Things You Didn’t Know About Your Body

Men Journal has come up with aninteresting little list highlighting some of the world’s most amazing, practical, and powerful health tips for men.

Some of the catagories covered are:
NUTRITION - Eat cheap tuna. More expensive canned albacore “white” tuna has been found to contain as much as three times the mercury of canned “light” tuna.

FITNESS - Never run at a speed that you could walk. Studies of health club members have shown that treadmill runners experience less caloric burn and greater stress on their joints while running slow than when walking fast. The switch-over point: 5 to 6 mph.

SERIOUS MEDICAL ISSUES - Early Warning Any problems in bed? Still waking up with an erection? How’s the rigidity been? Depending on your answers to those questions, you may want to talk to your doctor about scheduling a heart exam. Two recent major medical conferences have held seminars on the use of the penis as an early detection tool for heart disease. It has to do with the parallels between the two popular body parts: The same cholesterol plaque that impedes coronary arteries can also block arteries in the penis. The difference, as you see here, is that penile arteries are a lot smaller, meaning the effects of any blockage are likely to show up that much sooner.

SEX - You may want to take that laptop off your lap. Portable computers can heat up to 158 degrees inside. After an hour, that can raise the temperature of your testes by 3.6 degrees, nearly twice what it takes to harm fertility.

GROOMING - For puffy eyes after a rough night try this trick long used by hard-drinking Hollywood action stars: Soak cotton pads in witch hazel, freeze until cold, squeeze out the excess liquid, and place on your lower eyelids until you’re back to looking the part.

ADVENTURE MEDICINE - If you injure your knee you can duct-tape a sleeping pad (assuming you brought a sleeping pad) around the knee and then slightly inflate the pad.

MISCELLANEOUS - Don’t use hydrogen peroxide to clean a wound. Those bubbles are caused by a chemical reaction that kills important cells you need to heal. Instead, just opt for soap and water.

and much, much more. Go here to read the rest.
