Men’s Health and Wellness Through the Years

Men's health and wellness needs go through many changes as the years move on. As your wellness partner, Health Products For You wants to keep you informed every step of the way! As men age, their health needs change. Common sense tells us that wellness needs during our 20s are different than those in our 40s. The dictionary defines wellness as “the state of being in good health, especially as an actively pursued goal.” Not only do wellness needs change over time, but so do our bodies. These changes alter our health requirements as we age. HPFY can walk you through the wellness changes a man needs through the years.

Different Ages. Different Needs

As men age, their health, wellness, and nutritional needs change. The natural process of aging changes with aging. So how do we know what our wellness needs are throughout the years? Obviously, it is not as simple as a one-size-fits-all approach.

A general breakdown of wellness as we men, age may look something like this:

The 20s-30s: As men enter their 20s and progress into their 30s, studies suggest men require 60-70g of protein per day. Also, 7-8 hours of sleep per night provides health benefits such as maintaining proper weight, healthy blood pressure, and lowering the risk of diabetes. Nutrients that should be in diets include omega-3 fats, potassium, calcium, and iron. Regular exercise and portion control are also critical during your 20s-30s.

• Nature’ s Way Alive Men’s Energy Multi-Vitamins Gummies: A daily way to support heart and eye health, muscle function, and immune health. The 15 vitamins and minerals (including 8 B-vitamins) convert food into cellular energy and are specially balanced for men’s health.

The 40s-50s: The biggest concern for men as we exit our 30s is weight gain. Watching what we eat can be critical to maintaining a healthy weight. It is recommended that men eat two servings of fruit and five servings of vegetables every day since this is when our metabolism starts to slow down.

Exercising is also critical in maintaining male wellness and reducing stress (which also increases with age). It is also important at this stage to get screenings such as prostate exams, testicular screenings, and skin cancer screenings.

As we get into our 40s-50s, heart disease becomes more of an issue. If you smoke, please stop! The American Cancer Society recommends at age 50, every man should have a colonoscopy.

Nutritional Supplements for your 40s and 50s

• Nature’s Way Alive Once Daily Men’s 50+ Multi-Vitamin Tablets: Designed for men in their 50s, this daily supplement provides B-vitamins, vitamin D3, calcium, and citrus bioflavonoids for prostate, cardiovascular, and mind/body energy.
• myLAB Box at Home Men’s Health Test Kit: As middle-aged men become affected by reduced hormone production, this kit measures testosterone, cortisol, DHEA, and estradiol levels. It takes only five minutes, and results are experienced within 2-5 days.

60 & Older: The older we become, the more crucial it is to stay on top of our everyday wellness. Simple things like staying hydrated become more important.

Also, be sure to get the appropriate amount of sleep per night since it helps with our overall health and stress management. Exercise becomes more crucial also. Only 15%-20% of adults get 15 minutes of exercise 3-4 times a week. Not only does it help men maintain cardiovascular health and muscle tone, but regular exercise can also help maintain flexibility. As we lose flexibility, our chances of falling and getting injured increase. Some options for achieving these goals are:

• Norco Exercise Tubing Kit: Resistance training/exercising is a great low impact exercise routine that can benefit anyone. This kit includes a five ft. length each of levels 1-4 exercise tubing. Two handles and one north coast exercise loop attachment are included.
• Life Extension Ultra Prostate Formula Softgels: Maintaining a healthy prostate becomes more vital as we age. The beta-sitosterol and saw palmetto promote healthy prostate function and urine flow. These can maintain healthy prostate-specific antigens (PSA) levels and support prostate cell health.

Yes, aging can be complicated! Men need to stay on top of their overall wellness starting in their 20s and into their golden years!

We also must change our approach to match the needs of our bodies as they change. Be sure to check with your doctor or physician before starting any supplement routine or exercise program, and visit Health Products For You for all your male wellness needs.
