Keeping GUYS healthy

The Healthy Man

Guys listen up: diet and nutrition have a direct impact on your energy levels, your moods, your prostate health, and your sexual function. Yet some studies show that most men lead less healthy lifestyles when compared to most women. In fact, these same studies show that men typically smoke and drink more than women, and they also avoid going to the doctor more often than women.

That said, there are certain health conditions that men should pay close attention to, which means listening to your body and your doctor.

Prostate Cancer:

• The most common type of cancer found in American men, other than skin cancer.
  Second only to lung cancer in annual cancer deaths of U.S. men.
• Likely to strike 50 percent more African American men in comparison with other racial or ethnic groups.
• The good news is that prostate cancer is often slow growing and if detected early, is nearly 100 percent treatable.

Body Weight:

• Excessive body fat alters the productions patterns of certain hormones, especially the sex hormones estrogen and testosterone.
• Overweight men often have low levels of testosterone, the hormone the affects your sex drive.
• Excessive weight increases the risk for diseases and health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke.

Natural Therapies:

• Add flaxseed, walnuts and pumpkin seeds to your diet. They are rich in omega-3 essential fatty acids.
• Consume at least four to five servings of fruits and vegetables – particularly crucifier vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and cabbage.
• Increase your fiber intake by adding more beans, legumes and lentils to your diet.
• Include nutritional supplements such as Zyflamend™ and Prostrate 5LX™ to your daily diet. Recent studies suggest these supplements promote healthy prostate function.
  
  Herbs, supplements, balanced diet, and reducing stress will give you improved energy, brain function, and also improve your cardiovascular, sexual function, and nervous system health.
