"Men have WHAT?!"

Yes! Men have pelvic floor muscles, too- the same ones that articles in women's health magazines have raved about for years...

And guess what? Those muscles are just as EXTREMELY important for men as they are women! The pelvic floor muscles play a huge role in sexual function (healthier erections- yes, please!), bladder/bowel support, and even hip and back pain!

We believe this side of Men's Health is not talked about enough. Men deserve to know there are healthcare providers out there who are experts in pelvic health and can help them address problems that many may think are taboo, but are essential to overall health.

Did something here surprise you? Want to learn more? We're having a seminar June 22nd, "The Empowered Man: Mastering Men's Health" to discuss EVERYTHING men's health. Link in the comments

Interesting

Before face masks, the ability to recognize faces is something that happened instantly within the brain, providing information on a person's identity, gender, emotion, age, and race. Regions of the prefrontal cortex, occipital and temporal lobes, including the fusiform gyrus, give the ability to do so. Face masks cover essential features that allow our brain to take in the information needed for analysis and recognition.

Researchers noted a 15% drop in the ability for people to recognize faces when masked. These changes in performance could have a significant impact on interpersonal interactions and quality of life. The big question is, what could this be doing to the regions in our brain needed for facial recognition over time?

Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) is a hands-on approach used to treat an array of musculoskeletal dysfunctions. This study measured outcomes by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data before, immediately after, and 3 days after OMT and placebo treatments.

Areas in the brain including the premotor cortex, basal ganglia, midline cerebellum, and amygdala showed an increase in brain functional connectivity with OMT compared to the placebo. Adding to the growing literature that manual therapists can have an affect on the CNS.

Midbrain regions showed selective activation to food cues after fasting and to social cues after isolation. Acute isolation causes social craving, similar to the way fasting causes hunger.

Positive social interaction is a basic human need. This year had made it challenging to be social. Do you think virtual social interaction is enough to fulfill that need and quell that craving?

Individuals considered to be “fit” scored higher cognitive scores than their “unfit” counterparts.

It has long been understood that exercise improves people’s cognitive abilities, including executive function, attention and memory, and brain structure.

A study looked at the connection between cognitive function and brain structure to how “fit” each individual was. The study found that adults who had higher levels of endurance were positively associated with better scores on their cognitive assessment. Even further, the “fitter” group also had more cortical white matter than their “unfit” counterparts.

Just 10 Minutes of Walking Could Enhance Cognitive Performance Amongst Students.

Brain plasticity and cognitive function are significantly improved by physical activity. The importance of this association is more important than ever given the significantly increased sedentary behavior and obesity worldwide in childhood and adulthood and the upsurge in aging populations of diminishing fitness and cognitive functions

Researchers examined the relationship between 10 min of walking to determine its effects on cognitive and academic performance in various age groups. Movement in the form of aerobic walking significantly enhanced performance of children on tests of sequential memory requiring cognitive–motor interaction and on tests of feature detection associated with attentional focus.

These results should generate both future research and impact on the nature of classroom instruction in the context of the relationship between movement and cognition.
