Keeping Up With Your Prostate

Prostate cancer

is more common than many men want to believe. According to the Cancer Treatment Centers of America, "Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer found in American men, after skin cancer."  There are plenty of prostate supplements available to help you maintain your prostate health, saw palmetto being one of the most commonly used.

Saw Palmetto Extract - Wikipedia Definition

Saw palmetto extract is an extract of the fruit of Serenoa repens. It is rich in fatty acids and phytosterols. It has been used in traditional, eclectic, and alternative medicine for a variety of indications, most notably benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Of course, if you are experiencing symptoms of an enlarged prostate, such as frequent urination, waking up in the middle of the night just to use the bathroom, you should consult your physician. However, all men over the age of 35 should consult their physician about their recommendations to start maintaining proper prostate health. Aside from a saw palmetto based prostate supplement, I'm sure you have heard of the super prostate formula! Several companies use the super prostate formula to help decrease the frequent trips to the bathroom in the middle of the night, alleviating the frequent urination. Although no one could say that a prostate supplement, which is not approved by the FDA, could shrink the prostate, certain prostate supplements can help decrease the symptoms of an enlarged prostate.

When taking any type of prostate supplement, you should always consult your physician regularly. Self-diagnosing and treating yourself is never recommended. Here's some resources that you may find helpful:

How To Lose Weight

Losing weight is never easy and don't let anyone tell you that it is. You can search the web all night long for weight loss tips but you're never going to achieve anything unless you are willing to work hard. Forget the latest diets and magic pills and get ready to work hard. You have to be prepared to work hard both mentally and physically if you are ever going to achieve your weight loss goals. The first thing to keep in mind that the simplest and most efficient way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you are taking in. It's really that simple! If you are burning 1500 calories a day and only eating 1200 then you are actually burning 300 calories a day. If you do that each and every day, guess what. At that rate, you would lose about a pound every 11 days which is nearly 3 pounds a month. That's 36 pounds a year! If you work even harder, you can lose even more. Now, supplements can help but the point here is to not rely on them as your only means of losing weight. Now that you know how weight loss works, what are some good ways to get started? Walking should become your new best friend. There is no reason that you can't fit in about 20 to 30 minutes of walking each and every day. Cut out all the junk food and liquid calories such as soda and you can expect to lose even more weight. Gradually build up to jogging and then try intervals. If you are trying to lose an excessive amount of weight, be sure to mix in some resistance training such as free weights to ensure that you don't have loose skin when you reach your goal. Be sure to throw in a good multi-vitamin and get plenty of rest and you'll be on your way to a new and better body!

Are Liquid Vitamins Better?

Did you know that your body absorbs vitamins almost 80% more if taken in liquid form? Yes, studies have shown that when you take vitamins in their liquid form, your body is able to absorb the nutrients faster and in greater amounts. Think of your body as a tube filled with liquid. Now let's say you place a candy with a liquid center in the tube, acting as a traditional vitamin in pill form. As you watch the candy move through the tube, you'll start to see the top layers of the candy disintegrate. By the time the candy hits the bottom of the tube, it is worn down but not fully absorbed by the liquid in the tube. Now, let's say you broke the candy open and just let the liquid-filled center drip into the tube. You will immediately see the liquid from the candy being absorbed by the liquid in the tube! The same concept can be used when comparing liquid vitamins.Your body is able to absorb more of the vitamins when you take it in the liquid form. There are plenty of vitamins and supplements that are available in the liquid form. It is also common to find such vitamins in powder form which you can place in any liquid you desire, such as juice or water. I have even seen supplements which you can add to your coffee! Do your homework, there are plenty of online vitamin companies where you could find a full vitamin regimen to suit your daily nutritional needs!
