Men's Health and Aging Male Syndrome

What is Aging Male Syndrome? This syndrome that occurs to men between the approximate ages of 35 and 65 is a collection of symptoms that occur due to a decline in production of testosterone in a man's body. Low testosterone levels in males are often associated with symptoms of aging and are referred to as andropause or male menopause.

Testerone is an important hormone in men, as it plays important roles in maintaining both physical and mental health. The decline of testosterone is normal in healthy males as they age. However, when hormone levels drop, some common symptoms include:

increased weight, trouble sleeping,decreased sex drive, memory issues, irritability, decreased motivation, self confidence, energy and muscle mass, depression, increased urination and hair loss.

Lowered testosterone is associated with an increase in inflammation and C-Reactive Protein which is a risk factor in cardiovascular events, etc.

The aromatase enzyme is responsible for the conversion of androgens to estrogens. An increased exposure to estrogens from many sources can lesser the amount of testosterone in the body leading to estrogen dominance.

What can you do?

A healthy diet, stress management and an active lifestyle are of utmost importance, along with acupuncture, chiropractic adjustments and specific nutritional supplements.

Tests to consider include: Complete Blood Analysis and a Salivary Hormone Test which tests 4 Cortisols, DHEA, Progestersone, Testosterone and Estrogen.

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that primarily affects the large, weight bearing joints and the joints in the hands. It is a slow, progressive cartilage deterioration followed by "hardening of the joints" due to calcification and bone spur formation. The "joint cushion" deteriorates, which leads to pain and limited movement of the joint.

Signs and symptoms include:

Joint stiffness, pain worse after use, stiffness after rest, creaking joints, swelling, decreased motion and pain with changes in the weather.

Green Is Not Only For St Patrick's Day

Are you interested in losing weight or just staying in shape?

Green vegetables are filling, extremely nutritious and very low in calories. In the amounts commonly consumed, green leafy vegetables provide an abundance of roughage which is an important component of a healthful diet.

Green vegetables contain significantly more fiber than whole grains.
The average American consumes 15 grams of fiber/day, although the recommended amount is about 25-30 grams/day. Diets low in fiber may underlie: constipation, appendicitis, hemorrhoids, varicose veins, diverticulitis, hiatal hernia and gastroesophageal reflux. Fiber is thought to help prevent cancer, diabetes and heart disease.

Promoting good health includes the necessity to eat potassium-rich foods which are vegetables and fruits primarily, as well as animal protein and potatoes. Research recommends 7,000-11,000 mg of potassium/day which should come from your diet. However, the average American consumes about 2,500 mg/day. Diets low in potassium include diseases as high blood pressure, strokes, osteoporosis, GI tract cancers, asthma and insomnia.

In addition to containing high levels of fiber and potassium, green vegetables also contain an abundance of phytochemicals(bioflavenoids and carotenoids) which are known to offer a number of disease-fighting benefits.

Our supplements provide a powerful combination of protein, anti-oxidants, greens and organic sprouts. They support energy, protein balance, detoxification, inflammation, weight, cholesterol levels, a strong immune system, intestinal homeostasis/bowel function, cell repair, and overall good health!
