Men’s Health Questions

What does it mean to be a healthy man in today’s world? Is it a washboard stomach? What about bulging biceps? Maybe running a marathon (or at least finishing it)? Keeping up with the young guys on the basketball court?

Whatever your definition is of a “healthy” man (or woman), the bigger question is how can that healthy man state be maintained as we age or how do we regain it if it’s lost?

Male Health Issues

You may be remembering a time, not so long ago (so it seems), when you didn’t have to worry about men’s health – you had it all. You may remember a great body, endless energy, accelerated metabolism, great sex life, time for sports and hobbies, extra money and high aspirations about the future. As time passed, the reality of the "real world" smacked you in the face and now you deal with long work days, bills, husband duties, father duties, and mandatory social functions. The washboard abs has morphed into a beer belly and your endless energy is now made possible by your morning coffee and afternoon energy drink. Instead of getting in a workout, you end your day crashing on the couch watching sports instead of playing them. In your mind, you may still feel you are the "healthy man" of your youth, until your doctor informs you that you have high blood pressure and cholesterol and prescribes a pill that includes side effects like impotence, insomnia or stroke. Fun. You look to your doctor for advice on what else to do and get an answer like, “Try to lose some weight and lower your stress.”

Healthy Man

News flash “healthy man”, you are not eighteen years old anymore. The days of burgers and pizza as your major food groups are long gone. Beer and soda do not count as methods of hydration. It is strongly suggested that you stretch before and after a game of hoops or suffer the painful consequences. It’s so sad, but so true. For some men, this reality is just not going to cut it. You want your body back. You long for the energy you felt in your twenties. You refuse to accept that you have to take a “blood pressure” pill that kills your sex drive and causes insomnia. Is there a worse prison than not being able to sleep OR have sex? If this is what you are thinking, we suggest you read on.

Men’s Health Supplements

We’ll give you the bad news first.

Remember the doctor’s advice to lose weight? Unfortunately, the weight loss industry THRIVES on men who want to get healthy and regain their youthful bodies.

This multi-billion dollar industry will provide remedies guaranteeing quick weight loss through methods such as:

• Weight loss supplements
• Muscle enhancement and fat burning supplements
• Weight loss foods
• Celebrity driven weight loss programs (Nutrisystem®, SouthBeach®, Weight Watchers®, etc.)
• Lapband or gastric bypass surgery
• HCG
• Atkins diet
• Extreme workout programs

Health Information

With all these choices, what is the BEST solution for quick weight loss, sustained results (why lose it if you are just going to “find” it again), and maintaining health so you can avoid high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, prostate cancer, etc.?

The answer is NONE of the above. The statistics are clear, 2/3 of people who go on a diet, fail within 1 year. Ninety-eight percent of people who go on a diet will gain all the weight back (and more) within 2 years. The stats are AGAINST you if you choose the unrealistic methods the diet industry provides. So how are they in business? Because they RELY on you failing!

Men’s Health and Fitness

The weight loss industry thrives on return customers. You may experience weight loss, but you will eventually "find" the weight because diets are unrealistic, unsustainable and dangerous as a lifestyle.

It is very common to live a life caught in the vicious cycle yo-yo dieting and eventually end up not even trying or caring anymore. At this point, you may not be feeling the best about your quest to become a healthy man, but there is one solution that has not yet been explored. What if there was a way to not only "lose" weight, but a way to "release" it forever and it had nothing to do with counting calories, dieting, getting on the scale, excessively exercising or giving up beer? Would you listen? That’s exactly what The Healthy Edge lifestyle has done for men all over the world who are ready to hear the truth about getting healthy. The Healthy Edge believes that the current state of your health directly correlates to your weight and how you feel. Being unhealthy, many times, means that you are overweight along with a myriad of symptoms and/or diseases. If you were blessed with an amazing metabolism and don’t carry extra weight (lucky you), being unhealthy may include feeling tired, not sleeping well, experiencing depression, having heartburn or dealing with headaches. Are you following?

Men’s Healthy Lifestyle

The Healthy Edge Men’s Health lifestyle takes the approach that your health is a journey, not a destination. There are no short-cuts. Health is the one thing that no amount of money can buy (or Chris Farley would still be alive) and no one else can do for you. It is solely your responsibility to make daily choices that enhance your health and not choices that break it down. The problem is that we are bombarded daily with conflicting opinions on what it means to be healthy. Most of these opinions of quick diet fixes are totally unhealthy. Multi-Grain Cheerios® is not exactly our idea of adding more whole grains into your diet (as suggested on the Biggest Loser™) or switching from regular Coke® to Diet Coke® (as diabetics are taught). No wonder we have a generation of overweight children and an adult population where over 60% are overweight! Can you see how easy it is to get frustrated if the information you are receiving and utilizing WILL NEVER produce the results you want?

So here’s the deal. You need to learn:

• When and what to REALLY eat (and make it taste good).
• How to fuel your body so it releases your belly fat and revs up your metabolism.
• How to deal with preparing for your workday and know what’s in the stuff you’re ordering when you eat out.
• How to read food labels so you stop buying food that is advertised as “healthy” but is actually contributing to your weight and declining health (and your family’s health).
• The TRUTH about what it means to live a healthy lifestyle, and be the man that leads your family in that direction as well.

The Healthy Edge

That’s what The Healthy Edge lifestyle program does. It’s our passion and we live what we teach. We have shared this information with others, just like you, who are ready to find that healthy man again. If you are ready to release weight and keep it off forever, take The Healthy Edge journey.
