Let’s get real for a minute: When it comes to health, women are generally way more knowledgeable than men.
Women make 80% of the health decisions in the family. They buy 70% of health, diet and self-improvement books. They’re much more likely to schedule doctor’s appointments and to be sure that everyone in their family is getting the kind of health care they need.
Men, it’s time to step up.
Ever since I wrote my blog post on being 70, I’ve heard from a lot of men “of a certain age”. Apparently, many of these men were inspired by my blog post. These guys aren’t willing to just go gently into the night, say goodbye to passion and romance, slow down and whither away. They don’t want to look and feel like old men when they hit 60. These guys want to know what it takes to be happy, active, passionate, involved and engaged as they round 50, 60, 70 and beyond.
Some of these guys are only in their 40’s but want to be proactive—they want to do everything they can so that they feel as good in 30 or 40 years as they do right now. Others are in their 60s and 70s and want to do a course correction before it’s too late.
I actually think you guys are an underserved population. So let’s start with something very simple: Three supplements every man needs, especially if you’re over 50.
First, let’s be clear. Despite the fact that there are about seven gazillion over-the-counter “cold remedies” that promise symptom elimination, the truth is that nothing’s going to cure or prevent colds.
