June is Men’s Health Month and it is a time for men of any age to become more educated on the leading health conditions in the US and truly take control of their health. Here are a few tips that can help you adopt a healthier lifestyle:
Recognize Preventable Health Problems Early – Be aware of potential health concerns, even if you aren’t sick or injured. Your doctor can help you identify problems like being overweight or experiencing depression or anxiety. It’s important to see a doctor or health care professional for regular checkups and preventive screenings.
Get Regular Screenings – Many men perceive regular screenings as unnecessary. IDLife advocates for the benefits of prevention and we advise that you check with your doctor to determine what tests you need based on your age and risk factors. Important health screening tests for men include:
• Blood pressure screening
• Cardiovascular screening
• Colorectal cancer exams
• Prostate cancer exams
• Skin cancer exams
The Big Issue – Prostate Health
IDNutrition provides nutritional support to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle but this month there is one issue we wish to emphasize – Prostate Health.
Prostate Health should be valued by every man. More than 30 million men suffer from prostate conditions that can negatively impact their quality of life. Those conditions can range from minor inconveniences to more serious medical issues.
IDNutrition’s Male Support Formula is designed with ingredients that help maintain healthy prostate function. This potent formula provides nutritional benefits delivered by individual ingredients along with a blend of supportive nutrients, including powerful combinations of amino acids, minerals, and botanicals that have an impressive history of prostate support.*
A primary example is L-Alanine and Glutamic Acid. The two ingredients have been shown to work together to support healthy urination and overall prostate health. A study combining these two amino acids with Glycine, another amino acid found in IDNutrition’ s Male Support formula, proved to be a powerful combination that works synergistically to promote a healthy prostate.*
Silymarin (Milk Thistle), known for its detoxification and antioxidant properties, was found in studies be a powerful protective agent for the prostate. Additionally, studies indicate that men with higher levels of Selenium had healthier prostates overall. This powerful duo of Milk Thistle and Selenium provide antioxidant protection from free radical damage, further protecting the prostate and its function.*
The Male Support Formula also includes additional help from trace minerals such as Zinc, which plays an active role in prostate health, Saw Palmetto, widely studied and used in both Europe and the U.S. to support blood vessel health, and Pygeum, a botanical that helps with urinary support.*
The Takeaway
Prostate problems faced by some 30 million men in their 60’s and 70 actually begin to develop decades earlier. Men over the age of 50 should start thinking about medical supervision regarding prostate health. In addition, proper nutrition and nutrients should be considered to help support healthy prostate function.
The IDNutrition Male Support Formula is uniquely formulated to use both powerful single nutrients with a history of supporting prostate health as well as potent combinations of nutrients that work synergistically to provide a comprehensive network of prostate support.*
Men’s health is highlighted during the month of June but should be a topic we feel comfortable with throughout the year. Recognize preventable health problems early, get regular health screenings, and be vigilant with your prostate health.
