Black Females More Likely Than Black Males to Exercise by Colleen Fleiss on February 26, 2021 at 9:41 PM
Black women and girls engage in more exercise and better eating habits than Black men and boys when faced with discrimination, according to research published by the American Psychological Association. In this study, Black women and girls didn t just survive in the face of racism, they actually responded in a positive manner, in terms of their health behavior, said lead researcher Frederick Gibbons, PhD, with the University of Connecticut. This gives us some hope that despite the spike in racism across the country, some people are finding healthy ways to cope.
