ONE OF THE WORST THINGS you can do to your body is do nothing at all. Being sedentary can do a number on your body – and it can be more dangerous than you might think. Adding to previous research of its kind, authors of a study found that more than 300,000 people saw that being sedentary was a major health hazard. Yet they also estimated that exercising a little bit – the equivalent of a 20-minute brisk walk daily – could reduce the risk of premature death in inactive people by as much as 16 to 30 per cent. Globally, 1 in 4 adults aren’t moving enough, according to the World Health Organisatio ..read more

IN AN ATTEMPT to pick up some olive oil at the grocery store, chances are you’ve accidentally grabbed a bottle of grapeseed oil once or twice. The two look nearly identical, often similarly packaged. And, you probably already know how great olive oil is for you, with its heart health and anti-inflammatory benefits. But what about the less-prevalent grapeseed oil? It turns out that there’s a lot to love about this type of liquid gold, too. High in omega-3s and vitamin E, and low in saturated fats, grapeseed oil can do wonders for your brain and your ..read more

THERE WAS ONCE a time when it seemed like every guy had a bottle of multivitamins stashed in his kitchen cupboard. Doctors and dietitians, after all, recommended the pills for shoring up a poor diet. And they at least couldn’t hurt, right? Well… We asked two experts for their take on the multivitamin debate. Here’s their answers. Should men take multivitamins? The Expert: Michael Roizen, M.D., Chairman of the Wellness Institute at Cleveland Clinic The Stance: Yes. Multivitamins have promising long-term and reproductive perks. I take a multivitamin every day—a ..read more

LOSING WEIGHT IS hard. From the diet changes to the ramped-up workouts, it can take a serious overhaul of your lifestyle. And usually, the goal is to decrease body fat and increase muscle. But sometimes in that quest, you can start to lose muscle instead of fat—and that’s not a great scenario. “It is bad to lose muscle instead of fat, because muscles are the key players in body movement and function,” says Gerardo Miranda-Comas, M.D., Assistant Professor of Rehabilitation Medicine, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. “With loss of muscle mass, stren ..read more

WHEN HE WAS 22, David Mzee was living a remarkably active life. “My life was all about sports,” he tells Men’s Health. “I’d been studying human movement sciences and I did every sport that I could get my hands on.” Sport was everything to Mzee. He studied it during the day and played it during the night. But that all changed in the blink of an eye. “I only realised after my accident, how active I really was,” he says. In 2010, during a routine training session at a gym in his native country of Switzerland, Mzee attempted a basic somersault – something he’d pulled off countless times beforehand ..read more

BY THIS POINT, it should be common knowledge that the factors that impact sexual performance aren’t isolated to what happens in the bedroom. Thanks to the advent of the internet, we no longer need to rely on awkward sex-ed classes at school – or worse, our parents – for information on sex. Because of that, knowledge of how certain lifestyle factors like stress, dietary intake and disrupted sleep can impact sexual performance are only ever a quick Google search away. Yet, there’s less information on the role of recreational activities in impacting sexual performance – and they certainly aren’t ..read more

THE SPORTS MOVIE has been part of the film landscape for about as long as moving pictures have existed. We watch live sports to an almost religious degree, so why not devote the same energy to narrative stories (both fictional and nonfictional) being told in the same way? The ‘sports movie’ genre doesn’t get as much conversation as, say, ‘action’ or ‘horror’ for one simple reason: most of the time, the stories are pretty telegraphed, pretty predictable, and pretty redundant. There’s one key way to change that, though – with a movie that’s, yes, about a sport… but also about ..read more

IF YOU NEEDED another excuse to grab your clubs and head for the green, consider this it. Research out of the University of Missouri has concluded that golf is a sure-fire way to reduce your stress levels. For the study, scientists followed 5,900 adults over a period of 10 years. At the end of the trial, those who played golf at least one per month had halved the risk of an early death compared to those who didn’t. They also had an 8 per cent lower death rate from all causes. The reasons for this are threefold: not only does being outside on the links help lower your levels of cortisol (a ho ..read more

IT WOULD BE EASY to approach the coming of winter with an attitude of pessimism. With only one mild Autumn month remaining, daylight hours are dwindling, morning runs are becoming increasingly brisk, and post-work trips to the gym are frequently being traded for evenings spent huddling under a heated blanket. But like we said, that would be the easier approach to take, and we prefer to look on the bright side here. While the cooler weather likely means you’ll be spending more time indoors, positives can be drawn from that shift. The foremost of which is having ample time to catch up on the lat ..read more
