Men's Health at a Glance

It seems with a lot of men the only time they take notice of their bodies is when they break down. If only they put as much care into their bodies as they do their cars, tools, boats etc....
A lot of the time women in a man's life, mother, wife or girlfriend do the look out; and after the men!

Men are hard on their bodies and need them to be strong and healthy. Often with little thought of nutrition, plenty of thought of hunger they often eat on the run.

To compensate for this; men need to consider:

• A multi-vitamin supplement in addition to a good nutrition plan, specifically aimed at men to ensure daily nutrient quota
• A liver supplement for the hard working liver - Milk thistle for live detox
• A multi-B supplement to take care of the nervous system and help minimize stress
• Magnesium for the muscular system
• If over 40, a supplement to aid prostate health and to support normal make physiology function
• A yearly medical check-up

By following this plan your man's health should be in great condition to tackle the work, or that clean up you have been trying to get him to start for the last few weeks.
