Bloke Health

We are all living longer and our quality of life in our middle to late years depends to large extent on the way we treat our bodies during our lifetime. Doctors' waiting rooms are full of senior citizens with absolutely no quality of life because of ilness and disease resulting from lifestyle choices detrimental to future health.

You won't need a brain the size of a planet to work out what this site is all about, or the direction the content will lead you. Men undoubtedly lag behind women where matters of health are concerned, and this is often linked to the macho male ego. If you have a problem, go and see your doctor. Discuss it with someone; but for heaven sake, don't ignore it. Prostate Cancer, for example, can be successfully managed in the majority of cases if the condition is recognised in its early stages.

You have a choice. Look after yourself now and reap the rewards associated with good health as you get older. Don't miss out on the excellent love life men have in their later years, but you do need a healthy Prostate Gland for that to happen and we can show you some positive steps you can take to look after that part of your body and much, much more.

“You only have one body and it has to last a long time” is a mantra you will stumble across on more than one occasion as you begin your journey through this site; and you know the really good news, it is never too late to adopt a healthy lifestyle.

If you are a smoker, then you probably won't be reading this section as you will have already beaten a hasty retreat through cyber space evading yet another imagined “anti-smoking diatribe”; but if you are a smoker and you are still with us, then read on and marvel at the miracle of sight which your current addiction is putting at serious risk.

The one thing that most of us fear losing is our sight. And yet this most powerful of weapons is rarely used by health professionals and others involved in helping smokers bin the ash tray. Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in the developing world for the over 50s, and the nicotine habit puts the smoker right up there near the apex of the “At Risk Group”. Yes, you are right, non-smokers develop AMD; but are you prepared to accept the risk.
