Supplements for Men’s Sexual Health and Libido

1) Maca for enhancing libido 
Maca roots are often used for enhancing libido, but it is also used to help with energy, stamina, athletic performance, memory, and for an antioxidant-fueled immune system boost.

2) Ashwagandha for Sexual Health and Adaptogen for Stress
Ashwagandha is an “adaptogenic herb” that helps our bodies with daily stressors and it is used as a health tonic for many benefits including sexual health. Since our stress levels play a big role in libido and can disrupt hormone levels, Ashwagandha’s ability to help calm the mind and reduce stress and anxiousness can be a great help for our sexual performance.

3) Yohimbe for Sexual Blood Flow 
Herbalists use Yohimbe, an evergreen tree native to Africa, for stimulating sexual excitement because a chemical in the plant may increase blood flow and nerve impulses, encouraging arousal.

4) Fenugreek for Testosterone Support 
Fenugreek supplements are made from the seeds of the fenugreek herb, which is similar to clover and native to the Mediterranean region. 

For men, fenugreek may help with a variety of sexual concerns including testosterone support and reproductive health.

5) Boron for Sexual Health & Beyond
Boron is a trace mineral that plays important roles in metabolism and researchers say that one of its most notable effects on human health include its role in the production and metabolism of sex hormones, including testosterone. It beneficially impacts how our body uses testosterone and vitamin D, and it also plays a role in the absorption and use of calcium and magnesium. Studies have shown an increase in sex hormones in both men and women following boron supplementation. 

Foods high in boron include:

• Almond
• Beans
• Chickpeas
• Brazil nuts
• Bananas

Burn-out as an "occupational phenomenon"

The World Health Organization (WHO) has for the first time recognised "burn-out" in its International Classification of Diseases (ICD), which is widely used as a benchmark for diagnosis and health insurers.

WHO defines burn-out as "a syndrome conceptualised as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed."

"Burn-out refers specifically to phenomena in the occupational context and should not be applied to describe experiences in other areas of life," according to the classification.

The syndrome was characterised by:

1. Feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion; 
2. Increased mental distance from one's job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one's job; and 
3. Reduced professional efficacy.

"This is the first time burnout has been included in the classification," WHO spokesman Tarik Jasarevic said.

Excessive Instant Noodle consumption could cause Cancer and Stroke

Studies show that eating instant noodles is connected to high blood pressure, stroke and heart attack.

When you take a look at the nutritional profile of the instant noodles, you can find that instant noodles are high in sodium, calories, fat and are intensely prepared. In addition, they lack many important nutrients, including protein, fiber, vitamin A, C, B12, calcium, magnesium and potassium.

A standout among the most hurtful fixings is tertiary-butyl hydroquinone (TBHQ), a synthetic additive and TBHQ could cause malignancy. 

TBHQ is most generally added to foods so as to expand their shelf life. TBHQ is commonly utilized on fatty and oily foods. Actually, TBHQ is very toxic in larger dosages.  And so the FDA has endorsed little portions for utilization. High portions of TBHQ are thought to potentially be carcinogenic. Some claim that TBHQ may even anticipate cancer. Studies propose that devouring 1 gram of TBHQ is all around liable to cause an undesirable response. 5g of TBHQ is sufficient to result in a deadly outcome. 

Instant noodles present more harmful and toxic health risks than TBHQ with cancer risk. Since instant noodles contain a fixing called monosodium glutamate, also called MSG. And a lot of MSG have been directly connected to neurotoxic effect, metabolic disorders, obesity and other detrimental effects on our body’s reproductive organs.

Further, expending instant noodles could cause a stroke or heart assault. Thus instant noodles have been connected to cardiometabolic dangers - heart disease and type-2 diabetes , the two of which are dangers to any individual who regularly eats instant noodles. 

In conclusion, heart disease, metabolic syndrome, diabetes and stroke are risks for any individual who consumes more than 2 portions of instant noodles on weekly basis even though they are convenient and inexpensive.

Maca

Maca comes from the Andes Mountains of Peru and is sometimes referred to as Peruvian ginseng. As a vegetable that is related to broccoli and cauliflower, maca is celebrated for its edible root, which is packed with antioxidants and important vitamins and minerals including vitamin B-6, vitamin C, copper, potassium, manganese and iron.

Its popularity is due, in part, to its sexual health and libido boosting abilities, which have been backed by research. However, its benefits do not end here: maca root is also an excellent adaptogenic herb, due to its ability to promote stress reduction, energy, mood health. It may even boost endurance and athletic performance.

Ashwagandha supports Memory and Cognitive Function

Research suggests that ashwagandha, an herb used in the Ayuvredic health tradition, may help support memory and improve cognition.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted with 50 participants who either took 300 mg  of ashwagandha root extract twice daily or a placebo for 8 weeks. Study results suggest the herb may support healthy memory, executive function, attention and information processing.

Protein Benefits Physical Performance in Older Adults

A systematic review of observational studies indicated an association between higher protein intakes and better lower limb performance in older adults.

This research, published in Nutrients, was based on study selections by two independent researchers and revealed that both high and very high protein intakes among older adults were associated with better lower limb physical function and walking speed performance compared to those with low protein intakes. Older adults with lower total protein and lower vegetable protein intakes were at a higher risk for low muscle mass.

One in five deaths worldwide linked to unhealthy diet

The Global Burden of Disease study tracked trends from 1990 to 2017 of consumption of 15 dietary factors. Chris Murray, director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington said poor diet is responsible for more deaths than any other risk factor in the world.

Consumption of healthier foods such as nuts and seeds, milk and whole grains was on average too low while people consumed too many sugary drinks and too much processed meat and salt. This led to one in five deaths in 2017 being linked to bad diets.

In a breakdown of diet-related deaths, the study found that of the 11 million in 2017, almost 10 million were from cardiovascular diseases, around 913,000 from cancer and almost 339,000 from type 2 diabetes.

The study found people ate only 12 percent of the recommended amount of nuts and seeds - an average intake of 3 grams a day, compared with the recommended 21 g - and drank more than 10 times the recommended amount of sugary drinks. Diets high in sugar, salt and bad fats are known risk factors for heart disease, stroke, diabetes and many types of cancer.

The global diet also included less than a quarter of the recommended amount of whole grains - at 29 g average intake a day compared with the recommended 125 g - and almost double the recommended amount of processed meat - at around 4 g average intake per day compared with the 2 g recommended.

In fact, an “ideal diet” for the health of people and the planet would include a doubling of consumption of nuts, fruits, vegetables and legumes and a halving of meat and sugar intake.
