Men, Be Proactive With Your Health

We want our husbands, fathers, brothers, uncles and grandfathers, all indispensable parts of our families, to live long, healthy lives. Reliv International nutritional supplements can help them do just that. Distributors of Reliv supplements are honoring National Men"s Health Week, June 15th to June 21st, by offering tips on how men can step up their healthy defenses. "Unfortunately, men"s tendencies to skip routine doctor visits and just tough things out set them up for unforeseen complications and particular health risks," said Dr. Carl Hastings, Reliv International"s chief scientific officer. "But, by being proactive and following a few simple steps, they can significantly improve their quality of life and lessen their chances of being stricken with disease." Hastings recommends that men incorporate the following tips to avoid the onset of some of the most common male-specific health conditions: - According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), heart disease is the leading cause of death in men. Hastings recommends that local males fight these odds by controlling their cholesterol levels with plenty of exercise and a diet low in saturated fat. Supplementation with plant-based compounds known as phytosterols has also shown to have positive effects. - One of the most common cancers to inflict American men, prostate cancer, develops from both genetic and dietary factors. While it may not be possible to entirely prevent the cancer from occurring, a diet high in vegetables, fruits and whole grains can lower the risk. Supplementation with Vitamin E and selenium also may play a role in prevention. - Occurring in multiple forms, diabetes is a disease that should not go ignored. While losing excess weight will lessen the chances of developing the condition, it is also advised that men have their blood glucose levels tested regularly to determine the risk of onset. The addition of certain plant-based ingredients, such as cinnamon, to the diet may help manage blood sugar levels. Reliv International
