The Path to Men’s Wellbeing: Unlocking Your Optimal Health

As men move into their golden years, it becomes increasingly important to focus on building health habits in order to maintain healthy bones, prevent early aging, balance energy levels, and even ways to support a healthy prostate.*

Let’s dive in to some simple things most people can start doing today and kickstart the path to  optimal health and improved wellbeing.*

Build a Strong Foundation

Strong bones are crucial at any age. Osteoporosis, often associated with women, is also a significant concern for men. To maintain bone health, try incorporating some of these habits into your lifestyle:

  • Weighted workouts: Engaging in weightlifting, stressing your bones can help build bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis.*†

  • Calcium-rich diet: Calcium is a main bone building block. Foods such as dairy products, leafy greens, and supplementing with formulas like Coral Calcium can help support bone strength.*†

  • Vitamin D: Without Vitamin D, the body cannot effectively absorb calcium. Because men’s ability to produce vitamin D through sunlight exposure decreases with age, consider taking vitamin D supplements like Vitamin D3 to maintain adequate levels for optimal bone health.*†

Maintain Your Youthfulness

Aging is a natural process, but adopting certain anti-aging strategies can help keep the body more focused and energized:

  • Antioxidant Rich Foods: Blueberries, kidney beans, cranberries and blackberries are just a few of many foods that provide essential nutrients and antioxidants that combat cellular damage.*†
  • Adequate sleep: Quality rest plays a vital role in cellular repair, hormone regulation, and overall wellbeing. A good night’s sleep has also been linked to having improved cognitive function, steady energy levels, and help support a healthy immune response.*†
  • Stress management: Chronic stress can accelerate aging. Try implementing some relaxation techniques, such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, or finding new hobbies to help reduce stress levels.*†

Supplement with Vitamins and Minerals

To make sure you get the proper nutrition that can fuel your body, consider exploring a range of high-quality, natural supplements that can support your overall health goals. 

From bone-strengthening formulas to anti-aging antioxidants, these Men’s Health formulas can help support you on your journey and give your body the nutrients it needs and nurture your wellbeing.

Remember, it’s never too late to start prioritizing your health. Begin making positive changes today and unlock the potential for a vibrant and fulfilling life ahead.

Stop Neglecting Your Health… It’s Time to Make It #1!

As we close out Men’s Health Month, we ask that you take a step back from the day-to-day and give yourself some much-needed TLC, you deserve it. 

Many of us tend to devote a lot of time and energy to careers, families, and household responsibilities among other things, while oftentimes neglecting self-care in the process. 

Don’t worry, it’s not uncommon for adults to put their own well-being on the backburner when it comes to keeping up with the rat race. However, it doesn’t have to be an either-or decision. Enjoying healthy careers and families can be achieved all while you’re building and sustaining a healthy lifestyle for yourself.

How?

Ultimately it boils down to getting enough exercise and nutrition based on a few factors, typically they include things like age, gender, and weight. However, supplements have made it even easier than ever for us to help our bodies bridge the gap of nutrients that are missing in our daily food choices. 

You might ask “How do I know which supplements I should take?” 

While we can’t offer specific or individual advice on dosages, we can tell you about some general nutrient best practices that every man needs to support overall health and wellbeing. 

There are a number of nutrients and vitamins that are crucial for Men’s Health, and it’s important to make sure you’re getting enough of them. 

Here are a few key nutrients and vitamins essential for Men’s Health:

Vitamin D

Vitamin D has many benefits for the human body, for both men and women. It is required for healthy bones, muscles, and general health. Most people get Vitamin D from sunshine, but if you don’t spend a lot of time outside, supplements are an option.*

A review in the National Library of Medicine supports the importance of vitamin D in the development and strength of our bones as well as our muscles to help maintain muscular and skeletal strength as we age. *†

One study that included over 100,000 participants tells us that eating 10% more ultra-processed foods was associated with above a 10% increase in the risks of cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, and cerebrovascular disorders.*†

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 is important for energy levels, brain function, and red blood cell production. It can be found in animal products such as meat, fish, and dairy. If you don’t eat these foods regularly, supplements are recommended.* 

Don’t shy away from firing up that beloved barbeque grill and flame-broiling some delicious steaks for yourself and the family. If you’re not a big meat fan, shiitake mushrooms can make a great alternative while still providing vitamin B12.*†

Omega-three Fatty Acids

Omega-three fatty acids are beneficial for heart health, joint pain, and inflammation. You can find them in fish, nuts, and seeds.*  

A study in the Journal of American Heart Association that included more than 120,000 adults in 13 randomized trials worldwide showed an 8% reduced risk for heart attack and coronary heart disease (CHD) death.*†

Take some time to relax with a good book and a cup of chamomile tea while munching on some walnuts or almonds.*

Zinc

Zinc is important to help maintain a strong immune response, fertility, and cell growth. It can be found in oysters, beef, chicken, beans, and nuts.

According to an article from Healthline, Zinc also enables the male body to produce testosterone. Because of this, having lower levels of zinc may affect erectile dysfunction.*†

Of course, these are just a few of the important vitamins and nutrients our bodies need to thrive and embrace longevity. For a full list of our Men’s Health formulas, visit Store.EmeraldLabs.com/collections/men-s-supplements

Men: Make the Rest of 2022 Your Healthiest Year Ever

The past few years have been tough on everyone, and for most of us our health has been challenging at times. With so much stress and uncertainty, it’s more important than ever to take care of yourself and make sure you’re as healthy as possible.

This is often easier said than done. With work, family, and social obligations, it can be tough to find time to focus on health. But if you want to make the rest of 2022 your healthiest year yet, it’s important to find ways to fit self-care into your busy schedule.

Here are a few common (but super important) tips to help you get started:

Eat A Healthy Diet

This is one of the best things you can do for your overall health. Focus on eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein. And, limit unhealthy foods such as processed meats, sugary drinks, and refined carbs.

One study that included over 100,000 participants tells us that eating 10% more ultra-processed foods was associated with above a 10% increase in the risks of cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, and cerebrovascular disorders.*†

Get Enough Sleep

Most adults need 7-9 hours of sleep each night. But with work, family, and social obligations, it can be tough to get enough shut-eye. If you’re having trouble sleeping, there are a few things you can do to help:*†

  • Create a sleep schedule and stick to it as much as possible. Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day, even on weekends.
  • Establish a bedtime routine to help you wind down before sleep. This might include reading, taking a bath, or even stretching.
  • Keep your bedroom dark, quiet, and cool.
  • Supplements: Our Sleep Health contains clinically proven ingredients shown to help support falling asleep and staying asleep plus promoting nighttime calmness and relaxation*

Increase Your Physical Activity

Proper exercise is super important for overall health. It can help improve your mood, boost your energy levels, and protect against chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes.

At a minimum, you should aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise at least 2-3 days a week. (Disclaimer: You should always consult your doctor before beginning any  new exercise routine.)*

Manage Your Stress Levels

Stress can take a serious toll on your health if it’s not managed properly. To help reduce stress, make time for relaxation and hobbies you enjoy, get regular exercise, and stick to a healthy diet.*

 

Take Care of Your Vision

Many men overlook the importance of eye health. But it’s crucial to have regular eye exams, especially as you age. Schedule regular checkups. Even if you feel healthy, it’s important to see your doctor for routine checkups.

Proper nutrition is critical to maintaining healthy eyes. Our Vision Health is a comprehensive formula with clinically-proven ingredients shown to help support overall vision health plus help improve Night Vision, promote the Macula and Lenses and help with Eye Strain & Reduce Glare.*

Take Care of Your Bladder

Men are at a higher risk for bladder problems such as urinary incontinence and prostate issues.*† 
    
Our Bladder Health formula contains Urox® – a proprietary blend of clinically-proven herbal plant ingredients combined with pumpkin seed extract and PACran®, which may help to support muscle tone and ease the discomfort associated with overactive frequency and urgency in both men and women.*

Keep Your Memory Sharp!

As you age, it’s normal to start forgetting things from time to time. But there are things you can do to help keep your memory sharp. Exercise regularly, eat a healthy diet and challenge your brain with activities like puzzles and crosswords.

Certain vitamins and minerals have been clinically proven to help support memory and would make a fantastic addition to the recommended lifestyle habits above. Our Memory Health contains multi-targeted ingredients to help support brain health, concentration, mental clarity & mood.*

Make 2022 the year you take control of your health! With some effort, you can make positive changes that may help to improve your health and wellbeing for years to come.

It’s Men’s Health Month! Here’s Some Top Picks.

June is National Men’s Health Month, and what better way to celebrate than by sharing some of our top picks for supplements to support men’s health?

These supplements can help with everything from prostate health to energy levels and more. To find out what we recommend, continue reading! 

Energy Levels

For men who want to boost their energy levels, we recommend using a full B-complex. B vitamins are essential for energy production, which help the body convert the food you eat into glucose.*† 

The National Institutes of Health Office of Dietary Supplements tells us “Some dietary supplements can help you get adequate amounts of essential nutrients if you don’t eat a nutritious variety of foods.”*† 

Our B-Healthy formula has therapeutic amounts of Coenzymated Methyl Folate and the activated forms of B Vitamins to help with Energy and Stress-Related Fatigue.*

Heart Health

Tocotrienols are a form of vitamin E and may help slow the buildup of plaque in the arteries and decrease cholesterol levels. The National Library of Medicine recommends vegetable oils as the best sources of these vitamin E forms, particularly palm oil and rice bran oil containing higher amounts of tocotrienols.*† 

Emerald’s Heart Health contains 99% Delta Tocotrienols, the most active form of the tocotrienols which have been shown to benefit overall heart health.*

Male Hormone Balance

Another important aspect of men’s health is hormone balance. For men who are experiencing low testosterone levels, we recommend taking our Testosterone Health.

Testosterone Health contains a ​​ targeted blend of scientifically validated herbal extracts and an amino acid. This powerful combination helps support the body’s own production of testosterone and overall circulatory health.*†

This may help to increase energy levels, libido, and muscle mass. If you’re experiencing hair loss, you might also want to try a supplement that contains saw palmetto (like our Prostate Health) or green tea extract, both of which may help to reduce DHT levels.*†

Learn more about Emerald Labs Testosterone Health.

Prostate Health

One supplement we recommend for prostate health is saw palmetto.

Saw palmetto is a natural herb that has been shown to be effective in managing symptoms of an enlarged prostate. Research suggests saw palmetto may also help with urinary problems related to the prostate.*†

Learn more about our Prostate Health formula.

These are just a few of our favorite supplements to help maintain an overall healthy lifestyle. Be sure to talk to your doctor first if you currently take medications before taking any new supplements.*
