FASHION Continued from Cl accessories accelerate in value, making the most simple attire, bold and refreshing.” Hot accessories for women include handbags, dress gloves and

hats.

In jewelry, gold makes a resurgence and manifests itself in cuffs and bracelets for both men and women —in addition to beaded adornments in semi-precious stones such as jade and lapis. Other trends include updated twists to basic utilitarian pieces, evident in outer and footwear. Once thought of as a replacement item, coats have now become popular accessories for the conscious fashionista. “The coat is proof positive of how fashion is an evolutionary process in our lives,” says Rice. “I have not seen them look better, they are in fresh colors that no one would have ever thought of.” Whether in snake-skin or microfiber, tall or short, with a buckle or zipper, the boot is a must have. The requisites in casual wear are dark denim, stretch vinyl and leather in streamlined shapes, says Keesha Pfeiffer of Nordstrom. “The word is. sleek and the clothing is pared dowh^Jjv slim, hip-$lung jeans, cropped jackets, chiffon blouses with a htdter or scarf-tie neckline/’ she says. “Necklines are low and very feminine.” , Textural, chunky knits, updated tartan or Burberry-esque plaids, traditional tweed, herringbone and houndstooth patterns are part of this fall’s fashion tapestry, evident throughout designer collections. In the world of children’s clothes expect much of the same. “They are looking more and more each day like the adults,” says Rice. “You will find all of the elements such as leather, fur trim, animal prints in clothing for small children and teen-agers. The youth are fashion forward and very opinionated and their clothing reflects just that.”

from Indiana University Medical School, Dr. Hudson attended Wabash College and practiced general surgery at Boston University Hospital. He is the clinical director of cardiothoracic surgery at Rockford Health Systems in Rockford, Illinois, where he also serves as cardiac surgeon. “Black America is starved for information. I hope (this book) wi 11 have a major impact on changing one’s attitude,” said Dr. Hudson, recognizing various barriers that limit familiarity with health issues. “We die more often (than other races for some diseases). I think Black people have been demanding a change. As a Black man, I deserve to live as long as (other races),” he added. The book identifies key risk factors associated with heart disease including stress, high blood pressure, smoking and increased cholesterol levels. Some individuals may have a family history of heart disease, which puts them at higher risk levels for contracting the condition. Simple lifestyle modifications can ultimately reduce the onset of symptoms. Each chapter incorporates real life experiences from actual heart disease patients, and attempts to analyze lifestyles while providing alternatives to negative health be-

haviors.

“The stories in every chapter are

BOOKMARK Continued from Cl about African American people. Every single aspect of Black life is pulled from true experiences,” notes Dr. Hudson, acknowledging how readers can relate to common figures such as grandma frying chicken and regularly indulging in a high fat diet. After ignoring heart disease warning signs Reverend Asa Johnson, 69, suffered a fatal heart attack. He experienced shortness of breath and chest pains, which signified an impending heart complication. While Rev. Johnson represents only one of numerous portrayals, his story can be applied towards a di verse group of African Americans who lack adequate health knowledge. Along with health concise information, “The Heart of the Matter” promotes relaxation techniques such as meditation and spiritual renewal accompanied by a weekly fitness routine. Health wellness ministries, says Dr. Hudson, are extremely important to join forces with Black

churches.

Dr. Hudson’s father had open heart surgery at age 64, and dramatically altered his lifestyle and eating habits to decrease any additional heart problems. Exercise and a healthy diet are necessary for overall good health, recommends Dr. Hudson, who includes 70 low fat soul food recipes in the book. Popular dishes such as macaroni

and cheese receive a makeover using skim milk and reduced-fat Cheddar cheese. “People are becoming more health conscious with greater expectations,” admits Dr., Hudson, hoping that his book will ignite great response and concern for healthy living. By establishing Hilton Publishing Company, Dr. Hudson created a platform to discuss Black health concerns such as cancer and AIDS/ HIV. Next month, his new book “The Black Man’s Guide to Good Health” will be released to explore health issues specifically related to African-American men. Pfizerjnc. has provided free books to citizens across the U.S. through their promotional support of his “The Heart of the Matter.” Dr. Hudson will be signing his book in Indianapolis, September 16 at X-Pressions Bookstore and September 17 at Barnes & Noble Bookstore. The Indianapolis Recorder is sponsoring a Healthy Soul Food Recipe contest in support of “The Heart of the Matter,” and contests are eligible for prizes and a free copy of the book. Further details can be found in our A sec-

tion.
