Men's Health:8 Sorry wine lovers, but cardiologists have some sobering news for you... That glass of red wine ISN'T protecting your heart 🫀 That "heart-healthy" red wine you've been justifying? It's actually doing more harm than good. Here's the truth: ❌ You'd need to drink 100 LITERS of red wine daily to get enough of the “healthy” compounds for any real benefit (which would literally kill you) ❌ Alcohol is loaded with sugar - hello, beer belly! ❌ You know how studies claim moderate drinkers are healthier than both heavy drinkers AND non-drinkers? It's misleading. Sick people tend to quit drinking, making moderate drinkers appear healthier by comparison When researchers use advanced studies that eliminate statistical tricks, the truth emerges - alcohol risk is LINEAR. The more you drink, the worse it gets Bottom line: Red wine isn’t more healthy than other forms of alcohol. Your heart isn't getting any favors from your wine rack #MA #MH8

Men's Health:4 Let's dive into a topic that might not be commonly discussed but is essential for men's health: dry orgasms. While the subject might seem mysterious, it's crucial to shed light on what dry orgasms are and what they might signify. A dry orgasm occurs when a man reaches sexual climax, but little to no semen is expelled during ejaculation. Instead of the usual release, the sensation may be there, but the fluid isn't Dry orgasm can be caused by: - Surgery to the bladder or prostate - Use of certain medicines, including those used to treat high blood pressure, an enlarged prostate or depression - Nerve damage due to diabetes, multiple sclerosis, stroke, surgery or spinal cord injury - Radiation therapy to treat prostate cancer - Conditions where no sperm is made - A blocked sperm duct - Low testosterone You can also have a dry orgasm if you’ve recently ejaculated multiple times and your body has temporarily run out of seminal fluid If your dry orgasm is a one-off, there’s probably no need to be concerned. If you’re experiencing them more than that, see a doctor. Dry orgasms won’t impact your health but they can be a sign of an underlying health issue that needs to be treated. #MA #MH4

Men's Health:3 As a guy, you’re more likely to get type 2 diabetes at a lower weight than women. One reason is that men store more fat in their bellies. And more men than women have diabetes that’s undiagnosed; maybe it’s because men don’t see the doctor as often as women Diabetes puts both men and women at greater risk for heart disease, stroke, vision loss, kidney failure, even amputation of a toe, foot, or leg. But some diabetes problems hit guys directly below the belt Men with diabetes are three times more likely to have ED. Diabetes can lead to erectile dysfunction (ED) in a number of ways. - High blood sugar levels over time can damage the nerves that control erections. This can make it difficult for the penis to get and maintain an erection. - High blood sugar levels can also damage the blood vessels that supply blood to the penis. This can reduce blood flow to the penis, making it difficult to get an erection. - Diabetes can also lead to hormonal changes that can affect sexual function. For example, low testosterone levels can make it difficult to get an erection. If you are experiencing ED, visit your doctor. There are a number of treatments available that can help to improve sexual function. #MA #MH3
