An estimated three million men are working around with early signs of diabetes and don’t even know it. Taking this mineral could protect them from full-blown diabetes by boosting their bodies’ ability to regulate blood sugar levels. Keeping chromium stores up also seems to help the body manage stress.

Fruits, vegetables, fish and chicken will supply some of the body’s needs. But a good diet alone isn’t likely to get you adequate stores of chromium. Taking a daily supplement to assure you the male-recommended dose of 50 to 200 micrograms is recommended. Two chromium-fortified tablets of brewer’s yeast should do the trick.
