(BALTIMORE – March 14, 2023) – Founded on March 16, 1827, as a four-page, four-column standard-sized weekly, Freedom’s Journal was the first black-owned and operated newspaper in the United States, and was established the same year that slavery was abolished in New York State.

The newspaper was founded at 5 Varick Street in Lower Manhattan, New York, by Jamaican-born John Brown Russwurm, Bowdoin College’s first African American graduate and only the third Black person to graduate from an American college.

Cofounder Samuel Eli Cornish, born in Sussex County, Delaware, and a graduate of the Free African School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, also founded Shiloh Presbyterian Church, the first Black Presbyterian Church in Manhattan, in 1822.

Come out and join Black Press professionals as we commemorate the very beginning of the 196-year legacy.

(WASHINGTON, D.C. – February 21, 2023) –

Everyone knows that proper nutrition is essential to healing, especially when recovering from surgery. But what foods should we be eating after a surgical procedure? This article will cover the benefits of specific foods that may help us heal more quickly and effectively after surgeries.

LEAFY GREEN VEGETABLES

One food group to consume for post-surgical healing are from the leafy green vegetables category. Leafy greens are packed with vitamins and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron, as well as vitamins A, C, and K – all of which support our bodies in recovery. Not only do these nutrients assist with wound healing but they also boost energy levels and can reduce inflammation throughout the body when eaten regularly. If you are interested in purchasing high quality foods in this category, one should aim to get their leafy greens from local farmers markets or co-ops whenever possible since they often have the most nutrient-dense options available.

PROTEIN

Another food to incorporate into a post-surgical diet is lean proteins like fish, poultry or eggs. Protein helps rebuild tissues damaged by surgery and have also been shown to reduce pain levels after long hospital stays or prolonged periods of bed rest. Reducing pain can make it easier for individuals to take part in physical activities that further promote recovery – such as light stretching and walking.

PROBIOTICS

Probiotic foods such as kefir, kombucha or miso soup may help support healthy gut bacteria during this delicate period of healing. Probiotics help improve digestion which can be especially beneficial if an individual experiences digestive issues after taking antibiotics or other medications prescribed following surgery. These types of fermented goods are relatively easy to find at local health food stores – making them a convenient option when putting together meals that nourish and satisfy, while promoting overall health.

No matter what type of surgery you have had or where you live, incorporating leafy greens, lean proteins and probiotic foods into your daily diet can be an effective way to support your body during its natural healing process. Eating for post-surgery healing does not need to be complicated; just focus on fresh ingredients, grown locally and you will soon be feeling better in no time!
