Men definitely are less health and preventation oriented than women, part cultural and part just being male.

Bullet-proofing only lasts until the flak-jacket fails. Even then acceptance of medications and supplements is not high on priority stakes for most men. Fortunately for the cave-master, the cave-CEO is there to ensure compliance. Thankgoodness for wives and partners!

Men are more than ever discovering that potential mentally and physically is not ensured as of male right for ever and action can optimise even enhance robust health.

As men age, and there are great variations in the rate of physical and mental decline both from male to male and over different age ranges. We all have seen friends who seem younger than their age and the converse, looking aged far beyond their years. This equally applies to females. The key to most of the issues of poor health, accelerated ageing etc is inflammation in affected parts of the body. It is this that must be reduced by diet, detoxification and targeted supplements.

Many factors influence ageing:

We will deal with areas that can be 'treated' or optimised.

Hormonal Production

Male hormones are termed 'androgens' as they confer male or androgenic features. The common ones are testosterone (T), dihydro-testosterone (DHT), androstendione (A'dione), dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA).

Mostly produced by the testes, but also by adrenals and fatty tissue, they gradually decline as the testicle Leydig cells fail. There are 700 million of these at 18 and only a third left by 70. It is not just the amount of hormone we have but also how efficiently the homone can access cell receptor sites and the actuall health of the cell to respond!

See the Hormone Chart for the biochemistry details of 'what goes where.'

So what happens to men when they lose their hormone levels?

Its termed the 'Andropause' or 'male menopause'. Unlike the typical female menopause men usually dont have a relatively sudden onset of symptoms. Rather, men develop gradual changes which usually are either not noticed as such or put down to 'getting older' - or other more derogatory names!.

Typical would be:

Do a men's health hormone questionnaires for a full review. Refer to right side-bar.

Diet - one of the best diets is the Mediterranean types. Read more >>

Exercise - Unquestionably important to maintain cardiovascular fitness. Preferably something you enjoy. No point signing up at the gym if you dont enjoy going. Maybe you prefer regular gardening, landscaping, cycling etc. Perhaps own a treadmill, rower or exer-cycle and listen to the iPod or watch TV to allay the boredom!

Weight training can restore muscles again to young adult size as long as you have good nutrition and optimum hormone levels.

What about the PROSTATE !

Heart disease and cancer are the most likely catastrophes a man may encounter right when he least needs this - middle-age, kids grown up, planning more leisure time after all those years of long hours. Of the cancers, colon and prostate are highest.

Avoidance is a better proposition than later hospitals, doctors, IV drips, unpleasant physical intrusions, surely. Did you know that men with higher testosterone levels have less heart attacks and prostate cancer! We shall explore ways to help to avoid the prostate cancer trip.
