Prostate Trouble: Steps to Improving the Flow
The prostate, a gland the size and shape of a kiwifruit,
is hidden from sight within the lower pelvis of a boy and a man, causing
no notice until the later years of life. With the onset of puberty, male
hormones, especially dihydrotestosterone, cause the prostate gland to
grow and produce a slightly alkaline white fluid within which sperm live
and swim until ejaculated through the urethra. This short tube, the
urethra, passes from the bladder through the prostate gland and then
into the penis. Overgrowth of this gland’s cells as a man ages
constricts the urethra and results in problems in passing urine.

Holiday Meal Planning
This time of year, the
Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays frighten many
people who eat a healthy diet. They wonder how to
socialize with friends and how to prepare a meal in
their home. These two days are supposed to be the
largest feasts of the year. Yet in fact, both
dinners are the healthiest, most vegetarian-like,
most McDougall-like meals people eat all year long.
Traditionally, these holiday dinners consist of
mashed white potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, a
bread stuffing, butternut and acorn squash,
cranberries, and a variety of green vegetables,
including Brussels sprouts, carrots, cauliflower,
and green beans. For dessert, pumpkin pie ends the
feast. That's a cornucopia of starches and
vegetables. The turkey served is the leanest of all
common meats. The truth is that every other dinner
consumed by Westerners all year long is far richer
in fat, cholesterol, salt and sugar than is eaten at
these two traditional festivals. Therefore, if you
are a healthy eater you will find Thanksgiving and
Christmas the two most comfortable times of the year
to socialize with all of your family and friends. I
have laid out the menu, shopping list, and time
schedule so that you will be able to more easily
prepare a successful meal.
