Men's health can be hard to talk about. But as men age, prostate health, bladder health and sexual health are all vitally important. Your prostate can change at the physical and even cellular level. When this happens, it can affect everything from urination patterns to sexual function.

1. Protecting prostate health

   Your prostate is a male reproductive gland. What's good for your prostate is good for the rest of you: reduce or eliminate red meat, salt and alcohol. Eat brightly-colored fruits and vegetables (the redder the better). Why? They're packed with carotenoids, like lycopene. Extracts of saw palmetto and stinging nettle root are good for your prostate as well.

2. Bathroom break: promoting a healthy bladder

   When you gotta go, you gotta go! Your bladder may be near your prostate, but it has a much different job—which is to store and then eliminate liquid waste. As such, your bladder is sensitive to your diet, so eat (and drink) as clean as possible. It might seem counter-intuitive, but consuming plenty of water is key to bladder health. And pumpkin seed extract has been found to be bladder-friendly, too.

3. Maintaining healthy sexual function

   For men, sexual health is related to hormone balance, overall physical health and even stress levels. But the single most important factor is healthy blood flow. To help maintain healthy circulation to the male organs, try extracts like Kaempferia parviflora, maca, muira puama and ginseng. In addition, L-arginine promotes nitric oxide production in your arteries—which is another great way to promote healthy blood flow.
