Husband and wife health

Is sex a blessing? Excessive waist circumference will not only affect cardiovascular health. Recently, a survey in China found that the "sexual" happiness index of couples with excessive waistlines is 30% lower than that of couples with standard waistlines, and 1 of every three couples complained about or teased the waistlines of the other half, which shows that waistlines are also the key to the interaction between couples!

The Millennium Love Health Foundation conducted a survey on 5 10 married men and women aged 30 to 60 in Taiwan Province, and the results were released a few days ago. The survey found that nearly 80% of couples said that the waist circumference of the other half was thicker than that of 10 years ago, and nearly half of couples admitted that the waist circumference would affect the intimacy between husband and wife; Moreover, the sexual well-being index of those with excessive waist circumference is 30% less than that of those with excessive waist circumference. In the case of exceeding the standard, it will reduce the other person's willingness to look at his body, indicating that the waistline exceeding the standard may make the couple happy.

In addition to happiness, an excessive waistline will directly impact health. Wu Zhixing, director of Millennium Love Health Foundation and family medicine physician of Chengda Hospital, reminded that when the waist circumference exceeds the standard, too much visceral fat will affect the metabolism of the human body and make blood pressure out of control, thus increasing the chances of suffering from metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular diseases. The data does show that when the waist circumference of men exceeds the standard of 90 cm, the blood pressure exceeds the standard by 45.6%, and the thicker the waist circumference, the higher the blood pressure exceeds the standard, regardless of men and women.

Boys are 40 years old and girls are 30 years old. Be careful that the waist circumference is close to the upper limit of the standard!

It is worth noting that the waistlines of men and women will increase with age. According to the data of National Health Day in 20 18 and "Millennium Smart Health Station", the waist circumference of men increased greatly before the age of 40, and approached the critical limit of 90 cm from the age of 40 to 49. Women's waistlines are on the verge of exceeding the standard at the age of 30 to 39. After the age of 50, the proportion of women exceeding the 80 cm standard is as high as 50%, and it continues to soar with age.

Dr Wu Zhixing said that the main reasons why men and women approach the critical waistline are different. Men are generally obese because of work and play, while women are more likely to accumulate abdominal fat because of the hormonal influence of menopause. If you don't control it early, you can't escape the fate of pants changing from L to XL.

In this regard, the Millennium Love Health Foundation appeals to young men and women to develop the habit of controlling waist circumference as soon as possible, to ensure that the "waist circumference is 80-90" does not exceed the standard, and to take blood pressure every day to avoid getting out of control with age. In addition, if you don't have a sphygmomanometer at home, you can also go to a smart health station in Taiwan Province to measure your waist circumference and blood pressure, so as to stay away from the threat of metabolic syndrome.
