Carnival & Your Health
By Asante Dickson, M.D.

we think freedom, fun, music and endless island culinary
favorites. Carnival has become an international phenomenon
with people worldwide traveling to participate in
this West Indian festival. Regardless of location,
during any carnival, the weather is almost always
a scorcher. People eat, drink and dance to the sweet,
pulsating rhythms and sounds of soca music during
the hottest periods of the day. Trinidad carnival
launches the season of carnivals around the world.
The season begins for revelers in February or early
March and ends in October with Miami’s Carnival.
