In Part 3 of our conversation, Better Black Health with Dr. Greg Hall and Akil Marshall turn to older adults and what it takes not just to live longer, but to live better.
They talk about staying active, keeping strength and mobility, staying mentally sharp and socially connected, and keeping a sense of purpose in later life. They also cover practical steps listeners can start at any age.
Akil Marshall is a nationally recognized leader in arts education, culturally responsive teaching, and social-emotional learning. A former professional football player, he was the first strength and fitness coach in the NBA and the first African American man to host an exercise and fitness television show in the United States.
He has written five books, most recently Winning In America: The High 5 Model for American Education. His honors include the 2006 Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. Community Service Award from the Cleveland Orchestra and the Greater Cleveland Partnership.
He founded Winning In America, ABC123 Kids Express, Dance Afrika Dance, and Fit 4 Success 365, and he is CEO of The Akil Marshall Organization in Cleveland, Ohio. Website: Each episode of Better Black Health is sponsored by GNetX Sequence Multivitamins for African Americans and the Better Black Health book, which addresses many of the healthcare disparities faced by the Black community.
