Men's Health.
Why is Womens Health Better?
Men's Health lets look at these two words shall we?
Men. The very word conjures up images of strength, vitality, and health.
However, the reality is that women outlive men, and are much healthier overall. Why is that?
In fact, World Health Organization studies show that men are much less informed about their health needs than women are, and are more reluctant to see a physician.
Hey, Get to the Doctor!
This is probably the biggest stumbling block against Men's Health that I can think of.
Men also do not tend to seek out treatment until a condition is advanced. This severely limits your chances for achieving a full recovery.
Now if you are a lady reading this, how true is that statement? No wonder men's health is so poor in relation to you ladies.
According to statistics from the Centers for Disease Control, the greatest risks to mens health come from heart disease, prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and colon cancer.
What many people don't know is the risks from all of these conditions can be reduced with good nutrition. Unfortunately, the deadly truth is many men aren’t getting the nutrients they need to bolster their health.
Some men are aware of these health risks. What they may not know is that some health risks are statistically higher for particular ethnic groups.
For example, the Center for Disease Control reports that in relation to all mens health issues, African Americans have a higher risk for prostate cancer than Caucasians, and prostate cancer is the most common cancer among Hispanic men. Testicular cancer is more common among Caucasian men, but Hispanic, Native American, and Asian men develop testicular cancer at a higher rate than African American men.
And colon cancer, which kills 57,000 Americans a year, hits African Americans the hardest. They have the highest incidence and resultant death rates of any ethnic group.
Heart disease is the biggest all-around killer of all genders and ethnic groups.
However, African American men have the highest mortality rate due to heart disease of any group in the world.
Cardiovascular disease is also the leading cause of death among Hispanics, killing 33,000 Hispanic Americans each year - more than cancer, diabetes, and AIDS combined!
The above statistics are not just alarming— they’re frightening!
However, there are nutritionally sound ways for all men to reduce risk and live a healthy, vibrant life.
According to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy G. Thompson, who just announced a national campaign aimed at reducing the risk of chronic diseases among African-American men, prevention and immunity begin with 9 servings of fruits and vegetables a day.
"These leading causes of death are largely preventable through changes in our lifestyle choices," Thompson explains. "The '9-A-Day' campaign will help us to start emphasizing prevention of this epidemic by letting African-American men know the vital importance of eating fruits and vegetables to their overall health.
"Because men, in general, don’t eat enough fruits and vegetables, they lose the protective power of fruits and vegetables unique phytonutrients.
As a result, many men are at a higher risk of disease than they need to be."
Pretty interesting statement from an independent source don't you think?
Now we need to find a supplement-that-works to change this statistic. We can start improving men's health which is one of the reasons I started this website.
So my first question was what does he mean by Phytonutrient Power?
Phytonutrients such as carotenoids and flavonoids have been shown in dozens of studies to protect the heart, defend the cells, and increase immunity.
U.S. Government statistics show that men aren’t eating the recommended daily 5 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables, nor getting the variety needed for optimal health.
Heart Protection
The latest research shows that cardiovascular health depends heavily on two normal components in your blood: lipids and homocysteine. Both require specific nutrients to maintain optimum cardiovascular health.
In fact, a recent study published in the British Journal of Nutrition underscores the importance of controlling homocysteine levels as a means of maintaining heart health.
Although you may be healthy in all other respects, imbalances or disruptions of natural male functions can occur that undermine feelings of wellness and male vitality.
Remember, real men take care of their health.
