Healthy at Last

Prominent NYC-based public servant shares his incredible story of reversing type-2 diabetes by adopting a plant-based diet, and offers a guide for people of color to advocate for themselves and improve their health.

Brooklyn Borough President and mayoral hopeful Eric Adams is on a mission to tackle one of the most stubborn health problems in the country: diabetes in the African-American community.

African-Americans are heavier and sicker than any other group in America, but this doesn't have to be the case. Armed with the hard science and real-life stories of those who have revolutionized their health by changing their diet, Adams shares the key steps for a healthy, active life. With this book, he shows readers how to avoid processed foods, cut down on salt, get more fiber, and substitute chicken and pork with plant-based alternatives, all while staying true to the roots of soul food.

Adams knows firsthand how life-changing a plant-based diet can be. Within weeks of adopting this diet, he lost 35 pounds, lowered his cholesterol by 30 points, and completely cured his diabetes--all by adjusting what he ate.
