The Harvard Medical School Guide
to Men's Health
A Men's Health Book
The Harvard Medical School Guide to Men's
Health is the ultimate in men's health
information, assembled into a single volume
containing a quarter-century's worth of hard-won
knowledge about men's health... knowledge that
men need to lead longer, healthier, more vigorous
lives. With results taken from Harvard studies
of more than 96,000 men, this all-in-one men's
health book features the best and most current
information on the behaviors, foods, and preventative
activities that make - and keep - men healthy.
Men's Health Information
In Part I, author Harvey B. Simon, M.D., puts
men in the best position to evaluate breaking
news about health risks and scientific breakthroughs.
Through sections devoted to hormones, testosterone
and the life cycle, reproductive anatomy, metabolism,
muscles, and bones, Dr. Simon reviews the unique
health needs of men and explains why women live
longer than men, and how men can catch up. Then,
describing the three leading causes of death
in American men - coronary artery disease, stroke,
and cancer - he discusses the risk factors involved
and preventive measures that can be taken for
each.
What keeps men healthy? In Part II, Dr. Simon
answers that question and includes a program
for staying well, based on diet, exercise, diet
supplements, and behavior modification, with
information on newsworthy developments.
Then, discussing what can go wrong, Dr. Simon
zeroes in on male-specific diseases - including
prostate disease, erectile dysfunction, and kidney
problems - and others that affect men differently
than women.
"Dr. Simon's men's health guide reads like
a novel," enthuses David S. Rosenthal, M.D.,
past President of the American Cancer Society. "It
is logical, it is scientific and it poses all
of the questions men should ask or are asking.
Dr. Simon combines science with humor and wit.
...Every man needs to read this book."
Harvey B. Simon, M.D. is a physician at Massachusetts
General Hospital and associate professor of medicine
at Harvard Medical School.
