In order to live a long as well as a happy life you should include high fiber fruits in your diet. And most of them would also agree in eating fruits which are rich in fiber. But many of them still don't have enough knowledge of exactly how they should add fruits with high fiber in their diets. Many health agencies are trying to educate the people by running different
by Donald Saunders Prostate problems will affect ninety percent of all men by the time the reach the age of eighty and in all too many cases the problem will be that of prostate cancer. But just what is the prostate gland and what does it mean to be diagnosed with prostate cancer? Here we look at the ten questions which are most often asked by men who encount
by Donald Saunders Over the years there has been considerable debate about prostate cancer and the subject of prostate cancer prevention in particular remains somewhat controversial. Although, as with many cancers, men do not themselves cause the onset of prostate cancer, there are certainly a number of risk factors for developing the disease and there i
by Adrian Jones Despite the precautions taken to give the radiotherapy as accurately as possible there will always be some side effects associated with radiotherapy to the prostate gland even with "best treatment". This is partly because to reach the prostate gland from the outside the X-rays have to pass through normal tissues (bladder, bowel, skin) and
by Joann Cheong Rates of prostate cancer vary widely across the world. It is least common in South and East Asia, more common in Europe, though the rates vary widely between countries, and most common in the United States. According to the American Cancer Society, prostate cancer is least common among Asian men and most common among black men with figures for
Men with low PSA (prostate specific antigen) levels on screening tests can still have prostate cancer, according to a study* released today by scientists from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health, and the Southwest Oncology Group, an NCI-funded network of researchers. In this study, prostate cancers were detected by biops
For some peculiar reason, whenever I address a health issue and my male friends are present, the discussion is quickly redirected to another subject as they try to avoid the discussion. I recently encountered the same phenomenon and one of my friends responded that men are feeling guilty of making mistakes when it comes to their health. From forgetting to eat the
While millions of people are slowly dying of hunger, modern societies have to face new challenges directly linked to our way of life. Bad nutritional habits, stress, junk food and other factors contribute day after day to a dramatic explosion of obesity. But how can the obesity of today, combined with an aging population have a direct impact on the next chil
Drug development has produced many tales of important pharmaceuticals that originate in plants. Now scientists at the Indiana University School of Medicine want to write another, hoping to turn an extract from feverfew--an herb traditionally used as a treatment for migraine headaches--into a new tool to fight cancer. The compound, parthenolide, may
A new American Cancer Society report says that men with diabetes seem to have a reduced risk of developing prostate cancer. The society's study tracked 72,000 men from 1992 to 2002 and found that men diagnosed with type 2 diabetes were less likely to also be diagnosed later with prostate cancer. Scientists say a drop in insulin levels among diabetes patients may be ke
If sex is the sweet part of a relationship, then orgasm has to be all that delightful chocolate they put in my favorite sweet things. Jokes aside, sex can be very accurately described as the glue that holds together the other aspects of a relationship between two people. And orgasm is the goal of every hot sex session. The pleasure that makes the tight worlds of intim
After prostate cancer surgery, obese men are more likely than men with normal weight to have high levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA), a marker for cancer recurrence, according to a study led by Johns Hopkins researchers. "Our results show that moderately and severely obese men were at an increased risk for high PSA levels after surgery and the
The first longitudinal study of male orgasmic quality following radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP) found that some men experience decreased orgasmic quality. Overall, orgasmic quality improved with increasing length of follow up. It has been known that RRP and other surgical procedures for the treatment of prostate cancer can negatively impact sexual function, but
New research on genes linked to hereditary prostate cancer helps scientists better understand how prostate cancer grows. Tests to find abnormal prostate cancer genes could also help tell which men are at high risk. They could then be tested more often. Further research could provide answers about the chemical changes that lead to prostate
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers to be diagnosed in men. Unlike many other cancers, prostate cancer often grows very slowly and is difficult to detect for many years. A man with this disease may not exhibit any prostate cancer symptoms for some time. Many men pass off prostate cancer symptoms as just signs of getting older. Aging men do exper
Science Daily — A treatment mainstay for prostate cancer puts men at increased risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease, according to a large observational study published in the 2006, Sept. 20 Journal of Clinical Oncology. "Men with prostate cancer have high five-year survival rates, but they also have higher rates of non-cancer mortality than healthy me
Men over 50 years of age with high blood levels of testosterone have an increased risk of prostate cancer, according to a study by researchers at Johns Hopkins and the National Institute on Aging. The finding throws some doubt on the safety of testosterone replacement therapy, the investigators say. The researchers measured several forms of testosterone in a

Nation-wide statistics indicate that while some types of cancer are occurring less frequently, the rates of others are still surging upward. According to a new study published in Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, incidence of skin cancer is climbing in both sexes - more men are facing prostate cancer, while more women are diagnosed with breast cancer. Cancer
The prostate gland can attribute to premature ejaculation by its enlargement. Because the prostate stores and produces 95% of what comes out of you during ejaculation, it has a lot to say about when you actually do come, by means of the sympathetic nerves. When dealing with the prostate, you may have heard it referred to as “the Male G-Spot”. Perhaps this is because t
Type II diabetes will not lead to more aggressive prostate cancer, but it could lead to a lower long-term survival rate. New research from the Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia contradicts previous findings about prostate cancer and diabetes. Previous studies revealed insulin may make prostate cancer cells grow more aggressively. Diabetes is a condition
Enlarged prostate can be treated successfully by the herb saw palmetto. When enlarged prostate symptoms develop talk to your Doctor about maintaining your prostate health with the addition of the saw palmetto herb. Europe has been using Saw Palmetto to promote prostate health for years. Enlarged prostate or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and the herb saw
by Eric Morris The dictionary defines birth control as "a regimen of one or more actions, devices, or medications followed in order to deliberately prevent or reduce the likelihood of a woman becoming pregnant." Birth control has become imperative in today's world, due to the global rise in population, need for family planning and also to safeguard onese
A study conducted by researchers at the American Cancer Society, published in the 2005 January 15 issue of the American Journal of Epidemiology, has concluded that men with type 2 diabetes were less likely to develop prostate cancer than men without diabetes. Results of the study, using data from some 72,000 men, indicated that the risk of prostate cancer was linked t
