Approximately every 40 seconds, someone in the United States will have a heart attack.  Heart disease is the #1 killer of men and they are twice as likely as women to die from a heart attack.  About 1 in every 4 male deaths is due to heart disease. 



Diet 
A healthy diet goes a long way for a healthy heart.  Half of your meal's plate should be filled with fresh fruits and vegetables.  Focus on nutrient-dense foods and lean proteins chicken, turkey, fish, Greek yogurt, beans, and lentils. Foods with high fat and/or carbohydrate content should only be eaten in moderation; examples include white bread, pasta, pizza, fried foods, pastries or cookies, processed meats and cheeses, and most fast-food meals.  Check out a few more tips here.  

Cholesterol is often considered a "culprit" in cardiovascular disease.  Diet is definitely a good place to start.  However, cholesterol is actually something the body needs.  Learn more about a healthy way to manage cholesterol here.

Stress 
The male mentality often tends to avoid discussing their feelings and as a result have more difficulty handling stress compared to women. Stress itself is linked to higher blood pressure and body weight, so it’s important to take time to focus on activities that will help relieve stress.

It is natural to feel stress, anxiety, grief, and worry during traumatic events such as mass shootings, natural disasters, pandemics and unexpected family events. Below are ways that you can help yourself, others, and your community manage stress.
  • Take breaks from watching, reading, or listening to news stories
  • Take deep breaths, stretch, or meditate
  • Eat healthy, exercise, get plenty of sleep
  • Talk to others
  • Avoid drugs and alcohol
  • Recognize when you need more help
  • Use calming and stress-reducing products
  • Use essential oils to de-stress.  There are too many oils and oil blends to mention that contain constituents known to help calm, relax and turn off the brain to assist in winding down.  Sometimes the reason for the stress will determine the best oil your body will respond to.

Men tend to accept changes in their bodies as just part of the aging process. However, most symptoms of “aging” are actually caused by a hormone imbalance, which affects not only testosterone, but also cortisol and thyroid levels. It is true that as men age, they are more likely to experience male hormone imbalance, but there are other contributing factors as well. 


Hormones regulate the various systems in the human body, including digestion, growth, metabolism, mood, movement, reproduction, respiration, stress, and tissue function, among others. When your hormones are unbalanced, it can affect virtually all aspects of your overall health and functioning.


Aging definitely plays a role in male hormone imbalance. Male growth hormones tend to steadily decrease after the age of 20. By age 40, most men retain only half of their original growth hormones, and by age 80 they typically retain only 5%. Still, this can be affected by other factors, including:
  • Activity level
  • Dietary choices
  • Genetics
  • Injuries
  • Medications
  • Stress

Here are just a few of the most common symptoms:
  • Cognitive decline
  • Depression
  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Fatigue
  • Hair loss
  • Loss of muscle mass
  • Low sex drive
  • Memory loss
  • Weight gain

Most male hormone imbalances fall into one of four types:
  • Andropause: Also known as male menopause, this is the most common type of male hormonal imbalance.
  • Adrenal fatigue: If you are stressed out for a long time, your adrenal glands could lower the production of cortisol, a stress hormone.
  • Hypothyroidism: This condition occurs when the thyroid gland becomes underactive.
  • Hyperthyroidism: This condition occurs when the thyroid gland becomes overactive

As some men get older, the prostate gland can become enlarged, a condition known as benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH. This increased size puts pressure on the urethra and interferes with urine flow. BPH is not the same as prostatic cancer, but the symptoms can be uncomfortable and interfere with your quality of life. 

Benign prostatic hyperplasia is the most common prostate problem for men older than age 50. It affects about 50 percent of men between the ages of 51 and 60 and up to 90 percent of men older than 80.

A balanced and nutritious diet is recommended for men with BPH. Because the incidence of BPH increases with age, it is important to follow a healthy diet as you get older. Certain foods have been found to impact the health of the prostate and can help reduce the problems associated with age-related prostate enlargement.

  • Salmon: The omega-3 fatty acids in this fish help prevent inflammation that can trigger prostate enlargement
  • Berries: All berries are full of antioxidants that prevent free radical damage known to trigger prostate inflammation
  • Nuts: Nuts are full of zinc, which is a mineral found in the prostate that helps to balance testosterone and DHT
  • Cruciferous vegetables: Broccoli, cauliflower, and kale contain the chemical sulforaphane, which targets cancer cells and protects the prostate.
