Men's Health Books

Lo compre para mi sobrino de once anhos, porque es un poco timido y le costaba trabajo preguntar las dudas que seguramente tenia. Pero con este libro creo que aclaro algunas de ellas y sin pasar la pena de preguntarle a su mama. Esta muy bien escrito, me gusto que el lenguaje es sencillo, de acuerdo a su edad. Definitivamente lo recomiendo para aquellas mamas que no tienen una figura masculina que les ayude a explicar los cambios que trae la adolescencia en los hijos varones.

I am a 58 year old gay man who has been obssesed with condom collecting for two decades now. This book even taught me a thing or two! A perfect gift for your own "Roughrider"!!

This book provides a lot of information regarding a subject where there has been little research. Easy to read.

Behavioral Kinesiology looks at the connection of energy flow (chi) through the body and health (both physical and mental). Simply put, when energy is blocked within the body system, an individual experiences fatigue, pain, poor concentration, and lack of creativity. However, by using the basic principles of energy flow used in acupuncture combined with the muscle checking techniques taught in applied kinesiology, the author has created a unique method to check for energy blocking activities. These activities range from ingesting food or drink that blocks or reduces energy in the body system to activities that create unseen lines inhibiting energy flow between various parts of the body.

Switched-On Living explains the basic concepts of behavioural kinesiology and details the author's muscle checking technique. This technique allows an individual to check for energy depleting or enhancing qualities of foods, beverages, or activities. The author also sets out some basic exercises that benefit and increase the natural energy flow within the body.

This small book has a great deal of useful information packed solidly into a compact review of the material.

Although there are many books on the market today intending to teach men how to take better care of the physical aspects of their hearts, this is the first book to provide that information as well as insights on how to care for the spiritual aspects of the heart. Written by a pastor and two cardiologists, the book shows the connectedness between the mind, heart, and soul in providing a balanced approach to good health.

Total Heart Health for Men has its strengths and weaknesses. Since it is written, obviously, for men, one of its strengths is that each chapter ends with a bulleted list of the key points that were covered; most men like to cut to the bottom line. Also, it has pragmatic information that can be put to immediate use: recipes that are easy to fix and nutritional; menus for planning a healthier eating fare; exercise routines for stamina and weight control; meditations and prayer plans for personal time with God; specific Scripture references for information on honoring the body as the temple of God; and stress-reducing suggestions for taking relief off a strained body system.

The book's key weakness is that the chapters often take too long to get to the point. There is too much back story. The illustrations drag out. The lessons about spiritual disciplines have a "sound" much like a sermon. Although the warnings against extramarital sex, improper business dealings, and other similar vices are valid, they come off too much like a lecture. Grown men prefer to have positive reinforcement, specific game plans for change, and concise and focused presentations. The book could have been trimmed substantially and benefited from a more rigorous editing.

Nevertheless, since the book's table of contents makes it obvious which chapters cover specific subjects, the reader can be selective and go directly to the material on exercising or nutrition or spiritual maturation. If read that way, it becomes a functional tool for better health and more peace of mind. -- Dr. Dennis E. Hensley, Christian Book Previews.com

This is a very good book if you are looking for a well-balanced discussion of the male hormone testosterone. The author writes with a sound fact-base and strives to give clarity to a subject that is often clouded by hype, scandal or just plain misinformation. If the book has a fault, it tends to be repetitive in places, citing far too many examples of testosterone replacement therapy working miracles in the lives of men with testosterone deficiency. Otherwise, a very interesting read.

This book is a must-read for all health care providers who "take pride in the philosophy that all persons receive equal treatment, regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, sexual preference, religion, age, or ability to pay." it "uncovers the roots of these problems, explores how prejudices have become institutionalized, and offers viable solutions for real change." for members of the G/L/B/T community, much of this book is not going to come as a surprise, but it is still enlightening reading with a huge list of references, and draws both on hard data and narrative health care experiences from G/L/B/T folx. highly reccomended

So you think the barber will talk your child out of a crazy haircut. Have we got news for you! Will gets a haircut and rushes off to his last day of school. See the reactions to his new 'do and watch a Mom accept him for who he is.

I read this book in one day...I couldn't put it down. After reading this book I was discussing it with one of my guy friends and he told me that he was actually on the down low. I suspected him long ago but after reading this book...I knew and he came clean and told me. We had a lot to talk about and this book helped me understand him and what he was going through. I was truly educated.

This book is an eye opener I think young men and women should read this book to become aware of what is going on in todays society.

Sounds like this King character is nothing more than an opportunist. I find it amazing 1) that he only decided to talk about this AFTER he had been caught/exposed; 2) that he does not condemn the behavior, and his only words of encouragement to those practicing such behavior is to "protect yourself". Even though his secret has been discovered, what says he has stopped this foolishness? Remember, he claims to have had these tendencies since he was a teen, and first acted on those tendencies when we was 19 years old! The message that he is sending is LOUD and CLEAR...He does not condemn the behavior and has no problem exploiting it for gain -- a book first, and now a "tour" with his ex-wife? Wake up PPL...He claims to be a God-fearing man, so what is Godly about the position and stand that he has made?...The Bible has a word that describes people like J. L. King;

2 Peter 2:12-15 But these, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption, 13 and will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime. They are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions while they feast with you, 14 having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. They have a heart trained in covetous practices, and are accursed children. 15 They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

Every woman need to read this, If we pay attention the signs are their this is a manual for all ladies to live by...

This book was Okay. I commend J. L. King for bringing this subject to light, however sometimes I felt as if he were bragging about his activities. The down low is disgusting and nothing to brag about. When women discover their significant other is sleeping with men, it is very devastating. In additon to this book I recommend [[ASIN:0981544320 The Straight-Up Truth About The Down-Low: Women share their stories of betrayal, pain and survival]. "The Straight-Up Truth About the Down-Low", gives an honest portrayal of what really goes on in the down-low lifestyle. In addition it gives all of the warning signs and true stories told by women who experienced this betrayal. Any woman who wants the true story should get the book by Joy Marie.
