"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.
Yours in total health,
Dr. Frank
