7 best foods all men should eat

What men eat affects their day to day activities, hence, the need for a healthy living.

Foods for men

Similarly, the health risks for men and women vary considerably and it is essential to take this fact into consideration while deciding the best diet that you should follow.

The major difference between the male body and the female body is that the muscle mass in the male body is higher than that in females. Thus, foods rich in proteins are a must for men.

The calorie count also needs to be higher for them depending on their level of physical activity.

Since they need more protein, they would require certain additional vitamins and minerals to digest it. Below are 7 foods men should include in their daily diet in order to get stronger and healthier:

  • Watermelon

Watermelons contain potassium and thus, they help in boosting your energy levels. It is also rich in lycopene (the pigment that gives it colour) which is known to reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

  • Cabbage

Loaded with the essential vitamin k and free of cholesterol, make sure to add some cabbage to your dinner salad.
