12:20: We’’ve told you previously on the program about the revolutionary CPR Glove, developed in Hamilton by a pair of biomedical engineering students. Well, the glove has just won 2 awards! It was one of five of Time Magazine’’s inventions of the year in the health category and also the winner in the undergraduate category of the prestigious Collegiate Inventors Competition.
Guest: Nilesh Patel, McMaster University Electrical and Biomedical Engineering Student and co-inventor of the CPR Glove.

Low Testosterone Levels Linked to Increases Male Mortality!
According to a study reported in August in the "Archives of Internal Medicine" low testosterone levels were linked with an increase in mortality in a cohort of male veterans. Low testosterone is a common condition in aging associated with decrease muscle mass and insulin resistance. Testosterone levels also decrease with acute and chronic illness and with medications such as glucocorticoids and opiates. Morality was 20.1% in men with normal testosterone levels compared with 24.6% in men with equivocal testosterone and 34.9% in men with low testosterone levels. After adjustment for age medical history and other clinical covariates, low testosterone levels continued to be associated with increased mortality. Testosterone levels gradually decrease with age in men, falling by approximately 1.5% per year. By the age 80 years approximately half of men have a testosterone deficiency. These patients may have reduced muscle mass, lower bone density , increased fat mass, insulin resistance and dysphoria compared with men with normal levels of testosterone.
research has proven that eating the right foods can jack up your testosterone and growth-hormone levels while also shutting down estrogen production in men. What you eat, how you eat and what supplement you take along with exercise routine , the amount of alcohol (especially beer), stress levels have a direct impact on testosterone levels. Protein that comes from whey or egg hydrolysates can increase testosterone hormone levels. Aim for two servings a day of cruciferous vegetables (green veg) . Avoid fats ( rich in aromatase, an enzyme that turns testosterone into various estrogen's). Study s have also shown that eating meat boosts testosterone, but try and avoid the fatty red meat, pork and lamb which are loaded with saturated fats. Choose fish, poultry or lean cuts of beef.
