Men’s worries: Why are they so bad-tempered and easily angered?

Why do men have bad tempers? Everyone has a bad temper. Men who often have bad tempers will not only affect their families, but also cause great harm to themselves. People with bad tempers always give others a bad feeling physically, psychologically, and in life. How should men change their bad tempers?

1. Lack of sleep

About 50% of bad-tempered bosses are caused by lack of sleep. They will yell at colleagues and ruthlessly reprimand subordinates because of fatigue caused by lack of sleep. The same is true for ordinary employees. Because of lack of sleep, 39% of them will be irritable and 19% of them will easily make mistakes at work.

If you don't sleep for two days and two nights, your brain will restart and shift the control center from the usual "calm and rational" control area to the "emergency state" control area. This control area switches people's behavior mode to a more intuitive "fight and flight" mode, causing their temper to become irritable.

2. Low androgen

The secretion of male hormones is the most vigorous in the 20s and 30s, and then gradually decreases. In the 40 years between the ages of 20 and 60, the secretion of male hormones decreases by 1/4. When male hormones decrease, men also have menopausal problems. Mood swings, irritability and loneliness are the most common menopausal symptoms.

3. Eating too much meat

The animal protein in meat can reduce the tryptophan content in the brain, causing people to become irritable, aggressive, and combative.

The large amount of saturated fatty acids contained in meat can increase blood pressure, which is an important cause of emotional instability.

Meat can cause the calcium ion content in the blood to decrease. Calcium in the blood can be a mood cooler. The reduction of calcium ions increases the tendency to be irritable and angry.

4. Junk fast food

Studies have found that eating French fries and chicken burgers can make men bad-tempered and violent. This is because people who eat junk food for a long time will lack omega-3 fatty acids in their brains, which will make the brain lose its flexibility and damage its ability to control emotions, leading to an increase in violent tendencies.

5. Skipping breakfast

A US study found that skipping breakfast can cause men's mood and visual-spatial memory to deteriorate, but has no effect on women. Scientists believe this is related to the poor energy supply to the brain caused by skipping breakfast.

6. Too much pressure

Stress is the most important factor that causes men to have bad tempers. When men are under stress, they will be in a state of fighting, and there will be more catecholamines in the body, which will increase the fighting power of the man. Too much catecholamine will cause an increase in toxins in the blood, thereby damaging liver cells. This is what Chinese medicine calls anger hurting the liver.
