Can Fruit Protect Against Prostate Cancer?
Prostate cancer is one of the greatest health issues that elderly men face. The prostate gland is an exocrine gland found in the male reproductive system. It is situated right under the bladder, in front of the rectum. Exocrine glands produce secretions that ultimately end up outside of the body. The tube that starts at... CONTINUE READING→
Could You Be Twice the Man You Think You Are?
I recently did a post on how parents of overweight and obese children routinely underestimate just how overweight their kids are. A recent study from Ireland has found that overweight adults are at least as clueless (or in denial) about their own weight. And they get less and less accurate over time. Over the course...

Soak Up The Sun To Keep Away Diabetes
As if winter blues weren’t reason enough to seek out the sun, it appears that there is one more excuse to take that beach vacation you’ve been contemplating for a while.

Too Much of a Good Thing, Part II: Bald Men Are More Likely to Succeed?
Despite all the talk about baldness and prostate cancer going gene in gene, not all the news is bad. In fact, being bald may give men some distinct advantages.
Exercise Reduces Prostate Cancer For Some
First, there is good news and then there is some bad news. A recent study shows that exercise does reduce the risk of prostate cancer, but in older, white men.

Over the past decade, women who’ve received a dreaded diagnosis of breast cancer, have tended to choose mastectomy (removal of the breast)—even in the case of small or early-stage cancers.

Too Much of a Good Thing, Part 1: Testosterone, Prostate Cancer, and Baldness
Men whose hairlines have drastically receded early in life have a significantly higher risk of developing prostate cancer later on. But before you jump to any conclusions, understand that this is one of those causation-vs.-correlation things. In other words, baldness doesn’t cause prostate cancer and prostate cancer doesn’t cause baldness. But it appears that the... CONTINUE READING→

Be Fulfilled: Sexually And Sensually
Most of us assign a high priority to sexual/sensual fulfillment, but few of us attain it. From my personal and professional vantage points, it seems the most important keys are self acceptance, compassion for our partners, free expression, and good communication skills. If we give to ourselves, and extend to our partners from this presence... CONTINUE READING→
Here’s Something That Will Really Fry Your Bacon
There’s been a lot of news lately about the role fruits and vegetables (and let’s not forget chocolate) play in reducing health risks. We also did a story about how hot dogs and other nitrite-containing meats increase those same risk. Well, now we can add fried foods to the list of don’t-eats. Researchers at the... CONTINUE READING→
