Foods That Help Men Live Longer
Here are five healthy foods for men. Regularly eating them will make sure you're well on your way to a longer lasting, healthier life.
Oysters. This superfood is a high quality protein source and is perfect for helping to build lean muscle. They also supply omega 3's and zinc (which many men are known to be deficient of), and aid in the production of testosterone.
Tomatoes. This fruit (it's a fruit, not a vegetable because it has seeds) contains a powerful nutrient called lycopene, which has been shown to be beneficial in preventing prostate cancer in men. To get the complete benefits of it the tomatoes need to be broken down, so go for either tomato juice or tomato sauce as opposed to whole tomatoes.
Flaxseed. Flaxseeds are an ideal source of nutrients, healthy fats and fiber and they help the body dispose of toxic compounds. For your body to absorb the full health benefits of them they need to be ground prior to consumption. After they have been ground you can add them to cereal, oatmeal, meatballs and shakes.
Brazil Nuts. Nuts in general are full of fiber, healthy fats and protein. However, Brazil nuts stand out from the others in that they are especially high in selenium, which is a mineral that is crucial in antioxidant production to fight off disease. In fact, just one one gives you your recommended daily allowance of selenium.
Broccoli. There is considerable evidence pointing towards the anti-cancer benefits of this superfood. It's high in vitamins, fiber and minerals that detoxify your arteries and maintain strong and healthy cells throughout your body.
There are of course other healthy foods to choose from but these are a good start. Begin by increasing the amount of these that you consume, and then add additional healthy foods to your regular diet month by month.
