Testicular Cancer - For Men

This story posted by a guy on Reddit really amazed me. Basically he was in his bathroom one day and found his ex girlfriends pregnancy test kit. For a bit of a laugh he decided to pee on it. To his utter shock and surprise, the results came up with 2 lines as per the image below. This as we all know basically means he is pregnant right? Well obviously he is not pregnant but he thought it was really funny anyway.
He took to Reddit where he posted the picture. In the comments someone said “if this is true, you should check yourself for testicular cancer” and that he needed to get to his GP as soon as possible. It was lucky this chain of events happened as when his GP checked him over, it turned out that he had testicular cancer. He was fortunate enough to catch it in the early stages.
So what is going on here? Well the pregnancy test is actually looking for something called Human chorionic gonadotropin HCG . This is produced in the placenta of a woman and is thus a good test of pregnancy. It turns out that HCG is also produced by men who suffer from testicular cancer.

Foods that lowers your Cholesterol Level



1: Oats are rich in fiber. The soluble fiber contained in oatmeal reduces the LDL levels in your body. Oats also contain beta-glucol, which helps to absorb the LDL cholesterol, process it, and expel it from the body in your excrement.
2: Fish is one of the best foods to lower cholesterol, as it contains Omega-3 fatty acids that will be instrumental in improving your overall heart health. Omega-3 fatty acids also increase the levels of HDL in the body, thus helping to combat the LDL more effectively. The best fish to eat include mackerel, salmon, albacore tuna, halibut, sardines, herring and lake trout.
3: Nuts are some of the best foods to lower cholesterol, as they are rich in polyunsaturated fats. Walnuts, almonds are some of the nuts that are top cholesterol lowering foods, as long as they aren't salted. It is important that you eat no more than a handful of nuts.
4: Beans are excellent for your heart. Beans are high in fiber, and they contain a lot of protein that is low in fat. "Studies have shown that beans can help to lower cholesterol by as much as 8% with only half a cup of beans eaten regularly". Beans help to slow down the body's absorption of cholesterol. Black beans and Kidney beans are two of the foods that top the list of low cholesterol foods.
5: Garlic helps lower cholesterol. It fights the plaque that would clog your arteries by preventing the cholesterol particles from clinging to the arterial walls. No more than four cloves are necessary, though two per day is the minimum amount to experience amazing benefits.
6: Fruits - Fibre in fruits helps lower cholesterol. Apples, pears, grapes strawberries, citrus fruits and grapefruit contain soluble fibre, which helps lower cholesterol.
7: Spinach helps lower cholesterol, as it contains lutein. Lutein is regarded as one of the best nutrients to protect the walls of your arteries against the cholesterol that would cling to them and form blockages.
8: Olive Oil is rich in monounsaturated fats that fight high LDL cholesterol levels.

Tip:- If you have high cholesterol, avoid these foods:

The saturated fats found in red meat and milk can raise the level of LDL enormously. Hence cut back on saturated fat to lead a healthy life. Use olive oil instead of butter, and try baking/roasting chicken instead of frying it.

The phosphoric acids present will bind the calcium, magnesium and the zinc in your lower intestine. This provides a boost in the metabolism of your body. Not just that, this is also compounded by a high dose of sugar. The artificial sweeteners that are present will also cause the urinary system to excrete calcium when it must excrete nitrogenous wastes.
The diuretic properties that are present in caffeine are also responsible for making you go to the bathroom a lot of times. This will make sure that all the contents and the electrolytes of zinc and magnesium are thrown away.
