Experts argue that the lives of men are 3 main critical period – age 35 years 50 to 55 years and 65-70 years. These conventionally called peak years are associated with certain loads. – The load may be hormonal – Have you note that it is 35 (plus or minus 1 year) and at the age of 50 many men establish new families?
- The load may be social – should be made home to raise a child.
- The load may be psychological – approaching the half-century anniversary man and reviewed his life in balance. Often this condition is accompanied by stress and depression.
According to statistics, most men die as a result of cardiovascular disease – stroke, heart attack or illness caused by alcohol abuse. An additional factor is food high in fat, leading to blood clots and increase cholesterol – it is superimposed on the walls of the vessels and they lose their elasticity. Evidence suggests that about half of men after the age of 40 have difficulty with erections. Lately, more often than to consult a specialist and find the real cause of the problem, they resort to self medication and vote for who think will help them. This approach is totally wrong because the doctor would have sought the root cause of the problem and have tried to treat it, not its aftermath. Many men do not know that Viagra and other similar drugs it should only be prescribed by a doctor and that it is contraindicated in:
- Heart disease (coronary heart disease, heart rhythm disorders, hypertension, hypotension);
- Adoption of nitroglycerin and other preparations of this type for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases;
- Adoption of erythromycin and cimetidine – they enhance the action of the respective drug to overcome erectile dysfunction.

According to modern medical understanding of health has 3 main components: rational nutrition, physical activity and rational refusal of smoking. If one adheres to these principles, the data from the statistics show that they decreased by 2-3 times the risk of cardiovascular and cancer, which today are a major cause of premature death. Of course, in terms of overweight, there may be genetically determined disorder of fat metabolism, but it occurs earlier and is immediately noticeable. In most people, obesity is a consequence of Eating Disorders. All extreme diets that help overthrow the weight is not balanced and can be implemented quickly. However, this rule means a momentary effect. Most main meals at a reasonable approach. Health is primarily a sense of measure. Here are 10 steps that are proposed by scientists of our healthy eating. They had nothing sensational – they simply state the principles to which they must adhere to normalize weight and maintain their health longer possible.
Step 1: Healthy balanced diet should be based on a variety of products, mainly from vegetable rather than animal origin. There is no product that can provide our bodies all the necessary substances. The only exception is breast milk, which replaces the child until at least 6 months all other products. Therefore, nutrition must be as diverse. Observance of special diets is recommended only on a recommendation from a specialist.
Step 2: Bread, pasta dishes and potatoes should be eaten several times per day. Half the daily amount used, food must be covered by these products. Scientists do not agree that they are only a source of energy and carbohydrates. They also contain many other substances necessary for health: dietary fiber, mineral compounds, vitamins of group B and C. It is wrong and the opinion that these products contribute to the accumulation of fat. Indeed, the energy content of starch is much less than the same amount of fat or alcohol. Experts recommend to be used more bread, preferably whole-grain or black.

Many people believe that dentistry understand enough to assess the risks of one or another condition of the teeth and mouth. Therefore, there is more widespread “truths” turned into myths associated with the treatment and maintenance of teeth. We offer some of them.
1. Crushed aspirin tablets with alcohol or cotton affixed to the patient’s tooth, immediately remove the pain.
This is not even just a myth, a dangerous delusion. Scheduled chemicals onto the lining, her threaten to burn, which will be added to the toothache, which, of course, will not disappear.
2. Washing your teeth with baking soda is a great whitening agent.
Teeth whitening is a special procedure. Washing soda is equal to the use of sandpaper on teeth. Soda is a hard abrasive, which violates enamel and will soon send the dentist’s office.
3. After removal of tooth mouth should be rinsed as much as possible with more frequent disinfection solutions.
Rinsing is necessary, but better solution is to be retained in the mouth. If too often wash the wound can be washed clotted blood, which ensures the successful healing. So it is better this place is not touched at all and treated for 2-3 days.

The international team of scientists who carried out the study hope that detailed knowledge of the genome of the fungus Malassezia globosa (Pityrosporum ovale) will lead to more effective treatments that would block its reproduction. Fungus lives and feeds on human skin, itching and flaking causing which are associated with dandruff. It is estimated that about half of the population suffers from dandruff, as men are more susceptible to developing this condition. Chapter on the human hand, the average quantity of this type of fungus is about 10 million. Fungus itself is fed by the sebum, which is produced by sebaceous glands in the skin. Sebum serves to protect the body from external influences, and particularly with regard to skin and hair, it protects them from this to become too dry, brittle and fragile. It turns out that Malassezia globosa is one of the simplest organisms that have ever tracked genetically and its only 4285 gene is 300 times smaller than the human genome. It will own ability to produce fatty acids which are vital for life and therefore relies on human sebum to exist.
The role of enzymes
Recent studies indicate that the fungus causes dandruff by producing enzymes called lipase. First it uses lipase degradation of sebum, thereby creating oleic acid. It penetrates the upper layer of skin and causes faster separation of skin cells in susceptible, which is manifested in dandruff. Researchers found that the fungus produces a total of 8 species Lipases along with three phospholipase, which used to absorb fats from the skin.
