50 is a "troublesome period" for men's body. Have you noticed?

As the saying goes, "At fifty, one knows one's destiny." For men, 50 is the "troublesome time" for their physical condition. Various diseases may occur at this stage. Like women, this stage belongs to the "male menopause," and minor troubles such as fatigue, memory loss, insomnia, and decreased libido follow one after another. Professor Zhang Hude of the Health Care Department of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine pointed out that after the age of 50, men's bodies begin to "go downhill," and they should pay more attention to regulating their diet, exercise, and other aspects to prolong their life.

Usually, walk fast and do gentle exercises. Compared with men in their 30s and 40s, men in their 50s no longer have high requirements for explosive power. As you age, your muscle level will decline. When exercising, you should choose some aerobic exercises, such as brisk walking and jogging, according to your specific situation. People in their 50s should also increase their body balance exercises, such as riding a bicycle. Exercise should be guaranteed 3-5 times a week, and each exercise time should be no less than 30 minutes.

Slow digestion and metabolism, light diet: Men in their 50s should control their food intake, because metabolism and organ function will become slow at this age, and various internal organs will show signs of aging. It is recommended to eat a low-fat diet, eat less fried food, try not to choose high-cholesterol foods, and eat less animal offal and various egg yolks.

Quitting smoking, drinking, and eating less sweets is the key. Men in their 50s will have various endocrine diseases, so first of all, they should quit smoking, drinking, and eating less sweets to reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Secondly, pay special attention to the regularity of work and rest and maintain a peaceful state of mind. If you are nervous, you can relax your nervous nerves through some relaxation therapies, such as listening to music and ensuring adequate sleep.

Frequent urination and thin urine are both diseases, so pay attention to the prostate. Bao Shentao, chief physician of the Department of Urology at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, pointed out that the prostate of middle-aged men often proliferates or hypertrophies, which manifests as increased urination at night, frequent urination, urgency, weak urine flow, and a feeling of incomplete urination. To prevent this disease, you should avoid drinking a lot of alcohol, eat less spicy food and fast food, keep warm, and avoid sitting for a long time and holding urine.

Have a physical examination every year to detect diseases early. Men around 50 years old should pay special attention to the following items during physical examination: first, prostate examination, second, anal digital examination, and third, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular examination. Also pay attention to the examination of fatty liver and intraocular pressure.

How to maintain health for a fifty-year-old man:

Sports

1. Arrange the exercise items and intensity reasonably. Do not do high-intensity exercises such as push-ups and vertical jumps. Focus on strengthening the exercises that improve endurance, strength, flexibility, and balance. Brisk walking, jogging, ergometers, treadmills, dumbbells, sandbags, and Tai Chi are all good, but remember to stretch your ligaments, press your legs, and stretch your shoulder joints before exercising.

2. Strengthen physical exercise and participate in more outdoor activities, such as mountain climbing, brisk walking, Tai Chi, cycling, etc. These all help to inhale fresh oxygen, promote metabolism of internal organs, increase oxygen supply to organs, and enhance lung function.

3. Men around 50 years old should exercise 3 to 5 times a week, and each exercise should last no less than 30 minutes. Swimming is a very good sport for men over 50 to improve their cardiopulmonary function and overall physical fitness.

Diet

1. It is recommended to drink some green tea every day, which is very good for relaxing the nerves.

2. It is recommended to eat a low-fat diet, eat less fried food, try not to choose high-cholesterol food, and eat less animal offal and various egg yolks.

3. Eat less sugar, because white sugar, brown sugar and refined sugar can increase triglycerides. However, honey is ok.

4. Eat more coarse grains as staple food, increase the intake of foods rich in dietary fiber, and eat more vegetables and fruits to increase intestinal motility and reduce the risk of constipation and colon cancer.

5. Eat more fish, because fish not only has low fat content but also high protein content.

6. Eat more soy products and less pork, beef and mutton, because animal meat contains a lot of saturated fatty acids.

7. Drink 1 to 2 glasses of red wine every day, because red wine contains antioxidants that can promote the excretion of toxic substances and improve blood circulation.

8. Although fruits can supplement the vitamins needed by the human body, eating too much fruit can also bring some side effects, especially very sweet grapes, sugar cane, pears, etc., which must not be eaten too much. Because the sugar contained in these fruits is not glucose, but fructose and sucrose, which can cause diabetic ketoacidosis and diabetic ketoacidosis.

9. Avoid drinking large amounts of alcohol, as alcohol can stimulate muscle contraction, causing difficulty in urination and increased nocturia.

10. Eat less spicy food and fast food. Spicy food can cause frequent urination, while fried fast food such as McDonald's and KFC are inducements of prostate cancer.
