Tips for Men's Health

When we think about health and how to maintain or achieve optimal health, our first thoughts should, and usually, go toward diet and exercise. Most of us believe it’s always a good idea to try to prevent something from getting broken rather than try to fix it after it gets broken. This is also something that holds true regarding our health. We can all experience benefits from a healthy diet, moderate exercise, and positive lifestyle choices.  

Let’s look at some general things to consider when we think about being healthy. The basics are the same for both men and women. We know a daily diet containing 5-9 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables, clean and lean protein, good fats (like the Omega-3 fats found in salmon), complex carbohydrates, and adequate water are the foundation of a good diet. We all know this it can be a challenge to achieve every single day. Then we should include some type of exercise 3-5 days a week, adequate sleep, limited (or avoidance) of alcohol, smoking or other harmful lifestyle choices. Finally, managing stress and taking time to relax, although we know this is important, it’s what many of us struggle with on a daily basis. So those are our general guidelines for both men and women.

So let’s get more specific regarding men’s health. We know the basics as mentioned above, but what can men do to support optimal health? There is much discussion regarding supplements and the need for supplementation. If we remember supplements are just that – supplements to a healthy lifestyle not an instead of a healthy lifestyle– we are on the right track. A good basic multivitamin is usually the first thing to consider.

We agree that it’s a challenge to be the perfect eater every day, so a multivitamin and mineral supplement can help fill in the gaps you might be missing in your daily food intake. Your multi doesn’t have to be a mega dose vitamin but should contain the basic vitamins and minerals we need. A great choice would be the Country Life Core Daily-1® Men’s vitamin because includes Coenzyme B Vitamins (which are body ready), minerals, a fermented whole food base, some probiotics, digestive enzymes, inner fillet aloe vera AND a men’s health blend that includes important ingredients like saw palmetto, pumpkin seed, pygeum, and lycopene. This once a day supplement provides full-spectrum support across seven key nutritional areas. And for those men over 50 years young the Core Daily-1® Men’s 50+ includes Sharp-PS® Gold – a conjugated PS and DHA.

Another area of concern men often have would be their hair, skin and nails. There are many options in the market today that are directed toward healthy hair, great skin and strong nails and it can become confusing when trying to select the best product for you individual needs. Look no further! Country Life® Vitamins has your answer!
