Natural Ways to Combat Male Menopause
Natural Ways to Combat Male Menopause Today it is common to encounter those who wish to
treat ailments and conditions using more natural methods. You should always seek the advise of a healthcare
professional when you are faced with any physical, emotional or mental ailment or condition. You can choose a
healthcare professional that you trust to understand your wish to consider natural remedies versus man-made and
processed medications. There are many alternative treatments that have been shown to be effective for treating the
symptoms of male menopause. Natural treatments can be in the form of exercise, diet, supplements, therapy, herbs
and lifestyle changes. Men should be cautioned to be very careful using hormones to treat male menopause. Hormone
therapy can have risks associated with the use of hormones especially if given in the wrong dose or for too long of
a period of time. Exercise Just doing some kind of 30 minutes exercise 3 times a week will be enough to make a
difference and can trim that extra off from around your waist. The exercise can be as simple as walking the dog, or
doing a nature hike with the kids. Anything that gets you up and moving your arms and legs for at least 30 minutes
will be beneficial. Dietary Fruits and vegetables and plenty of water are all healthy dietary ways to alleviate
symptoms of male menopause. Adding soy products to your diet will also helps to process and eliminate the excess
estrogen in a male body. One cup of soymilk daily will be enough to help. If soymilk or soy products are not
something you are interested in, you can also take 30 - 50 mgs. of isoflavones supplement each day. Avoid eating
grapefruit as they can prevent the liver from naturally decreasing the excess estrogen levels in the male body.
Supplements It is a good idea for males to take 50 mg. of zinc because it helps rid the body of enzymes that are
responsible for converting testosterone into estrogen. Estrogen contributes to the weight gain around your mid
section. Vitamin C can help prevent male testosterone levels from being reduced and also decreases the level of
free radicals in your system, which may help protect the pituitary gland. Take 1,000 to 3,000 mg. of vitamin C
daily. Please consult with your healthcare provider before making any dietary or supplement changes. Therapy We all
need someone to talk to at times. This can be a professional, a community group for men at your YMCA or your local
church. It can be specifically about male menopause or just a group that discusses issues that face men today at
home or in the workplace. It can even be a friendly group of buddies sharing a game of poker or going hunting over
a weekend; just an opportunity to be with someone who understands the pressures men face and a safe time for you to
open up about your thoughts and feelings. Herbs Ginseng is probably the best herbal remedy for male health because
it can help relieve stress, and enhance male sexual performance at the same time. You can locate Ginseng in most
chain grocery stores in the health section. You can also find it in health food stores or purchase fresh ginseng
root or ginseng root tea in many open markets. There are no side effects associated with use of ginseng and it is
safe to use on a regular basis. One combination of herbs found online that is stated to help male menopause is:
Equal part combination of: black cohosh, damiana, oat, raspberry leaf, saw palmetto and wild yam. Males need to
take this equal part combination in either tincture form, capsule or as a tea twice a day for 4 days out of every
week for 3 months. This combo of herbs helps to relieve irritability and moodiness. Other herbs that have been
shown to help relieve symptoms of male menopause are royal jelly and bee pollen. Taking herbal remedies along with
daily exercise and following some kind of stress reducing program like deep breathing, stretching or meditation
should be most helpful. Remember that extended use of herbs is not recommended; two to three month usage is usually
all that is required in order to see benefits. A homeopath or other healthcare professional can advise you on
herbal treatments for male menopause. Lifestyle It is important for anyone who is stressed out or facing changes in
life; to take a good look at what is positive in their life and what is good. Chances are that those things are
what make you happy. Understanding how our bodies age and how the process effects us physically, emotionally and
mentally can help us to cope with menopause or any condition. Evaluating our daily routines and reducing or
eliminating the negative aspects without throwing out what is good can help us to cope. Rely on the people in your
life who love you and who are a part of your daily routine. Letting them know that something is bothering you may
go along way to helping them understand how best to help you. Exercise, diet and stress relief are all lifestyle
activities that when modified or added to our daily routines can make a real difference in the quality of our life.
