Question 1

does semen have health benefits if swallowed i was wondering if semen has health benefits like extra protein, good for skin,  helps generate any type of virus fighting cells or anything like that.

Accepted Answer

What : What an interesting question to start my day with. What does semen contain?  White blood cells, epithelial cells and spermatozoa as well as water, fats, steroids, carbohydrates (sugars) and protein. There is usually about 2 to 6 ml of semen per ejaculation. Is it good for you or not?  Well, i guess that depends on who you are talking to. 
   There are a number of cultures and religions that consider sperm to be sacred - however, I am not aware of religious rituals involving semen ingestion. There is a  study that suggests possible health benefits from ingesting semen.  It proported a reduced risk of breast cancer  if a woman engages in fellatio at least three times a week.  Two  other benefits from semen that have been suggested (but do not involve ingestion per se) include an antidepressant effect on women and possible reduction of pre-eclampsia.I can not tell you how how scientific the methods were for any of these studies. 
    On the flip side (and there is a lot of evidence to support this) semen can contain viruses and bacteria.  Hiv  can be transmitted through oral sex. Herpes and other sexually transmitted diseases can also be contained in semen. If there is significant gum disease in the person who ingests the ejaculate, that would provide more portals for infection. It is reported that about 5% of women are allergic to ejaculate. I am not aware that injesting semen strengthens your immune system, gives you radiant skin or improves the quality of your diet.

Question 5

i am male , 30 yrs , suffering from type 1 diabetes . got my semen analysis done where the sperm count is low,  mortility almost nil.... help me out ?

Accepted Answer

? varicocele: Your sperm count might be low if semen was collected soon after previous ejaculations, ideally collection should be after at least three days after last ejaculation. Poor motility could be related to a varicocele. You can self examine and feel your left scrotum whist standing up, varicoceles feel like "a bag of worms", disappear when lying down. ? Consider ivf if sperm count remains poor.

Question 6

what would be a good jogging pace for a 56 yr old man looking for cardiovascular health benefits? and how many miles per day?

Accepted Answer

Highly variable: Pace and distance are highly variable among runners, depending on their experience level, goals, desire, prior injuries/orthopedic conditions and conditioning level. I would recommend you start gradually, perhaps at a pace of 9-11 minutes per mile and 1-3 miles on non-consecutive days. You can increase your distance 10-20%/week and consider a goal of decreasing your pace/mile by 30 seconds/month.

Question 7

i'm a 30 year old man.  what are the health benefits of drinking apple cider vinegar daily?

It's many uses include treating heartburn, many infections (like sinus, ear &amp; yeast infections), acne &amp; other skin conditions.It may help treat diabetes, hypertension &amp; high cholesterol.Research is limited but does support many uses.It is safe and inexpensive.See comments for more info:.

Question 8

been drinking 1-2 glasses of red win per day because of suggestive health benefits.  but can this habit put me at risk of developing diabetes?

Accepted Answer

Protects against DM!: There is evidence that moderate wine consumption can lower risk of diabetes. I think it is more wise to average 1 glass a day than 2 but 2 a few times/wk is OK. It may also be wise to not drink a couple days a week.
