As Donald's first cousin, I would be the first to say that I may have some bias, but as it relates to this book of knowledge regarding the overall aspects of obtaining and maintaining a healthy life, especially in the African American community, I will be very frank and earnest. (I'm Frank in N.Y. and Earnest in SC). That being said, as a (non athletic, 9-11 World Trade Center victim, severe COPD, 59 year old, former 40 year smoker, disease stricken black male); I will truly give for what I see as the true value of this book. To be honest, at the beginning of my reading I thought this book was clearly written for athletes and athletic academics. The material can initially be a very intimidating read but as you start to settle in and focus on Donald's breakdown and layout of the causes and effects of foods, vitamins, and exercise on the human body, the material becomes interesting, educational, and yes fun. It does appear that modern day apps, Ipods, Ipads, and blackberry lifestyles do not provide an atmosphere that helps to develop a healthy lifestyle. For this reason, the lack of healthy eating and exercise performed by children and the modern day adult is greatly reduced. I will tell you that after reading the New Jump Swing Healthy Aging & Athletic Nutrition Program Book, I had a one on one interview with Donald regarding the material. With that said, I do honestly believe the fact that African-Americans and other minorities have some of the highest rates of nutrition and lifestyle related illnesses is the primary motivating factor that for years, has inspired Donald to create and present his Healthy Aging/Athletic Nutrition Program so that people of all ages and backgrounds can improve their knowledge, as well as health performance. The book is also an important health resource tool that people can use to assist themselves in reducing the pain and suffering that may come down the pike as one travels through their life's journey. Here's the bottom line; Some things in life are unavoidable and nothing in life but death is guaranteed but this book gives you the best shot at keeping death alive a lot longer. By: Roland W. Thomas
