Significant numbers of men over the age of 50 develop problems with prostrate health. The prostate gland is about the size of a chestnut and sits at the base of the bladder in front of the rectum. The prostate surrounds a tube called the urethra which passes urine out of the body. Problems can occur when the prostate becomes enlarged or inflamed to the point of impairing urination and causing severe pain. Such symptoms are may be due simply to non-cancerous prostate enlargement, seen commonly in aging men, which is called Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), formerly known as prostatism. Other causes could be infection or possibly a cancerous tumour.
Unfortunately prostate symptoms are often ignored until they become unbearable. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) states that prostate cancer is the second most common form of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths among men in the United States. The incidence of prostate cancer diagnosis in young men is on the increase, however the rate of deaths from prostate cancer has been decreasing, possibly due to improved detection methods.
Prostrate cancer and other prostate problems brings fear of impotency following surgery, chemotherapy or radiation. Consequently there seems to be a great interest in alternative remedies such as herbal cures, acupuncture, meditation and dietary chnages.
Saw palmetto is a key ingredient in a prostate health supplement, it has been found to be effective in reducing prostate enlargement. It reduced absorption of the hormone which triggers prostate enlargement when pro high levels, and also possesses properties which reduce inflammation and swelling, all of which contribute to relieving bladder discomfort and problems with urination.
To keep cancer at bay, a good diet to follow would be one that includes nuts, vegetables like cabbage, broccoli and kale, fruits like apples, grapefruit and papaya, oatmeal, fish and fish oil and seeds like flax, pumpkin, sunflower and sesame. Foods best avoided are red meats, alcohol, refined sugar, hydrogenated fats and soft drinks. Salmon helps fight inflammation. Research has found that men who ate it regularly had a 300% lower chance of prostrate enlargement. One nature cure recommends pureeing a few aloe vera leaves, combining it with a cup of honey and cooking it for 15 minutes. It is then mixed with 3 tablespoons of brandy and a teaspoonful drunk every 8 hours for a month.
Too often, it is because men are reticent about talking about prostrate problems. Early detection could mean a quick cure so it would be wise to go for a check up as soon as any kind of discomfort is felt in the area. It could make the difference between life and death.

Moods and Foods – How They Affect Your Body
There are times when I have wondered if there was a direct link between my brain and my stomach, because my moods seem to affect the foods I eat and vice versa. It’s true for most of us, because:
• Most people find themselves binging on food of the feel-good kind, like ice creams, chocolates, pastries and other junk food, when they feel really low and depressed.
• When you’re down and in need of a good cry or a shoulder to do it on, you find that no matter what you eat, you seem to have no appetite and even the most delicious food tastes like dry sawdust.
Why is it that some depressing moods cause us to become gluttons while others make us hate the very sight of food? The answer probably lies in the degree of depression that we’re going through at the particular moment.
For example, if you’ve just gotten bad news, you’re probably not going to be able to eat even a tiny morsel of food, even though it’s your favorite kind. This mood stays with you for some time, a few days or so. And it’s when you start looking for ways to beat the mood and make yourself feel good that you begin to turn to food for comfort. The good taste acts as a substitute for the soothing balm your heart needs, and when you eat what you really like, you may think you feel better.
BUT, and that’s a really big but there – you are in danger of slipping back to the depths of depression if you overdose on junk food because, for one, your stomach feels bloated and you feel really uncomfortable with all the burps and other bodily noises you’re creating, and for another, you tend to put on weight if you keep making a habit of this. So eating to beat your blue is definitely not the sanest of solutions.
If we are to stay healthy in both body and mind, we must look at food as something that provides nutrition to our body and not as goodies to be eaten when the mood strikes. Good eating habits must be made the rule rather than the exception, because only when you condition your body to follow the right diet can you take the road to good health in the long term.

“The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.” – Albert Ellis
The Main Goals of Meditation
Meditation is a way in which you can get acquainted with virtue in your mind so that you can have a calmer and more peaceful feeling. Having a peaceful mind is beneficial in helping you become free of your worries.
This is not to say that you won’t worry about things, but you develop a more effective way of dealing with stressful situations in your daily life. You will be able to understand them in a different light and be able to see them for what they really are. When your mind is not at peace, it is hard to be happy even under pleasant circumstances.In some forms of meditation, you can analyze the thought processes that pass through your mind. When you concentrate deeply on the thoughts and situations of your life, you can reach the point at which you find your own answers to your problems.
Today many types of meditation are recommended by health care professionals as a way of cleansing the mind and emotions of negative thoughts. By meditating, you can benefit from improved concentration and memory. It also helps to help you develop a greater understanding of stressful situations in your daily life so that you can have a greater understanding of the real cause of the problem. This helps you approach your problems with less stress because you do not impulsively become angry. This, in turn, helps you get along with others much better.
Your body also benefits from meditation. When your mind is clear, you are better able to bring healing to the parts of your body that are ill. Meditating helps to improve the overall functioning of your immune system so that your body can fight off disease. As your body becomes more relaxed, your blood pressure lowers and your heart can pump the blood to the organs of the body.
The aim of meditation is to give you a sense of inner peace that you will use throughout your day in all your dealings. This is why it is recommended that you meditate in the morning as soon as you awake. The positive feelings that you bring into your mind and body will then help you cope with your day.

Fewer Than Six Hours
A new University of Buffalo study indicates that the less you sleep, the greater your chances of getting diabetes. To put it another way, less than six hours of good sleep a night increases your risk of having higher blood sugar levels. That, in turn, increase the risk of type 2 diabetes.
As presented to a national conference, the scientists suggested that little sleep makes for big health problems. I suggest it is just the other way around. Little or poor sleep is a sign of problems already bubbling under the surface.
At the very least your blood is turning acidic – which effects everything in your body. Your hormones are probably off (hence the poor sleep.) Your nerves are probably out of whack. Your electrolytes are not where they should be. Your body handles dis-ease very well. We are like a frog put in a pot of cool water. Slowly raise the heat and the frog will never know it is being cooked – until it’s too late. The same saga holds true for human beings and illness.
Reduce stress, max out your nutrition with raw foods, and get some exercise and sun every day. You can be your own doctor!
