Have you ever heard that 'nutrition is common sense?'

Have you ever thought about why United States has an epidemic of overweight individuals and kids that are out of shape? Or that most people talk about how in their younger days they were able to do this and that. Yet these people are only 30 years old?

Most people think nutrition is common sense. But these people are completely wrong.

You see, common sense isn't specialized knowledge, but just native good judgment. Many times common sense is when it comes to many things in life are learned behaviors from parents, teachers, mentors or coaches. We get at lot of this common knowledge thru what we see as well. Driving on right of left side of road is common sense in your country. You get this from what you see.

The REAL four biggest problems when it comes to nutrition and common sense is that:

1- You learn what to eat from T.V. How crazy is that? I don't think I've seen a good commercial about just eating right. It's always about diets, points, fad diets, crazy workout stuff or fast food. Many kids get plenty of T.V. They don't understand why sugar cereal isn't part of a complete breakfast.

2- You learn what you see at home. If you were a witness to a lot of healthy eating habits (fruits, vegetables, moderate portions) then you probably got a lot of your good eating habits from your parents or guardians.

3- You learn to finish everything that's put in front of you. Does it matter if your hunger was satisfied half-way thru meal? Or have you been told it was rude not to eat everything. You start to learn that finishing what's in front of you is more important then if you are hungry or not.

For years men who were experiencing physical and emotional changes assumed they were going through some sort of mid-life crisis. Researchers now suggest these men were probably experiencing something quite different, a male version of menopause.

While most men do not want to accept fact that very hormone that makes them a man is decreasing sobering truth is that as many as 25 million American males between ages of 35 and 55 are experiencing some degree of male menopause or Andropause. Andropause is characterized by decreased testosterone levels associated with normal aging process. Irritability, depression, lack of energy, reduced sexual function and libido are all classic signs of Andropause.

Risks Of Testosterone Therapy

Testosterone replacement therapy is primary treatment for men with lowered testosterone levels. This treatment is still quite controversial considering risks associated with this form of replacement therapy. Men and their doctors often weigh risk to reward when considering this type of therapy. Testosterone injections, while reducing Andropause symptoms may also increase stroke risk, liver toxicity, gynocomastia (Enlarged breasts) and temporary sterility.
