Men’s Health and Fertility and Diet

Dr. Google, men’s health and the health of their fertility is on my mind. thank you for asking. I just read a blurb about the idea, perhaps observation, of faster aging happening now. More research needs to be done for me to be comfortable with that concept. However, something is going on that in health and wellness have been talking about, without any consensus. So, let’s get into a healthy diet. The most researched one, and very successful one, is the Mediterranean Diet. The classic one, not the I will do it my way version. The real one includes social eating, i.e., with extended family and/or other company, and a non sedentary lifestyle. The proverbial three legged stool–good food, good company, physical activity. Good food is a vague description. OldwaysPT.org is a great resource to utilize. I have a bibliography I can share about Med. Diet resources as well. Ask me. When you have optimal nutrition on board your brain, heart, hormones, organs and tissues work much better, and in ways they are supposed to. Guess what else works, Duh! Plus, the old axiom of “use it or lose it” is a law of Nature too. As we said the male contributes 50% of the genetic messages to the new person involved. Why compromise that any further than the genetic material you were given, the toxic load we all have been exposed to in our modern environment, food supply, workplaces, homes, etc. Believe it or not, our homes are possibly the most toxic part of our existence. We do know about key nutrients and life style choices that have effect on the male contribution that should be taken advantage of daily. In sports medicine/nutrition we talk about the exquisite balance of nutrients an athlete needs to max performance, and that includes 80 nutrients. That’s almost the whole Periodic Table of the Elements. Food for thought. Two goals to go: Eat 30 different fruits and vegetables during the week, and forever; and call or message me so we can answer your questions and your needs. I am a chef, paramedic, long term clinical dietitian, fertility dietitian, and have some ideas…
