ABSTRACT

Over the past 60 years, an enormous body of data has demonstrated that exercise is good for health. Recently, however, there has been concern that repetitive intense exercise may have deleterious cardiovascular effects. To evaluate this possibility, I have reviewed the health response to exercise, with particular attention to the body's minimum daily requirement and to the maximum amount that is safe and effective.

On call. In your October 2010 issue you discussed blood in the urine. I don't have that problem, but during my annual checkup last week, my doctor found protein in my urine. Is it a serious problem? And what should I do about it?

On call. I am a 73-year-old man and I've been diagnosed with epididymitis, which has been quite painful--to say the least. I would appreciate your comments about the cause, cure, and any other implications of having this problem.

On call. My 59-year-old husband just came home after being hospitalized for a mild heart attack. He was only in the hospital for five days and he feels great, though he does have to take three prescription medicines plus aspirin. I'm writing because my husband 's doctor doesn't want him to go back to work for another six weeks even though his job doesn't involve any lifting. I think the stress of staying home would be worse that going to work. Please advise.

On call. As a retired physician, I particularly appreciate "Harvard Men's Health Watch" since it's an easy way for me to learn about new developments in medicine. As a 78-year-old man with an enlarged prostate, I'm particularly interested in your fine articles about BPH. But if memory serves me right, we called the condition "benign prostatic hypertrophy" when I was in practice, but now you call it "benign prostatic hyperplasia." What's the difference?

On call. I do my best to exercise every day, either walking two miles in good weather or riding my exercise bike for 30 minutes on wet or cold days. Should I keep going when I catch a cold, or would I be better off resting?

On call. I am 72 years old and in good health. I've had left knee pain on and off for almost six months, nothing too severe, but it aches if I walk more than a mile or so, and I sometimes get sharp pain on the stairs. My doctor sent me for an MRI of both knees; it showed "mild to moderate osteoarthritis" in both knees and a torn meniscus in my right knee, which feels fine. I think I know what to do about my painful knee--but what should I do for the torn meniscus in my "good" knee?

On call. I've always enjoyed fruit with my breakfast cereal. Over the past year, my family seems to have shifted from bananas and strawberries to a steady diet of blueberries "because they'll keep you healthy". I love blueberries, but I do miss variety. So I want to know if blueberries really are good for our health.

On call. I recently brought a nice bouquet of flowers for my elderly aunt, who was hospitalized for a broken hip. She was quite depressed, and I thought the flowers would brighten her day, particularly since she is a dedicated gardner. To my surprise, the hospital had a policy against bedside flowers, and I could not deliver my gift. What's behind this policy, and is it reasonable?
