Midlife Man

Second Edition

A not-so-threatening guide to health and sex for man at his peak

Is there such a thing as male menopause? Why is testosterone so important, and what is it anyway? Can men avoid prostate cancer?
Are hair loss, and expanding waistline and impotence (not to mention a Porsche and a trophy wife) inevitable? And what about Viagra?

Art Hister answers these and many other questions with authority and humor. Drawing on his years of experience as a family doctor, the latest scientific research and his vast knowledge of alternative therapies, Hister discusses ways of preventing diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes and Alzheimer’s and maintaining one’s physical, social and spiritual vigour. This book is essential reading for men who want their middle years to be the best they can be and for any woman trying to better understand the midlife man in her life.

REVISED EDITION
Guide to Living a Long & Healthy Life
The Common-Sense Guide to Good Health
and Long Life.

“Dr. Art Hister has written a lively, humorous, and compelling book - part encyclopedia, part fireside
chat, and part sitcom. I recommend
it to my patients who seek timely, lucid, and entertaining discussions
on important issues. We doctors would do well to apply the sage advice to ourselves.”

Dr. Shafiq Qaadri, family physician, medical lecturer, and writer.

What is the single most important thing you can do to increase your chances of living longer and staying healthy? (Hint: It begins with E, and it’s not “Eat.”)
Are the diet wars over? Have we finally discovered the “best” diet?
Do you really need eight glasses of water a day? Or are four double cappuccinos just as good?
If you don’t drink alcohol, should you start to? And what exactly does “moderate drinking” mean?

Written in Dr. Art Hister’s trademark humorous style, this authoritative guide tells you how to eat, drink, exercise, sleep, and enjoy your way to good health and long life. Common sense rules, as Dr. Hister presents a plethora of practical, down-to-earth information for anyone who cares about his or her health.

Dr. Art Hister is a family physician and author of Midlife Man: A Not-So-Threatening Guide to Health and Sex for Man at His Peak.
Dr. Art Hister lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
