10 Foods to be Included in All Men’s Diet Posted on NOVEMBER 25, 2017 Men are different from women in all kinds of ways — including their nutritional needs. Just as women need particular nutrients during pregnancy or for protection from breast cancer, men need nutrients that can help them maintain muscle mass, prevent prostate cancer, and more. Many foods that tend to be favorites among men are not the best choices for good health. Yet a healthy diet and regular physical activity can help prevent heart disease and cancer, the No. 1 and No. 2 killers for men over 35. They can also enhance performance, from the board room to the bedroom. Christine Gerbstadt, MD, RD, notes that any food that is good for the cardiovascular system is also good for erectile function in men. “Nutrients that are good for the heart improve circulation to all parts of the body, and these same nutrients provide a layer of protection against cancer and other chronic diseases,” says Gerbstadt, a ...

Care for your Pots and Pans

Care for your Pots and Pans Posted Pots and pans are the hardest workers in the kitchen. They are used in cooking the food. When they are not on the stove, they hold the food and later go through a lot of scouring and cleaning. The following are ways you can make these useful utensils serve you better and longer. Before using a pot or pan for the first time after buying it, wash the utensil with hot water, leave to dry and rub the inside with a small amount of cooking oil. This oil maybe vegetable oil, groundnut oil or olive oil. This rubbing of the pot or pan with oil prevents food stains as much as possible. Do not heat a pot or pan when it is empty. Always ensure you have oil or water in the pan before setting it on the stove. Always use the correct burner size for the pot. If the burner is bigger than the pot, this means too much heat for the pot or pan and causes the utensil to have more exterior stains. If the flames are going up the sides of the pot or pan (in th...

Things Guys Think But Won’t Just Say

Things Guys Think But Won’t Just Say “Your family really scares me.”  Either the constant contact, or the gruff father, or the crazy sister… there’s some aspect here that he will never name (you don’t mess with a girl’s family) but it scares the sh*t out of him. “I’m not sure how good I am at that sex thing you seem to enjoy.” Whatever “that thing” may be, however much you’ve encouraged or praised it, he’s still not sure if he’s a pro at it and feels a little self-conscious each time. The female body is an elaborate and wondrous thing. “I’m not 100% where I want to be professionally.”  Who is, really? Even if he’s wildly successful he’ll still have ambition to continue to climb whatever ladder he’s on. The more a man says how amazing he’s doing professionally, the more insecure he usually is about it. “I have a body complex as well.”  He sucks in his gut every time he takes off his shirt and hopes you don’t notice. “I have occasional doubts about us.” ...

Cancer Survivor: Life Afterwards Po Anne, 51, has been  battling cancer  for almost half of her life. Diagnosed at age 28 with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, the real estate broker from Lansdale, Pennsylvania, has been hit with two other cancers since that first one was cured. What has helped her cope with all the turmoil with her sanity intact? The unflagging support of Linda Jacobs, the “angel on my shoulder” who has checked in with Macy regularly to answer questions, see how she’s feeling physically and emotionally, and offer support and the occasional gentle prodding needed to get her through all the tests and follow-up that come with a cancer diagnosis. Jacobs, a nurse practitioner and clinical professor of nursing who directs the development of  cancer survivorship programs  at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania’s Abramson Cancer Center, may have even saved Macy’s life. When the protocol for ongoing surveillance of Hodgkin’s lymphoma survivors c...
