Everything you need to know about men’s health

Everyone knows the importance of staying healthy and a healthy lifestyle. But unfortunately, due to our busy routine, we may find it hard to make time for exercise and a healthy diet. But you can’t afford to eat junk food and continue to eat out because for one reason it's terrible for you, the sodium content in take out food is double of that which you cook at home, plus you can’t afford to stay passive about your health. Let’s talk about some practical men's health tips that should be part of your daily routine. 

Visit your Doctor

Before you go for the tips on “Healthy Diet for Men,” it’s always important that you go to your doctor and ask the doctor to monitor your blood pressure, weight, and cholesterol levels. It's critical to ask questions about changes in your mood, weight, or energy levels.  Ask the doctor about “Which diet should I be going for” to adopt a healthy lifestyle. 

Excess weight, high blood pressure and cholesterol level means that you could potentially be on your way to suffering from things like cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure.  Your doctor can recommend lifestyle changes, medications and other treatments to help you in maintaining essential things like blood pressure which is a hidden danger for many people. 

Now, it’s time to get started with our topic “Healthy Diet for Men” and let you know which Diet you should go for in order to stay on the roadmap of a Healthy lifestyle. 

Note*That while this is not medical advice, our team researches several key studies to see what things work to live a healthy lifestyle. 

Eat Natural Foods

The foods that we eat on a daily basis are full of Sugar, Salt, Unhealthy Fats, Artificial Additives, and Calories. Start limiting the fake stuff right now and focus on eating the following: 

• Fresh Fruits and Vegetables
• Whole Grain Products such as Brown Rice and Whole Grain Breads
• Fiber Rich Foods such as “Beans and Leafy Greens”
• Chicken Breast and Lean meat or turkey 
• Salmon as one of our favorites types of fish for cardiovascular health 

Wherever you go for shopping groceries, make sure to shop the perimeter of the store. This is the place where you’re going to find the freshest foods. 

In-short*Avoid eating fast foods too much and start concentrating on eating “Fresh Food.” Eventually as you slowly cut out processed foods from your diet your body will actually crave healthier food. 

Get your Vitamins

A lot of people get the desired vitamins by eating a healthy diet, but few of them aren’t able to get balanced nutrients from diet alone. Due to the process we take in over cooking foods and nutrient deficiencies like magnesium which is worldwide, we recommend an organic multi vitamin.  

It’s important that you eat a wide variety of Vitamin and Minerals rich foods, such as fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains. People often ask if lectins are bad for you ? But the truth is in moderation and cooked well, lectins are perfectly fine for you. If you read something on the internet, make sure it's by a company that does actual research. 

Many of the fresh fruits and vegetables provide you heart-healthy fiber and natural antioxidant compounds that can lower the risks of Heart-related problems and other diseases. 

Some people may also benefit themselves from taking antioxidant specific formulas.  For instance, your doctor may suggest/encourage you to start taking Vitamin D, Fish Oil Capsules, Omega 3 fatty acids and Vitamin D3. This is pretty common as we are often working in closed environments where we may not be exposed to sunlight in addition to the low level of fish we tend to eat. This is true due to the cost of seafood along with many people living their lives consuming mostly chicken and beef. 

Also make sure that your current medication will not interact with supplements. Even with our own supplements, we suggest that they are taken 2 - 4 hours after your normal medication or prior to a meal of choice. 

In-short*You can add supplements to your daily routine but asking your doctor is essential if you are opting for something that has a matrix of herbs. 

Get Moving

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in America and most of the other countries in the world. A healthy diet and regular exercise are always the way to go in order to avoid heart disease and keep your ticker strong. 

Not only regular exercise will help you with preventing Heart disease risk,  but you’ll enjoy overall physical and great mental health as well. I always thought that exercise was the last thing I wanted to do after a long day at work but it actually works in reverse. Exercise improves energy levels and mood. 

Try to exercise for an hour a day, or go for the aerobic exercise that includes walking, jogging, swimming, basketball, tennis and other sports. If you can't exercise everyday try to aim for at the very least 3 days a week of physical activity.

It’s also important that you do “Muscle Strengthening” exercises twice a week as well. For example, weight lifting, rock climbing, yoga can help you build stronger muscles. We also suggest that you get your testosterone levels checked. Many men have the question “ How do I check my testosterone levels ? This can be quantified by a simple blood test. This will give you a great idea on why you lack energy, sex drive, muscle growth and other mens health activities. 

In-short*Diet isn’t the only thing when you follow a healthy lifestyle roadmap, exercise must be in your top priorities list, because “Health is Wealth.”

Break Unhealthy Habits

Smoking and Alcohol are one of the worst things that you can do to your health. Smoking can lead to lung cancer, coronary artery disease and high blood pressure.

But if you’re seriously involved in smoking, alcohol and other unhealthy bad habits, then your doctor can make some suggestions on medications that help with nicotine addiction and alcohol addiction. They may even refer you to an outpatient treatment center that can better help. Finding a mentor or accountability partner can make a significant difference in your journey to cut out the bad habits.
