I went to Sin Hup Huat to change my car tyres today. While waiting, I read the "Buyer's Guide" magazine Dec 06/Jan 07 issue at the customer waiting area. Page 18 caught my attention, so I just want to share what I read today.
1. Tomato Sauce
Men who eat a lot of tomatoes, tomato sauce, or pizza smothered with stuff may be giving themselves a hedget against prostate cancer. A carotenoid called lycopene, which tomato contain in abundance, appeared to be responsible. But scientists were still puzzled: tomato juice didn't seem to have a protective effect.

2. Oysters
Just two or three oysters deliver a full day's supply of zinc, a mineral critical for normal functioning of the male reproductive system.
3. Broccoli
A recent Harvard study finds that cruciferous vegetables, like broccoli, may protect against bladder cancer.
4. Peanut Butter
If you want a healthy heart, spread your morning toast with peanut butter. "Peanut butter is a little higher in fat", says Penny Kris-Etherton, Ph.D., the lead author of the Penn State study. "But it's the type that's good for you - monounsaturated fat." Researchers have predicted that the peanut diet could reduce heart-disease risk even more than could the AHA diet. Just don't go nutty plastering on the tasty spread, since it is high in calories.
5. Watermelon
Until the age of 55, more men suffer from high blood pressure than do women. Research suggests that foods rich in potassium can reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke. Watermelon, a rich source of this mineral, has more potassium - 664mg - in one large slice than the amount found in a banana or a cup of orange juice.
There you have it : five great foods for men that can keep you well-fed and healthy too.
