Top 5 Health Foods For Men

By Darren Bent

These are 5 health superfoods for men. Regularly eating them will ensure you're well on your way to living a long and healthy life.

Tomatoes. This fruit (it's a fruit, not a vegetable due to it having seeds) contains a useful nutrient called lycopene, which has been shown to be beneficial in preventing prostate cancer in men. To get the full health benefits of it the tomatoes should be condensed, so opt for tomato sauce and tomato juice (without additives or sugar) rather than whole tomatoes.

Oysters. This superfood is a high quality protein source and is great for helping to build lean muscle. Additionally, they provide omega 3's and zinc, of which lots of men are lacking, and aid in testosterone production.

Brazil Nuts. Nuts in general are full of fiber, healthy fats and protein. Brazil nuts in particular are recommended though because they are packed with selenium, a mineral that is vital in antioxidant production to fend off disease. In fact, just a single one will give you your recommended daily allowance of selenium.

Broccoli. Studies have resulted in considerable evidence pointing towards the anti-cancer benefits of this superfood. It's high in fiber, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that both clean your blood arteries and keep cells strong and healthy throughout your body.

Flaxseed. Flaxseeds are a good source of nutrients and fiber and they help you dispose of toxins. To acquire the full health benefits from them they must be ground down prior to consumption. Once ground you can add them to cereal, oatmeal, meatballs and shakes.

There are plenty of other healthy foods for men but these are a great place to start. Begin by increasing your consumption of these, and then each subsequent month add another 5 healthy foods into your regular diet. - 17274
