TOP 9 products necessary for men's health
The famous slogan "Take care of men!" did not arise out of nowhere. In a sense, nature has created the representatives of the stronger sex much less adapted to the troubles of life than it seems at first glance. According to statistics, men are more likely to get sick than women, they endure most ailments more difficult and die earlier. The situation is aggravated by the fact that our fathers, husbands, brothers and sons are not always inclined to take care of their health. Partly because of the reluctance to waste time on "trifles", and partly because of the fear (this is a proven fact) of doctors. Therefore, every woman should know which products support men's health in order to gently and unobtrusively take care of their loved ones.
Berries
Most berries (especially those that are bright red, blue or purple in color) are rich in anthocyanins and flavonoids. These substances activate the brain, improve memory, and promote concentration. Therefore, it is very important to include cherries, black currants, honeysuckle, and blackberries in a man's diet. Blueberries contain components that preserve visual acuity, and cranberries and lingonberries normalize the work of the excretory system, which is important for men who are at risk of developing prostatitis by age. Do not forget that almost all berries contain a large amount of vitamins that help maintain the immune status and reduce the likelihood of contracting seasonal infections.

Tomatoes
Our favorite tomatoes are wonderful vegetables with unique health benefits. Their daily consumption helps to normalize the work of the digestive tract, more successfully assimilate proteins obtained from food. Tomatoes are good for strengthening the walls of blood vessels. In addition, they are rich in a natural antioxidant - lycopene, which activates the body's fight against cancer cells and neutralizes the negative effects of poor nutrition. Tomatoes are also remarkable in that when cooked, the lycopene content in them increases. Therefore, a man's diet must include not only fresh tomatoes, but also tomato paste.

Carrot
This root vegetable contains a lot of beta-carotene, which is converted in the body into vitamin A, which is necessary for strengthening the immune system and maintaining eye health. Other substances that are rich in carrots help to optimize heart rate and normalize blood pressure.
If a man is not very enthusiastic about the proposal to just gnaw a carrot, you can make a salad with fresh root vegetables seasoned with sour cream or vegetable oil: in the presence of fats, beta-carotene is better absorbed.

Lettuce, parsley, dill and celery are natural remedies for men's health. All of them contain substances that prevent the development of prostatitis and increase potency. Since ancient times, such herbs as basil and tarragon (tarragon) have been used to increase male strength.

Cottage cheese and milk
Not only women dream of having a beautiful figure. Many representatives of the stronger sex also take certain steps in this direction. The trouble is that men often want to get results as quickly as possible and exhaust themselves by training in gyms. To prevent such negligence from fatally affecting health, the menu should include dairy products, which are an excellent source of protein. Cottage cheese is especially useful in this sense, especially since some adults do not digest whole milk poorly. In addition, cottage cheese contains a lot of calcium, which is necessary for maintaining the health of the musculoskeletal system.

Pumpkin seeds
Does your man like to sit in front of the TV with a bag of chips or crackers? Suggest that he replace these foods with pumpkin seeds. They are not only devoid of components harmful to health (salt, flavor enhancers, flavors, stabilizers, preservatives, etc.), but also contain substances that reduce the risk of developing prostate adenoma.

Seafood and fish
Seafood should appear in a man's diet at least three times a week. The fact is that the consumption of fatty fish, squid, mussels, shrimps and other marine life saturates the body with phosphorus, iodine, magnesium, selenium and other trace elements, and also supplies essential omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Deficiency of these substances leads to a decrease in libido and a deterioration in the quality of sperm, which reduces the likelihood of having healthy children in the family. For older men, such products are also necessary: their components increase intellectual and physical activity, strengthen immunity. It is not for nothing that there are many long-livers among the population of the coastal countries, who maintain a vigorous body and a clear mind until very old age.

Meat
Men love meat dishes for a very understandable reason: they are a source of protein needed to maintain strength, especially during hard work. In addition, meaty foods are often seasoned with aromatic spices, many of which can increase libido.
For the health of the sterner sex, protein entering the body with meat is simply necessary. However, the hostess does not bother to remember that protein food is better absorbed in the presence of vegetables and herbs (preferably fresh). In addition, natural meat (beef, pork, lamb, poultry) is very useful, but various sausages, smoked meats, canned food and fast food are unlikely to bring anything other than harm. Such foods may be present in the diet in limited quantities.

Red grape wine
The addiction to alcohol (beer or spirits) is undoubtedly a destructive habit. However, according to nutritionists, a small amount of red grape wine in the daily diet has a positive effect on health.
The grape skin contains a unique substance - resveratrol, which strengthens the walls of blood vessels, activates metabolism, and reduces the risk of developing heart failure, arterial hypertension and thrombosis. In addition, moderate consumption of red grape wine has been found to increase the level of testosterone, a male sex hormone responsible for the normal functioning of the reproductive system.
