This is a guide to men's health, a health manual for the weaker sex that can help men live longer, healthier and happier lives. It explains how the male body works, offers diet and exercise advice, and looks at stress (and how to cope with it) and sex (and how to enjoy it - healthily, and for as long as possible). A chapter entitled Fatherhood - a survival guide suggests how men can support their partners and play a more active part in the upbringing of children. A section on common medical problems, from acne, impotence and anorexia nervosa to heart disease, prostate disorders and CJD, addresses the worries of young and old alike. It emphasises the importance of self-examination in staying healthy; discusses sexual health, and offers guidance on sexual difficulties and gives advice on how to get the best from a doctor.
