About this listen

The discussion focused on asthma in pediatric populations, particularly among African Americans, highlighting its inflammatory nature and genetic predisposition. Key preventive measures include awareness, identifying triggers, and maintaining a healthy diet to avoid obesity. Regular well checks and vaccinations are crucial for newborns and elders. The conversation also addressed ageism, advocating for the term "older adults" over "seniors." Chiquita emphasized the importance of education and caregiving for older adults, including those with dementia, and stressed the need for early diagnosis and proper care. The program concluded with a reminder to tune in for part two.
