oysters
A rare guest on our plate, but in vain: oysters are rich in zinc (). And zinc is the number one mineral for men’s health because it allows the male reproductive system to function smoothly.
Medical statistics show that over the past 50 years, sperm quality has deteriorated everywhere, with a loss in sperm count: bad ecology is to blame for everything. In addition, men have decreased levels of testosterone, the main male sex hormone.
Zinc can improve the situation in both the first and second cases: studies show that taking 40 mg of zinc daily for a month and a half allows you to increase testosterone levels and return the sperm count to normal.
In addition to the high zinc content, oysters have other benefits: they are low in calories, they are high in iodine and selenium, as well as a variety of vitamins. The healthiest style of eating oysters is to leave them as they are without sprinkling them with lemon juice, as it immediately destroys vitamin E. And, of course, limit yourself to just one slice of black bread and butter.

Ketchup
Ketchup or that tomato sauce that rare pizza can do without (as well as tomato sauce in homemade pasta) is what you need for those who want to protect themselves from prostate cancer. Research shows that if you eat good natural ketchup or tomato sauce 2-4 times a week, your risk of developing prostate cancer is reduced by a third. It’s all about the substance lycopene, which is found in tomatoes.
Meanwhile, tomato juice or just a tomato does not have such a beneficial effect on this important male gland, since in order to assimilate lycopene, it is required to combine a tomato or products made from it with something fatty. Therefore, pouring ketchup over a sausage or adding tomato sauce in minced meat to pasta will be the right decision. As a last resort, you can put a piece of cheese on a circle of tomato.
Tomato and tomato sauce are an extremely dietary and healthy product: only 20 kcal per 100 g, various vitamins and minerals, only 4 g of carbohydrates and 0,3 g of fat ().

Peanut butter
Americans are apparently right about their love of peanut butter. Yes, it is fatty and high in calories, but it protects the health of the cardiovascular system. According to a US study, a peanut butter diet, containing 36% of total daily calories, lowers low-molecular-weight cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood in one month, but does not affect the level of high-molecular-weight cholesterol. Thus, peanut butter in the diet can prevent the development of cardiovascular diseases as effective as traditional “heart” diets. It is only important to know when to stop: peanut butter, whatever one may say, draws almost 600 calories.

Broccoli
The product is undoubtedly healthy, although not the most appetizing (however, it is good together with eggs and cheese, for example). Due to the high content of fiber and antioxidants, which are able to neutralize a number of toxic substances in the body, broccoli is able to prevent the development of colon cancer. In addition, a recent American study found that broccoli, like other similar kale, may protect against bladder cancer, which occurs in men 2,5 times more often than women.
This study analyzed the diet of 50 men and found that 000 servings of broccoli (or other cabbage) per week could cut the risk of bladder cancer in half. In 5 g of broccoli, there are only 100 kcal and 27 g of fat, and at the same time – 0,3 g of protein, 3 g of carbohydrates and 2,4 g of fiber. And besides, it contains vitamins A, C and E, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus.

Chocolate
Regular intake of dark chocolate with a cocoa content of over 70% will help lower bad cholesterol, improve blood circulation and normalize blood pressure. And it, in turn, guarantees not only a healthy heart, but also an excellent erection. Experts from Portugal have proven that in men who eat several pieces of dark dark chocolate every day, where erectile dysfunction is less common. Also, sweet-tooth men are much less prone to heart attacks and strokes than those of the stronger sex who consider chocolate to be a purely female delicacy. The doctors’ conclusion was simple: chocolate is healthier for men than for women. And Japanese scientists, in turn, discovered in chocolate the ability to prevent the development of peptic ulcers and even cancer. To do this, you need to eat only 50 g of dark chocolate per day.
A few pieces of dark chocolate a day will lower cholesterol, support male potency and protect against stroke and even cancer.
