Men's Health Books

Very good short stories that are sometimes very funny or sad. The best book I've read in quite some time. Different both in content and writting style. Fast moving and current with today's world as seen through the eyes of our 'mature' citizens. "One Eyed Fat Old Men" has my recommendation, if you want to be entertained and perhaps enlightened a little on today's world as seen by others. A 'sleeper' good book from beginning to the very end! Love the pie recipe at the end...

This is a great guide on the hows and whys of eating for men. I have been following the diet myself and find it to be sensible and well founded. Not for the person looking for the latest fad. Ms.Kleiner is well educated and certified.She obviously knows what she is talking about and presents sound dietary advice . This book is all you need to learn how to eat right.

Healthy cooking is not easy. This book really helped in choosing the right combination in different seasons, for different people. There are 240 recipes and each of them includes breakfast, lunch dinner and snack. Helpful notes were listed at the side column of each page like Nutrition Notes, Kitchen Hints, Nutreient Bonus and Healthy tip of the day. In particular, the menus were separated into 3 parts for different calories required: 1500calories, 2000calories and 2500calories. Fat per gram were calculated as well. Seasonal foods and vegetables were used in ingredients and recipes were easy to make and follow... I do recommend this book in daily food planning.

The 3rd edition published in 2003 is out. Barnes and Nobel has it.Why don't you have it?

I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer in April 2005. My prognosis was very bleak, an inoperable T4 tumour, and I was expected to have only a few years of life left.
However, within a week of that shocking news I discovered the work of Prof.Jane Plant while researching this illness.

I am convinced that doing so saved my life. On hearing of her own successful fight against breast cancer I ordered her book, "Your Life In Your Hands" from Amazon.
Her thorough research and deep scientific knowledge shone out at me like a beacon and I immediately changed my diet and began following her recommendations to fight cancer.

The next week I bought "Prostate Cancer: Understand, Prevent, Overcome", and that book became my 'bible'.
I strictly adhered to the principles of Jane's strategy for battling prostate cancer, and my whole diet became based on the information and recipes I found in her other excellent book "The Plant Programme".

I have waited 3 years to feel confident enough to write this review, because now, after combining my oncologist's conventional medical treatment plan of hormone therapy and radiothery alongside my living by The Jane Plant diet, I have had a truly remarkable outcome.

On Tuesday 13th May 2008 my oncologist told me my latest test results. He was both amazed and delighted that having agreed I could stop all treatment 6 months ahead of schedule, my PSA was at a normal, low level (1.1ng/ml), my testosterone was that of any healthy male, and all this after 36 weeks of no anti-cancer drugs whatsover.

His words to me were: "Whatever you are doing...Don't change a single thing!".
I have no doubt at all that finding Jane's work really did save my life.

Thank you Jane, and to anyone out there who has just been diagnosed with PCa may I wish you a similar happy outcome, and I would urge you to take a look at thse books. I thank my lucky stars that I did.

A book about the prostate is worth zilch unless it minces no words. The author of this one is totally honest. That is what makes this one indispensable if you, like me and other millions, have prostate concerns. My problem is not (yet) serious or urgent but I find the book highly revealing and very helpful. And I now know if that is the case at this time, then if and when my Gleason Scale number goes up (see the book!) and I face surgery, the book will be a necessity to keep at my side. It sure does not read like a novel but it is Information with a capital I. The three key words in describing what Newt Malerman has written, are candid, informative, and helpful.

There's no hype in this book. Just the facts -- facts about everything. This just isn't about prostate cancer, but about all prostate problems. What I find useful is the easy to read, question and answer format. Actually, they ask questions I've never thought about -- but should. Great book. I recommend it to every man.

It doesn't get any better than this. What a great way to stay safe as you're staying fit. Dr. Colgan's program is right on the money with it's simple step by step approach. Why wait till the last minute with care for your prostate after it's way too late? I've read almost all of Dr. Colgan's books except the latest 3 that were only just released. Want to stay safe, enjoy a healthy sex life, and much else? Then I HIGHLY suggest that all males buy this book. Better yet,I think their wives' or girlfriends'or significant others' should buy this book for those men who they love. I don't like chemo or radiation or surgery, so better to follow this preventive maintainence program and live a long and healthy life. The problem with many men is that they're too busy thinking about what it costs to supplement oneself, yet they'll go out and buy many packs of cigarettes and many cases of beer which can lead to prostate problems. Too many men think with their pocket and their rocket,in an immediate sense, which they're only harming themselves in the long run. So following this program is like putting away money for a rainy day so you can enjoy your Golden Years-!

I am leary (and weary) of self help, so it is a great compliment that Dale Carnegie remains one self help author whom I greatly admire and always enjoy reading. This book, a forgotten classic, is as relevant today as it was 50 years ago. Carnegie understood the importance of voice and diction and public speaking, and this book is as good as any introduction to these topics as you are likely to find anywhere. Highly recommended.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading the short stories and poetry in this book. The word play and the subject matter worked well together in this anthology of work from the Punany Poet Artists.
