Married men live longer, study shows ......

Married men are mentally and physically more healthy than single men, and therefore live longer, according to a new study.

Marriage might be the end of a man's single life, but can lead to a longer life overall, latest research suggests.

A report by the US Centers for Disease Control and Preventionfound married men were more likely than single men or those living de-facto to have visited a doctor over the last 12 months.

Moreover, married men were more likely than their cohabiting counterparts to schedule a checkup for blood pressure or screening for diabetes.

Researchers suggested the phenomenon could be due to persistent reminders from loved ones to take better care of their health.

"When men have the means to access health care, spouses may play a role in their use of health care by directly encouraging men to seek preventive care and by indirectly evoking in men a sense of economic and social obligation to the family," the authors said.

"The results suggest that cohabiting partners do not play a similar health-promoting role."

The research is the latest in a string of studies highlighting positive health effects from marriage, at least for men. Harvard researchers last year found that marriage had a positive impact on the diagnosis, use of definitive therapy and mortality rate of male cancer patients.

For females however, the health implications of marriage were less clear. "The benefit associated with marriage was greater in males than females for all outcome measures analysed," the Harvard report said.

A healthy lifestyle adds 10 years to your life ..............

Researchers at the University of Zurich have for the first time broken down the effects of leading a healthy lifestyle into numbers. The comprehensive 30-year study looked at the World Health Organisation's four behavioural risk factors for conditions such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and chronic respiratory disorders.

Researchers compared the tobacco, fruit and alcohol consumption, as well as physical activity levels, of 16,721 people aged 16 to 90 from 1977 to 1993, and studied the impact of their lifestyle on participant death rates up to 2008. Unsurprisingly, cigarettes have a detrimental effect on mortality rates, with smokers having a 57 per cent higher risk of dying prematurely. An unhealthy diet, not enough physical activity, and alcohol abuse can each result in an elevated mortality risk of around 15 per cent.

When all four risk factors are combined, the prospect of an early death increases dramatically. For example, the probability of a 75-year-old man with all risk factors surviving the next 10 years is 35 per cent; without the risk factors, there is a 67 per cent chance he will live for another 10 years. For women, these percentages are 47 and 74 per cent respectively.

Poor lifestyle choices, however, had little effect on death rates until people made it to the 65 to 75 age bracket, when the death rates of smokers, the physically unfit, and people with poor diets started to rise dramatically, said Dr Brian Martin, who led the research group.

Three Supplements Dr. Oz Would Never Take ........

Dr. Oz has made it his mission to clarify what vitamins are essential for us, including what the proper dose is and how they should be taken. Click here to view Dr. Oz’s Ultimate Supplement Checklist. While it can seem that all supplements promise to enhance our health, that’s simply not the case. Read on to discover the 3 supplements Dr. Oz would never take – and recommends that you avoid.

While shopping for vitamins, it can seem like there are supplements, natural therapies and herbal strategies for every possible body ailment. Exercise caution while shopping for supplements. Here are 3 supplements stocking the shelves that Dr. Oz would never take.

Bitter Orange
Taken in the hopes that it can boost weight loss or relieve allergies, $21 million worth of bitter orange was sold last year. However, it can cause heart attack, stroke or even death. Bitter orange contains a stimulant similar to ephedrine, banned by the FDA in 2004 after 2 people died and several suffered heart attacks or strokes. This was the first time the FDA banned an herbal supplement and bitter orange has many similar chemical properties.


Lobelia
Also known as asthma weed, people take lobelia seeking a relief from symptoms of asthma and bronchitis. But lobelia can cause rapid heart rate and a high dose can cause severe low blood pressure, coma or even death.

Yohimbe
This sexual enhancement supplement had sales up to $14 million last year. Men and women alike try it as an aphrodisiac, while some men also take it for erectile dysfunction. Yohimbe can cause serious heart problems, including high blood pressure and rapid heart rate, and it may contain a prescription-strength chemical that should only be taken under a doctor’s supervision. Nearly 20 years ago, the FDA issued a warning about the adverse side effects of yohimbe.

It is important to remember to exercise caution when taking any form of supplement. Make sure to read labels carefully and discuss with your doctor, especially if you are already taking any prescription medications.
