Statistics show that men over 35 years are at increased risk for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like type 2 diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure. In fact, South African men die, on average, seven years earlier than women, often from preventable causes. The reasons are complex: less frequent health check-ups, more stress and lifestyle habits that can spiral out of control as work and family demands grow.

Breaking the Stigma

Let’s face it: many men avoid the doctor’s office until something goes seriously wrong. There’s a cultural reluctance to talk about health, let alone prioritise it. But taking charge of your well-being isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a commitment to being there for your family and your future. Annual screenings for cholesterol, blood sugar and prostate health should be as routine as your car service check.

Everyday Stress and the Role of Nutrition

At 35, life is busy. You’re juggling work deadlines, family time and maybe even squeezing in a workout. Stress is part of the package, but how you fuel your body can help you cope. Good nutrition, especially adequate protein, supports muscle health, keeps your energy up and aids recovery from daily challenges.

This is where High-Protein Recovery milk comes in. It’s not just for athletes; think of it as a convenient, delicious way to get the nutrients you need, even on your busiest days, because it’s an easy on-the-go option.
