For Men's Health


The following disease-fighting tricks may look insignificant as most of people will say they have no time to do, but never dismiss them, because they'll make you healthier, slimmer and stronger.

Tea Off in the Morning
Hot tea can slash your risk of kidney cancer by 15 per cent. Try pu-erh tea, which is better than green or black tea at preventing DNA damage.
Sleep Smarter
Too much sleep, or not enough can kill you. A British study found that getting more than 9 hours of sack time a night, or less than 6, doubles your risk of an early death from any cause. Aim for 7 to 8 hours a night.
Pop in Your Lenses Post shower
Soaping up while wearing your contacts can expose your eyes to infection-causing waterborne microbes.
Drink Wine, Stay Lean
Polyphenols, the compounds found in red wine, help your body block fat absorption. Red-wine marinades work, too.
Check Your Neck
A mildly underactive thyroid can boost your heart-disease risk by 65 per cent. A quick blood test can assess your level of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).
Lean Back
Parking your torso at a 90-degree angle strains your spine. Instead, give your chair the retreat treatment and recline the seat back slightly. The ideal angle is 45 degrees off vertical.
Scent Your Air Safely
Some air fresheners contain phthalates, compounds that may disrupt hormone processes. Stick with Febreze Air Effects.
Boost Your Defences
400 IU of vitamin D a day reduces your risk of an early death by 7 per cent.
Skip the Spray
Using household spray cleaners just once a week increases your risk of an asthma attack by 76 per cent, say Spanish researchers. Use wipes instead.
Steam Your Broccoli
Steaming broccoli increases its concentration of glucosinolates (compounds found to fight cancer) by 30 per cent. Boiling actually lowers the levels.
Stretch It OutGenes in your body linked to heart disease, diabetes, and obesity can be "turned on" if you sit for hours on end, reports a study in Diabetes. Hit the "off" button by taking hourly laps during TV, book, and Web sessions.

The key is that women should arm yourselves with information and knowledge to guard against this disease. It is never too early for you to get prepared. Here are some tips for you.

The radiation you get from a mammogram is minimal. Don't be afraid of going to the hospital. By doing this, you can find it early if you actually get this disease. If you do not catch it, you can always get some advices from the doctor on how to prevent it.
2.Don't eat too much
Study shows that fat people are more risky than others. Their chance of getting this disease is larger because of the extra fat in their body. So, eat properly and lessen the ingestion of fat. Eat more vegetables and fruits and try to keep your weight in average.

Smoking is extremely bad for people. Cigarette smoke causes chronic inflammation in your body, which in turn may lead to cancer. Do not ignore this warning, just like most people would do. Smoking can be very dangerous to you. If you do not get anything to do with breast cancer, you might as well quit it.
4.Exercises can be helpful
