Dr. Oz's 25 Natural Men's Health Tips

Natural Awakenings magazine Milwaukee edition has a cover article on Dr. Oz' (of Oprah and his own show now fame)  25 Greatest Men's Health Tips. I recommend picking up the magazine which I found at Outpost Natural Foods as I did not find the article on the web site yet, hopefully it will be there, but here is the list sans his exposition on the benefits but with a quick note by me.
  1. Roll on the Floor Laughing - laughing eases stress and reduces blood pressure
  2. Don't Skip Breakfast - specifically fiber means less hunger later
  3. Hit The Sack - get seven hours of sleep
  4. Admire Your Work - snoop your poop
  5. Don't Pamper Your Bad Back - bed rest weakens back so get up
  6. Taste The Colors - eat foods with color, as many different colors
  7. Brushing Is Not Enough - floss
  8. Take A Deep Belly Breath - just one deep breath can calm
  9. Join A Yoga Class - Dr. Oz says: being surrounded by women in spandex is a good reason. I'll take his word
  10. Don't Be an Island - women may live longer than men due to more social networks
  11. Avoid Fad Diets - just lower calories intake by 100 (that's 10 pounds a year)
  12. Be a Smart Patient -second opinions, health journal, ask questions
  13. Lose the Beer Belly - belly size should be less than half your height (so for me at 66" tall my 32-33 inch waist is almost good). Oh and every pt of BMI above 25 is a 3% drop in testosterone - fat is unmanly
  14. Go Green - green tea that is
  15. Sweat Until You're Wet - one hour of hard, sweaty workout a week is all you need
  16. Save Some Money - personal finance is ranked number one stressor
  17. Have as Much Sex as Possible - tell your significant other (SO) Dr. Oz said so.
  18. Know Your Numbers, the Aim Lower - your heart numbers that is
  19. Add Some Weights - 30 min twice a week (okay so that is now 2 hours a week of workout)
  20. Grab Your Nuts - healthful fats and protein
  21. No, Seriously, Grab Your Nuts - or have your SO check them for you - catch testicular cancer early
  22. Hit the Dance Floor - mental and physical activity and may help #17
  23. Do Your Penis a Favor - if you burn 200 calories a day you lower chance of impotence
  24. Learn to Cook - control what you eat and women love men who can cook
  25. Some Pills Should Be Popped - Vitamin D baby
I should have divided this up to get a few posts out of it, but its a good list to see all together so there it is.

City Lights Cans Water. Why its better than bottles.

You may have seen the new trend for packaged water with brands like Liquid Death. Now a local brewery, City Lights Brewery , is getting in on the act. Except its not just an act, its not some fad, there are reasons to can vs. bottle water. Good reasons.

Make Men's Health Month About You

The month of November is (one of the) Men's Health Month(s), popularized by the Movember movement. (June is another recognized annual event but since it is November now, November it is.) It's a great foundation, it has been successful and is highly rated for its impact. But, one thing I see with the movement is that while they speak about men's health to the participants, I feel the participants themselves promote it outwardly rather than inward, at them. I personally fell victim to that selfsame issue, but no longer. As of this November, I am taking care of myself.
