Rayno Vermeulen, Vascamen’s national sales manager, a herbal supplement, draws inspiration from Nelson Mandela’s resilience to discuss how South African men can live their best lives regardless of age.
According to Vermeulen, Mandela taught people the value of resiliency, purpose, and an unflinching devotion to one’s principles.
Regardless of age, men may improve their vitality, energy, and general well-being by taking good care of their physical and mental health, cultivating out their relationships, and completing these healthy habits with the appropriate supplements.
Vermeulen says men should let Mandela’s legacy inspire them to take charge of their health and vitality.
“Mandela showed us the power of resilience, purpose, and unwavering commitment to one’s values. By caring for their physical and mental health, nurturing our relationships, and complementing these healthy habits with the right supplements, men can enhance their vitality, energy, and overall well-being regardless of age.”
Reflecting on the significance of this Mandela Month for men’s health, Vermeulen says: “Nelson Mandela once said, ‘There is no passion to be found playing small ‒ in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.’ This powerful statement reminds us that vitality isn’t just about physical health ‒ it’s about embracing life with passion and purpose at every age. At Vascamen, we believe that supporting men’s health is about enabling them to live life to its fullest potential, just as Mandela did throughout his remarkable journey.”
He further suggests that men live their best lives with the following practical tips for vitality.
Stay physically active
Regular physical activity is crucial for maintaining health and vitality as we age. It improves cardiovascular health, enhances mobility, and boosts mental well-being.
Vermeulen suggests you find activities you enjoy, whether hiking in our beautiful landscapes, playing sports with friends, or simply taking regular walks. The key is consistency and making it a part of your daily routine.
Nurture social connections
He cites a saying by Mandela stating, “A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.” This wisdom extends to the importance of social connections for our overall well-being. Strong social ties can reduce stress, improve mental health, and even boost our immune system.
Manage stress effectively
Effective stress management is crucial for maintaining vitality in today’s fast-paced world. Mandela’s ability to remain calm and focused even in the most challenging circumstances is a testament to the power of a balanced mind.
Support your health with supplements: While a healthy lifestyle forms the foundation of vitality, supplements can play a crucial supportive role, especially as we age.
Start small
Set achievable goals and gradually increase your efforts.
Schedule health activities
Treat exercise and self-care as non-negotiable appointments.
Find an accountability partner
