At one point in our lives, simply splashing water and soap on our faces was enough. However, like other parts of our bodies, aging makes our skin harder to keep looking good once we start to become older. Now, in my early 40's I'm starting to realize that. Looking at my face there are lines and wrinkles that remind me of my age every time I look in the mirror. Where did the time go?!?

The immune system is incredibly intricate and must be robust and balanced to fight infections and illnesses. However, it should not be overactive, as that could lead to complications like autoimmune disorders and allergies. Healthy habits can improve your body's immune system and help you stay strong even when you are constantly on the move. At first glance, your immune system might seem like it only steps in when you are sick. In reality, a strong immune system works so seamlessly that you might not even notice it. But when things go wrong, the consequences can be severe.

We all want our skin to be free of imperfections, sadly, that just isn't the case for most men. Between acne scars and fights that are part of almost every man's youth, scaring has almost become a badge of honor. Indeed, some scars are even considered a sign that you've survived the battle and are now even stronger and more fearsome. Unfortunately, that's not always the image we want to present to those around us. Thankfully there are now some good options to fix those blemishes.

The prostate is well, a sensitive area that most men don't want to talk about. However, it is a critical part of our body and so it's important to both get it checked as well as work to keep it healthy and operating correctly. That's why I like to support men's health efforts to raise awareness and create a conversation around it. Apparently so does Bill Engvall, so we got the opportunity to chat about why this is important to him recently.

Body hair won’t stop growing on a man’s anatomy. It will grow on the female body, but at least the ladies know how to keep most of their body hairs in check. 

There are tons of options when it comes to protein powder, but most guys don't know about the different types and uses for them. In this blog post, we'll discuss four things that you may not have known about protein powders: what they're made from, how to choose a type for your needs, the benefits of using a vegan option, and why they can be handy during travel.

When it comes to men’s health issues, there is one area that, to many, is still deemed taboo. Masculinity is often defined by virility and the strength of our erections. It's part of art and culture since pre-history and modern men (and women) will continue this tradition despite what media and well-meaning individuals might try to suggest. VitaFLUX is a new solution that is FDA approved and the makers say can be used alongside other medicines designed to treat erectile dysfunction.

When it comes time for bed, every man dreads their lover telling them she ‘has a headache’. It may be a cliche, but we’ve all heard it at some stage. Instantly, the mood comes crashing down, and you know you’ll sleep unsatisfied for that night at least.

One of my challenges with managing this site over the past decade is that the concept of a "guys weekend" tends to evoke images of wild, balls to the wall partying when in fact that's just one way to go. As I've gotten older however, I've discovered that many of my friends either choose not to drink, or unfortunately have discovered that they have problems with various substances. This can prove to be challenging initially when planning an awesome getaway, but it doesn't have to.

How hard it is to overcome the stereotypes that often struck our mind in the initial stages. CBD products have been fighting the stereotypes and misconceptions that people have had for a long time. It is true that CBD oils are extracted from cannabis plants, also known as hemp but consuming CBD products is not the same as consuming THC through smoking or otherwise ingesting marijuana. Unfortunately, this close association has caused a lot of misinformation over the years and hindered professional medical research into the legitimate applications for CBD in terms of health and wellness.

Flax seeds have long been hailed as a superfood, offering an impressive array of health benefits for men. While their positive effects on prostate health often steal the spotlight, this tiny seed goes above and beyond in improving various aspects of male well-being.

CBD seems to be the modern answer to everything from anxiety to headaches and I've seen the benefits personally so I'm an advocate for it's continued use. However, what was once a simple landscape involving mostly just creams and oil has blossomed into a complex market with vaping pens, gummies, tincture, and others. This explosion is driven by savvy consumers looking to fit this "miracle product" into their lives in a way that works best for them. Let's take a look at some of the different ways that you can consume CBD today...

To the uninitiated race fan, it might seem like a top NASCAR driver like Matt Kenseth is simply doing what we all do every day - just a whole lot faster. While it's true that he's driving a car, there's a lot of training and physical fitness involved that makes him and his crew able to do the amazing feats you see them do on race day. For instance, in some turns a driver will experience 3 G's of force - making a 160 pound driver weigh 480 pounds in a turn. On top of this, the in-car temperatures can reach 120 degrees and yet they still need to be alert and able to response with lightning quick reflexes as they race around the track at up to 200 mph. 

Your eyes are important - that shouldn't be a surprise to anyone but sometimes it's easy to forget to take care of them. While traveling, this is especially important when visiting harsh environments that are extremely hot, dry and dusty such as the desert. 

If you or someone you know is celebrating a sobriety anniversary, why not commemorate the special occasion with a party? Sobriety anniversaries are important milestones in an individual's life and should be celebrated! Read on for some creative ideas to make the celebration memorable.

Fitness experts say that for good health you should walk at least 10,000 steps each day. I registered more than 8,000 today at the Chicago Auto Show and that seemed like a lot. Will 10,000 really help me though?

For many people, the discussion of prostate health and in particular prostate cancer is something that is typically the domain of older men. However, young men get prostate cancer too. This is an important thing for men of all ages to understand since symptoms and screenings for prostate cancer are generally not aimed at helping men as young as 20 who can get it too.

Skin care is something most men neglect until you experience a problem. However, your skin is actually your largest organ, and its health directly affects everything else. If your skin is dry and cracked, you open the body to infections that can easily spread. The best way to care for this organ is to give it regular TLC, even for us guys. While we all know we need to wash our face, good summer skin care goes much deeper.

Plenty of people assume that you should lift weights to gain muscle mass rather than lose that extra flab and get leaner; it’s not like bodybuilders are exactly light on their feet.

While many people imagine bronzed God-like creatures oiled up and getting themselves in all different sorts of odd postures, there's more to being a bodybuilder. It's a way of life and indeed a lifestyle that while it might look silly to outsiders is taken seriously by those looking to achieve what they feel is the ideal masculine physique.
