Sexual Health Feature on Health Site Guide Suggests Long Life Link



Considering all the jokes about prescription drugs that help to improve sexual performance, some would consider the topic of sexual health funny. For millions of people it's8217;s no laughing matter, and with research suggesting a link between regular sex and long life, it's8217;s an issue worth studying. Health Site Guide, http://www.healthsiteguide.com, a fast-growing health information portal with pre-searched, direct links to a wide range of topics on dozens of recognized websites, is currently offering a mini-site feature on this subject that includes links to information, videos, interactive quizzes, current and regularly updated news, and more.

Caremark.com one of the websites on the Health Site Guide portal, features an article on Sexual Health and Long Life which states that: 's8220;a ten-year study of nearly 1,000 local middle-aged men, which found that regular orgasms cut the risk of premature death by 50 percent. In an article published in the British Medical Journal in 1997, the researchers concluded that sexual activity may be protective of middle aged men'ss health. The link between sex and longevity is less clear for women, although one study from the early 1980s found that women who said they enjoyed sex at some point in their lives tended to live longer than those who didn'st.

How could sex help prevent a premature death For one thing, sex seems to be good for the heart. After adjusting for age and other risk factors, researchers determined that men who rarely had intercourse were twice as likely as men who had frequent sex to die of a heart attack. A much older study of Israeli women found a connection between sexual enjoyment and lower risk of a heart attack. Again, it seems that men benefit from frequency while women reap rewards from pleasure.'s8221;

Recognizing that people who visit the web in search of information on sexual health or hundreds of other topics often do so with a degree of anxiety and concern, Health Site Guide http://www.healthsiteguide.com has created a Health Spotlight on the subject that can be accessed from the home page. Other spotlights include Autism, Colon Cancer Screening, Breast Cancer, Diabetes, Heart Disease and Prostate Cancer.

's8220;People who search the Internet for information on health concerns usually do so for themselves or a loved one. That's8217;s personal, and the concern level is typically high,'s8221; states Bob Lipp, co-creator of Health Site Guide. 's8220;Typing a keyword on a search engine often yields results that first have to be searched for relevance. Visiting http://www.healthsiteguide.com and clicking on hundreds of topics from our Health Concerns drop down menu on our home page yields pre-searched links to information and organizations that matter.'s8221;

The concept of a 's8220;pre-searched's8221; health information portal is something unique. At Health Site Guide, medical and science writers reviewed over two dozen recognized health sites, while a team of researchers created direct links to hundreds of Health Concerns, dozens of Special Features including video and animation, and more. The mini-site concept compiles these links by specific concern and adds organizations, support groups, and more, including a link to current medical news by topic.

Since its launch about three months ago, Health Site Guide has attracted a growing number of visitors who want information that is fast, easy-to-access, and thorough. The free portal also provides Today's8217;s Health News by topic and free eBooks to members who sign up by providing only a nickname and a password's8230;no personal information is ever required to use http://www.healthsiteguide.com. A forum and blogging area is also available.

's8220;Health Site Guide is designed to be very user-friendly, and provide a wide range of relevant information, adds Lipp. 's8220;For example, people who search for information on sexual health want to be able to access a broad range of information from many reliable sources, fast and easy. They want quality information and they want it now.'s8221;

Health Site Guide encourages businesses, universities and health-related organizations to link to our portal ('s8220;Link To Us's8221; information appears on the home page of Health Site Guide), so their viewers can take full advantage of the enormous amount of information available.
