Men Hair Styles
Black men hair styles are usually very simple and require little or no maintenance. The last thing he needs or wants to
think about is his hair. This fact usually leaves him with the choice of wearing of cornrows, locs, or a very low hair cut.
Common hair and scalp issues that are associated with men hair styles are: alopecia, hair thinning, or hair loss. These men hair style issues come primarily from stress; improper
functioning of the organs of the body, particularly the liver, lung, sex organs, and kidney; physical and mental trauma that includes racial discrimination, poverty, and unhealthy lifestyle;
oil build up on the bulb of the hair shaft (sometimes associated with high levels of cholesterol); poor nutrition; and deep dirt & bacteria on the reproducing
part of the hair.
Solutions to men hair style issues -
- using hair products that are high in amino acids, that works within the hair follicle, and creates an alkaline environment within your scalp is the key. .
- Eating of well balanced meals throughout the day which includes lots of alkaline water; protein from almonds, green vegetables, sea vegetables, wild fish,
and some red meat; dark green leafy vegetables (collard greens, spinach, bok choy, turnips); supergreens/super food; and whole grains;
- eating high concentrations of alkaline foods like celery, spinach,
cucumber, avocado, tomatoe, grapefruit, and lemons;
- eliminating acidic foods from the diet like alcohol, soda, meat, cigarettes,
white bread, sugar, fried foods, and fast foods; Not only will consumption of healthy foods and drinks make you feel great, men hair styles are thicker, attractive, and radiant with a holistic approach to hair care.
- minimizing daily stress - exercising at least 30 minutes daily, meditating, reading, bringing it down a few notches;
When we place value on needs and health issues, black men hair styles are the least of our concerns. Among the primary concerns that may manifest its results in men hair styles are the following:
Diet and Nutrition
The late Hon. Elijah Muhammad states "You are what you eat". Today more than ever, this statement holds invaluable weight.
With the increase of easy access to genetically engineered foods, high access to alcohol, drugs, and unhealthy foods, and poor access to healthy foods,
Black men experience disproportionately higher death rates in all the leading causes of death - heart disease, cancer, and HIV/AIDS.
Many of the deaths of Black Men are preventable with different choices in what he consumes through in his mind and body.
Not only will eating a more healthy choice of foods get rid of belly fat, it will also clear up the skin, minimize the stress in the body, and make the body more alkaline.
Remember, disease, illness, and pain cannot exist in an alkaline environment.

Finding Balance and Harmony
Finding balance and harmony in this hectic world is most important in being your best self. Balance within the body, balance in the lifestyle and
choices, balance in eating habits, balance in emotions all make a difference in your overall health and wellness. Here are some useful ways to establish
balance in your life:
- Set a schedule and stick to it. Schedule healthy meals, schedule prayer and meditation, schedule 30 minutes of exercise, schedule work or study,
schedule family time, schedule your baths, schedule everything. Take an overall look at your schedule. Is is balanced? Does it honor all parts of who you are?
Doe is address areas that are of concern, hobbies, interests, life style choices? If it does not, revamp and include activities everyday that honor you, your healthy
choices, and your health.
- Find your natural high! - Did you know that when you exercise, indulge in yoga, ti chi, deliberately do deep breaths, and other physical activity, your body releases endorphines
similar to the endorphines released when one is high. Proper food, deliberate breath, exercise, and self care time is a natural high. It not only releases acids that build up in different
organs, the blood, and joints of the body, it brings great balance harmony to a system that is stressed and chemically changes your blood to be more healthy and alkaline.
- Don't worry be happy! - Laughter is the best medicine. Laughter is just as important as the breath we take. It heals the body, mind, and spirit. On any given day, pop in a comedy movie, Dave Chappelle,
Richard Pryor, or Katt Williams. It takes more muscles to frown than to smile. Use less muscles, less energy, change negative energy, and give the gift of a beautiful smile.
It changes your outward appeal and just as a smile looks completely different from a frown, so does your chemical make up respond in a positive way.
Health and Fitness
Black Male Health Statistics: From Updated reports from the Medical Review Board(2006), Black men live 7.1 years less than other racial groups,
40% of Black men die prematurely from cardiovascular disease as compared to 21% of white men, 44% of black men are considered overweight, 24% are
obese, and experience a high suicide rate.
Considering all factors, these statistics can change and relatively quickly. By making health care more affordable
and accessible to poor people, providing and seeking proper
health education, individuals accepting personal responsibility for thinking eating & lifestyle habits,
establishing services that cater to black men, and supporting President Barack Obama
on the issues that face Americans and his health care reform recommendations, many of these statistics can change dramatically.
