It was observed that depression, anxiety and other symptoms improved more in women than in men. Men experienced virtually no change in several symptoms and were not as committed to group therapy as women.

It is thought that men may prefer working with a more "remote" therapist in an interpretive, problem-solving approach, which could be difficult in group therapy where intimate disclosure and close relationships are central.

An increased cardiovascular and exercise capacity during severe hypoxia (oxygen shortage) was observed.

Viagra dilates blood vessels allowing more blood to be pumped through the lungs, helping to alleviate pulmonary hypertension caused by a lack of oxygen.

Usually passed in urine, uric acid is produced from the breakdown of nitrogen compounds. Uric acid is found in high levels in the joints of gout sufferers.

The study suggests that uric acid may be a "danger signal" released by damaged cells, triggering inflammation and a strong immune response.

Men with high uric acid levels had a 2.5 times greater risk of death from cardiovascular disease and 1.7 times greater risk of death from other causes. Adjustments for other health factors did not change the degree of increased risk.

It was hypothesised that smokers develop emphysema because of a vitamin A deficiency.

Increasing dietary vitamin A effectively reduces the risk of emphysema. Long-lived smokers may have their diet to thank.

Higher consumption of green tea or oolong tea lowered the risk by 65 percent. These varieties of tea can contain around 4,000 compounds like flavonoids which help protect against stroke and heart disease. High blood pressure can lead to stroke and heart disease.]]> no@spam.com (mens health) Fri, 18 Jan 2008 00:00:00 CST http://www.man-health-magazine-online.com/blogs/26/Drinking-Green-Tea-Lowers-Blood-Pressure.html http://www.man-health-magazine-online.com/blogs/25/Eat-Fat-with-Salad-to-Absorb-Antioxidants.html
Because carotenoids are fat soluble they cannot be absorbed without fats being present. A study found that when eating salads without fat, virtually no absorption of alpha-carotene, beta-carotene or lycopene takes place. But when salads were eaten with reduced-fat or regular dressing, carotenoid levels went up substantially.

As well as dressing, eating small amounts of avocado or cheese with uncooked vegetables may help carotenoid absorption.]]> no@spam.com (mens health) Tue, 15 Jan 2008 00:00:00 CST http://www.man-health-magazine-online.com/blogs/25/Eat-Fat-with-Salad-to-Absorb-Antioxidants.html http://www.man-health-magazine-online.com/blogs/24/Health-Benefits-of-Eating-Fish.html
Dietary fish has also been shown to protect against ischemic stroke (stroke caused by blockage of blood supply to brain).

Broiled or baked fish intake increases blood levels of beneficial omega-3 essential fatty acid, but fried fish does not. Fish oil supplements may not provide the same benefits because there could be other unknown components of fish also involved.

Sports drinks with added electrolytes and carbohydrates are effective for long workouts. The study showed that a whey protein enhanced sports drink improved an athlete's endurance by about 11 percent more than a protein-free sports drink.

Less exercise-induced muscle stress was also observed when using the protein enhanced drink. Using such a protein sports drink may help repair muscle fibres and you may feel less sore after a heavy workout.

Currently men are warned that they may suffer reduced erectile function, orgasmic function, sexual desire, intercourse satisfaction, and overall sexual satisfaction when taking Propecia, which is a male hormone blocker.

However, the new study reported no sexual side effects, compared to the established 4.4 percent of men expected to experience sexual side effects using Propecia.

So, the sexual side effects of Prpoecia may actually much less common than reported in previous clinical trials.
