7 foods men should eat for a longer, healthier life - Today
A dietitian discusses the foods that are most likely to support men’s health — and the ones they should avoid.
Eating a diet that's mainly focused on meat and potatoes isn’t the best way for men to stay healthy and strong, even though both foods can be part of a healthy diet. Many men have a tendency to zero in on protein foods and pay less attention to other options like veggies and fiber-rich foods. But to fuel good health, men need more than protein; they need a minimum of 2 1/2 cups of veggies, 2 cups of fruit, and 30 to 38 grams of fiber per day — nutrition targets that few men achieve.
