For Men Only

[#1]

You read and hear plenty about women’s nutrition needs, but what about the guys? In honor of Father’s Day, here’s some “food for thought” just for men:

Your 20s

Men in their 20s tend to be physically active, so you can likely eat what you want without worrying too much about weight gain.  But that doesn’t mean the calories you munch should be empty ones.  Focus on nutrient-rich snacks like fruits, veggies, nuts and whole grains (such as whole-wheat crackers and unbuttered popcorn) and go easy on the fried foods, chips, cookies and other sugary desserts. 

Your 30s

You’re probably less physically active but your appetite­ and eating pattern haven’t changed.   You’ll likely gain weight if you don’t maintain the level of exercise that helped you ward off excess pounds when you were younger.  Men tend to carry weight around their middle, and belly fat increases risk for diabetes and heart disease.  So it’s important to pay attention to what and how much you eat.  Keep an eye on portion sizes and skip second helpings.

Your 40s

Heart disease is a growing concern at this age, so eating a heart-healthy diet is key.  It’s also important to watch out for high blood pressure.

Your 50s and Beyond

Older men have more specific nutrient needs.  You lose muscle mass as you age, so include enough protein in your diet:  lean meat and skinless poultry, seafood, eggs, beans, peas, soy (maybe say soy burgers or products since tofu is also soy?), tofu and nuts are good sources. Although osteoporosis is often thought of as a women’s disease, it affects 25% of men, too, so bone up on the nutrients you need to stay strong.  Check out these tips for older adults.

Today I am frustrated.  For a couple of weeks now the JUST4U savings is not being applied at the checkout.  I find this frustrating because I take the time to go to the Website, choose my items, "add" them to my list and then I expect to receive the advertised price.  This has not been happening, and I feel it is wrong on Safeway's behalf.  Don't offer me a price, and then not ring me up correctly for it.  Once I can understand, twice is unacceptable.  Poor business practice Safeway.

The Douglas WY Safeway store is a complete disaster!  The produce dept has places with nothing in it =the necterines(about5) were all shriveled up that no one would buy.  The meat dept was almost bare there was no poork roasts except for the ones in a bag, one pkg of bulk pork chops, that was all-no pkgs of thin cut boneless pork chops or any other chops, no one in the meat dept shelves have bare places all over them.  You get to stand in line that is backed up to get checked out and if there is a carryout person, they lay on the counter then look at you and say ya want any help?  It is a real inconvience for them.  It is not any wonder people here drive to the Walmart in Casper for their groceries-they find waht they want and guess what they save a whole lot of money. Walking around the store today I could not believe the bareness of shelves all over the store.
