Summer is right around the corner!

2008-06-02T14:20:00.000-07:00

Summer is right around the corner and that means sun and fun for most of the US. We'll be lighting the barbecue soon for the 4th of July. Chances are you'll be around a large crowd of people and what better time to promote prostate health than at a backyard party! If you're neighbors are anything like mine they'll tell you "everything" that is going on with the people living around you so why not share your new found love for prostate health with them. A simple question like,"Have you had a prostate exam lately?" can break the ice and provide a moment to laugh before starting a conversation.
It's a fact that some men are afraid to go to the doctor for routine check ups so encourage your male friends and family members to stay healthy now before minor issues turn into major problems.

New Years Resolutions

2008-04-21T14:40:00.000-07:00

Many of us have forgotten our New Years Resolutions while some of us are still maintaining our lofty goals! Personally I am working on maintaining and improving my health overall for 2008 and beyond. Of course prostate health is vitally important to me and so is keeping a high level of cardio fitness through bicycle racing. You don't need to take things to extremes like I do but you can do a few things daily to help you.

Eat healthy everyday - sounds hard to do but it can be maintained if you make it a habit.

Exercise 3 times a week.

Take a 15 minute walk at lunch time or after dinner.

The www is a valuable resource for finding recipes and ways to stay fit even as we age. A few quick searches for keywords like healthy recipes or fitness can yield many helpful websites. Take a look around and you'll find a vast amount of information that can and will help you stay in shape and enjoy life.

News: Prostate Test Flaws Prompt New Strategy

2008-04-01T09:33:00.000-07:00

Every year, millions of men are screened for prostate cancer with PSA tests – blood tests that measure levels of the protein prostate-specific antigen. Higher PSA levels, especially above 4 nanograms per milliliter of blood, are used to indicate cancer and send men for prostate biopsies.

However, a study of 1,607 prostate biopsies done at New York Presbyterian Hospital from 1993 to 2005 found that PSA scores no longer predict cancer in men whose prostates feel normal to a doctor. Dr. Douglas Scherr, who led the study, noted that they are seeing that the "prostate cancer detection rate has remained the same over time; roughly 30 percent of biopsies find cancer." Dr. Scherr added that they are seeing new urine-based tests, one is called PCA3.

He highly recommends a digital rectal exam to check for cancer. He was undecided whether or not a prostate biopsy test could be our next major screening tool, much the same as colonoscopy is now.

Your health

2008-03-04T16:02:00.000-08:00

If you're into your health (and who shouldn't be?!?) it is wise to discuss with your doctor any signs or symptoms you may have. You never know if just one doctor visit can be the one that saves your life.

Staying healthy and fit as we age is vitally important. Drop a few pounds and see how great you feel. Good weather is coming up soon so start on a plan to improve your health in 2008. I personally lost 35 lbs two years ago and have kept it off. If I can do it, you can do it, believe me!!!

Media Buzz

2008-02-26T10:48:00.000-08:00

I just got back from Las Vegas last night. I attended the Affiliate Summit show at the Rio. I spoke to several media buyers that are very interested in promoting Prostalex Plus. They understand the importance of finding and promoting successful brands so we'll be working closely with these industry players to broaden the marketing efforts we're doing to get Prostalex Plus to even more men that need help.

Exercise prevents cancer

2008-02-22T15:29:00.000-08:00

By now you have probably heard that exercise will help prevent cancer. This is especially important for your sexual health and well-being. Regular exercise is also a good way to prevent prostate cancer. Here are some exercises to remember as part of a daily workout routine:

* Lunges (step forward & lower your thigh to 90 degrees from the floor)
* Push Ups
* Lateral pull-down (ask your local fitness trainer for the best technique)
* Cardio: jogging, walking, swimming

Don't forget to stretch and relax! Reducing stress levels is also known to promote a long happy life.

Prostatitis

2008-02-22T15:15:00.000-08:00

Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate. Because women do not have a prostate gland, it is a condition found only in men.

According to the 1999 National Institute of Health (NIH) Classification, there are four categories of prostatitis:

* Category I: Acute prostatitis (bacterial)
* Category II: Chronic bacterial prostatitis
* Category III: Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS)
* Category IV: Asymptomatic inflammatory prostatitis

Common bacteria are known to cause infections and this can be remedied by antibiotics prescribed by a doctor.

Inflammation that is non-bacterial can be remedied by taking the following:

* Vitamin A
* Zinc
* Saw Palmetto extract
* Pygeum Bark
* Pumpkin Seed
* Vitamin E
* Selenium
* Green Tea Leaf
* Beta Sitosterol
* Lycopene

The above ingredients help reduce the size of an enlarged prostate when taken over time.

Healthy Diet - Healthy Prostate

2008-02-14T10:11:00.000-08:00

Food scientists are promoting a diet rich in fruits and vegetables to help maintain a healthy body and lower prostate cancer risk. Foods from animals, however, may increase cancer risk. Clinical trials suggest that higher consumption of vitamin E and selenium reduces prostate cancer risk (found in plant foods). Researchers now believe that tomatoes, broccoli, soy (tofu) and blueberries are very good for prostate health as well. Mom was right - eat your fruits and vegetables!

What is an enlarged prostate?

2008-02-14T10:00:00.000-08:00

An enlarged prostate means the gland has grown in size, which is a natural occurrence in all men as they age. Also known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), an enlarged prostate is not cancer, nor does it raise your risk for prostate cancer.

What are the symptoms of this condition?

When the prostate grows, the urethra is tightly squeezed, leading to frequent urination, especially in the middle of the night, with some strain to start and stop. You may also experience a sense of not completely emptying the bladder. A doctor will be able to give you a PSA checkup to diagnosis the condition.

Prostalex is gaining traction

2008-02-08T14:32:00.000-08:00

I just got a call from our distribution manager. Looks like Prostalex Plus is the fastest selling prostate health sku at GNC and Walgreen's. That is great news! We know Prostalex Plus works for thousands of men around the USA so if you have a prostate problem give it a shot.

What is a prostate and how does it work?

2008-02-08T10:22:00.000-08:00

The prostate is an endoctrine gland in the male reproductive system. A healthy human prostate is slightly larger than a walnut. It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder.

Inflammation of the prostate gland is called prostatitis. Antibiotics are usually the first step to treat this infection. Men with prostatitis usually have chills, fever, pain in the lower back and genital area, urinary frequency and urgency often at night, burning or painful urination, body aches, and an infection of the urinary tract, which is determined by a doctor finding white blood cells and bacteria in the urine.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a prostate disorder which causes urination to become difficult, due to its increase in size. This disorder can be treated by surgery to remove the prostate, or with medication. If men want to reduce prostate swelling, but do not want surgery, they can try taking an oral medication.
