Senator Scott and I are undertaking a weight loss bet in 2016. We want to lead by example and to focus on the importance of living a healthy lifestyle in the new year. It is our goal to inspire other black men to commit to active lifestyles and healthy eating along with us.
African Americans face startling disparities in our health. 37.9% of non-Hispanic African American men 20 years and over are obese or overweight. The leading cause of death for African American men is heart disease. Senator Scott and I don't want to becoming living examples of those statistics. Will you join us?
And what should we wager as part of this challenge? Leave your comments below:
