Go nuts and boost your heart health. Studies show that the humble nut can lower triglycerides and provide individuals with heart-protective nutrients. These include copper, magnesium, arginine, vitamin E and folate, along with fiber. Now that’s good news for many nut-loving women experiencing the signs and symptoms of a heart problem.

Participants in one study who ate 1.5 ounces of pistachios each day for a month, then ate three ounces daily for another month actually experienced a nine per­cent drop in LDL cholesterol. That was after following the low-nut diet. The decrease in unhealthy cholesterol was greater after eating more pistachios.

There are other great-tasting foods that women who are prone to heart problems can savor to their hearts’ content. Topping the list are blueberries (which may be added to whole grain cereal, pancakes or salad) and salmon. Drinking red wine has likewise been associated with a lowered rate of heart disease.

Vaginal yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, and urinary tract infections together affect an estimated one billion women each year. If they are recurrent, they may signal underlying health problems. Hence, medical consultation is important. A doctor will be able to help affected women identify the causes of chronic yeast infections, which may range from taking birth control pills to poor diet & hygiene.

To ward off UTI, the doctor will most likely advise you to avoid simple sugars and include garlic and onions in your diet, and drink lots of water; wear cotton underwear so as not to trap moisture; practice good hygiene; and always urinate before and after intercourse. To prevent yeast infections, get ample sleep and engage in regular physical activity; eat one-half cup of yogurt each day; avoid refined carbohydrates and alcohol; avoid perfumed body soap; wear loose-fitting cotton undergarments; and make sure your partner has clean genitalia before a sexual encounter.

If fat’s the issue, women’s health information resources run the gamut from consumer product brand brochures to emailed health updates, to word-of-mouth advice and doctor’s recommendations, to printed literature.

If your guy also happens to be stressed out all the time, that heightens his risk for ailments.

Aside from urging him to have an annual medical check-up, you can help enhance his health by serving a balanced diet that includes lean meat, vegetables, fruits and whole grains. Help your man. Health & fitness tips may be a good start.

Chances are, you’ve fallen for the diet traps. If you’ve cut out the trans fat-laden burgers & fries and going for healthier foods but soon forget that you also need to watch the portion sizes, you’ll keep gaining weight. Are you a frequent snacker? little snacks can add up to more calories than a whole meal in a single day. Keep in mind that instead of noodles & chips, you can opt for fruits like apples that are full of nutrients and can satiate

If you tend to skip meals and then overeat at another meal to compensate, it’s another diet trap. Bear in mind also that while watching calories, you need to ensure that you’re getting all the vitamins & minerals your body needs – from the B vitamins to Vitamin D, iron, and calcium.

Men generally put their health last. In fact, most men have the `Superman’ mentality, which is aligned with the thinking that they must live up to their role of family provider and pillar of strength. Hence, they are less likely to go to a doctor, unless they already feel the symptoms of a disease.

 Tough though they may want to be, many men contend with health risks as they age. By being updated and adhering to good nutrition and healthy lifestyle practices, plus an ounce of preventive care, men can stay healthy and carry on with work and pastimes with ease and pleasure. 

Consulting a doctor to see which of the top threats to men’s health you are most likely susceptible to – based on your current physical state, should be among your priorities. What are these top health threats facing men? They are cardiovascular disease, lung or prostate gland  disorders, depression, diabetes, and erectile dysfunction. A healthy diet and regular physical activity may help alleviate the early signs of these disorders. Prompt medical attention is vital.
