Health News 4 Men

The May 2009 Health Gazette ezine edition has been published on schedule today, May first. Subscribers will find it in their inbox and can also read it online in the subscriber-only archive.

This month's edition provides a response to the hype surrounding the so-called swine flu. We have not seen so much media hype since the so-called bird flu marketing exercise of 2005. The main article, Swine Flu: Avoid the Hype, encourages calm in the face of this episode and provides a more rational perspective than the mainstream media and many health authorities which seem to be dancing to the hype pedlars' tune. Read the article to learn what is an appropriate response.

Once again the authors of a research report have revealed more about their own shortcomings than about the intended focus of the study. One has to wonder how they can be so ignorant. To be fair, part of the problem is the style, tone and structure -- the very literacy -- of such reports, which encourages or expects (at least subconsciously) the kind of statements made in the report that I find so revealing about the authors.

Still, this doesn't excuse them. Unless they live totally within their ivory towers (the University of California Davis School of Medicine and the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry to be specific) or are exceedingly dull and uninformed there is simply no excuse for their ignorance.

The April 2009 Health Gazette Ezine Edition will be published on time, on April 1st. A copy will be available in the archive for subscribers' convenience.

This month's edition features an article on the natural cure of psoriasis. All manner of treatments are available online for this condition, many promising miraculous cures. Some prescription treatments and other over-the-counter drugs (often in ointments or creams or lotions or baths) are also available. The fact is that none of these individually or in combination can actually cure psoriasis and ultimately they will make the condition -- and your general health -- worse.

If you have tried to lose weight too many times so far, with no success, then probably you are not doing something right. Luckily I found an interesting weight loss test you can do in order to find out if you will be able to lose weight and keep it off for good.

With this test you will find out if your dream for slimmer hips and attractive body may come true with less, more or extra efforts from your side.

Answer honestly to the following questions and give 1 point for every “Yes” and 0 points for every “No” you answer.

Questions:

Q1: Do you exercise regularly?

Q2: Do you know your calorie intake from the foods you eat every day?

Q3: Do you eat often but small portions (5 – 6 times a day)?

Q4: Do you weigh yourself at least once a week?

Q5: Do you always have at hand (mostly at home) diet foods like fruits, vegetables, curds, boiled meat, diet cheese?

Q6: Do you resist the temptation when you are not hungry but someone tempts you to try it anyway?

Q7: DO you keep sweets and other tempting snacks for long at your home or they are being eaten in no time?

Q8: Do you leave some portion of your meal if you are already full?

Q9: Do you dream from time to time for food - some favorite meal of yours?

Q10: How do you feel about yourself at your current diet regime – do you like yourself, do you feel good?

Results:

You have less than 3 points:
You must change your lifestyle generally, otherwise you will never lose weight.

You have 4 to 6 points:
You are close to achieving you goal to lose the excess pounds, all you need to do is to emphasize a little bit more on exercises or sports, and be stricter about the foods you eat. Include more healthier foods and losing weight will be easier.

You have 7 to 10 points:
You have strong will and it’ll help you achieve your goals no matter what. Losing weight is not a problem for you, because you are already determined to shed those excess pounds and this time keep them off for good.
