And Stay Healthy with Supplements
A Good Multivitamin
: This multi-tasking supplement is necessary for all men - especially those that don`t eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Be sure to buy a formula created exclusively for men. Women`s multivitamins often contain iron. Not only do most men not need the extra iron, too much increases your risk of heart problems.
Creatine
: This supplement is a must if you workout hard or lift weights. Studies show that Creatine packs a double punch: it speeds post-exercise muscle recovery and promotes muscle mass growth. For convenience, creatine can be mixed with protein powder.
Protein Powder
: The advantages of protein powder are endless. First of all, it`s low in calories - making it easy to boost your protein intake without gaining weight. Second, drinking a protein shake after your workout helps with recovery and supplies the muscles with amino acids for growth. Protein powders are made from a variety of sources, including casein, whey, soy and egg. In addition to using protein powder in shakes or smoothies, try adding it to sauces, hot cereals and yogurt.
Lycopene
: This antioxidant found in red tomatoes has been proven to reduce the risk of prostrate cancer - a leading killer of American men. Don`t like tomatoes? Take Lycopene as a supplement!
Green Tea
: The wonders of green tea never cease to amaze! Besides its anti-inflammatory prosperities and cancer-fighting antioxidants, green tea burns fat. Think of green tea as a weight loss drink. If you prefer not to consume eight or more cups a day, try taking as a supplement such as a concentrated liquid or capsule. Green tea also does wonders for your skin.
Fish Oil
: It`s never too early (or late) to start thinking about heart disease - especially if you have a family history of heart-related problems. Experts say that fish oil (one to two grams daily) helps prevent heart disease. Go for a high quality brand rather than a cheap one. Otherwise, look forward to an unpleasant fishy taste that can last all day.
Siberian Ginseng
: Need a pick me up? Ginseng is an herb that helps the blood circulate more efficiently and energizes the body. Plus, it`s healthier than loading up on caffeine.
Saw Palmetto
: This herb is helpful for men starting to show signs of hair loss. Although it won`t give you a full head of hair, experts say that it can slow down the rate at which you lose it. It has also been shown to beneficial to prostrate health.
