There are certain foods that support men’s health. While men tend to focus on proteins – like meat and potatoes – they are other foods that should be on your plate too. Are you eating the right foods? To help, we’ll explore the foods that are best for men.
1. Blueberries
Really, blueberries? It might sound like a strange food to start the list off with, but blueberries offer a lot of nutritional benefits. They contain antioxidants that help counter DNA damage that can lead to cancer, according to TODAY.
2. Salmon
Fish, like Salmon, always seem to make a list of “healthy foods,” but with good reason. Salmon is packed with Omega-3s, which can lower the risk of heart disease – a major problem for men.
3. Nuts
Add a few handfuls of nuts to your diet to get an extra boost in the bedroom. That’s right. You read that right. Spanish researchers have studies that show eating nuts on a regular basis can improve your sex drive and your longevity in the bedroom. Of course, you don’t want to go overboard because nuts are high in fat. Stick with a handful or two a day.
4. Spinach
While spinach might not be high on your list of favorite foods, it’s a healthy one. Spinach has been shown to deter cancer from developing and doubles as a vision-boosting food as it protects your eyes from harmful light.
5. Avocado
Add an avocado to your next turkey sandwich. Why? Avocados can actually help you maintain your weight over time because they’re quite filling. Yes, avocados are fairly high in fat, so they should be used sparingly.
Consider making a few changes to your diet at a time, rather than all at once. Slow changes are more likely to last than large, sweeping changes to your diet. Which of these foods will you try next?
