Promoting the Health of African Americans


Herbalife can help African Americans focus their thinking on the important role diet plays in
achieving overall health. African Americans face their own culturally specific health
challenges, including higher risk of diabetes, obesity and strokes. Find out how Herbalife is
helping this ethnic group. Obesity is one of the most serious problems facing the American
population today. According to the U.S. Surgeon General, 62 percent of all Americans are
overweight, putting them at increased risk for developing diabetes, heart problems, cancer
and many other illnesses. Culturally specific health issues In addition to the alarming obesity
epidemic sweeping the country–and the world–African Americans face their own culturally

cancer, diabetes, kidney failure and more. And statistics estimate that 58% of African-
