As you might remember from my last posting, I dug into a topic about the current status and struggle of masculinity in the American male psyche.  So when I came across an interesting article about a recent presentation at the most recent meeting of the American Psychological Association, I felt compelled to write a bit of a follow-up piece.

I am about to embark on a new stage of my life. It will no doubt change me; my lifestyle, my thought processes, and even the way I view the world. Hopefully for the better.

Many people, including nutritionist, still think that you cannot get enough protein without eating meat, fish, or chicken. But is this really true?  I don’t eat meat, I am in decent shape, my body is lean but not small.  I have good musculature and strong bones.  I walk/run 5 days a week, do yoga and lift weights at times.  I am always full of energy, don’t need too much sleep, unless it’s winter, then I hibernate. I am a over 80% raw and mostly Vegan.  Am I truly at a deficit if I am not eating animal flesh?   The question for me really is how much do “the experts” say we need, as apposed to how much we really need?  I  don’t have the answer, but if “the experts” are right, then I had better start eating MORE Spinach!

For those who do not regularly watch weekend news, what I am about to tell you may come to you as a surprise. Fox News has officially started a weekly Saturday segment dedicated to men’s health. Yes, it is incredible and a great first step toward educating the public about the prominent issues in men’s health. Few weeks ago, I had the privilege to sit down with Dr. David Samadi, who is also part of Men’s Health Network’s Board of Advisors. He ensured me that the segments will not dance around the issues just for TV entertainment, but it will cover great preventable advice along with giving the cliff notes of the subject manner. Still skeptic? Check out Dr. Samadi’s latest clips about preventing stroke and coronary heart disease on Fox News below, and then let me know what you think!
