DHEA for Men

DHEA, dehydroepiandrosterone, is extremely important for men 35 and up. As a hormone precursor, DHEA is metabolized by the testicles into testosterone. A little intracellular testosterone is also produced as DHEA is absorbed into the dermis. Therefore, although DHEA cream is beneficial for healthy testosterone production in men, routine testing ensures adequate levels are maintained. 

DHEA is also the only substance in the human body that counteracts the inflammatory effects of cortisol.  Medical expert and Twist 25 originator, Dr John R. Woodward, M.D. advises, “For optimal health, the DHEA to cortisol ratio should be 10:1.” 

The #1 cause of death for men is heart disease. An informative article by cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Dwight Lundell, M.D., explains that, contrary to conventional belief, cholesterol level is not the main thing that causes heart disease. Rather, it’s chronic inflammation. “Simply stated, without inflammation being present in the body, there is no way that cholesterol would accumulate in the walls of the blood vessels and cause heart disease and strokes. Without inflammation, cholesterol would move freely throughout the body as nature intended. It is inflammation that causes cholesterol to become trapped.”¹

Take note, men: regular daily exercise, eating a diet high in fresh green vegetables and using bioidentical Twist 25 DHEA cream can help reduce the risk of heart disease.

DHEA also reduces the risks of all types of cancer.  Medical research shows that maintaining good DHEA levels significantly reduces the risks of cancer, the #2 risk of death for men.²

The #3 cause of death for men is stroke. A very important risk factor for stroke is hypertension (high blood pressure). So, controlling high blood pressure is crucial to reducing risk of stroke. Turns out that maintaining a proper DHEA level, exercising regularly and eating a diet high in green cruciferous vegetables also helps reduce high blood pressure and stroke.

Applying Twist 25 DHEA cream daily enables men 35 and up to maintain healthy hormone levels, reduces risk of heart disease, cancer and stroke; and DHEA also supports strong bones, healthy cartilage and a strong immune system.

Should men use Twist 25 DHEA cream? Yes.  DHEA is always a safe, non-addictive first step for men to maintain healthy hormone levels. It is much better to maintain good health than try to regain health once it is lost. “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

Use Twist 25 DHEA cream. Make your own hormones.

June is Men’s Health Month

 

Men - fathers, sons, grandfathers, husbands - We celebrate Father’s Day on June 19th this year; but also, the entire month of June has been designated as “Men’s Health Month”. The purpose of Men’s Health Month is to increase awareness of common preventable health problems, help men avoid them by encouraging early detection testing, and learn how to maintain good health by doing things that contribute to good health. …good healthy lifestyle choices. Because, as we’ve all heard “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”. And, as we often say at Health2Go: It is all the little things we do each day that make a big difference in time.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has determined that Heart Disease is the #1 cause of death for men (and women) in not only the U.S.A. but the world. That alone is a striking fact, but men are almost twice as likely to die from heart disease as women. So Men, let’s take on the biggest health problems first – heart disease, cancer and stroke.

The top risk factors for heart disease are gender and age, which we cannot do anything to control; but we can dramatically reduce the risk of heart disease by eating a healthy diet and exercising and maintaining DHEA level.

 Interesting new research about heart disease has shown that contrary to conventional belief: cholesterol level is not as problematic as poor diet, lack of regular exercise and chronic inflammation. 

In this exceptionally interesting article, the new view is “Simply stated, without inflammation being present in the body, there is no way that cholesterol would accumulate in the wall of the blood vessels and cause heart disease and strokes. Without inflammation, cholesterol would move freely throughout the body as nature intended. It is inflammation that causes cholesterol to become trapped.”

DHEA is the only thing in the human body that counterbalances the harmful inflammatory effects of high cortisol levels.  Dr. John Woodward, MD says “For optimal health, the DHEA to cortisol ratio should be 10 to 1.

So to reduce the risk of heart disease, eat a diet high in fresh green and colorful vegetables, exercise every day, and apply Twist 25 DHEA cream daily to reduce inflammation and support cardiovascular health.

The #2 killer for men is cancer. A healthy diet and exercise and maintaining good DHEA levels has been shown to significantly reduce the risks of cancer.

The #3 cause of death for men is stroke. A very important risk factor for stroke is hypertension (high blood pressure). So it makes sense that controlling high blood pressure is crucial to reduce the risk of stroke.  Conveniently, it turns out that the behaviors we have just described above that reduce the risks of heart disease and cancer also reduce the risks of stroke.

So let's all celebrate Men’s Health Month, by helping men stay healthy, active and alive by encouraging eating a healthy diet high in a wide variety of green leafy colorful vegetables, getting some exercise for 30 minutes to 1 hour every day, and applying Twist 25 DHEA cream daily.

Happy Father’s Day and have a great Men’s Health Month!
