     Breast Cancer  is a very horrible desease for women.As a real man ,you should take care of your wife .We all know that one may be saved if he or she see the doctor early.

     As the enviroment changing ,the cancer is more common than before.Of course ,Breast Cancer is included.Then what should women do to prevent the Breast Cancer?There is a perfect way,but the words below may help.

     When it comes to breast cancer prevention, the risks you can’t control — such as your age and genetic makeup — may loom large. But there are some breast cancer prevention steps you can always take on your own. Although these measures provide no guarantee that you won’t develop the disease, they’ll give you a start toward breast cancer prevention.

     Limit alcohol. A link exists between alcohol consumption and breast cancer. How strong a link remains to be determined. The type of alcohol consumed — wine, beer or mixed drinks — seems to make no difference. To protect yourself from breast cancer, consider limiting alcohol to less than one drink a day or avoid alcohol completely.
     Maintain a healthy weight. There’s a clear link between obesity — weighing more than is appropriate for your age and height — and breast cancer. This is especially true if you gain the weight later in life, particularly after menopause. Experts speculate that estrogen production in fatty tissue may be the link between obesity and breast cancer risk.
     Stay physically active. Regular exercise can help you maintain a healthy weight and, as a consequence, may aid in breast cancer prevention. Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise on most days of the week. If you haven’t been particularly active in the past, start your exercise program slowly and gradually work up to a greater intensity. Try to include weight-bearing exercises such as walking, jogging or aerobics. These have the added benefit of keeping your bones strong.
     Consider limiting fat in your diet. Results from the most definitive study of dietary fat and breast cancer risk to date suggest a slight decrease in risk of invasive breast cancer for women who eat a low-fat diet. But the effect is modest at best. However, by reducing the amount of fat in your diet, you may decrease your risk of other diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and stroke. And a low-fat diet may protect against breast cancer in another way if it helps you maintain a healthy weight — another factor in breast cancer risk. For a protective benefit, limit fat intake to less than 35 percent of your daily calories and restrict foods high in saturated fat. Read the rest of this entry »

     It seems that the man that smokes is very sexy and mature.Well,thanks to the advertisement and films,some women are trying smoking now.In fact I hate smoking very much.I do not think it is good when I am smoking.But I have to do that when I am in a formal situation.

     Life is very short ,so we had better to be health in order to live longer.So smoking is not a thing you deserve for it.

     Q:What are the dangers of smoking?

     A:(it is from yahoo answers)Cancer, other lung disease, cardiovascular disease. Premature aging, yellow teeth, bad breath, and paying through the nose for cigarettes. I don’t actually mind smelling a little cigarette smoke even though I am a non-smoker, but I try to keep it to a minimum.

     I think if a person wants to run a restaurant or bar and allow people to smoke there, they can do that as far as I am concerned. If the smoke is too thick, I’ll go somewhere else for food and drinks. It’s up to them to decide which customers they are more insterested in accomodating.

     But it’s not so simple for a person to just choose not to go to school or not to go to the hospital or not to ride on public transit. Therefore, I think it’s totally reasonable to legally ban smoking in these sorts of places. A non-smoker who doesn’t want to breathe smoke shouldn’t have to go significantly out of their way to avoid it.

     Q:Can we take any measure to quit smoking?

     A:It is very hard to quit if you have been smoking for a long time.But I can give you some tips here.

     1. Start with some pre-preparation by ensuring that you really do want to quit smoking and understanding why you smoke. Are these reasons powerful enough to motivate you when you are faced with those tricky situations? Write down your reasons for quitting. You may want to take a look at some of the benefits of quitting.

     2. Set yourself a date for quitting. Try and choose a date that will be stress free but when you can find plenty to do to keep yourself busy. Try and set a date within about two weeks of reading this.

     3. Ask your doctor for advice. This is especially important if you have health problems or are concerned about issues such as weight gain.

     4. Consider finding yourself a quitting partner relatives, work colleagues and friends are a good place to start. Set a date to quit together and you will be able to give each other support.

     5. Tell your family and friends about your intentions. Ask them for their support before you quit and explain that you may not be yourself while experiencing withdrawal. When you reach your quitting date rely on those that have been most encouraging for support.

     6. Think about starting an exercise program and a sensible eating plan. Again speak to your doctor or dietician. Exercise will give you more energy and help you to relax and relieve stress.

     7. You should know what triggers your desire for a cigarette, such as stress, the end of a meal, drinking in a bar, etc. Avoid these triggers while you are trying to quit or if that’s  not possible, decide how you will deal with the triggers. Read the rest of this entry »

     This disease is very common for men.When I was young,my mother told me that I should wear little clothes when the weather was very cold.I do not know if this is one of the reason.But it is surely reasonable.

     The words below are from everydayhealth.com,I think it is very professional.So I just want to share it with you.

     Your knees are very vulnerable joints that must hold up under a great deal of stress from everyday activities. Whenever you lift something or kneel down, you put strain on your knees. When you jog or take an aerobics class, your knees experience quite an impact, even as the rest of your body benefits from the exercise.

     About 1.3 million people with acute knee trauma are seen in U.S. emergency departments every year. Most knee pain is caused by osteoarthritis. Another common cause of knee discomfort is patellofemoral syndrome, also known as “runner’s knee,” which stems from a strain on the tendon that attaches the kneecap to the lower leg. For men over 50, the source of pain may be tears of the menisci, the cartilage that provide structural support to the knee.

     The knee is particularly vulnerable to long-term damage because it doesn’t finish completely forming until men are in their late 20s. The knee often undergoes a fair amount of stress before it has fully matured, leaving it open to further damage and knee pain later in life.

     Knee Pain: Understanding the Causes

     Alan Gustafson, 53, of Salem, Ore., first noticed pain in his right knee in the fall of 2008, while he was jogging. “It was a pretty sharp pain,” Gustafson said. “I had to stop.” Looking back, he thinks he actually hurt himself lifting weights on a leg extension machine.

     There are many reasons men might experience knee pain, including:

     Arthritis. Of all of our joints, the knee is most often affected by osteoarthritis, a degenerative process in which the protective cartilage in the joint wears away. It causes chronic pain in the knee, particularly during movement.
     Patellofemoral syndrome. Overuse and overexertion injuries often lead to this condition. A man might feel a dull, aching pain under or around the front of the kneecap. It can be caused by a combination of patellar tendon strain, torn cartilage, and a kneecap that’s out of proper alignment.
     Torn cartilage. Trauma to the knee or overexertion can tear the menisci. This often occurs with sprains. A man who has a torn meniscus will feel sharp pain in the affected knee, and the knee may begin to lock up over time. Read the rest of this entry »

     Prostate Cancer: The Facts

     The prostate is a gland in the male reproductive system about the size of a walnut. It’s located in front of the rectum, under the bladder, and it surrounds the urethra. The prostate creates part of the semen expressed during ejaculation.

     Statistics. An estimated 186,000 new cases of prostate cancer were diagnosed in the United States in 2008, about one in four of all new cancers in men. Prostate cancer caused 28,660 deaths that year, making it the second most lethal form of cancer in men. There is a five-year survival rate of 98.4 percent for prostate cancer.
     Risk factors. Age is a key risk factor in prostate cancer. Your risk of getting the disease increases as you get older. Your risk is higher if you have a family history of prostate cancer or if you are African-American.
Diagnosis. Prostate cancer usually is diagnosed through a combination of two procedures, a rectal exam to check the prostate and a blood test that measures prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a protein that indicates prostate cancer if found in high levels.
     Prostate cancer treatment. Surgery to remove the prostate is one treatment for prostate cancer caught in its early stages. Radiation therapy, hormone therapy, and chemotherapy are used to treat more advanced cases of prostate cancer. In elderly men, sometimes the choice is made not to treat an early-stage cancer because it is slow-growing, and instead monitor the condition. 

     Lung Cancer: The Facts

     Lung cancer is the deadliest form of cancer for men and women, and the second most common type of cancer in men, accounting for 15 percent of newly diagnosed cancer cases.

     Statistics. Lung cancer was diagnosed in 114,690 U.S. men were in 2008, and there were 90,810 deaths, making it the number one cancer killer of men in the United States. There is a five-year survival rate of 15 percent.
Risk factors. Smoking or exposure to second-hand smoke causes most cases of lung cancer. Exposure to chemicals or environmental factors like pollution or asbestos can also cause lung cancer. Read the rest of this entry »
