10 THINGS A MAN SHOULD EAT EVERYDAY

Source

There are 10 things a man should eat every day—or nearly every day—to keep things running smoothly.

FIBER
A man should shoot to get about 25 grams of fiber in his diet every day. You can reach this goal through foods like lima beans, soybeans, grapefruit, certain berries and whole grains.

Eating whole grains offer multiple benefits to health, including achieving proper poop. But first you need to read the label. When you're buying bread, make sure it says "100 percent whole grain" or "100 percent whole wheat."
To reach your goal for fiber, eat at least three servings of whole grains a day.

FOLATE
significantly reduce your chances of getting cancer by eating foods rich in folate—you should get about 800 mg a day. If you don't take it as a supplement, you can find folate in orange juice, spinach and other leafy green vegetables.

Folate decreases arterial aging, decreases blood pressure and decreases cancer rate. On labels, look for the words "folate" or "folic"

TOMATO SAUCE
As well as being good for the heart, tomatoes decrease risk of arterial aging, heart disease, stroke, memory loss, impotence, and wrinkling of the skin, And tomato-based products contain lycopene, which has been shown to fight cancer.

But to really reap the benefits, you can't just put a few slices of tomato in your salad. The best way to get the positive effects is by eating 10 tablespoons of tomato sauce a week. "It takes 165 raw tomatoes to equal 10 tablespoons of tomato sauce.

It doesn't matter what kind of tomato sauce you have, as long as it's cooked, and you eat it with a little olive oil and a little healthy fat because it's much better absorbed with it

A HANDFUL OF NUTS
walnuts and almonds are excellent for health. And not only are walnuts and hazelnuts excellent sources of heart healthy omega-3s, but if you eat nuts before sugars (in dishes like pasta or corn on the cob), the fat in the nuts will slow your stomach and help your body most effectively process that sugar.

One thing to remember is to keep nuts refrigerated so they don't oxidize.

FISH
In recent years, there has been a lot of conflicting information about eating fish. On the one hand, fish is consistently regarded as a terrific source of low-fat protein. On the other hand, there are persistent concerns about mercury and other environmental impurities.

You just have to remember a few great fish—tilapia, salmon, flounder, cod and mahi-mahi, especially if they are wild caught. And not only is salmon a great source of protein, it has the added health bonus of being full of omega-3s, which are important for a healthy heart.

EIGHT GLASSES OF FLUID
it is important to drink eight glasses—or about 64 ounces—of fluid every day. It helps move the poop and gives you better hydration. It actually cuts down on wrinkles, too, because you hydrate your skin when you take it internally.

FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
Fruits and vegetables provide essential vitamins and minerals that will keep your body healthy. Foods rich in magnesium like beets, raisins, dates and soybeans are especially important because they'll keep your bowels moving regularly. a man should eat about five handfuls of fruits and vegetables a day.

RED WINE
Red wine has a chemical in it called rezveritrol, which is a very strong antioxidant that's also been shown to be heart-healthy.

Why red and not white? Red wine has the material from the skins of the grapes (which provides the rezveritrol). The white wine has that skin stripped away. So if you're going to drink wine and you're going to take the hit on calories, drink red wine.

COFFEE
Men will stand up and cheer for this —coffee is actually good for you in reasonable amounts.

Coffee actually has been shown to reduce liver cancer and to be effective with—or with symptoms of—Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. So there are a bunch of different places where coffee can play a role. The reason it got a bad name is because it does have side effects, for example, migraine headaches and heart palpitations. But if you're not having them, coffee is reasonable.

MILK OR VITAMIN D-FORTIFIED ORANGE JUICE
The calcium in milk is obviously good for bones—any man with a mother has heard that one. But the other important ingredient is vitamin D, which is a cancer-fighting agent. your body can actually get this vital nutrient from the sun. A glass of milk or fortified orange juice a day should do the trick.

Perfect (y)

I'm taking those seriously.

Good job you have done; some people would critisize you cos they dont find it easy doing all these..having said that, if you cant afford expensive fibre, buy garri, if you cant affort to much of vegetables..chop onions or bitter leaf, if the nuts are on the high side, slice groundnuts..what about red wine, some one sighed..just drink zobo..hope these helps?

Most of these food listed can also cause diabetes,am tired of what to eat,and not what to eat crap on Nairaland. What will kill a man,would definitely kill him. Just follow your heart when eating,not some routine created by someone who can't afford most of those thing listed above.
