Men’s
Health: Fitness and Stamina Through the Years
 Welcome
to VÄXA’s Men’s Health Section! You will find a
wealth of information to help you maintain or recapture the fitness,
stamina, and peace of
mind about your health, especially mature men’s health issues.
As we age, not
only do we visibly change, our internal systems also change. As
a result, our bodies demand specific care and nutrition according
to our life stage, and we want to do this without the unwanted side
effects of prescription drugs.
You Can Prevent Heart Disease,
Prostatitis & BPH
Heart
disease is the leading cause of death for men in the United
States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The average age for a man’s first heart attack is 66 years
old, and up to 89 percent of sudden cardiac events occur in men.
These grim statistics demonstrate why protecting the heart is such
an important issue in men’s health.
Another familiar
topic in men’s health is the prostate gland. Prostatitis
is a painful condition in men caused by the inflammation or infection
of the prostate gland. Prostatitis can be chronic and it is the
most common prostate problem for men under 50. For men over 50 years
old, BPH (or enlarged prostate), is the most common prostate problem.
Men who suffer from enlarged prostate say the urination difficulties
caused by BPH are overwhelming.
