Many Americans will try to lose weight this year and several will fail. This failure frequently occurs because of the difficulties of changing one’s lifestyle, and I finally learned why. Lifestyle changes can be a great boost to one’s self-esteem and it can be a simple process as long as the change is incremental. Changing your diet should also be a simple process as long as the dieting process is not so strict that you will have difficulties following through.

Q:I have been diagnosed with a large prostrate. What can I do to help this condition?
A: As men age, we become increasingly aware of health issues that are specific to us, stemming from that walnut-sized gland located under the bladder: the prostate. It can become infected and inflamed, causing prostatitis; increase in size, causing benign prostatic hyperplasia; and/or it can become cancerous. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among American men. It affects one in nine men, and the average age of diagnosis is 66 years old. It is commonly understood that even if a man is not diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime, he will die with it to a greater or lesser degree (it just may not be the cause of his death).
