By Amanda Gardner

What’s good for your body is good for your brain. That means eating a balanced diet with lots of fruits and veggies and not much sugar, saturated fat or alcohol, as well as getting enough exercise and sleeping about eight hours a night. But evidence is accumulating that a whole host of other activities can help keep our brains young even as we advance in chronological age. There is no one magic activity that you need to take on, but trying a handful of the following will help.

Debunking The Myth of Black Homophobia

Debunking The Myth of Black Homophobia

Screenshot 2015-02-01 06.41.36

In a thoughtful essay penned for Complex, writer Michael Arceneaux takes to task the problematic (and increasingly disproven) idea of the black community as the “boogeyman of homophobia.”

“Most of the people who have given me grief about my sexuality have been black like me, though I’ve been around mostly black people my entire life,” he writes. “It’s more about geographic and socioeconomic status, not inherent biases.”

“To that end, my individual experiences do not speak for the collective. It’s dangerous to use anecdotes to diagnosis a community of its purported ills. Never forget that there is a world beyond yours.”

Fox’s new musical drama ‘Empire’ is doing work to showcase the complex relationships that exist between black parents and their queer children, Arceneaux writes. Certain aspects of the show’s plot, however, reinforce stereotypical notions of a homogenous anti-gay bias that have come to dominate many gay peoples’ conceptualization of black people.

Arceneaux points in particular to the gay community’s impulsive reflex to blame the black community for supporting anti-gay legislation while simultaneously ignoring instances where black voters supported legal pushes for equality.

That same flawed logic of ignoring truths borne out of statistical analysis can be connected to the sexual stigmatization of black and Latino men, who are often singled out in discussions of HIV transmission rates. Cultural intolerance is typically presented as the reason as to why populations of poor, queer men of color are at particular risk for HIV and.

The same is often attributed to trans people of color, who disproportionately experience violence and are at higher risk for murder. In reality these populations suffer not because of culture-wide oppression, but rather because of a fundamental lack of targeting by state-backed health and wellness initiatives.

“Blacks are not the X-Men of anti-gay bigotry. We don’t have some superior level of homophobia compared to other groups…I’m open to talking about homophobia within the black community, but the conversation will go no where if it is prefaced with the notion that black folks are more homophobic than everyone else.”

These Sexy NFL Studs Make Us Wanna Go Deep

These Sexy NFL Studs Make Us Wanna Go Deep

Superbowl Sunday is officially upon us. Time to break out the beer and gourmet nachos and prepare get serious when Katy Perry belts it out during the halftime show. After Queen Madonna in 2012, Beyonce in 2013, and Bruno Mars in 2014, Ms. Perry has big shoes to fill. Is she up for the challenge? We’ll see.

Then, of course, there’s the football game. (Oh yeah, that.) This year’s main event will be a standoff between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks. We don’t know nothin’ about either team but that’s what Instagram is for. To help get you get in spirit, we’ve done a roundup of some of the hottest NFL stars today. We included a lot of players who never made it to the Super Bowl because in our eyes, well, they appeal to our eyes. In fact, only one made it this year, QT Tom Brady (he plays for the patriots.)

Of course, with so much talent and so much sexiness, our list of faves is constantly changing. Please suggest your own in comments.

Colin Kaepernick

The San Francisco 49er’s quarterback captured our attention (and our hearts) when he posed completely naked for ESPN’s Body Issue in 2013 and we haven’t looked away since.

Arron Rodgers

The Green Bay Packers’ quarterback, no stranger to gay rumors, reminds us of sexy love child of Jake Gyllenhaal Colin Farrell.

Victor Cruz

How can you not find the New York Giants’ wide receiver cute? He’s got those dreamy eyes, that adorable gap between his front teeth, and he’s always smiling. (And let’s not forget that he knows how to rock a sombrero.)

Drew Brees

Okay, okay. So he may not be conventionally attractive, but the New Orleans Saints’ quarterback is a great family man and a real class act and he boasts a huge fan following, so we’re including him on our list.

Tom Brady

The 6’4, 225-pound All-American New England Patriots’ quarterback knows just how to get our man juices flowing as demonstrated by this shot from his GQ photo spread. Plus, people say he can throw.

Eli Manning

There’s something kind of adorkable about 34-year-old Eli Manning. And we’re not the only ones who feel this way. There’s an entire Tumblr page called Eli Manning is Sexy dedicated exclusively to celebrating the New York Giants’ quarterback.

Reggie-Bush

Reggie Bush

The 6’0, 203-pound Detroit Lions’ running back is so darn cute we almost forgive him for dating Kim Kardashian.

Kenny Vacarro

Last, but certainly not least, is Kenny Vacarro. Between his hot, tatted up body, boyish face, and mad playing skills on the field, the 23-year-old New Orleans Saints’ safety is the perfect recipe for delicious.
