Naked yoga for men is reportedly “on the rise” in Edmonton, Canada. The story is positively dripping with faux-trend warning signs — the source of this info on nude male yoga’s ascendancy seems to be a single nude male yoga instructor, for one — but so be it. I’ll take any excuse to post a video of hot naked men in warrior pose, I guess (don’t worry, strategic camera angles ensure that this videos is safe for work). More
If you’ve wondered why you’ve seen an increase in mustachioed men walking around lately, chances are it’s due to Movember. November, aka Movember, is the month when men grow moustaches to raise awareness and funds for men’s health issues, specifically prostate and testicular cancer initiatives. Â Moustaches are a funny, light-hearted way to draw attention to a serious, often-overlooked issue: cancers that affect men. More
Ask most people why they’re limiting their fat intake, and the answer is simple: because they don’t want to gain weight. But a diet high in fat does a lot more than just lead to a few extra pounds–more and more, an unhealthy diet is being linked to other, more pressing complications. Like, according to a new study, lower concentration and lower-quality sperm in men. More
Gifting for guys is not easy. Whether it’s your dad, husband, brother, or in-law, they all already seem to have everything they need, and generally seem pleased with whatever shirt, tie, or video game you get for them. But this year, consider giving the men in your life the gift of gorgeous skin. More
Many young men have the luxury of a speedy metabolism that allows them to scarf down french fries, hamburgers and junk food to their heart’s delight. Damn them. But metabolism and weight aside, a new study says that junk food does impact their junk: Apparently a diet high in junk food could make young men infertile. (But dudes: Please don’t consider nachos an effective method of birth control.) More
We love Men’s Health. It’s funny, provocative, informative and always a bit on the edgy side. And even though we’re women, that doesn’t stop us from sneaking our husband’s copy into the lady’s room and catching up on what’s happening in a man’s world. Recently, as part of their Eat This, Not That series (something that certainly applies to both sexes), they named the top five best and worst restaurants based on caloric and nutritional values. While those receiving the biggest accolades didn’t surprise us that much (like Subway who recently began offering avocado, which we love) and Chick-fil-A (who offers an impressive list of healthy sides like fruit cups and carrot and raisin salad), one of the worst restaurants, in particular, was cause for alarm.

Several studies indicate that marriage is a health-booster for men, but did you know that rounds of nagging are also associated with better health for men? Scrap the food; it seems nagging is the way to a man’s heart. Or, at least to his healthy heart, says new research. A little nagging goes a long way—all the way to the doctor’s office, in fact. Men who are (gently) reminded (ahem) have a tendency to actually book doctor’s appointments and get to the hospital faster, the research has found. More
Last week, I wrote about Republican congressman Aaron Schock‘s impressive six-pack, currently gracing the June cover of Men’s Health. (People who can work a desk job and maintain that kind of fitness: We salute you.) I won’t go so far as to say that my post inspired Stephen Colbert’s mention of Schock last night, but either way (you’re welcome, Colbert) he and his abs made a cameo on The Colbert Report. It turns out that congressman Schock is involved in a Fit For Life Summer Challenge, requesting that Americans make health and fitness their priority until Labor Day in September. Check out Colbert’s cracks at the congressman and his abs, below: More
There sure were a lot of male crybabies on last night’s season finale of America’s Next Great Restaurant on NBC. Of the three final contestants, two of them (Joey and Jamawn) were reduced to sobs and tears at several edited points during the show. (These moments were related to the surprise arrival of the contestants’ wives, kids, siblings, and/or friends at the end of their long and arduous restaurant competition, so I don’t blame Joey or Jamawn for turning on the waterworks. On the other hand, Sudhir, a new American citizen, native of India, and creator of Spice Coast, consistently held his emotions in check, which was one of the reasons why I would’ve chosen his concept as the winner.) But I have to say that watching those two tough guys weep openly on several occasions did make me realize how infrequently I’ve seen the men in my life cry. And because Joey and Jamawn are both fathers, I couldn’t help but specifically think of my own Dad.
My Dad was a self-made businessman who came from absolutely nothing, grew up indigent in one of Washington, D.C.’s worst neighborhoods, worked hard, built a successful company from the ground up, and, financially speaking, did very, very well for himself — without the benefit of a reality TV show, celebrity investors, or multiple chances to succeed.

Check out this post on how married men behave by Catherine Donaldson-Evans on AOL Health.
Men who are married engage in less aggressive and illegal behavior than those who aren’t, according to a new study.
The trend seems to be partly because of the bonding effect of marriage itself and partly because less antisocial men tend to be the ones walking down the aisle in the first place, the research shows. More
This holiday season, we imagine that you’ll be heading to at least one mall. And while you’re there, you might want to get a bite to eat — Szechuan Garden is calling your name. But if you’re smart, you’ll resist those hunger pangs (and those egg rolls) until you can make it to a real restaurant. A TODAY investigation revealed that plenty of popular malls have food court that have problems with roaches, mice, and bacteria. In fact, at the Mall of America, 68% of food stands had “critical violations” that could make patrons nauseous — literally.

In as little as two years, scientists say that there could be a 30 second test to spot early signs of Alzheimer’s that could be given to people as early as in their 40s. The aim is that patients could then take steps to prevent the onset of the disease. While this sounds too good to be true for those who have lost a family member to Alzheimer’s, the question still remains: What if the prevention is unsuccessful? More
Just when we thought we were safe, a new strain of swine flu is emerging. So break out your face masks and hand sanitizer, because authorities aren’t sure if the current vaccine will protect against this new mutation. Great — we’re really looking forward to having to get another flu shot. More
Trying to change the men in your life is probably not the wisest way to spend your time, but when we came across GOOD‘s article about the dangerous personal care products men use and what they should be using instead, we decided to break habit and preach to our Dads, brothers, boyfriends, husbands, and friends. There’s some toxic stuff in that Axe deodorant, and that cologne of his could also be causing sperm DNA damage. Not cool. More
