Does the man in your life eat his vegetables? Help him have a healthy lifestyle with Shaklee's Men's mullti-vitamin

"We all know that men and women are different – so it only makes sense that they have different nutritional requirements.  Shaklee designed this Men's Health Pack to meet their special health needs.

For both prostate fitness and heart health, Men's Health Pack zeros in on men's most important health concerns."


My husband is not a vegetable eater.  He lives a busy lifestyle so its not uncommon for him to run through fast food places or snack on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.  Now that we are both approaching 30......(gasp) we have been taking a little better care of ourselves.  We both take Shaklee's multi-vitamin.  My husband takes the Men's Health multi-vitamin.
He also takes a vitamin b-complex to compensate for his on-the-go lifestyle.  I take women's Vitalea and the vitamin b-complex.

    How to get your husband to eat vegetables. Tip #3 Stuffed Broccoli

    How to get your husband to eat this super food? Just two florets - raw or lightly cooked - count as a veggie portion.

    Not only does broccoli contain antioxidants including vitamin C but it's a particularly good source of folate (naturally occuring folic acid).

    Increasing your intake of folic acid is thought to be of major benefit in preventing heart disease.

    Broccoli also contains an antioxidant called lutein that can delay the progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This affects 10 per cent of people over 60 and is a major cause of impaired vision and blindness.

    Finally, broccoli also contains a phytochemical called sulphoraphane that has specific anti-cancer properties. P.S. Notice that there is exactly two florets or broccoli :)

    How to get your husband to eat vegetables. Tip #1 Introduce Vegetables in Small Quantities














    It took me almost 5 years of being married to convince my husband to at least try spinach.  Tip #1 says introduce vegetables in small quantities.  As you can see, hubby's meal is on the left: angle hair pasta with creamy alfredo sauce, grilled shrimp scampi, and spinach cooked in extra virgin olive oil and garlic. I dish a portion to equal about 2 tastes, while my plate on the right has about 1 cup.
