Researchers at Appalachian State University in North Carolina have found that the bioflavonoid quercetin, found in grapes, red wine, apples and broccoli among others, can effectively reduce susceptibility to viral infections. The study was funded by the US Department of Defense, which has been searching for ways to maintain the immune system of troops undergoing the physical and cognitive stresses of combat. We suggest keeping this study in mind, particularly when it comes to fighting off the flu and other viral pathogens. In the study, 20 cyclists took 1,000 mg of quercetin a day for five weeks and a control group of 20 cyclists took a placebo. Three weeks into the study, the athletes rode a bicycle three hours a day to the point of exhaustion. Extreme exercise weakens the immune system and increases an individual’s susceptibility to infection. While 45 percent of the cyclists taking the placebo developed an illness following the exercise, only 5 percent of those on the quercetin experienced any illness. There were no side effects from taking the quercetin.

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.

One of the best books ever written for laymen on human health and nutrition was How to Live Longer and Feel Better by Linus Pauling. The book reflects his scientific authority and presents clearly stated views on a wide variety of health and nutrition issues that face us all as we grow older. Some of it may be a little out-of-date but the book still resonates with the wisdom of a great scientist who was dedicated to bettering the human condition and who was unafraid of making enemies in high places. These include, the medical establishment, the pharmaceutical industry, or government agencies, especially the FDA that he thought were too rigid in their thinking. It gave Dr. Pauling a platform from which to air his opinions of the federal government’s record in providing nutritional information to the public. As you would imgine, these opinions did not make the government happy by any stretch of the imagination. Here are a couple of passages from the book that give you a good idea of what he thought of the feds.

If you could eat foods that were tasty, nutritious and helped reduce your risk of disease, what more could you want? Getting older doesn't have to mean getting weaker but it often happens as we age. For example, go just one week without enough protein and your muscles could be on the path to rapid aging. Eating foods from a variety of sources can make you younger. And we all know that exercise is the best way to keep muscles in tip-top shape and fight the natural decline in strength that comes with aging. But what you eat matters, too. That’s what a recent study of older men and women revealed. Those who went for a week without adequate protein started to show early signs of muscle deterioration.

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.

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.
