Only men who can do this can make their wives feel comfortable.

If you don't have health, no matter how much you do, it will be meaningless. Everyone knows this truth, but not everyone can do it. So, today we are going to talk about what kind of man is considered healthy? We hope that all men in the world can practice it.

Balance: Stand on one leg for 7 seconds

People with a good sense of balance walk with a steady gait, giving people the impression of being fit and graceful.

The test method is: put your hands on your waist, close your eyes, and stand on one leg that is easier to stand on; the raised foot can be raised or lowered, but it cannot touch the supporting foot; the end sign is that the supporting foot moves or the raised foot touches the ground; perform the test twice and record the longer time. Usually more than 7 seconds is considered a pass.

Exercises for joints and muscles can improve balance, and some unconventional exercises can also stimulate the body to make a balance response, such as walking backwards or walking like a cat.

Agility: 36 strides in 20 seconds

Improving your physical agility not only makes you move more freely, but also keeps your brain more flexible. The test method is to draw three lines on the ground with a distance of 1 meter; first stand with both feet across the middle line, then quickly move to the right line and stand across the line, then move to the middle, then to the left line, and finally return to the middle line. This is one round.

Record how many times you can move in 20 seconds. If you can't move more than 36 times, you need to strengthen your agility training. Badminton, table tennis, and basketball are all good ways to do this.

Endurance: 3 km in 28 minutes

Being able to maintain a brisk, powerful pace for a long period of time is a really good measure of physical fitness. According to the Swedish researchers, a healthy 40-year-old man should be able to walk 3 kilometers in 28 minutes, which is equivalent to a normal walking pace of 134 steps per minute.

Another way to test is to walk back and forth at a speed at least three times faster than usual at 50-meter intervals, and calculate how many meters you can walk in 6 minutes. If the test result is less than 400 meters, it is best to strengthen endurance training. Long-distance running and swimming are both good methods.

Arm strength: Able to do 10 push-ups after age 40

Arm strength reflects the muscle strength of the upper limbs. Increasing arm strength can improve physical fitness. Usually, the push-up test is used. During the process, pay attention to pointing your fingers forward, keeping your hands as wide as your shoulders, and keeping your shoulders and elbows at the same level when your body bends your arms and lowers. A 40-year-old male should do at least 10 of these. The easiest way to train arm strength is to lift dumbbells.

Grip strength: at least 40 kg

Grip strength can reflect the overall state of the body. After more than 40 years of follow-up research on nearly 6,000 men, American scientists found that long-lived people usually have stronger grip strength. During the test, spread your feet shoulder-width apart and let your arms hang naturally.

Adjust the hand dynamometer (available in most gyms) to the appropriate grip distance, and then hold the upper and lower handles tightly. Measure twice and take the maximum value. When exerting force, do not swing your arms, squat, or let the hand dynamometer touch your body.

Men over 40 years old are basically qualified only if they have a grip strength of at least 40 kg. Otherwise, they should do some targeted exercises, such as practicing gripping a pressure ball.

Hearing: Can hear 20 decibels in silence

The normal hearing standard for people is to be able to hear sounds within 20 decibels in a relatively quiet environment. A healthy middle-aged man can reach this standard.

Generally speaking, men begin to experience hearing loss between the ages of 60 and 65. If more serious hearing changes occur earlier, it means that pathological changes have occurred in the hearing organs and it is time to go to the hospital for diagnosis.

Leg strength: squat 19 times in 30 seconds

As the saying goes, "The legs age first." If people neglect exercise in middle age, their leg strength will decline.

When practicing, cross your hands in front of your chest, sit on an armless chair, and spread your legs shoulder-width apart; then stand up with your knees fully extended, then sit down, and repeat this process; while ensuring that your waist and knees do not hurt, calculate how many times you can do this within 30 seconds.

Generally speaking, men should be able to reach 19 times. If the number is lower than this, it is best to strengthen the exercise: sit on a chair, straighten your legs, 30 degrees to the ground, straighten your toes for 10 seconds, then lift your toes, and hold for 10 seconds to make your calf muscles feel tense, then put your legs down. Persistent exercise can strengthen leg muscles and improve joint stability.

Psychology: Maintain a positive attitude

The core of the male mental health standard is to respond positively to all events or activities that are beneficial to mental health. Nowadays, it has almost become a common problem for middle-aged men to bear the pressure on themselves and ignore the communication with their loved ones. From now on, spend more time chatting with family members and put aside the worries of work. Men can completely get rid of their sorrow and regain happiness.

Flexibility: Bend down and touch your toes

Good flexibility can enhance body flexibility, prevent premature muscle aging, and delay skin sagging. Stand upright and bend over. Can you touch your toes with your hands? This simple movement can quickly test your body's flexibility. If your hands are much higher than those of your peers, you should pay attention.

In addition, you can also test the flexibility of the upper limbs by crossing your hands behind your back. Raise your right hand upward, over your shoulder, and stretch your left hand upward from your back, trying to reach your hands together; then switch your hands to see if you can still reach together. Use the side that is more difficult as the reference, and see the distance between the middle fingers of both hands.

Blood pressure: Stable at 90-140 mm/Hg

Many people believe that it is normal for men in their 40s and 50s to have slightly higher blood pressure and blood lipids. This is a wrong understanding. In fact, the blood lipid and blood pressure indicators of middle-aged men should be the same as those of healthy people.

The normal diastolic and systolic blood pressure for healthy middle-aged men should be between 90 and 140 (mmHg). Only when they are over 60 years old will the normal blood pressure standard for men increase slightly.

Heart rate: 60-90 beats per minute

If a middle-aged man is out of breath when walking, he should have a heart ultrasound examination even if the electrocardiogram result is normal. The normal male heart rate should be between 60 and 90 beats per minute. Men over 40 years old are recommended to have a routine heart examination once a year.
