Seven killers of men's health

According to statistics, the life expectancy of men is generally 3-5 years shorter than that of women. On the one hand, the physical structure of men and women is different, on the other hand, it is caused by men's living habits and social pressure. Health TV station Wulanchabu summarized the "seven killers" that affect men's health for you. Men should pay more attention to prolonging life.

1. Liver cancer "killer"

Liver cancer is the top ten cancer in men, which causes tens of thousands of deaths every year. Liver cancer has no symptoms, so it is difficult to self-detect, so we can only rely on screening.

Suggestion: Men should check whether they carry hepatitis virus as soon as possible. If the diagnosis is confirmed, we must check the liver function index regularly and do abdominal ultrasound examination. Treat them as soon as possible. If you are a paunchy man, be careful, fatty liver may also become cirrhosis or even liver cancer. Losing weight quickly is the best policy.

2. Lung cancer "killer"

For most male smokers, lung cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in men.

Suggestion: Quit smoking as soon as possible. Not smoking can reduce the risk of lung cancer by 90%, and it can also reduce your wife's risk of lung cancer. Men who smoke regularly go to the hospital for relevant examinations to prevent the occurrence of lung cancer.

3. Cardiovascular disease "killer"

Arteriosclerosis means "a man's greatest enemy" in Latin. Because women are protected by estrogen, the onset time of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is about 10 years later than men. Moreover, cholesterol slowly deposits in the blood vessels of the heart or brain, and once it is blocked, heart disease or stroke will occur.

Suggestion: Men should have their cholesterol checked every five years after the age of 20. If they are abnormal, they should quit smoking first, then increase their activity for at least half an hour every day and eat more fruits and vegetables.

4. Diabetes "killer"

Hyperglycemia can damage the kidneys. According to the survey, more than half of the sugar friends with 19 did not know that they were sick. Hyperglycemia can do harm to the heart, eyes, nerves and kidneys, and make people depressed. Obesity and large waistline are hotbeds of diabetes.

Suggestion: Exercise plus healthy diet is the way to prevent it.

5. Prostate killer

In recent years, prostate cancer ranks fifth in male cancer incidence and seventh in mortality. There were 936 deaths last year, more than cervical cancer. Men don't know much about prostate cancer, and more than half of the patients are found to be advanced. Like many other cancers, prostate cancer is closely related to lifestyle.

Suggestion: Go to the hospital for regular check-up, early detection and early treatment. Eating more red fruits and vegetables, such as tomatoes, pomelos and watermelons, is rich in lycopene, which can reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Soybean products such as soybean milk and tofu can inhibit the secretion of androgen that nourishes tumor growth. Drink more tea, because tea contains catechins, which can also protect the prostate.

6.gout killer

People diagnosed with gout before the age of 40 account for 1/3 of all patients. More and more high school boys suffer from gout. In order to celebrate festivals or activities, boys overeat or even drink alcohol, which is easy to induce the disease. To prevent gout, we should refuse to eat more animal viscera and drink more. As soon as wine enters the stomach, uric acid will be produced during metabolism in the body, which will increase uric acid in the blood; Alcohol can also hinder uric acid excretion.

Suggestion: avoid overeating, the uric acid value will rise and fall, which will accelerate the deposition of sodium urate and cause gout.

7. Depression "killer"

People usually think that women are more likely to commit suicide. In fact, the suicide mortality rate of men is 2.2 times that of women. Depression is the seventh biggest killer of male health. Depression is not only a bad mood, but also affects people's health. Depression affects the body and mind, causing different degrees of insomnia, loss of appetite and general weakness, and increasing the risk of heart disease and diabetes.

Suggestions: Keep a happy mood, communicate and cooperate with others more, exercise outdoors properly, and participate in group activities more.

It is best to have regular physical examination in life, early detection and early treatment. Wish you good health.
