What kind of food should eat the men to be healthy and active? The answer to this question gave dietitian Vardanush Petrosyan to the correspondent of NEWS.am Medicine.

«Food is not just chemical elements and compounds that give us energy and perform as a construction material. The food has also its own essence, energy», she said.

According to Petrosyan, most of all attention to the spirit and energy of food is given in the East, because the Eastern sages believe that food is able to harmonize the body and stress femininity in women and masculinity in men.

As noted Petrosyan, testosterone - the "male" hormone - is synthesized mainly from cholesterol. Excess cholesterol can cause many problems, but its normal amount is necessary for the organism. Therefore, food that contains cholesterol is considered masculine food.

So first of all men should include in their diet eggs, meat and fish - these foods increase the amount of male hormones in the blood and make a man more active and masculine.

«In the men's diet the meat must be present, because it makes a man more masculine, adventurous, active, able to make decisions and adjusting the environment for themselves, rather than adapting», said Petrosyan.

Furthermore, the above products are rich in proteins, that are known to help increase muscle mass, which is also important for men.

Of course, this does not mean that men's diet should consist only of meat, fish and eggs, as the misuse of these products can lead to several problems. For example, an excess of cholesterol can lead to a number of cardiovascular diseases.

«In addition, masculinity is also good in moderation, because excess testosterone makes men aggressive and angry», said Vardanush Petrosyan.
