From a new authoritative report from the editors of the University of California, Berkeley Wellness Letter…

It’s time to for men to close the gap — learn how and why men are getting healthier, living longer, staying fit for life

Why do women outlive men? White American men live to age 75, on average, while white woman to 80. Black American men are even worse off, with a life expectancy of less than 70. This gap has been narrowing recently — but there’s room for improvement!

Can men ever catch up? Yes, they can. Because there is a lot of good news.

If you want to live a long healthy life, there’s a better chance for it now than ever before. It’s a good time to be a man, especially an older man. Our new report reveals how you can achieve optimal health . . . reduce your risk of heart attack, colon cancer, lung cancer, and other illnesses . . . stay active and energetic, build strong muscles and bones, and remain sexually active . . . and feel and maybe even look younger than your age.

Dear Reader:

For many men in your father’s and grandfather’s generation, growing older was something to dread.

It often meant premature death from a heart attack or stroke, failing eyesight, loss of teeth, reduced muscle strength and energy, weight gain . . . If your father and grandfather regularly saw a physician, the advice they most likely heard was to “take it easy” and not “ over-do” on the tennis court or at work.

But this is no longer true — or need not be. If you are 50 you are young these days. Your 60s and 70s and even 80s should be prime years. Some say 70 is the “new middle age.”

Heart disease and other conditions that once disabled men are now less likely to do so. For there have been incredible breakthroughs in medical treatments, new pharmaceuticals, and diagnostic tests that can predict disease and/or detect it early enough to prevent it or stop it in its tracks.

We know more about diet than ever—and most importantly we know that a healthy diet is a true key to longevity. And we know that a high fitness level and regular vigorous exercise are another true key.

The last twenty years have seen an upsurge in medical research, and much of it has been about prevention—from a new vaccine that prevents shingles and innovative ways of forestalling bone loss and restoring sex drive in men, to eye care that protects vision and dental care that has virtually made dentures a thing of the past.

And there’s new news almost every day.

Exercise, for example, is now known to reduce the risk of some cancers. Staying physically active is also one of the best ways of preserving mental function and forestalling decline. Regular walking is not only good for the heart but the brain.

Certain kinds of screening for cancer, particularly colonoscopy for colon cancer, have been shown to save lives. There are new ways to prevent heart attacks, and almost miraculous new treatments for cardiovascular disease.

There’s no shortage of health news, on the Internet, in the bookstore, on TV.
Information and misinformation, truth and myth, fly from person to person and from computer to computer pretty fast. How can you sort through all this “information overload” so that you can make informed decisions about your own diet, your own exercise program, treatments, medications, dietary supplements and preventive steps?

Fortunately there’s a new, authoritative, and up-to-date resource, from one of the most respected health institutions in the world, the School of Public Health at the University of California, Berkeley. You can turn to this resource for the latest evidence-based guidance on how you can live a longer, more active, healthier life. And you may preview this resource absolutely risk-free in the privacy of your home.

Introducing the new 2009
Men’s Health Wellness Report

With thousands of books . . . articles . . . advertisements . . . Web sites . . . magazine . . . and clinical studies published every day, no single person can keep up with all of the new developments in men’s health. It would be a full time job, and I am guessing you already have too much to do.

And, unless you are an M.D. yourself, do you really have the background to separate the good science from the hype?

That’s where the Wellness Report series from the University of California, Berkeley Wellness Letter can help save you time and money, while helping you live longer with optimal health and wellness.

Our editorial board, all M.D.s or Ph.D.’s or both, with impressive credentials in their specialties, conduct exhaustive searches of the medical literature on a particular topic—in this case breakthroughs in men’s health.

They then review the research to ensure that it’s based on scientifically sound methods. They confirm the accuracy and reliability of the findings. They judge its practicality and usefulness.

Next, our editors painstakingly convert medical jargon, formulas, and statistics into clear, plain English. I know you will find it fascinating reading. And helpful. Practical advice you can use right now—not speculation about possible future discoveries.

Here’s a small sampling of what you’ll discover in out just-published UC Berkeley Men’s Health 2009 Wellness Report:

• Has your waist measurement got anything to do with your health? Look here to learn what a man’s waist should measure, and when you should start worrying. Page 6.

• If you drink, you no doubt call yourself a moderate drinker. But do you know what the definition of “moderate” is? Page 22.

• Are all carbs bad? Or just some carbs? Should you be eating only “low-carb” foods? What about good and bad fats? The answers may surprise you. Page 7.

• Whenever you get a blood test, your doctor checks your PSA level to see if you have prostate cancer. This is a good idea, right? Well, things are more complicated than that. Read the latest. Page 31.

• If you are 65 or older and ever were a smoker, there’s one simple test you can get now that could save your life. No, it isn’t an all-body CT scan. See Page 8.

• You may have heard that taking zinc will improve your sex life, but that’s far from certain. Zinc has a few serious downside risks, unfortunately. Page 30.

• Men may have an advantage over women in one area of nutrition — they may more easily lower their blood cholesterol through dieting. Find out more about this on page 9.

• In assessing your risk for a health attack, there are some factors you can change and some you cannot. Can you name the ones you can change? Page 17.

• Finasteride, in use for years as a prostate drug to help control urinary problems, can also grow hair! Page 54. And now there’s welcome evidence it may help prevent prostate cancer. Page 32.

• When it comes to bone health, there’s a major risk factor for fractures which is unique to men. It’s a shortage of . . . Find out on page 42.

• Vaccinations are not just for kids. Some are absolutely essential for adult men. What are they, and how often do you need them? Page 9.

• Most sexually transmitted diseases are not only treatable but curable. Do you know which ones can be cured by antibiotics — and which cannot? Page 58.

• There’s a certain kind of athlete all men (and women) need to be — and can train to become. Care to guess what kind it is? See page 12 .

• There are condoms that work to block sexually transmitted disease — and condoms that do not. Do you know the difference? Page 59. How, exactly, should a condom be used? Page 60.

• Aphrodisiacs, herbs or drugs to improve erections and the pleasures of sexual activity, have been around for centuries. And there are many modern versions. But read this before you think of trying any. Page 51.

• Have you heard it’s a good idea to get a genetic test to predict colon cancer or even Alzheimer’s? Hold on. You’ll want to read this precautionary advice first. Page 15.

• There are some new ways to detect oral cancers, which are twice as common in men as in women, but your best bet for avoiding it is pretty simple. Page 40.

• You’d like to stay young and vigorous, and there are clinics that offer to help. But the anti-aging injections they offer usually involve hormones, and before even thinking of signing up, you should read about the risks. Page 56.

• Doctors often fail to talk to men about bone health — but just last year experts issued new recommendations specifically for assessing men’s bones. What should you do now? Page 42.

• Eating fatty fish two or three times a week will protect you heart. But what if you don’t? Consider these supplements, rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fats. Page 22.

• Maybe you’ve been taking vitamin E in hope of maintaining health or even reducing the risk of prostate cancer. But there’s a much better bet than a pill — foods. Find out which ones, Page 30.

The best buy in men’s health care today

Men are less likely to seek health care than women. They are more likely to die of injuries. More American men develop cancer and die from it than woman, and they do so at earlier ages. Men develop cardiovascular disease 10 years earlier than women on average. Men are less likely to believe that diet and exercise will help prevent disease.

As a man, maybe in the prime of your life, maybe in perfect health, maybe with some health problems already, you will find our 2009 Wellness Report on Men’s Health a great way to begin setting things straight. Even a routine consultation at your doctor’s office (and we are not suggesting that you fail to have this consultation) could cost $50 or more for a 10-minute visit.

But now, benefitting from the latest research breakthrough in men’s health’s (maybe including some advances your physician has not yet heard about) won’t cost nearly that much.

That’s because the University of California, Berkeley’s Wellness Report on Men’s Health 2009 costs just $19.95 — less than you would probably spend to take a friend out to dinner tonight.

And that’s what our new report costs only if you agree that it’s the most important — and valuable — men’s health guide you read this year.

If you don’t, it will cost you absolutely nothing, because you can…
