How to Prevent Male Menopause

1. Make spiritual and psychological adjustments

People are paying more and more attention to the influence of people's spirit and psychology on health. Chinese medicine emphasizes "tranquility and emptiness" in spiritual cultivation, which means being idle and quiet, without greed and distractions. Don't have too high delusions, don't calculate gains and losses, and be cheerful and open-minded. Having a good mental and psychological state is conducive to overcoming the depression and nervous sensitivity of menopause.

2. Arrange meals reasonably

You should reduce the intake of foods with high sugar content, eat more foods rich in protein, calcium and multiple vitamins, and pay attention to proper nutrition; chicken, fish and rabbit meat are easy to absorb and can be eaten appropriately; beans and their products not only contain a large amount of plant protein, but also are the "warehouse" of trace elements necessary for the human body; fresh vegetables can provide a large amount of vitamins and should be used as the main menu. You should also pay attention to keeping low salt, light, and moderate, and not overeating. Don't overeat for dinner, and eating 1 to 2 teaspoons of honey every day can also be a good way to maintain nutrition. In addition, most men in menopause show mental and nervous symptoms, so you should eat more foods that improve the nervous system and cardiovascular diseases, such as: sheep heart, pig heart, yam, walnut kernel, jujube, longan, mulberry, Poria cake, etc. Practice has shown that the above foods are effective in treating headaches, dizziness, fatigue, palpitations, shortness of breath, cold and numb hands and feet, etc. In addition, it is best not to drink strong alcohol or smoke, because alcohol and nicotine will have adverse effects on the central nervous system.

3. Maintain a proper sex life

Most men will experience functional decline and decreased sexual desire after menopause. Many people are troubled by this and seek treatment methods to prolong sexual function. A moderate and enjoyable sex life is beneficial to longevity and health. As men age, they should not have too much sex, but they should not have no sex either. If they do not have sex for a long time, the ability to produce semen will decrease. Therefore, sex should be normalized, and its cycle depends on the individual.

4. Other aspects of health care

For example, doing proper physical exercise every day is good for your health, but you should do it step by step and within your ability; you should have a regular schedule for daily life, a proper balance between work and rest, a regular life, and the amount of clothing you add or remove should adapt to the changes of the four seasons; you should learn to adapt to the current social situation and the surrounding environment, and stay calm and not be impatient when encountering things.
