Eating too many calories from Ultra Processed Food’s has been linked with several health conditions, ranging from heart disease to diabetes, but a new study has added weight to the theory that UPF consumption can lead to a significant risk of prostate cancer, according to a new scientific study. The report , coming out of Florida Atlantic University and published in the American Journal of Medicine, showed that even after adjusting for age, race, smoking, and other factors, UPFs posed a significant risk to prostate health. This is a major concern, not least because Ultra Processed Foods, which are often high in sugar and preservatives, and have nutrients like fiber stripped away, make up almost 60% on average, of the energy intake of men in the United States. How Was the Study Carried Out? Researchers at Florida Atlantic University’s Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine crunched the data of over 17,000 men from the U.S., aged 18 and older, based on a Health and Nutrition Examinat...

Nicholas Pinnock has become a highly feared villain in his latest project, blurring the lines between British boxing and organized crime in the popular Starz series, Fightland. But while his character, Kingsley Marshall, is far too smooth to step between the ropes, Pinnock’s intense performance requires that every movement matters, and he says that a penchant for Pilates has been a game changer for his health. “I’ve always been a fan of boxing,” says Pinnock, who has become enemy No. 1 in the Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson-produced drama. “I grew up on the ‘70s and ‘80s and that era of boxing was just fantastic.” While Pinnock shares that his family didn’t encourage the idea of him getting between the ropes for real, the London born star was able to pursue his passion for boxing as a performer instead. Ten years ago, the actor undertook a combination of circuits and resistance training to get into fighting shape for the play The Royale .  On stage, he starred in the role of “Jay Jackson,”...

For the better part of two decades, “male self-improvement” had a fairly narrow definition: hit the gym, drink your protein shake, and repeat. Getting bigger, stronger, and more disciplined became a familiar blueprint for becoming a better version of yourself. Supplement aisles expanded to fill entire walls. Somewhere along the way, protein powder stopped being a niche product for bodybuilders and became a lifestyle signifier: the thing you posted about, the thing you measured your discipline by. That obsession produced real results for a lot of men, but it also tipped into something more extreme. Pre-workout stacks with a dozen ingredients, supplement routines that resembled a small pharmacy, and a culture where a missed gym day felt like a personal failure: the pursuit of a better body started to look less like wellness and more like an arms race. Online, the goalposts kept moving too: bulking gave way to “shredding,” which gave way to chasing an increasingly narrow, almost unattain...
