clipped from www.amedd.army.mil Men, how long has it been since you have had a physical or any type of preventive medical examination? Despite all of the advances in medical science, the simple fact remains that women outlive men on average by seven years. Preventive health behavior is critical in the detection and treatment of health problems affecting men. This article will discuss the prostate, a walnut-sized gland located around the urethra at the base of the bladder. Around age 30, the prostate begins a slow change, causing it to enlarge. Men are generally unaware of this gradual change, unless the enlargement causes the prostate to press on the urethra or bladder, causing a change in urination. Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate and is most common in men between the ages of 20 and 50. It generally causes pelvic pain, lower-back pain, discomfort during urination and possibly blood in the urine. Again, if you have any of these symptoms, see your healthcare provider for an assessment.

Baby Boomers Retirement Not As Affordable As Once Thought!

The question is if you have to work to support yourself after retirement, is it going to be on your terms or will it be just another job?

clipped from www.forbes.com PersonalFinance: Retirement strategy for Gen X WASHINGTON(Reuters) - Putting hard-earned money into a 401(k) account may seem ridiculous to a young person who's barely scraping in enough cash to pay for groceries and the cell phone bill. Maybe that's why a new generation of workers are skimping on their retirement plans. Fewer than half of Generation Y workers, ages 21 to 32, are making contributions or even aiming to do so, according to a new study from Fidelity Investments. They are, instead, worried about paying off student loans and simply making ends meet. As a result, they contribute less than they should to their retirement plans and are making poor decisions about how to invest the money. Sometimes ignoring the 401(k) makes sense: Companies that offer weak plans or don't match employee contributions shouldn't expect to see big participation rates from their workers. But even 22 year olds should have some retirement savings strategy.
