What Do Men Really Need?

Women’s health magazines out number men’s health magazines ten to one and many of those that are available for men are focussed on how to grow bigger muscles – not every guy’s main concern!

What about the men who simply want to be healthy and live well? Well, here are some tips for you guys.

The Multivitamin

Nothing can beat a healthy diet for keeping your body in good condition. But for many reasons the modern diet can be seriously deficient in essential nutrients. The best supplement for health insurance is a high quality multivitamin and mineral formula. It can be hard to decipher one multi from the next so here are some features you should look for:

When choosing a multi you first need to ensure there are decent doses of the basic essentials: vitamins A, B, C, D, E and K, and a full range of minerals including boron, calcium, chromium, copper, iodine, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, potassium, selenium, vanadium and zinc.

A sign of a poorly formulated multi is one that skimps on the minerals. Radiance® Multi for Men ticks all the boxes providing all of the above plus a trace mineral concentrate to ensure you are getting all the trace minerals you need.

What about iron? Men are more likely than women to get adequate iron from their diets and less likely to be iron deficient. It is not recommended that people with adequate iron stores take additional iron, as too much iron can be harmful in the body. So, with this in mind Radiance® Multi for Men leaves the iron out.

Other features of Radiance® Multi for Men that make it a stand out choice are:
The nutritious and cleansing green foods spirulina, wheat grass, chlorella, chlorophyll and alfalfa concentrate can be found in each tablet. These provide a very broad range of micro nutrients, to ensure you are getting a little bit of everything you need
The highly antioxidant green tea extract is included for added protection against free radical damage and ageing
Male tonic herb Panax ginseng is included for increased energy and stamina
Digestive enzymes are included to ensure you are able to break down and absorb the nutrients in your multi and in your diet
Amino acids are included to support growth and repair
Good dosages of each nutrient means you only need to take one a day to feel the difference
Lastly, check that there are no unnecessary fillers or nasty additives in your multi. Radiance® Multi for Men keeps it squeaky clean, giving you only what you need and nothing you don’t. Including no gluten, sugar, dairy, salt, or artificial preservatives, flavourings or colourings!

Fats for Health

Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are so called because they are essential to human health but the body cannot make them, so they must be consumed in the diet. They form every single cell membrane and effect the function of every body organ! The only substantial dietary source of omega 3 longchain fatty acids (PUFAs) is fish. A minimum of two portions of oily fish per week are required to give you enough PUFAs for maintaining good health and preventing diseases such as heart disease, dementia or aged macular degeneration (AMD) – the leading cause of blindness.

The two primary omega 3 PUFAs are Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) – big names for little molecules with big jobs! DHA is the primary building block for the brain and the retina of the eye. As you would expect it is required for all brain functions – memory, learning, concentration, mood, cognition and for healthy sight. EPA is found in every cell membrane in the body as it is required for just about everything! One unique benefit of EPA is that it is metabolised in the body to form anti-inflammatory compounds, helping to reduce inflammation making it beneficial for all health concerns where pain and inflammation are a problem, such as arthritis and heart disease. Radiance® Omega 3 EPA & DHA provides you with a balance of both of these PUFAs for brain, joint and heart health.

Healthy Plumbing

The gland every man should know about is the prostate. It is about the size of a walnut, lies just beneath the bladder and provides the fluid that forms ejaculate. Over half of all men will experience some prostate enlargement by the age of 60 and 90% of men by the age of 80.

Because the prostate gland wraps around the urethra the first signs of prostate enlargement are changes to urination such as incomplete emptying or urinating more frequently, particularly at night. While the cause of prostate enlargement is unknown, what is known are the nutrients that can help keep your prostate healthy.

Radiance® ProstAid provides two essential prostate nutrients – zinc and selenium. Statistics show that deficiency of zinc and selenium is common in New Zealand. Radiance® ProstAid additionally provides saw palmetto and pumpkin seed oil for their benefits to prostate health. Just one soft gel daily provides you with strong prostate support.
