Men’s Health

Research shows that Men live an average of seven years less than women. Men also suffer from the highest rate of heart and lung disease.

Men also die of heart and lung disease at twice the rate of women. Men are more likely to suffer from mental illness and one in five men have a sexually transmitted disease.

What makes this even more of a problem is that men are less likely to seek professional help.
What health concerns are specific to men?

Heart disease

Heart disease claims more men’s lives than any other disease. One in five men can expect to die from heart disease before they are 75 years old. If your family has a history of heart disease, you have a greater chance of developing it. However, there are many risk factors that you can do something about. To reduce your risk, avoid smoking, eat a healthy diet, exercise (with activities that make your heart work harder for 30 minutes on most days), control blood pressure and stress, cut back on fat and cholesterol, and maintain an ideal body weight.

High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure (hypertension) is a major risk factor for heart disease. If you have high blood pressure over a long period of time, you are more likely to suffer a heart attack, stroke or kidney failure. The first thing to do is have your doctor check your blood pressure. If it is high, your doctor may recommend medication to bring it back to normal. Other steps you can take to reduce your blood pressure include:

weight loss if you are overweight
stress management
regular exercise
stopping smoking.

If you are taking medication to control your blood pressure, it is a good idea to have it checked at least every six months.

Prostate Health

The prostate is a gland located between your bladder and urethra (the tube that takes urine from the bladder to the end of your penis). The prostate produces a thick, white fluid called semen that mixes with the sperm when it is ejaculated in male orgasm. The prostate often enlarges when men reach their mid- 40s, and the symptoms of this, which are very common in men aged over 50 years, are:

feeling that you have not completely emptied your bladder after urinating
waking up often at night to urinate
urinating often
needing to push or strain to start the urine stream.

An enlarged prostate can lead to urine infections, and, rarely, a complete urine blockage. In some men, the problems of an enlarged prostate go away on their own. In other men, the problems need treatment, which ranges from supplementation, medication to surgery.

A healthy lifestyle can make the difference in your quality of life.

Make a few simple changes:

Eating correctly
Exercise regularly
Supplementation Program
Manage stress

Essential Omega-3 Complex

American Heart Association Recommends Omega-3
To optimize heart health, the American Heart Association (AHA) recommends eating two servings of fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids each week. But many aren't able to do this. So in November of 2002, the AHA recommended fish oil capsules for those who aren't eating enough fish.

Essential Omega-3 Complex is a natural marine lipid concentrate, formulated with the oil of cold-water fish - sardines, mackerel, herring, and anchovies - which is the best source for omega-3 fatty acids.
