  • Super Foods for Prostate Health
    Prostate cancer is a very scary thought for most men. The idea that every single man, if unencumbered by other diseases, will in his lifetime eventually have either an enlarged prostate or suffer varying degrees of prostate cancer is no secret any more. The difference now is, we've become a nutritionally advanced culture, and we can proactively treat prostate conditions.
  • Chocoholics Rejoice..Chocolate is Healthy?
    I've always considered chocolate to be one of the most decadent, satisfying and unquestionably addictive foods on this earth (along with countless other women, I'm sure). It's been there for me as a pleasure-producing comfort food through rough times, blue moods and trying times on the job. So, how could something that elicits such feelings of bliss be “bad” for me?
  • The Healing Power of Yoga
    For me, yoga was strictly a relaxation exercise, one designed to help stretch my muscles and soothe my busy mind. Little did I realize, I was getting an excellent workout with yoga, combined with all the benefits of a serious cardio workout, as was apparent upon waking up the next day to an invariably sore rump and tummy.
  • Vitamins and Hair Loss : The Nutritional Connection
    Hair loss and balding is not only a huge and increasing problem for men with male pattern baldness, but it is also unfortunately on the rise for women.

    You may have seen the catch phrase "Death begins in the colon" before, and chances are you probably saw it in conjunction with an ad or information for some sort of colon cleansing or colon health system. What are the implications of this profound statement, if any?
  • Breathing and Flexibility Training at Your Desk

    Well, now it seems this "miracle calorie cutting pill" we had all hoped for may be closer to a reality.

  • Depression in Men : Silent Suffering
    The image of the man as the strong, silent type, while a comforting one to many, is probably the biggest reason that men who suffer from depression tend to suffer in silence, never seeking the correct treatment they need to pull themselves out of the emotional doldrums that weigh on their heart and mind, and very likely also do irreversible damage to their physical health.
  • Minimizing Back and Neck Pain at Your Desk
    Back pain and neck pain have definitely earned their reputation as the hallmark pain associated with having a desk job.

  • Living with Asthma : A Personal Story
    My story of living with asthma started when I was about seven years old. Up until that point in my life, I had lived an asthma-free life.

  • Is the Elliptical Machine the Key to Getting "Lean"?
    While I enjoyed the extra muscle mass due to weight training and running, I wanted to find something that would stretch my muscles out, and instead of really working my quads and calves hard and not letting them get that long, lean look, I wanted something that would get me the same cardio workout without bulking me up. I finally found that perfect cardivascular workout that will help me "stretch out" in the elliptical machine.

  • The Lipolysis Fat Reduction Method
    When I initially read the article on a newer fat melting procedure, I thought "Oh boy, here we go again, another gimmick in the world of fat loss". Whenever I hear the words "melt" and "fat" in the same sentence, call me crazy, but I tend to be a bit skeptical because we all know that you cannot melt the fat off or out of your body, no matter how badly we'd all like to at times. Enter Lipolysis, a new fat reduction procedure...
