Some Health Tips for Dad This Father’s Day By Lauren Kowlacki 1. Men Need Zinc This micro mineral is needed daily to help prevent erec- tile dysfunction and male infertility, as well as to maintain a healthy prostate. The safe dosage for taking supplements is 40 mg or less; taking too much can cause toxicity in the body and throw off copper levels, so consult a healthcare practitioner if you want to start taking this supplement. 2. Men Need to Watch Their Iron High iron can result from eating too much liver, pork and beef or fortified cereals. Be sure to take multi-vita- mins specifically for men as they will have lower amounts of iron or none. High amounts of iron are associated with higher risk of heart disease, liver disease, and cancer among other health issues. It is important for men to test their iron levels in the body through the following two blood tests called "serum ferritin" and "transferrin satu- ration." Both tests are necessary to determine an accurate reading. 3. Eat Saw Palmetto This plant has been shown in studies to effectively sup- port the prostate. It is one of the most commonly con- sumed supplements by men with prostate cancer and be- nign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It also stops hair-loss in men.
