Tonic One: Boron – The Treasure of the Prostate
The incidence of prostate cancer in men is trending higher and higher, and prostate cancer has been the biggest killer of men. Foreign studies have found that men with a high intake of boron have a 65% lower chance of developing prostate cancer than men with a low intake. This indicates that intake of the right amount of boron can effectively reduce the occurrence of prostate cancer. Eating more tomatoes will also protect the prostate, just because tomatoes are richer in boron inside.
Amount: Boron is widely found in fruits and nuts. The American Association for Drug Research found that 3 mg of boron per day is the most appropriate dose, a dose that just produces anti-cancer effects, and at this dose boron can also improve memory and concentration. Other foods rich in boron include grapes, dried fruits, avocados, red wine and grape juice. Another way to both cure and quench your thirst is to eat vanilla ice cream. This is because boron is contained in vanilla ice cream.
Tonic II: omega-3s fatty acids – “heart protection” for men
Expert omega-3s fatty acids prevent platelets in the blood from aggregating and clumping together to form clots, allowing for increased blood flow, which can lower blood pressure and triglyceride levels as well as maintain a regular heartbeat. Studies have proven that omega-3s fatty acids do reduce mortality from heart disease. Researchers have also found omega-3s to be effective in treating autoimmune diseases (such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus) and in regulating the lipid content of brain cells and slowing down brain cell aging.
Amount: One gram per day is enough. However, for those men with heart problems daily intake should be two to four grams of this fatty acid has a certain fishy smell. Foods such as sardines, tuna and herring are considered good sources of omega-3s fatty acids. The consumption of omega-3s fatty acids must not be overdone either, because excess omega-3s fatty acids can he increased risk of getting the flu.
Supplement 3: Folic acid keeps men away from early Alzheimer’s
Researchers in Sweden have found that men have a high incidence of early Alzheimer’s. Increased cysteine can increase the incidence of early Alzheimer’s disease, resulting in early symptoms such as mental retardation and memory loss, plus cysteine is an amino acid that promotes blood clotting. Further studies have found that folic acid can effectively lower cysteine levels, thereby increasing the amount of blood entering the brain, and thus folic acid can help prevent arterial emboli formation. This is good news for the person who suffers from work stress and is at risk of developing early Alzheimer’s.
Amount: Taking just 500 mcg per day can reduce cysteine levels by 18 percent or more. Food sources of folic acid include citrus, beans, and cereals.
Tonic 4: Calcium to harden men’s bones
Chinese men’s daily calcium intake from food is far from enough to meet their body’s needs, and middle-aged men are losing calcium every day. Studies have found that men who consume more calcium have stronger bones and are slimmer on average than men who consume less, which means that proper calcium supplementation also has a weight loss effect, which is no less good news for men who have big bellies.
Amount: The medical recommendation for men is 1 gram of calcium per day, but most men fail to do this. Calcium citrate is better for absorption. You can distribute your intake in this way: half of the amount in the morning, which is about 600 mg, and the other half in the evening, because this way you can take it to achieve maximum absorption. In fact, one glass of milk contains 300 mg of calcium! Drinking more milk will also solve the problem. Also be careful not to take more than 2.5 grams of calcium supplements, as that can be dangerous.
Supplement 5: Coenzyme Q10 to stimulate male energy
Coenzyme Q10, also known as ubiquinone, is a fat-soluble natural vitamin-like substance found in many organisms. Coenzyme Q10 can help the body’s cells try to get energy, which can stimulate the release of male energy and is a way to keep him young and energetic. It is also a natural antioxidant produced by the cells themselves, but as men age, their bodies produce less Q10 coenzyme accordingly. Recent studies have also shown that coenzyme Q10 can enhance immune function and fight cancer, Parkinson’s disease and Huntington’s disease! And it can thin the blood, thus preventing heart disease.
Quantity: A real natural health supplement craze has developed within the United States in recent years, and Coenzyme Q10 is very popular with Western consumers because of its precise effects. Researchers recommend that 100 mg per day is most appropriate. This substance can be purchased at health food stores.
Supplement 6: Chitosan – a lubricant for men’s joints
As you may have noticed, the 30-something no longer has the same supple joints he had when he was 19, due to a decrease in chitin in his body. The British journal The Lancet published a study of 200 people with joint disease over three consecutive years, which reported that chitosan reduced joint pain and increased joint strength by 25%, and also prevented progressive rheumatoid knee osteoarthritis. Therefore, chitosan can prevent joint damage, thus making him physically fit. In addition, Japanese research has confirmed that chitosan has immune strengthening effect and helps to reduce the damage of tumor cells; in today’s increasingly serious environmental pollution, reducing the accumulation of heavy metals in the body chitosan helps to eliminate waste from the body, while ensuring the normal functioning of human physiology.
Amount: Let him take 1.5 grams of chitin daily, and it will be more effective if taken together with chondroitin. Adding shrimp and crab to the diet can increase the intake of chitosan.
Tonic seven: vitamin E to slow down his aging
Vitamin E is one of the most effective antioxidant substances available. Studies have also found that vitamin E also has the effect of reducing muscle damage after exercise. Free radical oxidation can cause cell damage and contribute to aging as well as increase the incidence of various diseases. When men are young, their normal physiology can produce antioxidants to counteract the oxidation of free radicals. However, when men reach the age of 30-40, they will have more and more free radicals and less and less antioxidants in their bodies. Therefore, for men who are under the daily pressure of survival, vitamin E supplementation is an effective way to prevent aging.
Amount: Use 400 IU per day, since most people can only get a small amount of vitamin E from their daily diet (mixed foods contain 45 IU). You can boost his vitamin E intake by having him eat some dried fruits and oils. In nature, vitamin E is widely distributed in foods such as animal and vegetable fats, egg yolks, milk, fruits, and lettuce leaves, and is more abundant in wheat germ oil, corn oil, peanut oil, and cottonseed oil. It is best to buy natural vitamin E rather than synthetic, as the latter is not easily utilized by the body.
Tonic eight: zinc – the substance of “sexual well-being
According to some statistics, zinc is essential for the production of more than two hundred enzymes in the human body and nine chemical signaling systems in the brain – neurotransmitters. This is because zinc has an important role in maintaining cell integrity, cell proliferation, gene regulation, nucleic acid metabolism and immune function. Male semen contains a high concentration of zinc, so men who are sexually active are prone to zinc deficiency and should supplement zinc regularly to help maintain vigorous sexual function. Zinc also assists in maintaining brain function.
Amount: The recommended intake standard is 800mg/day, but the latest dietary survey shows that less than 1/3 of Chinese men’s zinc intake meets the requirement. zinc-rich foods include seafood (oysters, shellfish, sea fish), lean meat, coarse grains and legumes.
