The prostate is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system; it produces liquid that moves sperm. It is located between the rectum and the pubic bone, beneath the bladder. It is common for the prostate gland to become enlarged as a man ages. When the condition (prostate cancer) is found early, and if it is located only in the prostate gland, treatment of prostate cancer can be more successful. If the cancer spreads to other areas of the body, treatment may become more difficult.

Fact Remains that….

1. Diet may be a crucial factor in prostate cancer, consuming lots of alcohol, eating high-fat foods and red meats, and not eating enough vegetables and fruits.

2. Weight, physical inactivity: overweight and inactive men have higher rates of prostate cancer.

A lot of people were asking for advice on how to lose weight and I am glad I could help. I hope to get the good feedback soonest. Now is the time for some others who want to add up flesh. Doing this in a healthy way may not be as simple as it may seem, but it is possible and actually now depends on you, because intentionally gaining weight is tricky. However gaining weight with eating pastries, ice cream etc is not the best way. 

 “You are what you eat” is absolutely true! Nutrients from food are literally the raw materials your body uses to construct new cells. A junk food-filled diet and lacking nutrients doesn’t give your body much to work with.

Here are a few good gain rules; I would love to share with you.

Natural Nutritional And Fitness Practice For Healing Infertility

Fertility is the ability to contribute to conception while Infertility is the inability to contribute to conception. It is a condition and not likely a disease. Infertility can be primary and secondary:

Primary Infertility: is a situation where someone has not contributed to bearing a child at all.

Secondary Infertility: situation whereby one has contributed to bearing a child before but cannot now.

In men it could as a result of low sperm count, diabetes, hormonal imbalance while in women it could be as a result of hormonal problems, damage to the ovaries, premature menopause, follicle problems ( like infection, Abdominal Diseases  etc). The rate at which infertility problems are increasing by the day is so disturbing, nutrition and fitness has so much effect on fertility, research suggests that couples nutritional and fitness habits before conception has a lot of influence on the baby’s well being, so ensure adequate fitness and nutrition for a good result. A healthy diet helps boost energy levels, support mental health and helps maintain a healthy weight. 

The truth is that certain food can help you get pregnant. Note that a diet rich in dairy products or carbohydrates may make it harder to get pregnant, women should eat less trans fats and sugar from carbohydrates, consume more protein from vegetables than from animals, eat more fiber and iron, take multivitamins, maintain a body mass index (BMI), by exercising for longer periods of time each day, and surprisingly, consumed more high-fat dairy products and less low-fat dairy products.

While all nutrients are important for health, there are some that have been specifically shown to have a direct impact on fertility. Below is a list of the nutrients, their functions and the food you can find them in.

Fighting Chronic Diseases!!

What could be the problem? There are lots of chronic diseases around and your body is the only one that can fight them for you, the question is can our bodies still fight and win the battle against this deadly disease, when they are totally weak? Have you ever wondered what an amazing feeling of wellness you can achieve if you nourish your body properly? Food is a simple word, but feeding your body is a complex process. 

Your body needs a consistent amount of whole food nutrients to perform the numerous biological activities occurring every second. Early in human history, food was consumed for the most part, in its natural nutrients-rich state. However, over the last fifty years much of that has changed as whole foods are replaced with highly processed foods stripped of their diverse bioactive nutrients. And the result is lots of chronic disease flying around. (The relationship between food and life, health and disease is the science of nutrition).

3 Simple Steps To Boost Low Sexual Drive- AKA LIBIDO

Image: Scienceofmarriage.com

Most people feel so embarrassed and even reluctant discussing issues of Libido, well I am bringing it on the table to be discussed. Libido is a person's sex drive and the occasional drop in your sex drive is perfectly normal, especially with the passage of years. Losing interest in sex may not be a common occurrence for men as it is for women. It affects about 15% to 16% of men and at least double the amount for women. "But when men lose interest in sex it scares them more than women -- their masculinity is so linked to their sexuality that it is very threatening," says Esther Perel, a couples therapist in New York city and author of Mating in Captivity.

5 Things You MUST NEVER DO To Lose Weight

1. All Forms of Purging can be dangerous to your health: Eating and drinking healthfully is a much safer weight loss approach. Acid in the stomach is extremely strong and is needed to prepare food for digestion and absorption. The more you purge, the more you get rid of it. This can increase risk for certain cancers, tooth decay, and even the excess fluid loss can cause serious dehydration.

2. Extreme Exercising: Extreme exercise can cause grave problems (severe wear and tear), increases the risk for injury, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalance; and psychologically turns exercise into punishment for eating.

3. Do not Starve, Fast, or feed on very Low-Calorie Diets to lose weight: Unless medically supervised, don’t cut calories below 1,200 per day. Severely slashing calories may lead to weight loss, but the lost weight includes precious muscle and lowers metabolism. Otherwise, your body will struggle to get enough nutrients to fuel your activities and satisfy your hunger. Keep in mind that when you lose weight quickly, you may be at risk to pack it back on with more fat and less muscle -- especially if you're over 45.

12 Easy Ways To Lose Weight with little exercise and dieting

-Eating more fruits and vegetables: Making fruits and vegetables a large part of your meal would not only help your body fight chronic diseases but will aid weight lose. Especially fiber and water as they help fill you up.

-Eat more at home, using smaller dishes: Eat home cooked meals at least five days a week, most fast foods are quick meals and are notoriously fattening and as a result, one can gain more weight. Using smaller dishes to automatically eat less, most people serve more and eat more food with larger dishes.

-Chew longer with the right food portions: Chewing your food longer, will give support to slow eating. The slower you eat the less food you consume. When you eat in a hurry, your stomach doesn't have time to tell your brain it's full. One of the habits of slim people is that they stick with modest food portions at every meal, five days a week or more. Make it a habit, starting with snacks.

-The more soup, the less weight: Adding just soup to your daily meal, will help you fill up on lower calories. Instead of the usual soup and Semo, Amala, Eba etc, just take only the Soup with low sodium.
