My man is notorious for always getting struck down by the snuffles that he instantly upgrades to Man Flu. How can I make sure he stays healthy this winter and I stay sane? To minimise the risk of coughs and sneezes – he needs to take a supplement while he’s well to keep his immune defence system strong. We recommend taking Thompson’s Immunofort – this one a day supplement provides nutritional fortification against winter ailments and improves the body’s protection against both infections and chronic illness.
If you can’t convince him to take a supplement when he’s well – at the first sign of a cold get him to use Vicks First Defence Nasal Spray this product attacks colds at the early signs and fights the cold virus before it takes hold.
Help, I’m worried my man has lost his sex drive, what can I do to help him get back on the horse? There are a few options. You could try introducing products from the Durex Play range. Why not try Durex Pleasure Max condoms - they have uniquely positioned raised dots and ribs to maximise stimulation for both partners. Or perhaps Durex Play Tingling Lubricant this long lasting silky lube can be used all over the body, ideal for a top to toe tingling experience and helps enhance intimacy, If you need more than variety to get things happening try Nutra-Life Herbal Y which is a high-potency herbal complex to enhance the male libido and build stamina.
My man used to be able to survive on a meat pie and three beer diet, but not so much now that his metabolism has slowed down. What can slip him in his sleep to get him slim and trim again? Well you might not be able to slip him anything in his sleep, but chances are if you’ve noticed it so has he! We recommend your man combines exercise with a supplement like Nutra Life Be Lean 90 Capsules which contain Forslean which helps to increase your body's lean muscle mass, meaning a better body composition through converting fat to lean muscle. I found out on the weekend that my boy’s family has a history of dodgy hearts! How can I ensure we live to a ripe old age together? Well firstly, he should go and visit his GP and talk through his family history of heart disease. An unhealthy heart can be caused by a number of risk factors. Potential risk factors that can be managed are: nutrition, physical activity, weight, smoking, cholesterol levels and blood pressure. The doctor will talk through these risk factors and conduct the appropriate tests. Co-enzyme Q10 is found in every cell in the body, and is highly concentrated in the heart muscles. However, a nutritional deficiency of Co Enzyme Q10 can affect muscle status, circulation, cardiovascular health, blood pressure and severely deplete the immune system. Supplement with Nutra Life Co Q-Max to replenish Co Q10 levels to support a healthy heart.
My man used to have a head of hair on him like Brad Pitt. Now he’s got hair on his chest, on his legs and in other places but not so much on his head. Help! Perhaps a hat? There are some prescription options for managing hair loss – which he should discuss with his Doctor. He may like to try Rogaine a clear solution that you apply to the top of your scalp where hair is thinning. Using it twice a day can re-grow hair, thicken existing hair and stabilize or reduce existing hair loss. My man snores his head off – help – I’ve not had a wink of sleep for years! I’ve tried throwing a pillow over his head, a peg on the nose, an elbow in the side but nothing works! Sounds like you’ve exhausted all possibilities (and yourself) besides the right ones. Snoring is one of the most common sleep related complaints and is a major cause of sleep disruption and stress — and not just for the person snoring! The most common cause of snoring is that the muscles in and around the throat relax too much when we are asleep – try Asonor Nose Drop Solution to lubricate and soften the mucous membranes of his nose and soften the noise and Breathe Right Nasal Strips which work to open up his nasal passages, helping him breathe through his nose not his mouth.
