RW Sea Moss came about by happenstance, an inspiration that manifested from a mere interaction with a neighbor whom I encountered one day while at the local grocery store shopping for ingredients to prepare some sea moss gel for my personal consumption. Searching the produce section and coming up short, I beckoned the grocery attendant for some key limes. “My man, I need some key limes. Where are your key limes?!” I said with frantic urgency. They were all out.
“There are limes over there, why can’t you use those?” the young lady added with friendly assistance. This was the pivotal question that pretty much started it all. I expanded on my reason for using key limes exclusively; the greater alkalinity, enhancement of digestion, antioxidant concentration, aid in fighting infection and diseases like type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, amongst other great benefits. A conversation ensued concluding with a discussion of sea moss. She was eager to try the final product. After a few days of securing some key limes and preparing my sea moss gel, I made good on the promise days before and gave the young lady some sea moss gel to try. A few more days later this same neighbor was inquiring if I had any more sea moss gel, maybe to sell. And the rest was history…
As a veteran community member of the Queensbridge and Ravenswood Houses in Long Island City, Queens, NY, my passion for health and fitness is not strange to anyone. I would often encourage the younger brothers and sisters to maintain their physical health and led by example. For years one could witness my routine morning workouts in the park and avid bike riding. I invited all who were inspired to join, if they could keep up. Not only were my workouts intense, I was and still to this day would serve these young dudes on the ball court!
Poor eating habits, alcohol and tobacco abuse, and disease such as diabetes has plagued our community for the longest. A new day is now upon us. We are becoming more cognizant of the things that impact us negatively that we must address as a society. I now feel it is my obligation to promote and spread health and wellness awareness throughout the community. We are in this together.
Peace and Love Family!
