Since it is Movember, let’s talk about another common health hazard, excess fat. Not just the infamous “beer belly” (a source of pride for many guys) but visceral fat, the fat that is packed tight around your internal organs. This fat is a killer! However, because it isn’t seen from the outside of the body, itContinue reading “It’s not just a beer belly, it’s toxic waist”

Why do so many guys neglect their health?
Since this is “Movember“. a full month dedicated to improving mens health, we’ll take a good look at these things.

Toxic thought is dangerous to your health and life
Unless you are living under a rock, you see and hear this poison every day. On the Internet, hate is at epidemic proportions. In traffic, people are ready to kill others because they don’t like how they drive. People are seething with rage, bitterness, and vengeful thoughts. Even if they don’t act out those thoughts,Continue reading “Toxic thought is dangerous to your health and life”
