tuberculosis, rubella, obesity, and depression, all of which, if left undiagnosed at the time of pregnancy, can have devastating effects on the unborn child. "Waiting for Bebe" not only will address these specific health concerns, but will also explore the rich cultural traditions and myths surrounding pregnancy in Hispanic culture.

Book excerpt: Essential reading for health and mental health administrators, community agencies, and policy makers as well as students and general interest readers, this book details the state of the physical and mental health of many Latina/o American groups. While Latina/o Americans originate from more than 25 countries, most health or mental health texts largely focus on Mexican Americans and often fail to address other Latina/o groups, such as South Americans, Central Americans, Puerto Ricans, and others. Moreover, most works address either health or mental health, but not both together. In contrast, Latina/o American Health and Mental Health addresses both the health and mental health of diverse Latina/o heritage groups. An interdisciplinary approach enables readers to identify both similar and divergent areas that affect the health and mental health of Latina/o Americans. Strengths-based and social justice perspectives, rather than a deficit perspective, guide the work in its assessment of disparities among treatment for different groups. This text is ideal for graduate students, practitioners, researchers, and policy makers in public health, community health, family studies, psychology, counseling, social work, and Latina/o studies who are interested in understanding Latina/o health and mental health in the United States and providing culturally responsive services.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In compelling first-person accounts, Latinas speak freely about dealing with serious health episodes as patients, family caregivers, or friends. They show how the complex interweaving of gender, class, and race impacts the health status of LatinasÑand how family, spirituality, and culture affect the experience of illness. Here are stories of Latinas living with conditions common to many: hypertension, breast cancer, obesity, diabetes, depression, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, dementia, ParkinsonÕs, lupus, and hyper/hypothyroidism. By bringing these narratives out from the shadows of private lives, they demonstrate how such ailments form part of the larger whole of Latina lives that encompasses family, community, the medical profession, and society. They show how personal identity and community intersect to affect the interpretation of illness, compliance with treatment, and the utilization of allopathic medicine, alternative therapies, and traditional healing practices. The book also includes a retrospective analysis of the narratives and a discussion of Latina health issues and policy recommendations. These Latina cultural narratives illustrate important aspects of the social contexts and real-world family relationships crucial to understanding illness. Speaking from the Body is a trailblazing collection of personal testimonies that integrates professional and personal perspectives and shows that our understanding of health remains incomplete if Latina cultural narratives are not included.
