Dr. Oz's 25 Natural Men's Health Tips

-
Natural Awakenings magazine Milwaukee edition has a cover article on Dr. Oz' (of Oprah and his own show now fame)  25 Greatest Men's Health Tips. I recommend picking up the magazine which I found at Outpost Natural Foods as I did not find the article on the web site yet, hopefully it will be there, but here is the list sans his exposition on the benefits but with a quick note by me.
  1. Roll on the Floor Laughing - laughing eases stress and reduces blood pressure
  2. Don't Skip Breakfast - specifically fiber means less hunger later
  3. Hit The Sack - get seven hours of sleep
  4. Admire Your Work - snoop your poop
  5. Don't Pamper Your Bad Back - bed rest weakens back so get up
  6. Taste The Colors - eat foods with color, as many different colors
  7. Brushing Is Not Enough - floss
  8. Take A Deep Belly Breath - just one deep breath can calm
  9. Join A Yoga Class - Dr. Oz says: being surrounded by women in spandex is a good reason. I'll take his word
  10. Don't Be an Island - women may live longer than men due to more social networks
  11. Avoid Fad Diets - just lower calories intake by 100 (that's 10 pounds a year)
  12. Be a Smart Patient -second opinions, health journal, ask questions
  13. Lose the Beer Belly - belly size should be less than half your height (so for me at 66" tall my 32-33 inch waist is almost good). Oh and every pt of BMI above 25 is a 3% drop in testosterone - fat is unmanly
  14. Go Green - green tea that is
  15. Sweat Until You're Wet - one hour of hard, sweaty workout a week is all you need
  16. Save Some Money - personal finance is ranked number one stressor
  17. Have as Much Sex as Possible - tell your significant other (SO) Dr. Oz said so.
  18. Know Your Numbers, the Aim Lower - your heart numbers that is
  19. Add Some Weights - 30 min twice a week (okay so that is now 2 hours a week of workout)
  20. Grab Your Nuts - healthful fats and protein
  21. No, Seriously, Grab Your Nuts - or have your SO check them for you - catch testicular cancer early
  22. Hit the Dance Floor - mental and physical activity and may help #17
  23. Do Your Penis a Favor - if you burn 200 calories a day you lower chance of impotence
  24. Learn to Cook - control what you eat and women love men who can cook
  25. Some Pills Should Be Popped - Vitamin D baby
I should have divided this up to get a few posts out of it, but its a good list to see all together so there it is.

Tosa Embracing, Placing Skaters In Safe Space

Hey look quick, its kids being active! It is all too common for us to bemoan the sedentary lifestyle of modern children and there are many efforts to increase their level of activity. At the same time, we condemn physical activities we once did as youths with no thought of safety. It is understandable that we want to protect our kids and promote safe practices like wearing of helmets. But how do we reconcile our concerns of safety while also promoting physical activity? One of the best ways is to create and maintain safe spaces for them to do the activities. In Wauwatosa they are doing just that with a new skate park being planned in Hart Park. With the assistance of Tosa Skateboarders United , TSU, and the  Jack Doyle Memorial Challenge Grant funds have been raised to build a new skate park that will provide a dedicated, safe place for skaters in the city to, well, skate.

Make Men's Health Month About You

The month of November is (one of the) Men's Health Month(s), popularized by the Movember movement. (June is another recognized annual event but since it is November now, November it is.) It's a great foundation, it has been successful and is highly rated for its impact. But, one thing I see with the movement is that while they speak about men's health to the participants, I feel the participants themselves promote it outwardly rather than inward, at them. I personally fell victim to that selfsame issue, but no longer. As of this November, I am taking care of myself.
