Do you want to age stronger, healthier and with more energy? Research shows that ageing is not just something we have to accept - it can be influenced. With proper exercise, recovery and a nutritious diet, men can maintain strength, potency and vitality well into old age. We spoke to researcher Daniel Arvidsson at the University of Gothenburg, who explains how physical activity and the right nutrients can slow down the body's natural breakdown and renew you from the inside out.
Daniel researches health, nutrition and performance with the aim of developing better and more comprehensive measures of individuals' physical activity patterns, in order to develop new, more individualized recommendations for physical activity.
Physical activity stimulates building
As men age, many functions of the body deteriorate, such as muscle strength, potency, joint health, energy levels, cardiovascular health and other general functions. How can exercise affect men's ageing?
- "Research shows that physical activity has a restorative effect," says Daniel Arvidsson. "Being active as you age stimulates the body to rebuild and renew itself. During physical activity, the body is broken down for the moment through microfractures in the muscles and small cracks in the bones. This leads to a stimulus to rebuild and rebuild to be able to withstand similar activity next time.
Counteracts risks of injury
The signals for new building and rebuilding of muscles can take place even for older men through successive training and sufficient recovery.
- Muscles have a special structure where several muscle cells are joined together to form muscle fibers. Around it are different types of connective tissue and tendons that connect the whole muscle to the skeleton. Muscle cells can be built up with the right stimulus, provided that you do not overtrain. The consequence is the rebuilding and strengthening of tissue, which prevents the risk of injury in the future.
The balance between exercise and nutrition
When we talk about aging and the freshness of cells and structures in the body, it can be influenced by a combination of diet and exercise.
- "If you have an exercise balance that first breaks down tissue and gives a signal to the body to rebuild itself at rest, the body also needs a broad combination of nutrients," says Daniel.
Nutrients are used for structural building of the body but also for building enzymes and DNA. All these components together should form a functional cell or organ system. If this gradually declines with age, damage will occur. This is a natural biological development, but we can influence it with proper exercise, recovery and diet.
Building structures in the body
If you are physically active but eat poorly, the basis for building and renewing cells is missing. All regulation of cell building and protection of DNA molecules relies on all cells functioning optimally.
- To build structures in the body, several nutrients are required for the functioning of enzymes responsible for construction.
The body's functions require a wide range of nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates and fats. As we age, we need to keep our cells in good condition to continue to function well.
- To minimize the ageing process, the body needs to cleanse and rebuild to strengthen and maintain functions for longer. This requires a broad combination of nutrients to be available," says Daniel Arvidsson.
Therefore, you should eat a varied and nutrient-dense diet with elements of fruit and vegetables.
Nutrient supplements for men's health
The ManClear dietary supplement contains a wide range of nutrients for men, developed by internationally recognized scientists.
Vitamins, amino acids, proteins and other nutrients that slow down the aging process. Studies have shown that the ingredients in ManClear can significantly increase your own natural secretion of testosterone and growth hormone (GH). This without interfering with your own production like synthetic hormones. These hormones play a crucial role in a number of functions in the body such as, libido, muscle strength, joint health, energy levels, cardiovascular health and other general functions associated with men's health.
Each ingredient in ManClear is scientifically proven to provide specific health benefits, making this an unrivaled solution for men.
