Posted on January 16, 2012 by Greg Asseff

It’s long been known that being heavily overweight or obese has the ability to increase your risk of contracting a wide variety of chronic and/or debilitating diseases.

One such disease that may increase in probability, in relation to obese men, is advanced prostate cancer, according to a new obesity and prostate cancer study published in the medical journal Annals of Oncology. The study sheds a little more light on the nature of the link between obesity and prostate cancer, a relationship that has proven to be quite complex.

Posted on December 28, 2011 by Greg Asseff

New Year’s Eve is just around the corner, and if you are like many of the millions of other Americans, you have probably already spent quite a bit of time thinking about what your New Year’s Resolutions will be for the upcoming year.

It is human nature for a large majority of the population to look forward to the upcoming year with optimism and hope. For this reason, it is also easy to define a set of goals that you would like to change about yourself.

For example, start a weight loss program, exercise more, quit smoking, get promoted to a higher position at work, go back to school, and so on. This being said, literally millions of people define their New Year’s Resolutions year in and year out and thereafter, fail to achieve them.

In fact, the unfortunate truth is that there is a high probability that the majority of New Year’s Resolutions that are made each and every year will not be achieved, let alone even survive through the first couple weeks in January.

Testosterone therapy is a medical treatment that is designed to boost the testosterone levels in men that are lacking sufficient quantities of the hormone.

Others, however, believe that more research remains before it can be determined whether testosterone therapy could increase the risk of life-threatening health conditions including cancer and heart disease. So, is testosterone safe?

Proponents of the therapy just received a breakthrough in the form of a study indicating that testosterone treatments lasting just six months can result in a few pounds of lost body fat along with a few pounds of gained muscle mass.

Still, some medical scientists and professionals argue that the benefits associated with testosterone therapy may not outweigh the potential health risks. Could testosterone therapy be a viable treatment for you? The primary thought here is – proceed with caution and make sure that you take the time to thoroughly research the “pros and cons” of testosterone therapy and of course, consult your medical physician.

Posted on December 19, 2011 by Greg Asseff

While a certain level of stress within the workplace is normal, after all it is work; an excessive level of stress can certainly interfere with your productivity and can even impact your physical and emotional health and well being.
