Men's Health
What are you waiting for? Now is the time to clean up from the inside out – from cleaner arteries to leaner abs. Now is the time to give yourself the best protection there is against the #1 killer in our society – heart attacks.
The Pritikin Program is so successful at preventing heart disease that Congress recently enacted legislation that allows Medicare to cover participation in the program.
Lower your blood pressure. Shed excess pounds. Take down – way down – your risk of heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, prostate cancer, and even impotence. And, most importantly, live a happier, more balanced life.
It’s all yours. And it’s all so easy. With Pritikin, there’s no calorie counting, no food points, no special foods you have to buy.
Simple steps from the Pritikin Program can yield huge dividends. Did you know, for example, that switching your morning bowl of cold cereal for one of hot cereal and fruit can shave 250 calories each day from your total diet? That one simple change could help you drop about 25 pounds in one year.
Get going. You owe it to yourself and everyone who loves you. Once you see – and feel – the results, you’ll wonder why you waited so long.
One in Every Six Men Will Get Prostate Cancer
An American man dies every 18 minutes from prostate cancer. The time to act is now - before you get the disease, before you're forced to endure prostate cancer surgery and its many miseries, like impotence, urinary incontinence, and a shortened penis.
Exercise Helps Relieve Prostatitis Pain
Ask any guy who has it (and many do), prostatitis, or inflammation of the prostate, is no fun. Symptoms commonly include pelvic, testicular, and penile pain; frequent urination; pain or burning during urinating; chills and fevers; and sexual difficulties.
Prostate Health: Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
Prostate Health: Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a noncancerous (benign) growth of the prostate gland. BPH is very common in men over 50 years old. It affects about 10% of men under the age of 40, and increases to about 80% by 80 years of age. BPH is more common among American and European men than Asian men.
Prevention
Even though heart disease kills more men in America than virtually all other causes of death combined, heart disease and its many risk factors, including high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes, are almost completely preventable for at least 90% of us by adopting the Pritikin way of life.
