GO GREEN TO LIVE LONGER
A new study says cleaner air in the U.S. adds months to your life


Going green is like the first few days of a new weight-loss plan. You know you’re ultimately doing something good, but there’s not a lot of hard evidence—at least, not until now.

A new study found that dramatic improvements in U.S. air quality over the last two decades have added 21 weeks to the average American’s life.

Scientists have long known that grit in polluted air—from cars, diesel engines, steel mills, and coal-fired power plants—can lodge deep in the lungs and raise risk of lung disease, heart attacks, and stroke. But this study from Brigham Young University and Harvard School of Public Health is the first to show that our effort to reduce such pollutants translates into longer lives.

Twenty-one weeks is the average life-extension, but cities that made the most progress cleaning up their air—Pittsburgh and Buffalo, N.Y.—saw life spans increase by about 10 months. Los Angeles, Indianapolis, and St. Louis were among the cities that saw gains around 5 months.

Find out how your hometown ranks overall in our list of the best cities for men.

And put your extra time to good use. In just 12 weeks you can build the lean, muscular body of an athlete, uncover your six-pack, or train for a marathon. Then take a trip to these 15 sights every man must see. Just make sure your travel plans are environmentally friendly.

BE FIT, NOT FAT Studies show football players have an increased risk of heart disease You’ve heard it before: Bigger isn’t always better. Who knew it would be true in the super-sized National Football League? The average NFL player has been getting larger for years— for example, every starting offensive lineman for the Arizona Cardinals tips the scales at more than 300 pounds. Indianapolis Colts president Bill Polian looked into the “bigger-is-better” argument as part of his draft planning. He compared the winning percentages and average weight of NFL teams over a 10-year period. The result? “We found higher weight had no bearing on winning—none,” Polian said. “There was a lot of noise about ‘big is the answer.’ We tested it. It’s not valid.” If bigger doesn’t have a benefit, it has some severe drawbacks. Football players’ health risks are mounting. Ohio State University released a study focused on players with metabolic syndrome, which is caused by symptoms such as excess fat in the abdominal area, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. Having one or more of these factors increases the risk of future heart disease or heart attacks. Of 70 current college football linemen studied, 34 had at least three risk factors. Prevent looking like a lineman by exercising three times a week and eating sensibly. Still want that cheeseburger? You won’t have to give up the foods you love with the new Belly Off! eating plan. Do your situps and pushups before the game, and you’ll be able to eat a burger and boneless wings while you enjoy the game.

CATCH THE BUZZ Drinking coffee can help your brain stay sharper longer Your morning pick-me-up could do more than get you through the day—it could also keep your brain healthy for life. Danish and Swedish researchers have found that people who drank three to five cups of coffee daily were 65 percent less likely to have developed dementia, compared with those who drank two cups or less. Earlier studies have linked coffee to a variety of health perks that may contribute to this latest finding. Coffee drinkers have shown a decreased risk of type 2 diabetes, less plaque formation in the brain, and reduced vascular risk—all three of these effects could contribute to lowering Alzheimer’s risk. Coffee isn’t the only thing that can help you boost your brain. A new British study shows that vitamin D could help ward off dementia and lower your risk for Parkinson’s disease. You can also supplement your brain with omega-3 fatty acids found in this power food. So if you want to stay sharp for life, make these simple choices—it’s the smartest thing you could do for your brain.

Brad Pitt attends the premiere of ''The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'' on January 22, 2009 in Paris, France.Us Magazine

Bloggers can hate on Brad Pitt all they want: He'll likely never read about it.

Asked during Newsweek's 13th annual Oscar Roundtable if he's ever "googled" himself, the Oscar nominee, 45, replied, "Dear God. No. Never. First of all, I don't really know how to operate a computer."

(He isn't completely tech illiterate: "I have a BlackBerry," he says.)

"This publicity machine is out of control," Pitt says of the downside of releasing a film. "It's everything we didn't sign up for. There's this whole other entity that you get sucked into. You have to go and sell your wares.

"It's something I never made my peace with," says the actor, who volunteered to shoot Angelina Jolie apparently breastfeeding in W magazine around the time Benjamin Button was released. "Somehow you're not supporting your film if you don't get out on a show and talk about your personal life. It has nothing to do with why I do this."

Save Me (2007)

Since so many religions have condemned homosexuality for millenniums, it's no small accomplishment that the absorbing and wrenching "Save Me," written by Robert Desiderio from a story by Craig Chester and Alan Hines, views a dedicated homophobe with compassion and understanding. This is a modest, thoughtful, independent production of exceptional insight and quietly devastating power.

"This is a Christian recovery program speaking to sexual brokenness," explains Gayle (Judith Light), a woman of force and certitude, who with her wiser, less certain husband, Ted (Stephen Lang), runs in the rural Southwest a retreat for young gay men trying to go straight and to overcome any substance-abuse problems.

PROTECT YOUR TICKER A new study reveals the latest weapon in fighting heart disease Add one more thing to the list of gold’s merits. The precious metal may help keep your heart pumping stronger longer. Researchers at Northwestern University have developed a synthetic form of HDL—the good cholesterol—that could help fight heart disease. The compound, which has a tiny core of gold, is designed to attract, trap, and flush out LDL—the bad kind of cholesterol that builds up in arteries and causes heart attacks and strokes. Existing drugs can help lower LDL levels, but they do little to increase levels of protective HDL cholesterol. And you have to do both to guarantee you’ll never have heart disease. Animal testing is underway to see if the synthetic HDL is the next greatest weapon against heart disease. But don’t wait for the results. A man with a low HDL-cholesterol level—40 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) or lower—can have as much as a three times greater risk of death from heart disease. So unless you're blessed with blood that consistently scores in the mid-40s or higher, you need to do something now. Heart-healthy foods and regular workouts—30 minutes of exercise five times a week—are a good start, but they’re not enough. Follow this age-by-age plan for keeping your ticker strong and healthy. Because even being young and fit doesn’t mean you’re not at risk.

Pretty blood boy: Robert Pattinson

Of all the myriad heartthrobs gaining fame from their roles in the smash vampire flick "Twilight," the ethereal Robert Pattinson -- as the lonely and tortured bloodsucker Edward Cullen -- has emerged as the fastest rising star among them. But is the 22-year-old raven-haired Robert all that hot? You be the judge! But let's weigh the pros and cons of Brit's most popular blood boy's appeal (or lack of it) before you make your decision.

Andro-creep OR Andro-chic?
Robert has said himself on the end of his modeling career: "When I first started [modeling] I was quite tall and looked like a girl, so I got lots of jobs, because it was during that period where the androgynous look was cool. Then, I guess, I became too much of a guy ... "

The red lips, the porcelain skin, the cheekbones that could cut glass -- you have to admit that Robert is the quintessential pretty boy, whether you like the type or not. But he's shown by chopping off his gorgeous signature locks and adopting a fresh new buzz cut that he has a butcher side to him. Still, does his slight frame make you want to say, "Please, eat a cookie!" And if so, would you want to feed it to him?

Go boys have fun...

Call it balloon bumping or insatiable, inflatable fun. Call it bunny love gone wild or a sweet (and squeaky) take on the group romp. But whatever you call it, this video ode to protection raging through the Internet is sure to give you a chuckle -- and make you think about safe sex.

Chris Evans On Gay Bars, Gay Marriage And His Man-Crush (Yes, He Admits To Having One)

Chris Evans, the hunky actor who in my opinion was the most fantastic of The Fantastic Four (how many other men could rock blue tights like he did?) and will soon be seen as a man with telekinetic powers in Push, just did a great interview with The Advocate in which he reveals himself to be a charming, gay-friendly guy. If you were simply in lust with him before, you'll be in love with him now.

Turns out his younger brother Scott is gay, and Chris spends a lot of time hanging out with him and his buddies. He has yet to go to a gay bar with the bunch, though. "They've invited me to gay bars before, and I said, 'Look, guys, I've got to draw the line there.' That's where a photo will get taken, it will run in magazines, and before you know it, I'll be living down the gay rumor for the rest of my life," he tells The Advocate.

Scott came out to Chris' mother and sister when he was in college, then he came out to Chris a little later. "I was so glad that he did. That's got to be a difficult transition, but I come from the most liberal household you have ever heard of. And for some reason, gay men are just drawn to my mother. She's a cool chick. I think, like, six men have come out to her. I guess they just feel so comfortable with her, and before you know it, they're coming out of the closet," Chris says, adding, "I think my mother was praying for us to be gay, so at least she got one of us."

While Chris isn't gay (he almost played gay in Milk but lost out on the role of Harvey Milk's partner to James Franco), he admits to having a man-crush. "My buddies always tell me that I have a man-crush on Brad Pitt. What can I say? The guy's great. I think he's a great fuckin' actor, and he's versatile as all hell," Chris praises. "I've never seen a movie I don't like him in. So I guess he's my man-crush."

Like Brad, Chris is one of our straight allies in the battle for gay marriage. "As for gay marriage, it's mindbloggling and appalling that human beings are denied being civil rights in this country," Chris says. "But time will heal all. I have to believe that in 10 years we won't be having this conversation."

So what do you think of Chris after reading what he has to say? And while you're at it, what's your favorite movie of his?
