The following wellness tip is from eatright.org – the American Dietetic Association.

Food is more than just fuel. Your diet can help fight disease and keep you looking and acting younger. How a man eats throughout his life can help predict how well (or not) he ages.

Eating Right

A healthy diet for men includes: 

  • At least 2 cups of fruits and 2 ½ cups of vegetables each day. At least once a week, eat tomatoes or something made from tomatoes like pasta sauce. The antioxidant lycopene found in tomato products is good for prostate health.
  • At least five 1-ounce servings of whole grains each day. Replace refined grains with whole-grain bread, cereal, pasta, brown rice or oats
  • At least two to three servings of fish per week
  • At least 38 grams of fiber a day for younger men; 30 grams of fiber a day for men older than 50
  • Unsaturated fats like oils, nuts and salad dressings in place of saturated fats like full-fat dairy foods, butter and high-fat sweets
  • 4,700 milligrams a day of potassium from fruits, vegetables, fish and milk.
