As for the substances we know are bad but still may indulge in, here are some of Borhan’s tips.

When it comes to tobacco, Borhan says cigarettes are always bad. Cigars on momentary occasions like when a best friend gets married are OK, but Borhan says not to inhale the smoke. Cigarettes will never do a person any good though.

“Are you going to be the dominant person, or is that little stick going to run your life?

As for alcohol, moderation really does work and one glass of wine a day or a beer isn’t going to do any harm.

Finally, caffeine.We all need a pick me up occasionally, some more frequently than others, and Borhan says recently Harvard found in a study that up to 4 to 6 cups of coffee per day may have cancer preventative effects. This is only significant to coffee however. Borhan still advises staying away from caffeine pills and avoiding energy drinks as these products have other additives besides just caffeine that are unhealthy.

“Happiness in a can is never a good thing,” Borhan says. 

As for sexual health, for men “if you don’t use it, you will lose it,” Borhan says. Borhan really recommends having an active sex life, not just in your 20s and 30s but really for your entire life. And if your partner can’t handle it, you’ll need to come up with other ways. Having a diet high in veggies, zinc selenium, cauliflower and broccoli are helpful because they have compounds that promote longer sexual health. Doing deadlifts and squats and swimming and doing certain yoga poses also promote an amorous feeling.
