Kevin samuels died from hypertension

[Henri Christophe]

sedentary lifestyle sitting around for hours

I got a home gym & treadmill directly outside my home office

& I got a standing desk.

Sitting for hours each day is deadly.

fukk around and catch a DVT that travels to your lung and stops your heart.

Nah, I'm refusing to let them off the hook. If seen many people working long hours having to eat out. If youre driving for uber or doing meal delivery, you're burning calories while doing the work and you need energy drinks and food to stay alert.

We shouldn't even be put in that position in the first place. Americans are working longer hours for less pay and are having less time to even think. I'm not okay with that state of affairs and most men shouldn't be either. I'm blessed with a job that gives me a 1hr lunch break and 8hrs a day so I'm able to make some good meals at home when I get home and sleep for at least 5 hrs a night. I can't say the same about my friends who work at 'fulfillment centers' and who have to be on the road making deliveries and drop offs.

There is no reason for men in Canada or Britain to be living better than us. America is the richest country in the world and it needs to use that money to invest in its people like other countries have successfully done.

Last paragraph: America’s riches come from its military might. Evidently that’s always going to gulp the lion share of its spending to keep the country afloat because that’s what enables the country to print excessive dollars without accountability.

Conversely, Britain’s wealth comes from its banking industry and its colonies while Canada’s riches come from its resources.

So, you can’t compare how they prioritise spending.

Last paragraph: America’s riches come from its military might. Evidently that’s always going to gulp the lion share of its resources to keep the country afloat because that’s what enables the country to print excessive dollars without accountability.

Conversely, Britain’s wealth comes from its banking industry and its colonies while Canada’s riches come from its resources.

So, you can’t compare how they prioritise spending.

America has a ton of influence globally and is getting the best deals on other countries resources. Canada's GDP is smaller and they spend it on the shyt that the GOP wants to lie to us and tell us will ruin our country. The money is there. Its always been there. Think about all the money we spent on those wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Think about the money that billionaires got to keep from the bush tax cuts and the Trump tax cuts. What would've happened if that money which is in the trillions went into health care, public transportation and rebates and tax credits for the working class. There has been a concerted effort to gut our existing social support system. Theyve been cutting spending in social programs and privatizing as much shyt as they can and they won't stop.

If someone steals from you, you don't blame yourself for leaving your window open. If youre a man you find out who did it and you get your shyt back. We are being stolen from EVERY DAY. And nikkas wanna act like it's this or that when the culprit is right in front of you. When they think something is important, the people in charge make it happen. When Ukraine needed 40bil, they sent it. When covid was hitting, they cut stimulus checks. When judges were being harassed they passed laws fast as fukk. When nikkas are saying their rent is rising and their wages are being stolen then out come the excuses. Nah fukk THAT.

High blood pressure is a silent killer there's no symptoms that show something is wrong. That's why it's important to monitor your blood pressure and take the necessary steps to keep it normal or bring it down. Getting blood work at least twice a year is important. You can save your life if you know how your body is really functioning. You cant just depend on a scale.

How do nikkas "take it back" like you're championing in this soap box.

Our current system requires men to be thrown into the meat grinder. The amount of work for the amount of pay we get is absolutely criminal. Wage theft is the most underreported and prosecuted crime in the country. In order for this to work, men have to be willing to work themselves to death for far less than what they're worth and be grateful for the opportunity. I hate how the term 'toxic masculinity' has been thrown around because the idea behind toxic masculinity is that there are things that kill men needlessly and make us suffer that we're meant to just shut up and accept or else we're not 'real men' its a bullshyt idea designed to make us grist for the mill.

nikkas dying every day because they can't cook a healthy meal because they're exhausted from 16 hour shifts. nikkas never seeing their kids because they have to be on their feet for 12 hours a day. Dudes getting deployed to go fight in a country that we have no business being in, then being treated like absolute shyt when they come back from service by the same govt. That sent them there. nikkas getting killed in court because of child support payments and alimony, having to take another job to get their basics. Its unsustainable and its not in our best interest.

Lol.

Excuses.

Men far and wide eat like shyt. And on top of eating like shyt, they go to the doctor FARRRRRR less than women. Especially single men because married men are forced by their wives. Single men die sooner than everyone else because they spent most of their lives indulging in drinking, smoking and eating burgers and fries. Meanwhile married men get force fed broccoli and carrots by their wives because women have healthier lifestyle habits then men.

Lifestyle habits are the literal biggest influence on your health. You can come home late after a long shift and make a salad, shyt takes 5 seconds to do. It takes no time to throw some broccoli on the stove. It takes no time to bring a bag of carrots and ranch to work for a snack. But the truth is, y’all don’t want to. Y’all want chips and fries and steaks and burgers. You don’t want salads. You don’t want brussels sprouts. You don’t want “greens” unless it’s swimming in oil with a ham hock in the middle. And that’s the problem.

Anyone who works with both men and women will tell you what their lunches look like. Women love their little balsamic asiago salads with nuts and berries, meanwhile men will go to subway and get the italian special. Everyday. And it’s not just black men. White men are KNOWN to be the top offenders with red meat which causes high LDL cholesterol. But the difference is, white men are often married and so they go to the doctor WAY more than black men. So their diseases get caught very early and are treated. Black men eat like shyt and also do not get checked. That’s the problem.

His story is an old one. Men die before women for two reasons: we ignore warning signs, and we work ourselves to death trying to live up to other peoples expectations.

I've known other people whose fathers and granfathers didn't live to see 65. If youre working hard as hell, allowing women to stress you out, and not sleeping deeply and taking time for yourself, it will catch up to you. Everything comes with a price. He sacrificed his health for his career like many of us do.


Its why I don't buy into the man as breadwinner thing that people hold onto. My father's own health suffered while he tried to hold down the family. The man was almost never home and when he was, he was exhausted. He tried to put on a brave face but I could tell he was hurting inside. We all saw it but he tried to stay quiet and not trouble us.

I'd rather have had a dad who was home than one who had to retire early and go to the hospital multiple times. shyt is traumatic and no man should have to live like that if he has a choice. I absolutely refuse to pair up with a woman who won't work. I'm not trying to be dead before 60 or feel like a burden on my family(whether its actually true or not, you still FEEL like a burden)

Men die before women because they rarely go to the doctor until its too late. Women are more likely to go for regular check ups than men. One of the reasons married men live longer than single men is because their wife is there to make sure he keeps up to date with little things like checkups.

But I mostly get “What shall it profit a man…”

It’s a cliche but very, very true to life saying/Bible verse.

This is only going to fuel the fat biitches argument of,

"See?! Just because you are slim doesn't mean you are healthy."

Its not shocking he had high blood pressure.
I can imagine the bullshyt he had to deal with behind the scenes.

Cheaper access to healthcare is one reason. I know people who wont get checkups because they have to pay out of pocket or cant afford the co-pay

My baby brother is a vegan and in better shape than me. He and my other brother have HBP and take meds. Meanwhile, my systolic @ 48 is the same as it was at 18. Sometimes, it's simply genetics.

Both black men and women can't stand to be in better shape. But saying black men are in worse shape is
