Male Health

Sacha Tarkovsky asked:


L-Arginine has been a favorite of bodybuilders for many years, but is also being taken by many for its general health benefits and the fact that it is one of the best supplements to boost sex drive naturally and is nicknamed “natures Viagra”

Lets look at its health benefits in more detail

L-Arginine is what is called a semi-essential amino acid.

Our bodies cannot make it naturally, and we have to get it from our diets. L-Arginine is found in founds such as oily fish, nuts, seeds, raisins and chocolate.

You can also buy it in tablet form, either alone or in combination with other proteins.

What Does L-Arginine Do?

Lets look at its general affect on the body first and how it can boost sex drive as well

Many studies now prove that L-Arginine is useful in basic bodily functions, such as the secretion of hormones, boosting the immune system, and is a great anti-oxidant (helping the body remove free radicals and toxins) from the body.

L-Arginine is partially responsible for the production of nitric oxide in our body, which is a ‘vasodilator’ (helps veins expand or dilate).

L- Arginine & the Blood

Understanding this quality, doctors often use L-Arginine for cardiovascular ailments (high blood pressure, angina, and so on). Also, the same principle of vasodilation to help treat erectile dysfunction and even infertility as you need nitric oxide to create an erection

Other studies indicate that L-Arginine taken as a dietary supplement can aid in lowering the levels of ‘bad’ cholesterol, regulating our normal salt levels, and even assisting in the metabolism of fats.

A Bodybuilder’s Discovery?

Physical culturists and body builders are very fond of L-Arginine for their own reasons.

• It aids in the synthesis of proteins, and thus body mass

• As it’s a vasodilator it will aid in the rapid growth of muscle

• Its role in nitrogen retention also aids muscle growth

• Its immune system boosting keeps the bodybuilder more healthy

Bodybuilders regularly add large amounts of L-Arginine in their dietary supplementation.

Is it Possible to Get Plentiful L-Arginine Naturally?

The answer is yes. If you eat plenty of raw seeds and nuts (such as pistachio, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds (or their products, such as tahini), organic and natural raisins, you can add grams of usable L-Arginine to your diet.

The old Arabic sexual manual,

The Perfumed Garden, was referring to foods with high L- Arginine thousands of years ago to increase sexual potential potency.

The sages that wrote that work did not have the luxury or aid of modern chemistry, but nevertheless they had a great power of observation.

Certain foods produced certain effects and getting more Nitric oxide from L-Arginine has been medically proven to help make sex drive

The fact is Nitric oxide insufficiency can stop the penis from becoming erect.

Nitric oxide is critical to the erection process as impulses from the brain and nerves cause the release of nitric oxide.

This causes the muscles of the penis to relax and blood flows into the spongy tissue of the penis to create an erection.

Nitric Oxide declines with age and many men who are getting older do not need to take Ciallis, Viagra or other prescription drugs they simply need to increase their production of nitric oxide and get an increase of nitric oxide and L- Arginine does this.

A study published in 1994 showed an 80 percent improvement in the erectile function of men given 2.8 grams of argentine a day after just two weeks.

Dosages of up to 3 grams are taken by many people now to aid with all the above and can be taken without prescription.

All men getting older may like to consider this supplement for their all round health and sexual well being.

Mike Stet asked:


It’s only right that there should be a men’s health magazine. In the past, the real need for a male oriented publication on health has been eclipsed by the many other publications focusing on female concerns. It is pretty obvious though that men also have health issues that deserve to be addressed.

Your Magazine Need

There is no question that men and women just aren’t made from the same mold. This is not a sexist view it is a fact. Although women can now perform the same tasks, jobs and responsibilities as men, they difference between male and female health concerns differ. Issues ranging from hair loss to sexual dysfunction for example are experienced differently by men and women. Men may therefore not be able to benefit from generic pieces of health advice.

In other words, some pieces of health advice for women may not be applicable for men. It should go without saying that men truly need a resource of their own that can provide the right answers to unique male concerns.

What’s in a Magazine

There are a variety of publications that offer advice on male health. The most basic publications however simply focus on such topics as fitness training and nutrition. As most of us already know though, these are not the only components of a man. Like women, men are complex beings too. Striving to achieve total health takes more than just knowing the right diet and exercise regimen.

This is why men’s health magazine publications now know better than to take a simplified approach. Instead of just shelling out tips on exercises and diet components, they also need to provide data on such topics as make disease detection, mental health, sex and lifestyle types. Other magazines offer an even broader view through topics focusing on fashion and technology.

Picking Your Magazine

You don’t want to waste your money by skipping from one subscription to another. You would want to get the ideal magazine the first time. You can do this by narrowing down your preferred focus. Although magazines for men contain many different topics, most of them have theme focuses. Some obviously focus more on nutrition or some other male health concern or issue. Find a magazine that focuses on your main interests.

Actual readers would also know best which magazines are worth your money. Read a couple of reviews first before settling on a publication.

There is no doubt that you will benefit from a men’s health magazine. It can give you the right clues to making a healthy lifestyle possible for you.

Sacha Tarkovsky asked:


Male sexual health and libido can decline for a number of reasons. Many men at some period of their lives experience erection difficulties and a decline in libido and in many cases all that is needed is some lifestyle changes.

Here we will look at simple lifestyle changes and some supplements that are medically proven to work.

First let’s start with the obvious.

Male sexual health is affected by the following:

Alcohol, smoking and recreational drugs, so either cut them down or better still, stop altogether.

Next

Male sexual wellness can be improved by exercise and healthy living and this means a diet that is natural.

Get rid of heavily processed foods and get plenty of vegetables and lean meat.

Remember you are what you eat. The body does not work in isolated portions, it functions as a whole and if your body is healthy, then libido will generally increase.

Lets look at a few supplements that you can take to increase overall male sexual health and libido.

L argentine

This nutrient is highly important for peak sexual performance and is nick named “natures Viagra”. And with good reason.

If you were to take only one supplement for male sexual wellness this should be it.

Current studies support the use of argentine supplements to ensure that nitric oxide secretion is sufficient to keep blood flowing to the penis and of course proper blood flow is essential for an erection.

Insufficient nitric oxide can stop the penis from becoming erect.

A study published in 1994 (and supported by other medical tests) showed an 80% improvement in the erectile function of men who were given just 2.8 grams of L argentine a day for two weeks.

L Argenine supplementation is available without prescription and is an essential supplement to try if you lack libido.

L Tyrosine

Supports and assists neurotransmitters in the brain.

When the body is stressed out, aged, or tired the availability of L-Tyrosine is depleted.

L-Tyrosine supplementation helps reduce stress, improves mental alertness, and enhances mood, which in many instances can result in a higher sex drive.

Mood is important in terms of male sexual wellness and a major cause of short term impotence is stress, anxiety and depression.

L Tyrosine lifts our mood and as a consequence lifts our sex drive and libido.

Two other great body tonics to use are Chinese; they both will help improve mood and blood flow around the body including the genitals.

Gingko Bilbao

It is used to improve blood flow to the brain, thus improving concentration, increasing memory (especially in the elderly), enhances blood flow to extremities, such as the legs, and functions as an anti-oxidant in the body.

It helps inhibit lipid peroxidation of cell membranes, which is a process that leads to clogging of the arteries, or atherosclerois.

Gingko also helps with tinniutus and emotional instability. A great all round supplement which has been known for centuries to increase sexual desire and arousal.

Ginseng

Ginseng has been used in China as a sexual balancer and revitalizing tonic for 7000 years.

It is stimulating and restorative, improving physical and mental energy, stamina, strength, alertness and concentration.

As an adaptogen it also helps the body cope with physical or emotional stress and fatigue.

It has a normalizing effect on hormone imbalances and boosts metabolic rate as well as improving blood flow to the genitals.

If you have a good all round diet, take moderate exercise and restrict recreational drugs the above supplements will help you not only increase libido but give you all round health benefits as well.

Nandeshori Devi Konthoujam asked:


The ultimate goal of numerous men disappointed with size of their penis is penis enlargement. Normally, when a man is facing an apparent predicament with the size of the penis, it is advisable to go for medical suggestions and treatment and should never go for either self treatment or management or one should not keep it undisclosed. Keeping unchecked will lead to more hazardous health problems and even self treating and management may dangerous as well as unsuccessful.

Penis enlargement, according to the report of the studies by different expert sexologist, is the condition of the man having inadequate size than normal and thus sexually in capable of sexuality. And this is considered to be lack of masculinity and this may happen from some causes of anxiety. Though a small number of men in the society are facing the inadequate size of penis, it is an alarming situation. Micropenis or the inadequate penis size is observed in the man since childhood and even the people detect it in early stages of growth, its self treatment or self management does not work at all and discussing a sexologist is necessary. Penis enlargement has become a common male health concern at present day.

Micropenis is not a least curse to the man health in comparison to erectile dysfunction, impotency and other sexual disorders in man. Several methods have emerged in the field of sexual health and thus it provides a new hope to the sufferers. Penis enlargement with different methods are there and among them exercise of penis is an effective way for penis enlargement.

The problem of Micropenis is experiencing by the people since prehistoric days and even sacrifices the safety of one’s sexual health in their self trial for penis enlargement or gaining a bigger size of penis compatible for a healthy and enjoyable sexual life. The fact that plant and its extracts containing medicinal properties are

Prehistoric men also made use of diverse herbs to make bigger penises for making long lasting erection. Present day science is competent to mingle extract from diverse herbs in making one effective penis pill. Thus we can assume that that ancient technique of the penis enlargement does not appreciably vary from the recent ones, the fundamental principles remaining the same. Only disparity is that recent techniques are more advanced and effective in comparison to the prehistoric ones. At present different professional herbalists are working under the fundamental facts that a large number of plants and their extracts can be recommended as the most appropriate method for penis enlargement. Modern health specialists especially the sexologists have succeeded in integrating and enhancing the ancient secrets on herbal medicinal values and grow the encouraging effects which have lesser side effects and greater affectivity.

Tafsirul Mazahir asked:


The Primary Health Care (PHC) strategy has proved to be a turning point in the history of health care policy. PHC was defined as “essential health care based on practical, scientifically sound and socially acceptable methods and technology, made universally accessible to individuals and families in the community through their full participation and at a cost that the community and the country can afford to maintain at every stage of development in the spirit of self-reliance and self determination”. PHC was expected to form an integral part of both the country’s health system, of which it is the central function and main focus, and the overall social and economic development of the community. It would be the first level of contact of individuals, the family and community with the national health system, bringing health care as close as possible to where people work and live, and constitute the first element of a continuing health

care process.

 

 

PHC comprises eight elements:

 

ü      education concerning prevailing health problems and the methods of preventing and controlling them,

ü      promotion of food supply and proper nutrition,

ü      adequate supply of safe water and basic sanitation,

ü      maternal and child health care, including family planning,

ü      immunization against major infectious diseases,

ü      prevention and control of locally endemic diseases,

ü      appropriate treatment of common diseases and injuries, and

ü      provision of essential drugs.

 

The ideology and principles behind PHC closely match what was and has since been advocated in human development such as social justice, equity, human rights, universal access to services, giving priority to the most vulnerable and underprivileged, and community involvement. It is a recognized fact that the promotion and protection of the health of the people is essential to sustained economic and social development and contributes to better quality of life and to world peace. These prioritized PHC as the main strategy for achieving health for all. Despite this commitment and several years of work, not much has been achieved.

 

There is a need to examine the implementation of primary health care and identify strategic interventions needed to cope with the new challenges facing health systems, as a contribution to developing an agenda for strengthening PHC in the 21st century.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Key ISSUES that may need TO BE REVIEWED/addressed for strengthening PHC’s are:

 

 

ü      PHC policy formulation: How was the PHC policy formulated? What was the process of formulating PHC policy, the content of the PHC policy etc.

 

ü      PHC policy implementation: How are the PHC policies being implemented? Aspects to examine include advocacy and marketing, actors and partners, structures and processes etc..

 

ü      PHC resources: What resources are available for PHC implementation, for example human and financial resources, as well as PHC physical resources and structures?

 

ü      PHC monitoring and review: How are PHC policy and strategies being monitored and reviewed?

 

ü      Health trends: What are the trends of the main health and health-related challenges?

 

 

 

 

 

PROCESS

 

Data for the review to be obtained from the following sources:

 

ü      Unstructured interviews with interviewees/informants that have intimate knowledge of PHC implementation, such as policy makers, implementers at all levels, other sectors involved, WHO and other partners.

 

ü      Discussions with a wider audience of people who have intimate knowledge of PHC implementation. These included policy makers implementers, NGOs, private sector, health related institutions, WHO and other partners

 

ü      A desk analysis of available documents and reports specific to the country and extensive analysis of all available published and unpublished documents and materials.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Review of the Rural Health Care System in India:

 

 

 Rural Health Care System – the structure and current scenario

 

The health care infrastructure in rural areas has been developed as a three tier system (see Chart 1) and is based on the following population norms:

 

 

1.                  Centre

Population Norms

2.                  Plain Area

Hilly/Tribal/Difficult Area

Sub-Centre

5000

3000

Primary Health Centre

30,000

20,000

Community Health Centre

1,20,000

80,000

 

 

 

Sub-Centres (SCs)

 

The Sub-Centre is the most peripheral and first contact point between the primary health care system and the community.  Each Sub-Centre is manned by one Auxiliary Nurse Midwife (ANM) and one Male Health Worker MPW (M) (for details of staffing pattern, see Box 1).  One Lady Health Worker (LHV) is entrusted with the task of supervision of six Sub-Centres. Sub-Centres are assigned tasks relating to interpersonal communication in order to bring about behavioral change and provide services in relation to maternal and child health, family welfare, nutrition, immunization, diarrhea control and control of communicable diseases programmes.  The Sub-Centres are provided with basic drugs for minor ailments needed for taking care of essential health needs of men, women and children. The Department of Family Welfare is providing 100% Central assistance to all the Sub-Centres in the country since April 2002 in the form of salary of ANMs and LHVs, rent at the rate of Rs. 3000/- per annum and contingency at the rate of Rs. 3200/- per annum, in addition to drugs and equipment kits. The salary of the Male Worker is borne by the State Governments.  Under the Swap Scheme, the Government of India has taken over an additional 39554 Sub Centres from State Governments / Union Territories since April, 2002 in lieu of 5434 number of Rural Family Welfare Centres transferred to the State Governments / Union Territories. There are 146026 Sub Centres functioning in the country as on September, 2005 as compared to 142655 in September, 2004.

 

 

 

 

 

Primary Health Centres (PHCs)

 

PHC is the first contact point between village community and the Medical Officer. The PHCs were envisaged to provide an integrated curative and preventive health care to the rural population with emphasis on preventive and promotive aspects of health care. The PHCs are established and maintained by the State Governments under the Minimum Needs Programme (MNP)/ Basic Minimum Services Programme (BMS). At present, a PHC is manned by a Medical Officer supported by 14 paramedical and other staff.  It acts as a referral unit for 6 Sub Centres.  It has 4 - 6 beds for patients.  The activities of PHC involve curative, preventive, primitive and Family Welfare Services.  There are 23236 PHCs functioning as on September, 2005 in the country as compared to 23109 in September, 2004.

 

 

 

 Community Health Centres (CHCs)

     

CHCs are being established and maintained by the State Government under MNP/BMS programme . It is manned by four medical specialists i.e. Surgeon, Physician, Gynecologist and Pediatrician supported by 21 paramedical and other staff.  It has 30 in-door beds with one OT, X-ray, Labour Room and Laboratory facilities.  It serves as a referral centre for 4 PHCs and also provides facilities for obstetric care and specialist consultations. As on September, 2005, there are 3346 CHCs functioning in the country.

Today no one can avoid being influenced by advertisements. We are no longer free to choose the things we want, for advertising exerts a subtle influence on us. Advertisers have made a close study of human nature and have classified all our little weaknesses.

I have read the advertisements of 5 top sales volume “natural male enhancement” in western countries, they are all telling you their products are natural and effective, that is no harm and can work!

May be you need to hear another kind of voice; this voice is coming from Eastern country. Many times we dream to eat different kind of food; but the sad truth is that most of us have been brought up to eat certain foods and we stick to them all our lives. So you need a warmhearted guide. I hope to tell you: You are just making do with second best.

If there is a product in this world, SANLIDA, is it perfect to you?

For sexual health preservation: 1 pill per day

For sex therapeutic purpose: 2 pills per day

For prompt improvement of sexuality: 2-3 pills to be taken 2-3 hours before sexual intercourse

For serious cases or for the aging: Dosage to be slightly increased.

After you have taken SANLIDA, if you do not want to engage in sexual intercourse, you will feel full of energy, and life will go on as usual with you, and you will have no unwonted physiological reactions. However, as soon as you are inclined to do it, you will immediately feel a strong passion arising accompanied by an ample supply of energy in your body. Thus, you have truly reached the exquisite state of having your “sex” stirring in full harmony with your heart.

Under the twofold pressure of work and life, the majority of contemporary people are in a sub- healthy state, which manifests itself in the worsening of memory, lowering of concentration, poor male sexuality, sore waist and feeble legs, anxiety and heat in five internal organs, insomnia and excess of dreaming, vertigo and dizziness, tinnitus and deafness, fear of cold and no warmth in the four limbs. SANLIDA is for the men:

? Being unable to fall asleep within 5 minutes after getting in bed;

? Having to get up in the night more than two times for urinating;

? Forgetting about things in excess of once in two weeks;

? Having too many dreams, being disturbed by dreams four or five nights in a week;

? Feeling out of breath after climbing five flights of stairs up to the sixth floor, the heartbeat rate becoming more than 120; Feeling sore in the waist after sexual intercourse and also lack of energy and concentration.

Some customers ask us: “After taking SANLIDA for a few weeks I discovered unexpectedly that the symptom of my chronic diseases had ameliorated. Why?”

A part of those people who are afflicted with prostatic diseases, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, or cardiovascular diseases would find that the symptoms had made great improvement since he began to take SANLIDA. This phenomenon pertains to the normal effect of the product. More details: http://www.sldinter.com
