You might show concerns about your family’s health every step of the way, but have you taken the time to consider what aspects of your partner’s health need examining? If you’ve got a hubby who is, like so many men, afraid of going to the doctor, a major health condition or worse could be right around the corner. So, instead of getting to that point, it might be best to encourage them to take the right supplements. What are the best ones as men age?

 

Boron

Not typically mentioned in the roster of essential supplements. But for men, where prostate cancer is one of the, if not the most common cancer, boron supplements will help to prevent the development of prostate cancer. Men with the highest rate of boron in their bodies are 65% less likely to develop prostate cancer. In addition to this, it’s beneficial for concentration and memory.

 

Testosterone

As men age, their hormone levels start to go awry. As testosterone provides many of the essential functions in men, including strength, they can take a testosterone supplement, or for general hormone deficiency, there are herbs like Tongkat Ali and offshoots like Eurycomanone. You can buy Eurycomanone easily online. But as men age, their testosterone levels drop, and it’s vital that men keep their levels up.

 

Omega-3

We’ve all heard by now how omega-3 is essential for overall health. Its biggest benefit is for protecting your heart. As omega-3 fatty acids keep your blood pressure under control, this will help your heart beat regularly. You can get your fill of omega-3 from oily fish such as mackerel or salmon, or you can purchase an omega-3 supplement easily over the counter.

 

Glucosamine

As men get older, cartilage in the joints wears away. If your man likes to go running or put his body under a lot of pressure, this cartilage will wear away after time. Various supplements include glucosamine, MSM, and chondroitin, which form a powerhouse trio in protecting your joints. If you want to go the long way round in protecting your joints, you can join the bone broth bandwagon, and make soups and stews, using the bones of grass-fed animals, which releases collagen. It is also great for your skin, as it promotes its elasticity.

 

Creatine

Creatine in high doses is not that good. And there are many concerns about the side effects of prolonged use, but creatine in small doses isn’t just fantastic for boosting muscle, but it’s fantastic for the mind. There are various creatine supplements available, and if your man works out, then it’s a very beneficial substance to have in the short term.

 

If the man in your life refuses to go to the doctor, then it’s so important that you get them the most important supplements for overall body and brain composition. But, if you notice long-term problems, it’s vital that they go to the doctor. As far as maintaining day-to-day health is concerned, supplements are great, but they still need medical help where necessary.

Don’t Screw Up Your Next First Date

Don’t Screw Up Your Next First Date

It doesn’t matter whether your day job is working as a fisherman on Deadliest Catch or as a sherpa on Mount Everest, going on a first date is pretty much as nerve-wracking, heart-pounding a totally terrifying as life can get. Sure, you risked rejection and leapt into the unknown by asking her on a date, but now you need to walk the tightrope of impressing her without coming on too strong.

 

This is where most guys fall flat on their face, walking into the same bear traps as so many gentlemen that came before them, inadvertently turning women off on their pursuit of the one.

 

That’s where we come in. We’ve pulled together a sort of guide to help you avoid making these disastrous mistakes. Sure, some of them may seem a little trivial, while others may seem a little bold but, let’s be real for a second, you don’t get much leeway when it comes to a first date. On paper it’s simple: don’t mess things up. But doing that when you don’t know them yet, that’s the tough part.

 

  1. Show Up On Time.

This whole thing about being ‘fashionably late’ doesn’t work on a first date. Or any date for that matter. All it does is tell the beautiful lady sat waiting for you that she isn’t enough of a priority for you to show up on time, and a time that you probably picked. You only get one shot at a first impression, remember that.

 

  1. Show Up In Style.

You don’t need to land on a rooftop terrace wearing a parachute having just leapt from a passing helicopter, but you do need to show some form of style when you show up. That could mean you head to cleanharleys.com today, pick up the kind of bike Steve McQueen would ride and pull up outside the bar or it could just mean you know how to look good stepping out of the back of an Uber. Whatever it is, know how to show up in style.

 

  1. Listen To Her, Okay.

Don’t get us wrong, she wants to learn more about you. Of course she does. But that doesn’t mean she wants to sit there as you talk at her face, telling her all about your life and giving off the impression you are a narcissist. Instead, show her that you are genuinely interested in her, as this article on manthesis.com explains how to do. Our advice: start off by asking about her job, her ambitions, what made her pick that career and what she wants to accomplish. Letting her know you take her work seriously is what gentlemen do.

 

  1. Take Pride In Your Appearance.

If there is one thing you can guarantee from a girl on a first date it’s that she will come looking her best. She’ll do this because she’ll want you to know she a) takes pride in her appearance and b) is an absolute catch. You need to do the same. Now, you don’t need to spend an hour getting ready and trying on every combination of clothes possible but, like we mentioned above, you need to let her know she’s worth the effort of you looking super-suave.

5 Actionable Tips to Become a Professional Player in Darts

5 Actionable Tips to Become a Professional Player in Darts

Image

It is possible to gain the right mastery that will help you become a professional player in darts. Some of the things that we will share are well known to you, but we will be emphasizing on some of the things that you may not have taken too seriously. It is essential to take your game to new heights by paying the requisite price.

 

5 Actionable Tips

 

Use the best darts: We have reviewed some of the best darts on cheapest darts, but we will like to make some positions clear in this piece. Every player has a responsibility to determine the tools that they intend to use. You may purchase the most expensive dart, and it may not give you the results that you desire. On the other hand, you can get the cheapest darts and hit scores that will really amaze you. In everything, people must be aware that it is ideal to give yourself the right platform that will enable you rise to the top. Each of the accessories that you use can determine what will happen to your game. It is perfect that you follow some professional reviews that will help you pick good darts.

 

Practice: You must note that it takes an average of 10,000 hours practice in any field for you to rise to the top. As huge as this figure may stand, you can work out a practice time that can fit your daily life experiences. It will not be long before you start hitting scores that will amaze you. Most people who have decided to create the discipline of practice attest to the fact that they discovered that it got easier as time progressed. You must not start working to become an international champion right away. Simply set your target to hit the highest possible score based on your current level, and you are on your path to the top. A few rituals might help you keep to your practice such as finding a way to reward yourself if you invest the required hours of practice that you have set for a given day.

 

Participate in tournaments: There is no need to keep drilling yourself if you are not going to test your skills on a higher scale. When we talk about tournaments, it must not be a globally renowned competition. You can call your friends and loved ones to a duel, and this will help to improve your skill and confidence. There are times when you can take things to the next level by participating in a local competition. The goal is not to win the gold medal but to help you on your journey to becoming the greatest that you can be. Time and again, people have realized that they could be more and do more as they stretched their talent to compete with some of the best hands in their area.

 

Read: You have to read widely about the techniques that professionals use when they play the game of darts. This knowledge can help you determine the things that you need to imbibe and the things that you need to avoid. You must not take things for granted because single information can make or break the status of your game.

Connect: Look for ways to connect with other professionals that will help you become better at what you do. You can follow their social media page, and you can look for communities that will challenge you in a healthy form. There must be something that will keep driving you positively till you reach your goal.

5 Things that Put a Huge Strain on Your Relationship

5 Things that Put a Huge Strain on Your Relationship

Long-term relationships are hard work. When we’re young, we dream of finding our soul mate, settling down and living happily ever after; we don’t think about the work that goes into making a relationship work. But, it does take effort, and it’s important to realize this so that you don’t just give up at the first sign of trouble. Even the happiest of marriages have the occasional blip; it’s how you come through them that makes you perfect for each other. What makes a relationship work is different for all of us, but there are a few things that almost universally put a strain on them. That’s not to say that these things should be avoided, just that you should be prepared and give your relationship more time and attention when it needs it.

 

The Internet

This is a huge change that modern relationships are facing. Our parents and grandparents either spent time together, or they didn’t. In today’s society, we spend time together, sat next to each other in fact, giving our phones and social media feeds all of our attention. We sit together, sharing our day with strangers online, barely communicating at all.

 

Social media, the internet and smartphones are fantastic tools. But, when you start giving them more attention that you give the people in your home, it’s time to take a step back. Leave your phones in other rooms occasionally and give each other your full attention.

 

Moving to A New House

 

Moving to a new house is tough. It takes a lot of time, effort and hard work, and your relationship can easily get neglected, especially if you don’t 100% agree on your new home or your reasons for moving. Try to make sure you are on the same page, talk everything through, be honest with each other and use a removalist to make sure the move itself is as easy and stress-free as possible.

 

Vacations

 

Vacations should be a fantastic stress-free time. In reality, they’re often not. We put huge amounts of pressure on ourselves and each other to have a great time, which can cause arguments and friction. Instead, be spontaneous, and relax. Just enjoy being together away from home.

 

Money

Money is one of the leading causes of arguments in most marriages. We worry about it, we argue about it, we disagree on what to do with it, and if we haven’t got enough of it, we lay blame with each other. It’s important to start as you mean to go on with money. Always be honest and talk to your partner about what’s going on and never rush into a financial decision without consulting them first, even if it’s your money.

 

Family

Family is another cause of strain in relationships. If you get on with each other’s family and enjoy spending equal time with both sides, then you should count yourself lucky. For many of us, it’s a constant battle. Learn to compromise, and to bite your lip for the good of your relationship.

Find Motivation in Minutes

Find Motivation in Minutes

Image from http://www.patrickmanifold.com/

My biggest motivation for me personally is my goals, which together form the vision of the man I want to become. That guy is easily my biggest motivation! I truly love my life now… but his life looks absolutely incredible! So every single day that vision motivates me and inspires me to keep putting in the work I need to in order to make that vision a reality.

In the past I struggled with being happy along the way, and for some silly reason I only allowed myself to be truly happy when I had achieved something amazing, which of course was only sporadically, setting myself up for months of unhappiness. But over the last four or five years I have really made the conscious decision to enjoy every step along the way.

It’s true what they say, it is as much about the journey as it is the destination. So for anyone out there like me who is super ambitious, please remember that you can allow yourself to be happy every single day, just by making the conscious decision to do so.

During a recent interview I was asked why so many people are not motivated in life. I stated that the reason so many people are unmotivated about life is because they don’t have anything in their lives to be motivated about. If you don’t have goals, or things you want to do or achieve, or things that you truly love doing, then there is no way you are going to be jumping out of bed excited about life to get to work every day.

As you probably know I am the founder of a full-service personal development called ‘Manifold Motivation’ and as our name suggests, we specialize in motivation. I think that motivation is both an art and a science, or a ‘why’ and a ‘how’ as I often describe it.

The reason one thing motivates some and not others has to do with our unique emotional triggers. When I am working with a client who has ambition to do something, but can’t seem to find the motivation, I use certain techniques to find out what really matters to them. I ask them questions that delve deeper and deeper into their ‘why’. Once I have done this and got some results it is far easier for that person to make progress towards their goals, as they’re no longer battling against feeling unmotivated. Instead they can focus all their energy on the important tasks at hand.

The next step is that after you have figured out your ‘why’, you then have to find your ‘how’. This will act as your ‘motivational hacks’ to jump start you when you’re feeling lazy or uninspired. For me, I have lots of hacks for various areas of my life, and they are all equally important to my productivity. You have to find your own ‘how’, and your own ‘hacks’, but only you have the keys to unlocking what those are.

So if I could offer any advice to someone struggling with motivation I would tell them that firstly, they have to find a ‘why’ that truly drives them and inspires them to take action. And secondly, I would tell them to work to find different hacks they can use that they know will motivate them in minutes. You can either do these things yourself, or you can hire someone to help you get there faster, but regardless of the route you take, make sure you do something, because there is a door that leads to all the places you have ever dreamed of; but the key to unlocking that door is your motivation.

So you see, the secret to motivation is having a powerful ‘why’ and an intelligent ‘how’. These two elements form the art and science of human motivation, and that’s the quickest way to get you from you are to where you want to be.
