"Soul Food" is a term coined by African Americans to capture the
uniqueness of the cooking style utilized for themselves, families
and friends, all prepared with love, care and lots of soul. Many of
these foods are rich in vitamins and minerals, but are also rich or
high in total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium (salt).
"Cutting back on salt, as well as providing recipes that are
lower in sodium, fat, and cholesterol," will help to promote
"heart-healthy living."
Cultural diversity impacts what and how we eat. Cooking and
Feasting with foods that are high in fat, sodium, and carbohydrates
(sugars), are at the center of the traditional practices of African
Americans. This ethnic group has "paid a high price for this
lifestyle, with high incidences of Diabetes." Understanding
cultural differences can aid in providing nutritional counseling
that is culturally sensitive.Remember! Diabetes is the fourth
leading cause of disease-related death for African Americans.
