After entering middle age, men face not only the double test of career and family, but also the physical test-men's health, so men's life expectancy is shorter than that of women.
Mr. Chen, 43, runs his own restaurant. Recently, he has encountered some troubles. He has always been healthy, and he began to have frequent symptoms of waist, legs and shoulders. Moreover, he lost a lot of hair when combing his hair, and his temper was often out of control. He often yells at his family and often quarrels with his wife over trifles. This is the midlife crisis for men's health.
For men themselves, their own health is the basis and premise to support the normal operation of everything. Sometimes seemingly trivial problems are likely to pose a health threat to men when they are in poor health.
Men generally live shorter lives than women? Get out of here! /Really? Although many men don't want to hear the real answer, it is true. Men usually live shorter lives than women. There are three main reasons for this phenomenon:
Emotional factors: compared with women, men are not good at venting negative emotions, and it is a common problem for most men to choose to silently bear and digest bad emotions. As everyone knows, doing so will have an impact on health. Modern medicine shows that bad emotions will reduce immunity and increase the risk of diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease and cancer. Therefore, people who are often in a bad mood are more likely to get sick.
Physical consumption factors: because men have stronger bodies and more advantages in physical fitness than women, physical activities and high-risk jobs are more undertaken by men, which will consume more physical strength and thus affect the length of life.
Men don't have menstrual period: For women, the performance of menstrual period allows them to indirectly monitor their health. If you find a disease, you can treat it in time, but men don't have a menstrual period and miss the important opportunity to find the disease signal.
Comparatively speaking, some people live shorter lives.
Four kinds of short-lived men are irritable men: when angry, the blood vessel wall contracts, which will lead to an increase in blood pressure, thus increasing the wear and tear of the heart and posing a threat to health. Research shows that grumpy people are more likely to suffer from myocardial infarction, stroke and other diseases, so grumpy men live shorter lives.
Men trapped in a dead end: Some men love to be trapped in a dead end when they encounter big and small problems, and will never stop until they find the answers they want. Although it is a good character to insist on not giving up, if sesame and mung beans are always stuck in a dead end, it will increase their burden, accelerate aging, and thus affect life expectancy.
Suspicious and jealous man: This kind of man is eccentric, never trusts others easily, and is always suspicious. In severe cases, he may even suffer from paranoia. Over time, it is easy to affect his health, increase the incidence of diabetes, heart disease and other diseases, and his life expectancy is naturally shorter.
Men who don't know how to release pressure: There is a kind of man who is very tolerant of outsiders and will not have bad emotions no matter how big things he encounters. But in fact, their apparent calm does not mean that their hearts are the same. They bury all negative emotions in their hearts, but they are more likely to get arterial disease and have a worse quality of life.
For men, after entering middle age, there will also be a "health crisis".
Three major health crises of middle-aged men: According to the statistics of the American Heart Research Council, at least 654.38+million new heart patients are born every year, and many men over 40 years old die of heart disease. Men entering middle age are easily targeted by hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia due to irregular diet and lack of exercise, resulting in "three highs" problem.
Hair loss: Due to genetic factors or diseases, middle-aged men are prone to hair loss, not only the hairline moves backward, but also "Mediterranean" symptoms. Experts say that male hair loss should be treated as a disease, find out the cause, prescribe the right medicine and treat it in time.
Insomnia: About one third of middle-aged men have experienced insomnia. They either have difficulty falling asleep, or wake up at three or four in the morning, and then they can't sleep anymore. Middle-aged men often bear heavy pressure, which comes from work, family and society. Besides, men are not very talkative. When you are stressed, the quality of sleep will decline.
Obesity: A beer belly is a sign of "greasy uncle", but inevitably, most middle-aged men will have a beer belly. On the one hand, men's metabolism slows down after entering middle age, on the other hand, unhealthy diet and lack of exercise are the reasons for beer belly.
Joint aging: men are prone to calcium deficiency when they reach middle age. In addition, they need to sit in front of the computer for several hours at work. If you persist for a long time, it is easy to cause joint aging, joint pain, low back pain and other problems.
So, what is the standard to judge the health status of middle-aged men?
Over 50 years old, no three diseases come to your door, which proves that you have a long life of diabetes: middle-aged men have a very high probability of getting diabetes, which will affect kidney function and lead to kidney disease. In addition, the increase of blood sugar in diabetic patients will lead to peripheral vascular diseases and local tissue damage. Worst of all, diabetics are more likely to suffer from cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, if middle-aged men do not have diabetes, it means that their health status is ideal.
Cancer: Men are more likely to get cancer than women, such as common liver cancer, lung cancer and stomach cancer. And men are more likely to be recruited, which also leads to shorter life expectancy of men than women. Most importantly, men are more likely to ignore the signs of physical discomfort and miss the best treatment opportunity for cancer. Coupled with factors such as heavy psychological burden and unsatisfactory economic ability, life expectancy will be greatly shortened.
Kidney disease: Many men often drink and smoke, but as everyone knows, these two habits pose a great threat to kidney health. Because the kidney is the main detoxification organ, when its function is damaged, it is prone to frequent urination and urgency, and then serious nephropathy occurs. Therefore, if the kidneys of men over 50 are still healthy, it means that they will live longer.
Do a few things well. Men want to maintain a certain "ability" in middle age. The following things must be done well, don't be discouraged.
Quit smoking and drinking and eat healthy food: If you want to be healthy, you must stay away from alcohol and tobacco and take good care of your liver. Although middle-aged men have a lot of social activities, for the sake of good health, they should try to avoid contact with alcohol and tobacco. At the dinner table, they should also eat more healthy food, such as vegetables and fruits.
Pay attention to the law of diet and rest: Middle-aged men often miss three meals because of the high work pressure, and it is also common to stay up late and work overtime, but irregular diet and rest are more likely to make middle-aged men "exhausted". If you want to keep a "working body", it is very important to pay attention to the rules of diet and work and rest.
Insist on exercise: Exercise is the only rule to keep a "working figure", which can keep men away from beer bellies and stay young. On the premise of maintaining a regular diet and routine, you should also take time to exercise every day, such as walking, playing ball, swimming, riding a bike and so on.
Don't put off minor ailments and pains: many serious illnesses are dragged out, but men always feel strong. They don't pay attention to minor ailments and pains, don't go to see a doctor, and don't take medicine, which is easy to make minor ailments and pains deteriorate slowly and eventually become serious illnesses, which is harmful to health.
Know how to release stress: Men who are often "occupied" by negative emotions live shorter lives. Therefore, when they encounter something unsatisfactory, they can talk to someone or release their pressure through sports and entertainment.
Although men's life expectancy is shorter than that of women, they can have a healthy body as long as they pay attention to and protect their health.
