Deficiency in the male sex hormone, testosterone, has been getting a lot of attention recently. While most of us are aware of the decrease in sex hormones that women experience (menopause), most people are unaware that a similar phenomenon called andropause can occur in men. This testosterone deficiency can lead to a number of symptoms, including poor mood, loss of stamina, decreased muscle mass and decreased libido. The problem is it occurs so slowly that it often goes unrecognized. In fact, testosterone levels may start to decrease in a man's mid 30's, and by age 80, they may be reduced by 80%. While the associated symptoms are a problem, the bigger issue may be increased mortality related to the low testosterone levels.

Virtually every living thing, from single-celled amoebas to humans, produces melatonin—and for good reason. This hormone has two essential functions: It governs the sleep cycle and the biological rhythms associated with light and darkness, and it acts as an exceptionally powerful antioxidant that is particularly protective of DNA. In humans, melatonin is synthesized in the pineal gland, located front and center in the brain. This hormone is most intimately involved with sleep. Darkness signals its gradual release, and as levels build up, you begin to feel drowsy. Production peaks during the middle of the night and then begins to fall, tapering off as the sun rises. Problem is, sunset no longer means darkness as it did for most of human history. These days, as soon as night falls we turn on the lights, and we don’t turn them off until we go to bed. Bright lights dramatically reduce melatonin output, and this not only has detrimental effects on sleep—witness our epidemic of sleep disorders and the $4.5 billion we spend a year on sleeping pills—but it also increases risk of cancer and other serious health problems. Fortunately, you don’t have to wander around in the dark, go to bed at dusk, or take sleeping pills to get your melatonin cycle back on track and dramatically improve your sleep and overall health.

First of all let's clear something up. Flu shots aren’t very effective. Last year the Cochrane Collaboration, a well-respected nonprofit organization that provides up-to-date, accurate reviews of various therapies, evaluated the efficacy of influenza vaccines. After looking at hundreds of clinical trials involving hundreds of thousands of study subjects, the research team came up with some unsettling conclusions. First, they found that the majority of the studies, including those the government bases its recommendations on, were flawed. Second, they concluded that flu shots just don’t work very well. For people over age 65 living in nursing homes, the vaccine was fairly effective in protecting against flu complications such as pneumonia. However, for people over age 65 living on their own, the effects were negligible. Healthy younger adults were afforded some protection by the flu vaccine, but only when it matched the actual flu strains going around. But because experts can make only an educated guess as to which strains will appear, ensuring a match is, at best, a hit-and-miss proposition. When they don’t match, as is often the case, protection is minimal. As for overall benefits, getting a flu shot was found to lower the number of days of work missed in this group by less than a day. Epidemiologist Tom Jefferson, who coordinated the review, summed it up as follows: “There is a big gap between policies promoting annual influenza vaccinations for most children and adults, and supporting scientific evidence.â€

Cosmetic surgery was once the domain of Hollywood starlets and Park Avenue socialites, but now American businessmen are going under the knife to fend off advancing age and competition from younger peers. As boomers age, more American businessmen opt for cosmetic surgery to fend off competition. Women still account for most of the patients getting cosmetic tune-ups, but more men are embracing the idea. However, changing attitudes, an aging work force and TV shows like "Dr. 90210" and "Nip/Tuck" have demystified plastic surgery for many men. In fact since 2002, cosmetic procedures among men have increased at a faster pace than among women. Surgical and nonsurgical work for men jumped 57 percent between 2002 and 2006, compared to 9 percent for women, according to the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Many men are having cosmetic work done for "business purposes," the academy said.

Most men know that achieving and maintaining an erection is a complex process. It really all comes down to having adequate blood flow in the area. Sexual excitement triggers a slight increase in blood pressure and sends a message through the nervous system to channel blood into the three main arteries of the penis. Blood then begins to fill the sponge-like cylinders.

Balding, hair loss and thinning hair have been sore issues for men throughout time. Recently, medical science has finally identified the main cause of hair loss. Now, it's a known medical fact that hair loss stems from both genetic and hormonal causes. Male pattern hair loss (baldness) is implicated in 95% of hair loss cases. The key is a hormonal byproduct called DHT. The more DHT that gets put into your body, the more your hair follicles become thinner and finer until the hair is permanently lost. Provillus aggressively seeds your scalp to create the optimum environment for new hair growth and healthy hair. It supplies the suitable nutrition to bring dead hair follicles back to life or prevent hair loss from occurring. And Provillus is an all natural supplement so no prescription is necessary.
