New men and the feel good factor. Mmmm...

Article Abstract:

It is becoming increasingly common in the UK for men to be willing to try complementary healthcare products and treatments. Up to 5 million people in the UK use the services of a complementary practitioner each year, with 45% of these being male. Research indicates that men are not much more sceptical about the efficacy of alternative medicine than women. Men are particularly aware of the problems which can arise from stress, and for this reason are likely to be interested in the new aromatherapy treatments for men which are starting to be made available.

Ab fad

Article Abstract:

Many British men yearn for a flatter stomach, and this has fuelled a whole industry promoting goods and services which claim to allow men to achieve this. It has become common for men to visit a gym, for example, and many own exercise equipment which claims to give them a flatter stomach through exercising at home. Some men want a flatter stomach because they are aware of the health dangers associated with being overweight, while others feel that body shape is important if they are to appear youthful and make progress in their career.

Can Tessa Jowell turn you into a better bloke?

Article Abstract:

The UK government's latest health promotion initiative is a booklet entitled 'Life Begins at 40: Health Tips for Men.' This comes at a time when growing emphasis is being placed on men's health issues, and the government has now begun to recognize this trend. Minister for Health Tessa Jowell is keen to see men make use of the new Healthy Living Centres, which are intended to respond to local health needs and could become sites for 'well-man' clinics.
