"The Top 10 Healthy Foods for Men"
10. You Say Tomato...
Lycopene, the antioxidant plentiful in tomatoes, is especially good in
the prevention of prostate cancer. Even better doses of lycopene are found
in cooked tomatoes, such as tomato sauce. More lycopene equals more protection.
So the eating of spaghetti and pizza should be encouraged in the name
of good health. Extra sauce please!
9. Get Into The Swim of Seafood!
Seafood is high in protein and zinc. Zinc is important for immune function
and (once again) prostate health. Research shows that if a man lives long
enough, chances are he will develop prostate cancer. Keep that little
piece of information tucked in the back of your head and you'll realize
the importance of eating to improve prostate health all through life.
8. Bring on the Broccoli!
Boy, those cruciferous vegetables are healthy for everyone, aren't they?
For men, broccoli is very helpful in the prevention of heart disease and
cancer, the number one and number two killers for men over 35 years of
age.
7. There's Something Fishy Here!
It may not sport a manly color, but that lovely pink salmon is filled
to overflow with omega 3 fatty acids. Those fatty acids are effective
in lowering the risk for prostate cancer. It's also helpful for heart
health, too. Besides all that, salmon is on the women's list as well.
Now you know what to order when you take that special someone out to dinner!
6. A Breath of Fresh Air!
If you really like garlic, make sure you share or you'll end up alone
in your odiferous state! According to a study in Penn State's College
of Health and Human Development, deodorized garlic capsules help bring
down blood cholesterol levels of men. The guys' cholesterol levels dropped
7 percent over 5 months, but remained unchanged in men downing placebos.
But instead of swallowing pills, why not eat garlic in the food you love
with the one you love? Plus, garlic is also known for its aphrodisiac
properties. What's not to like about garlic?
5. Sow Your Oats!
Oatmeal's got it goin' on for guys. Consider that it's full of fiber,
chock full of B vitamins (for stress) and lots of zinc for the prostate,
you need to stir the pot a little and get cool with the gruel. If a hot
bowl of oatmeal isn't your thing, muffins can rescue your oatmeal from
the reject list.
4. Rice is Nice!
But don't chow down on just any style rice -- make it brown rice. Not
only is it high in fiber, but it also has a good sampling of B vitamins,
magnesium, potassium and zinc: all the stuff guys need.
3. Toss the Greens!
This is the stuff you loved to hate as a kid, but gotta eat as an adult.
The experts say a whopping 35 percent of cancer deaths may be attributed
to diet. (In my opinion, it might even be more). Dark, leafy greens are
nutrient rich foods that are just packed with nutrition: beta-carotene,
vitamin E, vitamin C, and important minerals such as calcium, magnesium
and potassium. Get over the fear of greens and toss some down.
2. Go Nuts for Fruit... and Nuts!
Eaten raw, nuts are a great source of vitamin E and adequate vitamin E
helps with heart health. Nuts are also filling and satisfying. Try a little
raw almond butter a piece of whole wheat bread with a half a banana sliced
up on top. It's delicious! Bananas are a great portable fruit for everyone,
men included, and they're a wonderful source for potassium, also important
for heart health.
1. Take Water, Water Everywhere!
It is estimated that as many as three out of four of Americans are dehydrated!
Water may not contain nutrition, but it is considered a nutrient because
of the powerful effect it has on the body and bodily function. Don't forget
to chug-a-lug at the water cooler!
I didn't write this article, and I have no ideal who did. But it's advice well worth taking, guys.
