The result is surprising, those with vitamin D levels low in the blood turned out to have poor scores on tests of visual recognition and visual information processing.

One researcher David Lee, PhD, MPH from England's University of Manchester say that these findings may be related to geographical conditions for the best for our bodies to produce vitamin D when exposed to the sun's rays, they are living place with little sunlight produce less vitamin D, which in turn will affect the results of this research.

Men's Health peek Based Age (AGE 40 years) by: Mini Tangas

General Condition: At this age, men experience a decline in ability, which is not nimble as his 20-year-old, for example. If you like unto a young man from poor sleep habits, at the age of 40 years he usually had experienced fatigue.

In this exercise should note a few things, especially if you have hypertension or heart disease. The man who was fat at the age of 40 years and above should reduce the burden of sports. Because there may have a problem with the muscles or joints. So do not be too hard to do an activity that heavy exercise.




There are several diseases to watch out for, namely degenerative diseases (diseases that occur due to age). These diseases occur primarily because the pattern of less healthy lives, for example, does not consider eating (the content of uric acid, cholesterol, salt). So we could be in over 40 years will experience a variety of diseases, especially if supported by other risk factors such as obesity.

Muscle mass and muscle strength began to decline, increased body fat, and various diseases arise that could interfere with sexual function, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

Psychological factors can also interfere with sexual function, such as saturation with everyday situations, loss of intimacy with a spouse, partner attractiveness loss, disappointment, and resentment.

In addition to sexual function, male fertility is declining. The quantity and quality of sperm cells was also decreased. Thus, the assumption is not true that states male fertility remains high despite advanced age. Because it is recommended at age above 40 years old, men and women should not have children anymore.
