Harvard Medical School Guide to Men's Health
Harvey B. Simon £15.15
Men generally won't go rushing to doctors. Nor will they generally
chatter about their latest aches and pains with their friends.
The ten leading causes of death in America are substantially
more common in men than women. Yet Man won't get as much guidance
from the media as pampered Woman will. But if men wished there
was just one nice guy who could, when needed, whisper a word
or two of advice in their ear about their health, there is an
answer.
The guy is called Harvey Simon He's the author of the Harvard
Medical School Guide to Men's Health. He's unlikely to fail
you. And despite the weight of authority behind his work, he's
easy reading. (The sentence above about the ten leading causes
of death in America come from the book.) Harvey is a regular
health writer for the Medical School.
If these pages can't answer your questions, it's doubtful that
any can. From the world's largest and probably best-known medical
school it is a totally comprehensive guide. 'Comprehensive'
can hardly be too strong a word. More than twenty-five years
ago, researchers at Harvard Medical School and the Harvard School
of Public Health. started tracking the behaviour and health
of more than 96,000 American men. This massive study over decades
is the fount of the advice to men filling the book's pages.
If there's any Frequently Asked Question by any man it's here,
with the answer.
The study has led to results already published world-wide. The
value of a daily low-dose aspirin. Which supplements help most.
The reduction in heart disease enjoyed by men who eat dietary
fiber.
The author adopts a two-pronged approach to help men with their
health. The first examines the symptoms and treatments of the
main health maladies of men: disorders of the genital area such
as testicular cancer, sexuality such as erectile dysfunction,
reproduction, benign prostate disorders, prostate cancer, and
kidney and bladder disorders. The book examines other problems
such as depression.
The second is to offer a lifestyle pathway for men willing to
make a little effort to stay out of the doc's clutches, living
a longer, healthier life. It examines the benefits of vitamins,
herbal medications and drugs. And it guides men over five main
stepping stones for sustained health- exercise, aspirin and
other supplements, moderate alcohol, and behavior modification
and stress control.
You may have noticed the good news -alcohol is in there! So
the lifestyle change is not always difficult. Light to moderate
drinking appears to reduce a man's risk of angina, heart attack,
sudden cardiac death, and ischemic stroke.
Any other questions? Should you have a P.S.A. blood test to
check out your prostate's condition? Worry no more. You'll either
know what to do or be able to forget it! On this and anything
else you want to know, after two decades of mass clinical research
this is an adviser you can rely on, always at your side.
