Color can go a long way in complementing the beauty of natural African-American hair. A rinse, which is also referred to as semi or demi-permanent color, is often the recommended choice for naturalistas. It provides a gentler alternative to permanent color, yet is still a viable option for adding dimension and character to the hair's overall look.
Protein In The Muscle Building Diet. While the average person may do well to keep their protein intake to less than 1/2 gram per pound of bodyweight a day, with the stress you will be putting on your body with your weight training, you should be looking for at least one gram per pound.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics reports that men need 1.4 to 1.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight each day to build muscle mass. This means active men trying to build muscle should consume 0.64 to 0.82 grams of protein per pound of body weight each day. For example, a 160-pound man trying to increase his lean body mass should consume 102 to 131 grams of protein every day, and regularly participate in strength-building resistance exercises. Active men who regularly participate in endurance training have increased protein needs.
