3 Foods Essential for Men's Health

1. Sardine for heart health
Heart attack, cardiac arrest and any other heart disease is #1 killer for men. For good and healthy heart, eat sardine.

Like any other fishes, sardines are one of the best sources for heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. They are extremely low in contaminants such as mercury. Choose no-salt-added brands canned sardine.

Sardines are great on salads or layered on top of whole-grain crackers.

2. Brazil nuts for prostate health
Brazil nuts are rich in selenium, a mineral that may reduce a man's risk of developing prostate cancer. One or two mixed with other nuts each day will give you just the right amount.

3. Sesame seeds for sex drive
Want to boost your libido? Try sesame seeds. They're very rich in the amino acid arginine, which is involved in synthesizing nitric oxide, a compound that enhances blood flow through the arteries and other male body parts.

Toasted sesame seeds add a nice nutty taste to salads, cooked grains or cereal.
