Men’s Issues, Are We Disposable? Video

I’m not buying it all , but an interesting and thought provoking viewing.

What are men’s issues? Watch this short flash video to get a beginning concept. Societal forces like chivalry, misandry and the onerous male sex function of give and shield have been having the unfortunate consequence of obscuring the demands of guys. This brief video will give you an introductory glimpse of some men’s issues. Some resources: Fiebert Bibliography examines examines 282 scholarly investigations: 218 empirical studies and 64 critiques and/or analyses, which demonstrate that girls are as physically aggressive, or much more aggressive, than men in their relationships with their spouses or male partners.

The Physiology Of Willpower: Where Does Discipline Come From?

Willpower is the key to much that’s good in life. Willpower is what makes us save for the future rather than splurge now. It helps us to keep our heads down, studying and working when we really don’t feel like it, to earn that degree or promotion. Willpower allows us to say no to that tempting cigarette, extra dessert, or second glass of whiskey — and to hop on the treadmill. And, of course, failures of self-control can sabotage all those goals. Continue Reading →

Why Our Unconscious Rules Us and What to Do About It

One of the common denominators of people who enter therapy is the feeling of being “stuck” in some way. Often there is the feeling of not being able to break out of a set of behaviors, feelings or thoughts. People know “it should be different,” but can’t seem to get things to really change for themselves. Their moods may come and go, but somehow they keep slipping back into old patterns. Regardless of the number of accomplishments, feelings of not being good enough still arise. Regardless of how spiritual, feelings of anxiety emerge. Regardless of how hard they try, up comes the sense of being out of control. So where do these feelings generally come from? The simple answer is from the memories that form our unconscious mind.

47 Ways To Boost Brainpower Now: Chocolate, Power Naps, Sex …

What do chewing gum, laughing, and lifting weights have in common? They all benefit the brain in a big way. Follow these 47 guidelines to make hitting genius status a no-brainer.

Fitness

1. Aerobic Exercise: Read books, study hard— and do jumping jacks? There’s a ton of researchon the link between exercise and cognitive function [1]. And aerobic exercise seems like an especially great way to make it to MENSA— one study showed adults’ brain-processing speed improved after half an hour of moderate exercise. Do the brain a favor and get moving!

2. Listening to Music While Exercising: Pitbull, Lady Gaga, or old-school Madonna, pumping up the jams while working out can improve cognitive functions. In one study, cardiovascular rehabilitation patients performed better on a test of verbal fluency than those who worked out sans tunes [2]. Or maybe just waltz your way through a workout— other studies suggest listening to classical music can improve spatial processing and linguistic abilities [3]. A way to work the brainand the muscles? Now that’s music to our ears.

3. Strength Training: Bulk up the brain and hit the weight room. Research suggests strength training not only builds strong muscles and bones— it can also boost cognitive functioning. That’s because lifting weights may increase levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which controls the growth of nerve cells.

4. Dance: Bust a brain-boosting move on the dance floor this weekend. Research suggests dancing involves mental challenges like coordination and planning. Duh— has anyone ever done the Macarena? Continue Reading →

Heart Attack Grill Customer Suffers Heart Attack While Dining On ‘Triple Bypass Burger’

How ironic?

According to amateur video and a report from Fox 5 Vegas, a man suffered from a heart attack while dining at Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas. He was eating a Triple Bypass burger at the time of his cardiac arrest. The unnamed man is reportedly alive and recuperating.

The restaurant’s now sadly predictive name was coupled with the even more unfortunate slogan, “Taste Worth Dying For.” The incident comes just of one year after the death of the Heart Attack Grill’s 575-pound, 29-year-old spokesman.

The Vegas owner of Heart Attack Grill, “Doctor” Jon Basso — who is not actually a doctor — first thought the man’s cardiac arrest was a joke, but soon phoned 911. Basso told Fox 5, “I actually felt horrible for the gentleman because the tourists were taking photos of him as if it were some type of stunt. Even with our own morbid sense of humor, we would never pull a stunt like that,” he said. Huff Post

Sore Muscle Remedies That Really Work

People do some crazy stuff to get rid of their post-workout muscle pain, which is known in the medical community as DOMS — for delayed onset muscle soreness. DOMS occurs when an exercise causes stress to muscle tissue. The tissue develops microscopic tears, causing inflammation and then pain that begins to mount in the 24- to 48-hour period that follows a workout. Continue Reading →
