Afrikaness, Melanin & Aging...The double edge sword


Aging is natural occurrence that happens to everyone who is blessed to live 
long enough to experience it.

There are natural steps we can all take to help us move through the aging 
process gracefully. Meaning, without so many of the ailments that plague 
many of us as we stroll down the sometimes bumpy path known as… Life..

First, let us come to the conclusion that we need try to maintain the best 
possible health that we can. This revelation is a central starting point 
which can elevate us towards a healthier diet, more exercise and adequate 
rest. (“Yes Brothers and Sisters we must actually lay down sometime�) 
This, with the blessing of the Creator, can help us preserve our mental & 
physical selves allowing us precious quality time as we gradually learn to 
elevate further towards the spiritual center we all possess.

Those of us of the “darker hue� have been blessed with a very special set of 
attributes which assist us in the “anti aging process� that many have not 
as of yet come to fully understand.. One of those attribute is called 
“Melanin�.

Our bodies contain melanin head to toe, inside and outside. Melanin is the 
substance which is responsible for our very existence. It is a healer, an 
energy absorber and an organizer of major body functions. It is now 
universally accepted that melanin is a total system unto itself.

That's right Afrikan People..........YOU'RE SPECIAL!

Without a doubt, melanin is viewed as a "giver of life." It is present in 
both the sperm and egg and it supervises the growth of developing fetus. The 
brain and spinal cord of every person was formed from melanated cells within 
the growing embryo.

Every person on earth has varying amounts of melanin in their body. The key 
is, some people have more than others. In the body of Afrikans, where ever 
we may be found, melanin is present in more sites and in greater 
concentration than in any other ethnic group on earth.

The more melanin there is in the skin, the darker it is and the less it ages 
from sunlight exposure. Scientifically speaking, black skin is 100 percent 
more efficient in screening out harmful ultraviolet light than white skin.

Melanin also acts as a natural defense mechanism in that it attaches to 
foreign substances in the body and helps to remove them.

The problem is that melanin also acts as a double edge sword in that because 
of consistent improper diet, drug use, alcohol, and other such toxicity 
in our environments, the chemical melanin, which would normally help to 
exit harmful synthetics from the body systems, instead begins to accept 
these toxic substances as “ok� and literally begin to hold them in rather 
than the opposite.

This can be and is a deadly situation for the son’s and daughter’s of 
Afrika. This reality tremendously elevates the deterioration and aging 
process of the body, the youthful functioning of the brain and all related 
activity. And it also considerably stagnates that universal energy we refer 
to as the Spirit..
