MEN’S HEALTH

In recent years, we have seen more and more articles discussing the health issues that men face. All too often the adverse effects seen with aging are blamed on declining testosterone levels. Men perceive that if they supplement their declining levels of testosterone, they will once again have the vitality of youth. However, the question that needs to be addressed before testosterone replacement is, “Why are the testosterone levels declining?” Age alone does not condemn a man to low testosterone levels. However, a more sedentary lifestyle, a less-than-healthy diet, and an increase in weight gain have much more to do with the decline in testosterone levels and the increased risk of diseases such as cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease and erectile dysfunction (ED)

The key to maintaining youth and good health in aging men is a healthy diet with smaller portions, less processed food and minimal alcohol consumption to minimize atherosclerosis. A complete multivitamin, like Active Life Nutrient Capsules can help provide essential nutrients that may not be present in the diet. A professional-quality vitamin B complex like Methylation Basics, can help a man feel more energized and capable of more activity. Zinc, as in Zinc 20 mg Monomethionine, is another critical nutrient for men. Approximately 70 percent of men are deficient in zinc, which accumulates in the prostate gland and helps block the conversion of testosterone to estrogen. Saw palmetto is another consideration for men as they age and can be found in our product Saw Palmetto 320 mg Standardized. Saw palmetto has been shown to support prostate health and urinary function.
