Neck ties just might be the most popular Father's Day gift in the United States, but wouldn't it be nice to give Dad the gift of a long healthy life? In honor of Father’s Day, here are some of the most important supplements for protecting men’s health.
CHROMIUM TO MANAGE BLOOD SUGAR
Chromium improves the body's sensitivity to insulin, making it easier to keep blood-sugar levels under control. It is one of the best things you can do to help keep insulin levels where they belong.
COENZYME Q10 TO BOOST ENERGY
Your body produces coenzyme Q10 which assists the cells by directing your body's energy supply. But as you get older, production decreases. The only way to get back up to youthful levels is by taking a supplement. CO-Q10 is also packed with free-radical-fighting antioxidants, which may slow the signs of aging.
FOLIC ACID TO CUT ALZHEIMER'S RISK
Folic acid helps prevent clogged arteries and improves blood f low to the brain by keeping down levels of homocysteine, an amino acid that increases your risk of blood clots. High homocysteine levels are associated with early warning signs of Alzheimer's, such as dementia and memory loss.
BORON TO PROTECT YOUR PROSTATE
Men with the highest boron intakes are 65 percent less likely to develop problems than men with lower levels, studies show. American men have one of the lowest boron intakes in the world.
CALCIUM FOR STRONG BONES
Many men are not getting the daily allowance of 1,000 mg. A cup of milk has only
300 mg. It has been found that men with high calcium levels actually weigh less than men with low levels of calcium.
GLUCOSAMINE FOR JOINT SUPPORT
We all lose cartilage as we age. To reverse the damage and actually rebuild cartilage, take glucosamine. Glucosamine can help reduce joint pain and stiffness.
OMEGA-3’S TO PROTECT YOUR HEART
This supplement can help manage blood pressure levels. Omega-3 fatty acids make the blood flow well, which in turn may lower the chances of blood clots that could block the arteries.
