    • Red wine protects men against prostate cancer Wednesday May 30, 2007 in: Diet and Exercise Tag(s):

      A new research has discovered that men who drink an average of four to seven glasses of red wine per week are only 52% likely to have prostate cancer compared with those who do not drink red wine at all. This finding is published in the June 2007 issue of Harvard Men's Health Watch. Furthermore, red wine is also found to particularly protect the body against advanced or aggressive cancers.

      The research collected various information about many factors that might influence the risk of prostate cancer in men between ages 40 and 64. One of the factors involved is alcohol consumption. Initially, the results for alcohol consumption are quite similar to the many findings of many studies done previously: There was no relationship between overall consumption and risk of prostate cancer.

      Playboy founder Hugh Hefner is very much to getting plastic surgery. In fact, he is planning to go under the knife soon for a facelift. Now 81, Hefner believes that there is nothing wrong with men wanting to have plastic surgery as he already had a neck lift and teeth implants in the past.

      "I'm thinking of having a little face-lift. There is nothing wrong with plastic surgery. I think it is absolutely fine for men - I have already had teeth implants, and a few years ago I had a neck tuck."

      PC World reports that results of an industry survey reveal that cumulative sales of software, hardware, and accessories amounted to a total of $838.6 million, a 20 percent increase over the April 2006 sales. And Nintendo dominates the hardware realm once more.

    • Botox Becks Friday May 11, 2007 in: Celebrity Plastic Surgery Tag(s):

      Technorati Tags: ,

      It seems that Victoria 'Posh' Beckham has finally convinced football superstar David Beckham to try plastic surgery. The football hero was seen recently to have lesser wrinkles than what he had a few years ago. This is quite surprising since David used to have those lines and now those are like, completely gone. Rumors are now spreading that the sexy Brit sportsman has had Botox and filler injections.

      Friends of the Becks said that the couple has therapists visiting their Madrid home quite often and that they are receiving treatment more than the regular facials and peels.

    • Men and premature deaths Friday May 4, 2007 in: Diet and Exercise Tag(s):

      Technorati Tags:

      It is a general fact that men have shorter life span than women. Dig through some health sites for some explanation about that fact because I am not going to post that here anymore. This is the bad news, and bad news doesn't deserve that much space in this post. Let's focus on the good news, shall we?

      The good news is, the factors that most threaten men's lives, ergo the shorter life span, are largely preventable. Statistics show that nearly 80 percent of male deaths are largely attributed to just ten causes. Knowing these causes and how to avoid them can help a lot to promote healthy living among men which would then in turn, allow them to live longer.

      The Center for Disease Control and Prevention points to heart disease and cancer as the top men-killers of today. Other causes of male deaths include stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, influenza and pneumonia, suicide, kidney disease, Alzheimer's disease and unintentional injuries such as car crashes, poisoning or workplace injuries.
