• Diet What is so much nutritional supplement good for?

  • Sex: Full sexuality with or without andropause

  • 'Antiaging': pills a day to slow down old age

Although 'our mission' should focus on providing our body with the nutrients it needs through

a natural and healthy diet

, supplementation can become a

great ally to compensate for the imbalances

that occur at specific times when our lifestyle it is altered, both by exogenous circumstances (such as the coronavirus) and by endogenous reasons (health problems, hormonal changes, etc.).

Conceived as

supplements to a healthy diet

- never as substitutes - and

prescribed by a specialist

who determines which ones are best for us, supplements can provide that 'plus' that we need to

alleviate certain deficiencies and improve our quality of life

in critical moments like

andropause

, in the case of men.

During this period, in which the man does not lose his fertile capacity, but

his potency and sexual desire

can

be diminished

, diet becomes more important than ever as an "influencing factor in the production of testosterone", according to the specialists of Neolife, Madrid clinic specialized in preventive and anti-aging medicine,

In this scenario,

eating a balanced diet

(which guarantees an adequate supply of proteins, vitamins and minerals) and carrying out a

well-planned

physical activity

is essential to maintain a

healthy weight

, provide the

necessary energy levels

and

avoid the loss of muscle mass

that 'lurks' after 40.

To get where food cannot, Neolife experts recommend the intake of supplements that contain:

Zinc

.

It not only helps in the

maintenance of testosterone production

, down when entering maturity, but also in the

reinforcement of the immune system

, something very necessary in the times of covid-19.

Zinc helps

to improve the mood and look better

, thanks to its beneficial effects on the skin and hair.

It is present in

nuts, dark chocolate, legumes, fish, meat and seafood

.

The diet should provide 11 mg of Zinc per day.

However, the needs may be greater when there are some diseases or in case of malnutrition.

Vitamin D.

Actually, it is a hormone that allows calcium to be absorbed in the intestine and that, in addition,

modulates the immune system in a favorable way

.

We need it for various reasons, but winter, poor nutrition and confinement are responsible for that, today.

we have deficit levels

Vitamin D is found in foods such as

eggs, oily fish

(such as salmon and mackerel), and dried shiitake mushrooms.

The mushrooms also have a good concentration.

The recommendation for daily dietary intake is 600 IU in adults and 800 IU, from 70 years of age.

However, the needs can be much higher if there are risk factors for a vitamin D deficiency, such as low sun exposure, age and certain medical treatments.

Omega 3.

A sedentary lifestyle is increasing cholesterol and triglyceride levels, with a consequent

risk of cardiovascular accidents

that rises in andropause due to the fall in hormonal levels.

In addition to adequate supplementation prescribed by a professional, it is essential to include

avocados and sardines

in the diet

and to season salads with seeds

.

All these 'healthy fats' - unsaturated ones - promote

testosterone production

.

The indicated doses would be 1.6 grams per day in adult men and three to four grams when used to treat high triglycerides.

Antioxidants

We are talking about vitamins C and E and polyphenols and carotenoids, which

prevent the advance of cellular aging.

They are also a

barrier against the negative effects of cortisol

, the stress hormone.

The general recommendation is to take fruits and vegetables, prioritizing

red fruits, tomatoes, carrots and peppers

.

Finally, Neolife experts encourage

cruciferous vegetables

, such as broccoli, cabbage and cabbage,

to be included in the shopping list

for their anti-cancer properties.
