An interesting change is occurring in health, fashion,
fitness and beauty care—it’s not just a girl thing anymore. You can
thank David Beckam, the British soccer player well-known for wearing
toenail polish and sarongs, for making this trend acceptable.
In the midst of this evolution, a proactive approach to healthcare is emerging and more men are adopting preventative measures like taking supplements, exercising, sleeping well and eating a balanced diet. In fact, new skin care products specifically for men are cropping up everywhere, and last year men had nearly 1.1 million cosmetic procedures—up 31% from 2002. Here are the basic vitamins every savvy guy should take to keep looking his best:
1. A good quality, highly absorbable multivitamin: Minerals and vitamins are needed for almost every biochemical process in the body, including a healthy metabolism, maintaining energy levels and for the production of hormones and brain chemicals crucial to wellness and optimal body composition.
2. EPA/DHA fish oils: Fish oils are naturally anti-inflammatory and are protective to the heart, brain, eyes and blood vessels. They help to protect the brain from the deleterious effects of a stressful lifestyle; they improve concentration and reduce the risk of heart disease. They are also highly moisturizing for the skin.
3. Antioxidants like vitamins C and E, coenzyme Q10 and alpha lipoic acid are essential for anti-aging and overall health. Antixodants such as these slow the aging process and work to prevent cellular damage which occurs from pollution, exposure to the sun, exercise, stress and normal metabolic processes in the body. Antioxidants are the internal fountain of youth, and they protect against cancer.
4. Calcium/magnesium: These two minerals are essential for healthy bones and for building muscles. Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic processes and is a natural muscle relaxant. It may aid sleep as well. Calcium helps with muscle contraction and helps healthy bones, nails and teeth.
5. Whey protein powder: Anyone concerned with fitness should consume whey protein. Whey has been found to be more effective for fat loss than meat protein, which is good news for any carb-restricting, protein-consuming urban male. Whey protein isolates can also serve as source of glutathione, the most potent antioxidant in the body. It also has beneficial effects on the immune system as well as prostate health.
