first posted July 2 2014 Last year  I was involved in a Fundraiser for Gerdine Graham  Foundation , a fundraiser for Leukemia And we will be doing it  again on March 18, 2016.

Hello, all it's your Your Health and Social  Advocate here,  I would like to have a candid discussion  about fitness vs Health. I  appreciate all of  my readers and I wanted to say thank you  for reading my blog.   Health literacy has been defined as: “The ability to access, understand, evaluate and communicate information as a way to promote, maintain and improve health in a variety of settings across the life-course” (Rootman & Gordon-El-Bihbety, 2008, p. 11).
