How to Beat Male Menopause
- Eat right. The traditional Asian diet, with its foundation of rice or other grains, an abundance of vegetables, fruits, beans, tofu, and legumes, a limited amount of meat and other animal foods, and virtually no dairy products, is a good foundation for healthy eating.
-
Stay physically fit. Engage in regular exercise that includes the following components: cardiorespiratory (aerobic) endurance, muscular strength, and flexibility.
-
Take vitamins and supplements for health.
-
Take herbs to balance the system and protect the prostate.
-
Get regular health checkups. Regular health care visits and screenings are important contributors to men's health and longevity. Men make fewer doctors visits a year than women.
-
Check hormone levels as you get older. Generally between forty and fifty-five a number of important hormones in a man's body begin to decline.
-
Reduce stress and worry in your life. Stress is a major source of trouble for men at midlife.
Embrace a sexuality appropriate to the second half of life. In the second half of life, a man's sexuality expands to include more emphasis on friendship, love, intimacy, and spirituality.
