Fortified Foods In Moderation Add Nutrition

In our tough economy, my patients frequently ask me how they can keep their nutrition up and their food costs down especially when it seems that the healthiest foods are the most expensive. They ask me about including fortified foods in their diet as a way of getting the most nutritional bang for their dwindling food bucks. Like my patients, you may wonder about the value of adding fortified foods to your diet. Allow me to explain and give you some recommendations and cautions about adding fortified foods to your diet.

Hypnosis: It Isn’t Just Hocus Pocus!

Some of my patients struggle with health issues due to unhealthy habits such as drinking too much, smoking, overeating the wrong foods leading to high blood sugar and cholesterol levels, nail biting, etc. In order to help them gain control of their health-diminishing habits, I sometimes refer them to a medical hypnotherapist.

Depression in Men Common in Middle Age

A number of my over 40 aged male patients have come to me with concerns that they just don’t feel right but can’t quite put their finger on what exactly is wrong. They have a hard time sleeping, no energy, don’t enjoy friends or relationships like they used to, don’t feel like doing much and just slug through their day, not really feeling sick, but just feeling, like one of my patients describes, “underwater”. When I tell these male patients that they may be suffering from depression, they’re surprised, and, as one man said, ‘I thought depression was a woman thing.’ Depression is also a guy thing too.

Yes and that is to spend a little time in the kitchen! No, not weight training with the appliances, rather, spending some time preparing the correct type of foods that will help you build muscle from the inside out. Let me explain how.

The Coffee Controversy: Health Benefit Or Hazard?

Many of my patients love coffee as I do – the smell, the taste, the pick up it gives, but they frequently ask me if it’s bad for them and if they should cut down on the amount they drink. Perhaps you love your coffee too and are wondering the same thing. You’ll likely be as surprised as my patients are when I tell them that research has shown that several cups of coffee a day have some amazing health benefits! But like most good things, coffee also has a few drawbacks. Let me explain.

The Facts About Hormone Replacement For Men

Although most of my patients who try natural testosterone enhancement report that those measures have helped, they may not have been enough to boost testosterone levels high enough to relieve their particular symptoms. The same may be true for you, and like my patients, you may now want to try direct testosterone supplementation through your doctor. In order for you to make an informed decision, here are the pros and cons that I explain to my patients about male hormone replacement.
