title: Nutrition and the aging male.
abstract: Numerous studies have now found that good nutrition coupled with exercise are key factors to aging successfully. In addition, it is now clear that men who drink 2 shots of alcohol (red wine or other) do better. Women are limited to only 1 drink a day. This article examines some key nutritional factors involved in successful aging and highlights different needs between men and women.
