[Deactivated]

The least talked about topic in the laundry list of dhibaatos will be soon come to light in 10 years.

Males Dhibaato:
High dependency on Smoking
Alchohol
Khat
Lack of exercise
Lack of knowledge in health foods.


Currently I have the body of a typical Saudi male.


What do you guys think of the state of health with our brothers in the diaspora if things don't change?

I think a lot of Somali males are opening their eyes to their health, they are realizing that pre mature balding, being skinny, lack of endurance is not the way of life.

Hopefully it gets better for the Somali males in the west, I guess all those years of Somali Females calling the Faaraxs Feminine has gotten to them finally :siilaanyolaugh:

Where in Canada are you? And how old are you if you don't mind me asking?

I think the 80s generation are the power smokers

I think a lack of exercise is by far the most prevalent out of the lot of them.
Countless faraxs are skinny and out of shape, including me
This is why I have started working out

It’s definitely improving. Nowhere near the levels of other ethnic groups but starting to see an emergence of a conscious Somali fitness and health community. Before fitness we should focus solely on health as the Somali diet is a highway to heart disease, obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, premature balding, osteoporosis and poor physical capabilities. We need a major renewal of the Somali diet; it’s too low on calories, low on fat, low on protein and high in refined sugars (Devastating) and wheat (Maldevelopment 101).

For longevity purposes we can learn a lot from East Asians especially Japanese, Koreans, Taiwanese and Chinese(Huge proponent of Traditional Chinese medicine)

Somali life expectancy in the West is around 65.

You barely see a 70 or 80 year old Somali in the West. Very few Somalis actually go back home to retire so you can't say they elder Somalis went back (Somalis say they will go back but it's something they say for the sake of small talk).

Many Hoyos and kitchens can cook Somali tasting food without the hilib and salid.

The Mediterranean diet is excellent as well.

Do your kelyaha stick out too?

How can you retire if you can't make it back for emergency medical services.

The 80s babies are falling apart in Ottawa.

Have you seen any Somalis jogging?

Moe Farah should have inspired a few to come out from a dense Somali population like Ottawa.

Somali fathers only take health advice death by death. If a friend dies from liver failure, they start to take liver supplements. If a friend gets glaucoma, they walk around with a carrot.
