Super Foods For Men

By David Blunkett

These are 5 healthy foods for men. Regularly eating them will ensure you're on your way to a longer lasting, healthier life.

Tomatoes. These contain a useful nutrient called lycopene, which has been shown to be beneficial in preventing prostate cancer in men. To see the full health benefits of it the tomatoes should be condensed, so opt for either tomato juice or tomato sauce as opposed to whole tomatoes.

Oysters. This superfood is a high quality protein source and is great for helping to build lean muscle. Additionally, they supply omega 3's and zinc (which many men are known to be deficient of), and assist in the production of testosterone.

Brazil Nuts. Nuts in general are a great nutrient snack full of fiber, healthy fats and protein. Brazil nuts in particular are recommended though because they are especially high in selenium, which is a mineral that is vital in antioxidant production to fight off disease. In fact, just a single Brazil nut gives you your RDA of it.

Broccoli. There is substantial evidence pointing towards the anti-cancer benefits of this superfood. It's high in minerals and antioxidants that clean your blood arteries and maintain strong and healthy cells throughout your body.

Flaxseed. These are a good source of nutrients, healthy fats and fiber and they help you dispose of toxic compounds. To absorb the full health benefits of them they need to be ground down before they're eaten. After they have been ground they can be added to shakes, cereal and oatmeal.

There are of course other healthy foods to choose from but these are a great place to start. Start this month by increasing the amount of these that you consume, and then each subsequent month add another 5 healthy foods into your regular diet. - 17269
