I can’t tell you how many times one of my male patients will ask me for the best diet advice to address all his particular issues, weight, cholesterol, hormones, etc. They want to know what they should eat, what they shouldn’t eat, when, how much. Maybe you’ve been researching various types of diets and wondering the same thing. Here’s what I tell my male patients.
You might be thinking you’d like to give raw food diet a try. Why not? Even if you don’t know exactly how to begin to prepare raw foods, you can ease into it by following some very simple recipes. I suggest you begin by trying a few recipes you can do in your own kitchen without purchasing a high tech blender or dehydrator. I have chosen a few simple recipes that you can try using nothing more than a household blender and a chopping block. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do.
As a man, you do face age-related hormonal changes. They may not be as drastic and as sudden as the changes a woman experiences during menopause, but you do experience a gradual change over a long period of time. And this change can take a real toll on your health.
We need to be aware of how much salt we’re taking in daily to ensure that we stay near a healthy level.
However, a “healthy level” for salt intake has become a controversial subject. The FDA states we should keep our salt intake levels under 2400 mg a day while the World Health Organization states an unbelievably high 6,000 mg a day! The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends about 1200-1500 mg is best if you are over the age of 50. Who’s right?
