Thirteen differences between men and women that you would never guess!

Normally, we always think that women and men are the same. In fact, there are 13 differences between men and women. You might as well take a look.

Sleep Difference

Women are nearly 20% more likely to suffer from insomnia than men. Scientists from the National Sleep Foundation studied the sleeping habits of more than 2,000 volunteers and found that nearly 70% of female volunteers often had sleeping problems. They said they had 1 to 3 sleep disorders per week, while only 52% of male volunteers said they had insomnia for 1 week or more. This may be caused by emotions. Women worry more. At the same time, menstruation, pregnancy and menopause can also disrupt normal sleep.

Controlling emotional differences

Men and women have similar brains, but the parts that control emotions are somewhat different. Men and women express emotions in different ways: men tend to act out their emotions when they are emotionally impulsive, while women tend to express their emotions. Women are better at speaking and use more words than men. When smiling, women look at the other person more often than men.

Brain cell differences

Men have an average of 23 billion brain cells, while women have an average of 19 billion brain cells (there is no direct correlation between intelligence and the number of brain cells). Women's brains are 150 grams lighter than men's on average, while men's brains are 30% heavier than women's. Men have 16% more brain cells than women on average.

Strong difference

Men consume 30% to 40% more energy than women, and their metabolism is 5% to 7% faster than women. Women have more subcutaneous fat than men and are more resistant to hunger and cold than men. Therefore, they have a natural advantage in defending against diseases. Men are not as resistant to diseases as women.

Cold sensitivity

Women have less fat on the upper part of their bodies, with most of their fat on their hips and thighs, while men have all their excess fat on their waists and upper torsos, which keeps important organs warm and prevents a drop in body temperature.

Brain Differences

Men are good at spatial processing, while women are more responsive. Men are better at mathematical reasoning, while women excel in language and arithmetic.

Young Difference

Men's skin is 10% thicker than women's skin. Men's skin is rich in collagen, fat and fatty secretions, which can moisturize the skin. Men's skin does not age as obviously as women's skin after menopause.

Social skills differences

Women are born with better social and life skills than men. The X chromosome from the mother carries the gene responsible for social behavior, and this gene can only be activated after combining with the X chromosome from the father. That is, it can only be activated in women.

Difference in analgesic response

The degree of pain relief after taking painkillers is different for men and women. For the same disease, the same surgery, and the same medication, women have better results than men. Men's pain lasts shorter than women's.

Heart Difference

Men are more likely to have heart disease than women, but women are more at risk of being affected by a heart attack. This is because women do not always experience obvious symptoms like men, such as chest pain. Instead, women are more likely to experience symptoms that are easy to ignore, such as shortness of breath, fatigue, dizziness or jaw pain.

Smell difference

For women, the smell of an ugly man is more attractive than that of a muscular man, while for men, the smell of a woman who is attractive in appearance is also the most attractive. The more attractive a man's appearance is, the less attractive his smell is.

Lung Differences

Women who smoke are more likely to develop lung diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, than men who smoke, but overall, men are more likely to develop chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, with 2% of men suffering from the disease compared to 1% of women.

Hearing ability

Difference: Men's hearing loss is twice as fast as women's, especially men aged 30 to 80 compared with women of the same age.

Men's Health

■ Get rid of bad eating habits

Smoking and drinking, which are harmful to health and "sex", should be strictly controlled or given up. At the same time, the proportion of meat, vegetables, fruits and nuts in the diet should be appropriately increased, as they can enhance people's sexual desire, increase trace elements, and are beneficial to human health.

■Control weight gain

In modern society, people no longer have to worry about food and clothing, and the frequency of "fat people" due to excessive eating has increased significantly. Excessive obesity makes the human body bear too heavy a burden, and it may not be able to bear the burden. In addition, obesity is also prone to induce many diseases, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, etc.

■ Choose appropriate sports and do appropriate sports activities

When people reach middle age, their physical strength and energy are declining. They are easily tired, lazy, greedy for a comfortable life, and obsessed with leisure at work. Physical exercise such as walking, jogging, climbing stairs, etc. can enhance physical fitness and general disease resistance, and can consume excess energy and maintain weight stability. However, overly intense exercise and certain riding sports, such as intense competitive sports and long-term cycling, are harmful and should be avoided as much as possible.

■ Good at managing your emotions

Middle-aged people have many family matters and heavy work tasks, and their emotions are easily volatile. When people are angry, their emotions change drastically, the sympathetic nerves are extremely excited, adrenaline secretion increases, the heart rate speeds up, blood pressure rises, blood circulation in the body is disturbed, and the normal physiological functions of various organs are disturbed, which can easily induce gastrointestinal ulcers, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, etc. We should be indifferent to fame and fortune, and do not work too hard or compete too much for money, fame, fortune, and status. Bad emotions will not only lead to various diseases, but also affect family relationships.

■Middle-aged men should cultivate their character

A harmonious and satisfying sex life is beneficial to the body's spiritual happiness, health and longevity. Therefore, it is recommended to constantly strengthen the relationship between husband and wife in daily life, pay attention to the rationality and moderation of sex life, and avoid being absent-minded during sex; when physical strength and energy are not good, never force yourself to have sex; appropriately reduce the number of sex life so that sexual energy can be stored to a certain extent; for those with hypogonadism, a small amount of androgen can be supplemented for a short period of time to enhance sexual function, but it must be done under the guidance of a specialist. In addition, extramarital sex and promiscuity should be avoided to avoid being troubled by sexually transmitted diseases.

Women's health care methods

Blood-based

Women with abundant blood and essence will look young and healthy. In a woman's life, there are four stages: menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding. Menstruation, pregnancy and childbirth are all related to blood, so it is said that women are based on blood. "Keep a portion of blood and essence, retain a portion of youth." Women with sufficient blood and essence will have fair and rosy skin, good elasticity and no wrinkles. On the contrary, they will have a sallow complexion, dark spots, chloasma, or a series of problems such as dizziness, fatigue, palpitations and insomnia, and diseases such as menstrual disorders and limb paralysis will arise from this.

Kidney as the root

The second physical characteristic of women is that they are rooted in the kidneys. Women’s reproductive function is strongest between the ages of 21 and 30. Starting at the age of 35, the ovarian reserve function declines. At the age of 37, the follicles close faster, and at the age of 40, the ovarian function begins to decline. Women need to pay attention to kidney qi and replenish qi and blood at every age in their lives. The kidneys dominate the entire process of female growth, development, reproduction, and aging. Kidney qi and qi and blood must be replenished. Women with insufficient kidney qi have a dark complexion, dark eye sockets, back pain, dizziness, tinnitus, and especially heel pain. Women with kidney deficiency have poor development of the uterus and breasts, resulting in infertility. When women’s kidney qi is strongest, their reproductive function is also strongest.

Mood swings

It is a physiological characteristic of women to have changeable emotions. When menstruation comes, due to endocrine changes, some changes will occur, so anger, worry, worry, and fear will appear. But if this changeability affects life or work, it needs to be adjusted. Traditional Chinese medicine says "joy and sadness", if the emotional changes are too big, it will cause illness.
