Spinal Health is Personal-Social-Planetary Health
Filed under: health and wellness, men's health
Straighten Up America is a great program put together by the Congress of Chiropractic State Associations and Life University and is part of a world-wide Straighten Up initiative. The salient points for spinal health are relevant to all of us, but these exercises are intended to be a part of healthy, active living; are designed for healthy children and adults to practice daily, like brushing one’s teeth; and it is advised that one consult with a healthcare provider before beginning any exercise regimen. With as minimal an investment as 5 minutes daily, one can improve one’s spinal - and general - health.
Gay Men’s Culture, Missing Generations, and the Hunt for Love
Filed under: activism, gay culture, health and wellness, men's health, spirituality
I infrequently find myself on Out.com, but found a dynamite article there, Has Manhunt Destroyed Gay Culture? Thanks to my friend, Mikey, for bringing it to my attention.
Gross, the author, has done an exceptional job of covering gay male culture’s move from meeting each other in our bars to meeting each other online, at personals sites and elsewhere. He makes some very strong points and declares that gay men were actually building a viable culture when AIDS appeared, but that we have now become more isolated from each other as a result of our technologically-enmeshed lives. I think Gross is spot-on with his observations, with a caveat at the end of this entry.
Six Feet of Sexy Green Eyes at The Eagle Tavern

There he was, a friend of Garrett’s, in from Texas. Out with friends, I met him at a wicked beer bust at The Eagle Tavern, San Francisco’s legendary gay biker-leather-jeans bar, which is rockin’ and rollin’ with fun and festive goings-on every Sunday afternoon.
First thing I noticed, after the green eyes, was a most charming smile, then a hot chest. After I dropped down from my bench-perch to grab another scotch, I looked up to 6 feet of male hotness and testosterone. Cheeky bastard, too - devilish and playful.

Life Happiness Translates into Longevity
Filed under: health and wellness, men's health, science
ScienceDaily (2008-08-05) — Happiness does not heal, but happiness protects against falling ill. As a result, happy people live longer. The size of the effect on longevity is comparable to that of smoking or not. This is concluded from an analysis of 30 follow-up studies published in the latest issue of the Journal of Happiness Studies.
