HEALTH

Health and peace of mind are among life's greatest treasures. Must of us may enjoy a fuller degree of physical health and none need lack of mental peace. The fact is obvious that on every hand we find suffering and disease, people are afflicted with all kinds of ailments, among which cancer, diabetes and diseases of the heart and blood vessels rank high. Increasing demand is made on the hospital services. As we become aware of the prevailing condition, we might well ask how can we avoid serious illness?
    A disease condition developes when we do not maintain health, disease is the absence of health. Thus, the physician combats disease, not so much by concentrating on the disease itself, as by seeking to restore health. It is recognized that the right approach to the problem of curing or avoiding disease, is to concentrate on restoring or maintaining positive health. Generally speaking, the same rules she follows in order to maintain health, her patients must follow in order to regain health though they will need to adhere even more strictly to nature's rules during the period of restoration. Any injurious habits should be corrected, so that bodily health is restored to the point where disease germs are simply unable to flourish.
     But we can build our health, with proper nutrition. The greatest single factor in promoting and maintaining health is proper nutrition. Without that disease is sure to appear. Right food forms the foundation for health while poor food forms poor nutrition.
There are many other factors to be considered, which includes exercise, fresh air, proper clothing, personal hygiene, and mental peace,but good is the greatest single factor.

Frequent masturbation

Frequent masturbation in young men is linked to higher risk of early prostate cancer , but it lowers prostate cancer risk for men in their 50s, a study shows. High levels of male sex hormones, or androgens, may increase a man's risk of prostate cancer . But different studies of this question, done in different ways, have reached different conclusions. To look at the question in a new way, a team of researchers  looked at whether men with more intense sex drives were at higher risk of prostate cancer.  About half the men got prostate cancer by age 60, and about half did not have cancer . The findings were surprising. Sexual intercourse did not affect prostate cancer risk. But frequent masturbation did -- in different ways, at different times of life.
