Disclaimer: DO NOT INTERNALIZE THIS AND START PROJECTING AND DERAILING. THIS IS JUST AN OBSERVATION.
So i was watching an old episode of the Simpsons and i had an epiphany.
Why do Somali men like white women age terribly after 30? I mean you would think with all that melanin they would be perfectly preserved like their fellow somali women. Yes Somali women have a secret fat gene no denying that. Somali women spread faster than a rumor after giving birth but Somali men in general age faster than they should. Is this a recent phenomenon? Is there a collective thyroid problem we're not aware of? I noticed my cousin and his friends who are around 30-32 suddenly have jacked up hairlines, bad skin and pot bellies. It wasnt always like this. These men were fine just 5 years ago. I used to crush on some of his friends ..now im like gross adeero please wear a shirt that fits, your belly is hanging out. Enjoy your youth boys, you literally have DAYS left.
I thought maybe the ones here in the motherland would be different since they have access to organic food and fresh milk but nah.
Modernity might be erasing what's left of our culture and traditions but more importantly it's jacking up hairlines and teeth.
This is going to be lengthy so bare with me, but it will give you a clear insight and understanding.
This isn't just an issue facing Somali men you know. Somali women look god damn awful after pregnancy and pass the age 30. Some try to compensate for it with diana creams and make up. Whereas other try to hide their imperfections with their hijab. The physical degeneration and aging is observable in both genders and often times this degeneration happens also before the age 30, sometimes in their 20s and late teens.
Needless to say. I and many others have observed the same thing. It has nothing to do with Somali genetics and everything to do with the modern Somali diet. Yes this is a recent phenomena that didn't exist before.
The first time i noticed this was with my cousin who lives in an Arab country ( which i shall not name). He was at the time 1 year and half younger than i was in his teens yet he visibly look like an overweight balding odeey, with terrible skin tone rinkles , pimples in contrast to me who looked like a pre-pubescent kid at the time. The contrast between us was not the shocking part, the shocking part came when he showed me a portrait photo of himself 1-2 years prior . In that photo his hairline was intact, his skin was so radiant and flawless. He looked like he was photoshoped, not making this up he was that beautiful (no homo). After seeing that, I was like what the fudge happened to you?
This isn't an isolated thing. I have gone back to the facebook photos of several of the good looking Somali males i grew up with, they look much worse in contrast to what they did in their early teens.
The problem is that Somalis eat too much high glycemic foods (Processed Foods) that raise your blood sugar, such as products containing gluten, flour and sugar(white rice, pasta,canjeroo,malawax ,sambusa,bread, Halwa,tea etc), because of that we create systemic inflammation in our bodies. Inflammation leads to many illnesses, including joint disease, cancer, hair loss, skin eruptions like acne, heart disease, inflammatory bowel disease, Alzheimer's Disease, even multiple sclerosis and lupus.
chronic inflammation caused by diet is usually what is causing receding hairline and premature balding in many Somali males in the diaspora.
How do you know this is linked to the modern Somali diet, you may ask?. Well one key thing that informs me of it and is the observable difference in the appearance between that of Reer Badiyoo/miyii(Country side) Somalis and Reer magaal (City dwellers) Somalis in Somalia.
The Reer Badiyoo Somalis typically have an active lifestyle and a diet that is high in fat and protein lead. Their diet consist of dairy (Camel milk) and meat (goats and camel). As result they look physically 10 times better than the city dwellers who eat sugar, gluten flour carb lead diet.
Reer Badiyoo Somalis typically have whiter straighter teeth, better bone structure, zero hair loss, better skin, Taller and lean but more built than their Reer Magaal counterparts who on the other hand showcase various facial deformities, stunted growth, Hair loss, skin problems, stained buckteeth etc..
I can illustrate this with a couple of examples of Somali nomads. One is a pic of a youth likely in his teens and another is a pic of a grandpa in his 80s.
-Here you can see this old nomad looks 10 times better than the common diaspora male. He has perfect child like hairline, smooth free complexion, Great facial structure with high prominent cheek bones and proper jawline.
-Here you have an example of young male nomad. I picked this to highlight the general dental health of the regular Reer badiyoo which is straight white well made teeth free of decay in contrast to the regular city dwellers who have buckteeth ,gap teeth,stained caramel teeth riddled with decay.
All of this is due the difference in hygienes & sanitation,lifestyle and nutrition.
You can also test this out for yourself by visiting Somalis who have grown up in the countryside as nomads. You will see the striking physical difference i pointed out.
Also i came up to this conclusion after reading the book called ''Nutrition and physical degeneration''
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5443 ... generation. Which is a great book that highlights the phenomena you have witnessed amongst Somalis. This book documents several pre-modern groups that lived on natural organic foods on how their health and physique degenerated after being exposed to a modern diet based on flour and sugar(Processed food).
The funny part behind all of this is that 3-4 decades back in time, we used to be stereotyped for our well made teeth, our height, our smooth skin, great bone structure and our thick head of hair. Now we are identified for the exact opposite which is very telling. This is also part of the reason why today we are both stereotyped as ugly and beautiful people at the same time. One thing is for certain Barkhad Abdi isn't an unfortunate ugly accident he is a creation of the modern Somali diet.
The hopeful part is that with a correct anti-inflammatory diet you can reverse your hair loss and skin issues within months, and with conscious correct dieting we can correct the appearance of the upcoming generations after ,so we can pass on to them the best of genetics and we can facilitate to the betterment of their growth and development.
The loopside of it all is that nothing can be done for the Somalis who got screwed by their unhealthy parents who passed on bad genes and for Somalis who went through poor childhood and adolescent development due to the low caloric pasta and rice diet. No luck for them as they are stuck with their ugly face full of deformities. Just make sure your children and grand children don't suffer the same faith by rejecting shitty dietary habits and by eating healthy proteins& fat and organic food.
great post!
I love how easy it is to get you riled up, you really do have major issues. You should do something about that, rather than worrying about the diets of Faaraxs.
