What to do if male sex hormones are low? Five tips to treat it

When men are over 40, there is a high probability that they will experience the same adverse symptoms as women during menopause. This type of symptoms is also known as male menopause syndrome. The main reason for this situation is whether the secretion of male sex hormones is normal. So, what should men do if their sex hormones are low?

1. Life routine

Pay attention to arranging work and life, and have a regular daily routine. Whether it is eating, sleeping, or activities, there must be regularity, eat in moderation, work and rest regularly, combine work and rest, and ensure sleep time. Going to bed at 9-10 o'clock in the evening is conducive to the body's secretion of useful hormones around midnight. Physical and mental labor should not be too heavy, nor should it be too idle, and work and rest should be combined. Facts show that developing a regular and scientific lifestyle can not only eliminate various symptoms caused by menopause, but also be of great benefit to the prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, etc.

2. Diet adjustment

The dietary structure should be based on the principle of low salt, light, moderate combination of meat and vegetables, and avoid spicy and other irritating foods. To ensure a reasonable diet and balanced nutrition, eat coarse grains, miscellaneous grains, vegetables, fruits, moderate protein, low salt and low fat.

Eating more foods that improve and increase gonadal function can alleviate the symptoms of menopause, such as sea cucumbers, fish maws, loaches, shrimps, mutton, lamb kidneys, sparrows, walnuts, sesame seeds, animal offal, etc.

Eat more foods that help improve the nervous system and heart functions, such as pig heart, sheep kidney, yam, walnut kernel, jujube, longan, mulberry, Poria cake, oatmeal, longan, etc., to achieve the effects of calming the mind, tranquilizing the heart, and reducing the discomfort of the nervous system and cardiovascular system.

Many nutrients (especially vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin C, trace elements zinc and selenium) are related to the synthesis and secretion of male hormones in the human body. By supplementing these nutrients, menopausal symptoms can be alleviated and the quality of life can be improved.

Men in menopause should consume more seafood rich in iodine and unsaturated fatty acids, such as seaweed, kelp, seaweed, etc. Regular consumption can not only promote metabolism and help lose weight, but also effectively lower blood pressure and blood lipids.

3. Maintain a positive and optimistic attitude

"Worry hurts the body, happiness prolongs life". Life emotions play a key role in human health. Continuous psychological tension will cause mental fatigue, reduce work efficiency, weaken immune function, and easily cause diseases. Therefore, pay attention to "actively rest" before you are tired, so that the body can "recharge" before working. Treat stress well, regard stress as an inseparable part of life, learn to reduce stress appropriately, maintain a balanced mentality, a calm mind, and a stable mood, be content with what you have, help others for fun, and enjoy yourself, so as to ensure a healthy and good mood.

4. Increase outdoor exercise activities.

Aerobic exercise can strengthen the body and improve disease resistance. Appropriate exercise is an important way to maintain the coordination of mental and physical strength, prevent and eliminate fatigue, prevent sub-health, and prolong life. Walking, jogging, Qigong, and Tai Chi are relatively suitable exercises.

5. The “10 less, 10 more” principle

Dr. John Rice, a famous American health expert, designed the "10 less, 10 more" principle for men aged 40: one less hour of worry, one more hour of laughter; one less lunch meeting, one more time of relaxation; one less week of stressful life, one more time of rest; fewer social gatherings, more time reading interesting books; fewer banquets, more dinners with family; less time under the lights, more time in the sun; less time in the car, more walking; one less hour of work, one more hour of going to the hospital for a physical examination.
