Men’s Day: 4 supplements that are really worth it

These are the adjustments necessary for everyday well-being

This Tuesday (19th) we celebrate International Men’s Day. This date also serves to meet nutritional needs and therefore the four truths about supplementation with the help of nutritionist and member of the Herbalife Nutrition Affairs Council Nataniel Viuniski.

The quartet of truths on International Men’s Day

1. Men need to consume more protein than women

Because they have more muscle mass than women, they need to consume a greater amount of protein to maintain and recover their muscles, especially if they train intensely. High-quality proteins, such as those from lean meats, eggs and dairy products, are ideal. Shakes and other protein supplements ensure an adequate intake of this nutrient.

2. Omega-3

The Global Heart Study found that men generally develop cardiovascular disease at a younger age and have a greater risk of coronary heart disease than women. In this sense, omega-3 intake is important to support heart health. It is also recommended to include foods that are sources of nutrients, examples: salmon, sardines and chia.

3. Magnesium is important

It is worth carrying out clinical and laboratory assessments to investigate nutrient levels, including magnesium, so that your dietitian or nutritionist can assess whether a supplement is needed.

4. Need for fiber

Adequate consumption of prebiotic fibers is essential, regardless of gender, as they feed the “good bacteria”. They live in the intestines and help the digestive process. It is especially worth investing in soluble fiber found in foods, such as oats and fruit. Or in supplements, which allow you to practically integrate fibers into food preparation.
