June 2019 5 T


his month, we celebrate Father’s Day and share an inspiration by Chris Bruno with his personal essay “Fatherhood’s Pain and Glory: We Must Face Our


Own Story First.” We also highlight healthy living and well- being for men, which face unique health challenges as their bodies age but can also work to sustain the healthy lifestyle that allows them to live well beyond retirement years. In “Nature’s Toolbox: Te Key to Prostate Health”, writer Melanie Laporte offers an insightful path to wellness and an up-to-date report on the latest approaches to treating and preventing some major problems associated with this tiny yet highly important gland. Marlaina Donato also offers a masculine perspective on water aerobics, a fitness


regimen that was once the domain of women. “Just Add Water: Aquatic Workouts for Him” details how more men are moving to the shallow end of the pool to sculpt their bodies and tend to injured knees, stiff joints and high blood pressure with low-impact therapy. Let’s all work to promote that longer, healthier and more rewarding lifestyle for our brothers, fathers, friends and partners that they deserve. Of course, cerebral health knows no gender and “Food Sleuth” Melinda Hemmel-


garn’s “Brain-Savers: Smart Strategies for Preventing Dementia” is a must-read for any- one concerned with preventing and treating cognitive decline and memory loss. More than a third of global dementia cases are preventable, so adopting diet and lifestyle risk reduction measures is a “no-brainer”. Dementia affects men and women alike and, according to a report by the U.S.


Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the rates of dementia and Alzheimer’s is expected to double by 2060. We can’t change our genetics and we are all going to get older but, through diet and exercise, we can minimize some of the risks. Feeding the brain is key. One way to feed the brain is with the unique nutrients found in mushrooms. Dis-


cover the magic in these healthy (and delicious) fungi with April Tompson’s “Medici- nal Mushrooms: Beyond Buttons and Portabellas.” Tis month’s Wise Words department also points the way to the healing power


of foods and much more with Dr. Sanjay Gupta’s take on “Chasing Life.” CNN’s chief medical correspondent shares his eye-opening experiences following an immersive tour of some of the happiest and healthiest places on Earth. Te resulting docuseries of the same name explores, among other helpful topics, how ancient traditions may play a role in 21st-century health care.


In health and happiness, Claire Byers, Publisher
