Manage stress.
Manage illness Men: We're talking heart disease. Hypertension. Back pain. Prostate cancer. Erectile dysfunction. Testicular cancer. Diabetes. With "Men's Health" magazine, we bring you solutions to maximize your well-being.
Cancer is the original terrorist. Its sleeper cells wait until an appropriately random moment and then begin to mutate and multiply. Other illnesses, such as hypertension, can be equally capricious, plotting their attack for decades, until one day -- boom! -- it feels as if a bomb has been detonated in your brain. Time to worry? Yes. And no. As with al-Qaeda, the fear of a terrorist attack can be as damaging as the attack itself. For example, the psychological stress of worrying about, say, prostate cancer has the physiological effect of increasing cortisol levels. A key stress hormone, cortisol plays a critical role in the body's fight-or-flight response to danger. But like always being at orange alert, too much cortisol released too often can wreak its own havoc -- especially in men. When Arizona State University researchers exposed middle-aged and older men and women to the same type and level of stress, they discovered that the men pumped out significantly more cortisol. But here's the disturbing part: Elevated cortisol levels have been linked to increased risk of heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and, coming full circle, prostate cancer. Bottom line: These diseases don't even have to attack to win. So if worrying is dangerous, and not worrying at all is dangerous, too, what's the answer? Take action. Not only will you feel more in control, which will dramatically lower your stress levels, but you'll also be taking the fight to the terrorists, rather than waiting for them to attack, resulting in a frantic 911 call. To that end, we've plotted out the following plan for preventing, detecting and treating some of the worst threats to your health and well-being. Think of it as your body's Department of Homeland Defense, minus the government bureaucracy.
