| Abstract: | (from the cover) Written from an Afrocentric point of view, this book investigates sources of stress in the home and workplace. The author reviews historical events that planted roots of stress for African American women including slavery, racism, and the economic and social pressures currently facing African American men. This book offers methods of stress reduction from a popular walking program to biofeedback, meditation, massage, yoga, and breathing exercises. Also highlighted are foods that contribute to stress and herbs that may help eliminate it. |
