TAMPA, FL -- All this week we're focusing on men's health leading up to an event where you can get free medical screenings.
We want you to meet a man who now knows a simple medical screening may have diagnosed his prostate cancer before the cancer had spread.
James West has a goal, to educate as many men as possible about medical screenings, so they never hear these words. "I walked in and so did he and he said you've got prostate cancer. I came home, cried and prayed."

As part of a new series: "Men's Health and Fitness" we explore safe and natural ways for men to stay healthy.
Not being able to perform in the bedroom can have a huge impact on your personal life as well as your overall health. Studies report that over 40 per cent of men over age 40 will experience poor erection quality or a decline in sex drive. Pharmaceutical companies are well aware that a man’s pride is his ability to perform in the bedroom and they charge outrageous prices for prescriptions. The price of one tablet can cost about $10 and many insurance companies don’t cover the cost of these prescriptions.

Ever since 1884, when Professor William Pencoast of Philadelphia's Jefferson Medical College requested a semen sample of his "best looking" medical student in order to impregnate the child-seeking wife of a sterile Quaker merchant, sperm donation has held out the promise of parenting to infertile spouses, choice mothers and lesbian couples. Unfortunately, a misguided offshoot of the men's rights movement has recently started to assert paternal rights for sperm donors. This effort, which threatens both to undermine the stability of families conceived with donor sperm and to deter other would-be parents from availing themselves of such opportunities, has slowly chipped away at the established legal and ethical principle that sperm donors, while they may provide the biological material for conception, are not fathers. Now the Irish Supreme Court -- in a ruling that defies both reason and modernity -- has set family law back a generation by granting de facto parental rights to one such sperm donor. Vigilance is needed to make sure that this noxious jurisprudential seed does not spread.

SCOTTISH men need to drop their macho attitude towards cancer and other diseases, a leading health charity said yesterday.
The warning came after figures showed that Scottish men are nearly twice as likely to die from cancer than their female counterparts.
It is widely accepted by health experts that men in the UK are less likely to seek advice for medical conditions. But with Scottish men 40 per cent more likely to die of cancer than females, campaigners are calling for an end to what they call the "Scottish problem" among the country's male population.

Guys Having It at Least Twice a Week Cut Risk of Serious Cardiac Woes Almost in Half, Research Indicates
(CBS) A new study in the American Journal of Cardiology finds that men who have sex at least twice a week can almost halve their risk of developing serious heart disease.
And sex may have other health benefits, as well, notes Dr. Holly Phillips of WCBS-TV in New York.
On "The Early Show" Friday, Phillips said the research, published in the American Journal of Cardiology, tracked more than 1,000 men for 16 years, 40- to 70-years-old, with no history of heart disease.

Paul Clements tries out Marks & Spencer's new male corset.
To look at me, you wouldn't say I was fat – at least, not to my face. But I am a little thicker around the waist than I ought to be. Like other blokes in their mid-30s, my beer belly is coming along nicely, and despite a subscription to Men's Health, I go up a trouser size every year. The last time I was weighed, I sneaked into the "acceptable" zone of the body mass index by a Wispa.
So Marks & Spencer's new male corset, part of a new range of "shapewear" for men, is aimed at people like me – something for the sporty but portly; those looking for a quick solution for fixing lumps and bumps.

HEALTH bosses have warned men in Redbridge to ditch their traditional 'stiff upper lip' attitude towards illness and go for regular check-ups with their GP.
NHS Redbridge - which has responsibility for community health care services in the borough - said that the reluctance of men to adopt a healthier lifestyle and go for regular check-ups was putting them at greater risk.
Recent figures published by the body show that men are 60 per cent more likely to develop cancer than women and 70 per cent more likely to die from it.

It’s not just women who struggle to keep their bellies flat. Men and women gain weight in different places, and men are actually more prone to packing on the pounds around the waist. In “Flat Belly Diet! For Men,” Prevention editor-in-chief Liz Vaccariello and D. Milton Stokes, MPH, RD, offer a diet and fitness plan specifically for men who want to shed weight around the midsection. Here is an excerpt from chapter one.
‘Flat Belly Diet! For Men:’ Chapter 1
It all starts with a few extra pounds around the waist. Next thing you know, you’re trading up for a larger pair of pants, then suddenly your paunch is hanging over your new, bigger pants.
