Foods That Help Men Live Longer

By Tom Fay

Here are five superfoods for men. Regularly eating them will ensure you're on your way to living a long and healthy life.

Tomatoes. These contain a useful nutrient called lycopene, which has been shown to be beneficial in preventing prostate cancer in men. To get the complete health benefits of it the tomatoes should be broken down, so go for tomato sauce and tomato juice as opposed to whole tomatoes.

Oysters. This superfood is a high quality source of protein that is perfect for helping to build lean muscle. Additionally, they supply omega 3's and zinc, of which lots of men are lacking, and assist in testosterone production.

Brazil Nuts. Nuts in general are full of fiber and protein. Brazil nuts in particular are recommended though because they are especially high in selenium, a mineral that is vital in antioxidant production to fight off disease. Eating just a single one will give you your RDA of selenium.

Broccoli. There is considerable evidence pointing towards the anti-cancer benefits of this superfood. It's full of fiber, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that both detoxify your blood arteries and keep cells strong and healthy

Flaxseed. Flaxseeds are a good source of nutrients and fiber and they help the body get rid of toxic compounds. For your body to acquire the full benefits from them they must be ground prior to consumption. After they have been ground they can be added to shakes, cereal and oatmeal.

There are plenty of other healthy foods for men but these are a good start. Start this month by increasing the amount of these that you consume, and then add additional healthy foods to your regular diet month by month. - 17273
