What are the five major characteristics of male aging?

Everyone is afraid of aging, especially after middle age. Most people will become distressed because of aging. Men in particular have many bad habits in life, such as frequent smoking and drinking, staying up late at night, liking big fish and meat, eating very rich food, etc. These bad habits will lead to accelerated aging of men, so what are the characteristics of men's aging?

Five signs of aging in men:

1. Visual deterioration

After the age of 40, the eyes begin to age. The lens of the eyeball grows thicker with age. At first, it feels like looking through a layer of frosted glass at night, so many middle-aged and elderly people are reluctant to go out at night. Using computers and playing with mobile phones for a long time accelerates the aging of modern people's eyes. If it is not controlled, it is easy to suffer from eye diseases such as cataracts, macular degeneration, and glaucoma in the future. Many people find it difficult to read books, newspapers, and watch TV without glasses.

Tips: First, pay attention to using your eyes scientifically. Do not use the computer for more than 45 minutes continuously, and do not play with the mobile phone for more than half an hour. Secondly, stand up and look into the distance for 5 minutes during work breaks, and do eye exercises. Finally, eat foods rich in beta-carotene and lutein, such as corn, carrots, purple cabbage, spinach, eggs, deep-sea fish (such as tuna, salmon), sweet potatoes, etc.

2. Hearing loss

Older people may notice that the TV is getting louder and louder, or that the violin is no longer as melodious as it was when they were young. Similarly, because most closed syllables in speech have high-pitched consonants (such as k, t, s, p, and ch), older people may think that other people are always talking in a grunting manner. In general, hearing begins to decline around the age of 55, and people who work in a noisy environment are more likely to have hearing deterioration.

Tips: Make your home a haven for your ears. Don’t turn up the TV or stereo too loudly. If your house faces the street, plant some green plants on the windowsill and use soundproof curtains.

3. Memory loss

The brain begins to age at the age of 22, but memory does not change significantly until the 40s. Cognitive aging can happen to everyone, and the specific manifestation is poor memory, such as not being able to remember other people's names, misplacing things, etc. The bad habit of modern people's over-reliance on electronic devices has exacerbated the process of memory decline.

4. Fewer impulses

According to statistics, the average 25-year-old can have 104 orgasms per year, 52 at 50, and about 22 at 70. At 65, 25% of people will have difficulty in having an erection. Many people rarely enjoy sex after the age of 40. Among them, men show that the interval between two sexual activities is getting longer and longer, they always feel tired after sex, they are anxious about sex, and even have erectile dysfunction.

I used to be passionate about sex, but now I feel powerless and even ashamed to face my beloved wife. I used to be able to show off for half an hour, but now I can finish it in just ten minutes. This shows that I am getting old.

Tips: Studies have found that sex can reduce stress, bring physical and mental satisfaction and quality sleep. To delay the aging of sexual function, first of all, you must maintain a good attitude, avoid anxiety, and be calm and confident; secondly, you must insist on regular sex, maintain good living habits, and avoid bad habits such as alcoholism and staying up late for a long time.

5. Gaining weight and eating less

The proportion of fat tissue in men between the ages of 25 and 75 increases by nearly 100%, and the increased fat is mostly accumulated in muscle and organ tissues. As people age, the motility of the gastrointestinal tract decreases, and the digestion and absorption function also decreases, making them more susceptible to indigestion. The secretion of bile also decreases with age, which weakens the body's ability to digest and absorb fat. Therefore, people lose their appetite for big fish and meat, and their food intake also decreases.

Tips: Eat more vegetables and fruits rich in dietary fiber. Moderate exercise can enhance gastrointestinal motility.
