Participants In Taibu Community Centre’s “Black Men’s Health Challenge”
The percentage of black men in poor health outnumbers that of their peers in other ethnic backgrounds. There is a high prevalence of obesity, hypertension, and diabetes among black men in Ontario. These are preventable chronic conditions that can be addressed through regular physical activity and healthier eating habits.
The goal of the Black Men’s Health Challenge was to provide a culturally specific lifestyle intervention program to help black men engage in behaviors necessary to address what is or can over time become debilitating diseases.
The program was held once a week for two hours over a nine week period.
The first hour of each session had a nutritionist, dietician, doctor or specialist provide nutrition or healthy lifestyle information that is culturally appropriate.
The second hour of each session had the men participate in physical activity session with a personal trainer in a gym setting. The structure of the program waa for the men to work both independently, in partners and as a group.
Some of the topics that were discussed were: diabetes prevention, communication, dealing with relationships, sleep apnea, healthy eating, healthy meal planning, high blood pressure and prostate/sexual Health.
