12 Ways To Prevention Aging Now For Men

1) Never catch a cold or the flu.
Cold and flu viruses are transmitted through the air and by touch, so the best way to prevent a cold is to keep your distance from someone who has one, wash your hands often, and avoid touching your eyes and nose-prime entry points for offending viruses.

2) Prevent kidney stones.
Drink at least eight glasses of lemon water a day Lemons contain potassium citrate, a chemical that may stop kidney stones from forming.

3) Sidestep a hangover.
Drink lighter colored alcohols, such as gin and vodka. They are less likely to cause a hangover than darker alcoholic beverages (bourbon, scotch, brandy, whiskey, red wine) because they have fewer congeners, the by-products of fermentation and aging that give beverages their distinctive flavors and colors. And A last-call tip: Order a double virgin screwdriver. Fructose, one of the sugars in orange juice, can speed up the metabolism of alcohol by as much as 25 percent.

4) Give the E.R. a head start if you must go.
Keep important medical information in your wallet, including drug sensitivities or allergies, prescription and nonprescription drugs you're taking, the name and phone number of your primary physician, medical conditions you're being treated for, and any major medical problems experienced by your parents. And put a copy of your baseline EKG in your wallet, too.

5) Have a PSA test.
Detect prostate cancer early. The American Cancer Society and the American Urological Association recommend an annual digital rectal exam and an annual PSA (prostate-specific antigen) screening beginning at age 50. (If you are African-American or have a family history of prostate cancer, start this test at 45.)

6) Walk for 30 minutes a day.
That's all you need to do to move from couch potato to moderately fit. Don’t stop there but that change that will provide you with significant health benefits.

7) Stretch and hold the stretch for 60 seconds on first awakening.
Just like you see the dogs do it when they wake from a nap! By your 40s, your muscles are less pliable. Stretch for a full minute to reduce injury. If you're under 40 then 30 seconds is adequate.

Avoid cold sores.
If you are prone to them, limit your intake of arginine rich foods; such as beer, chocolate, cola, peas, and peanuts. The herpes simplex virus that causes cold sores needs the amino acid arginine to do it’s dirty work.

9) Dry brush your teeth.
It will cut tartar by 60 percent and reduces bleeding of the gums by 50 percent. Using a dry, soft brush, start scrubbing the insides of your bottom teeth. Then hit the insides of the top ones before working your way to the outer surfaces. Finally, rinse, spit, and brush again briefly-this time with tooth paste.

10) Never develop cancer.
Only 5 to 10 percent of cancers are inherited. The rest are due to interactions with the environment, mainly smoking. One of the most important things you can do is eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables each day. A 14-year study found that men whose diets were highest in fruits and vegetables had a 70 percent lower risk of digestive-tract cancers. Here's the easiest way to reach your quota – simply never eat a meal that doesn't contain fruit or vegetables.

11) Don't drink soda.
Aside from providing you with more than your share of empty calories, soft drinks contain high amounts of fructose, which researchers have found may weaken your bones.

12) But do drink wine and beer.
Studies reveal that drinking one or two glasses a day or a beer may lower your risk of type-2 diabetes and be good for the heart.
