Men’s nourishment and maintenance should focus on the key points

　　vast majority male In terms of nutrition, we often only pay attention to reducing fat, cholesterol and increasing protein, but ignore the reasonable intake of other nutrients. Modern scientific research believes that male nutrition requires attention to the following points:
　　
　　A. The focus is zinc.
　　
　　The trace element zinc is an active component of systemic enzymes, which helps regulate the immune system and is an extremely important factor for proper growth. But men tend to ignore zinc. According to surveys, less than 1/3 of men meet zinc standards. Zinc can be obtained from seafood, lean meat, whole grains and legumes.
　　
　　B. You can relax on iron.
　　
　　Less than 1% of men are iron deficient; most men do not need to worry about the iron content in food; men are less able to withstand iron overload; iron supplementation in men may mask iron deficiency signals caused by internal bleeding.
　　
　　C. Treat protein correctly.
　　
　　Many men want to develop muscles and eat more protein foods. In fact, most men do not need additional protein supplements. Moderate amounts of meat, poultry, fish or legumes, plus low-fat dairy products will be very beneficial.
　　
　　D. Increase antioxidant intake.
　　
　　Antioxidants, especially vitamin E, can prevent free radicals from damaging blood vessel walls and thus prevent cholesterol clogging, thus helping to fight heart disease and stroke. Whole grain nuts and vegetable oils almost all contain vitamin E. In order to obtain more than the daily ration, supplementation is necessary. You can also get other antioxidant benefits by eating fruits and vegetables.
　　
　　E. Add vitamin B6 and folic acid.
　　
　　These two hard-to-get B vitamins help break down homocysteine. Too much of this amino acid is a risk factor for heart disease. Vitamin B6 is found in chicken, fish, whole grains and legumes; folic acid is found in large amounts in green leafy vegetables, orange juice, legumes and fortified cereals.
