Andropause - Although men’s hormonal fluctuations are not as severe as women’s during midlife, the male body still needs extra attention during this time.
Also know as “midlife crisis” to the rest of us.
When you are in Andropause, there are a number of natural remedies to address and energize every area of your life.
Diet must be improved and lifestyle changes must be made in order to prevent degenerative disease.
Symptoms are:
• Fatigue
• Slower head hair growth
• Faster ear hair growth
• Loss of muscle mass
• Frequent urination
• Postural changes
• Weight gain around the middle
• Low sex drive
• Depression
The good news is that all of the above symptoms are manageable with very little effort in comparison with the payback you’ll get.
One of the best gifts you can give yourself is to start and maintain an exercising routine. It does not have to be the bone jarring stuff you did in your youth, a brisk walk of 20 minutes every 2nd day will do fine.
I started Muay Thai and train 4 nights a week for 2 hours at a time, that is what I enjoy and it took me 3 months to get to that level. You do what you enjoy.
Lifestyle considerations: Diet, limit red meats, fried foods, full-fat dairy foods, caffeine and sugar. Add more seeds, nuts, oysters and brewer’s yeast, these are good for sexual health.
Exercise is a vital part of male sexuality, improving frequency, satisfaction and performance.
Stress management is vital for sexual health. Stress affects your adrenal glands. Healthy adrenals are needed at Andropause to prevent fatigue and burnout.
Adrenal exhaustion in men is linked to depression and anxiety attacks. It is recommended that you limit the intake of coffee and sugar, get enough sleep and supplement your diet with B complex, adrenal glandular formula, royal jelly and pantothenic acid.
According to the experts men can add years to their lives by knowing how to age properly.
6 Tips for extending your life:
1. Have a personal physician, someone you’ve seen when your temperature normal and you don’t need crutches. Someone you’ve formed a relationship with, so if something does happen there is somebody who knows you.
2. Make close friends. Social interaction and strong friendships keep coming up in research as important predictors of longer and happier lives.
3. Learn how to express anger constructively as opposed to destructively.
4. Know the signs of heart attack and stroke. You can’t change the generally higher death rate from cardiovascular disease, but you can boost their individual survival odds as well as reduce your risk through diet, exercise and periodic blood tests.
5. Let go of the notion that you are invincible or omnipotent. Reducing stress is not a sign of weakness!
6. Don’t take unnecessary risks, wear your seat belt, don’t drive drunk and stretch before your workout.
Simple but effective, don’t you agree?
