A man who is a “high pressure cooker” will never live past 60

The life expectancy gap between men and women is getting bigger and bigger. The latest statistics show that in the 1970s, men lived one year less than women; in the 1980s, men lived two years less than women; and in the 1990s, men lived four years less than women. If this trend continues, men will soon have no "way out".

In a keynote speech entitled "A Healthy and Happy 100 Years Old," cardiovascular expert Hong Zhaoguang summarized the main problems for men: men don't shed tears easily, men don't like to talk, and men don't see doctors when they are sick.

You can’t handle all the problems by yourself

Professor Hong introduced that some men are usually very stubborn and think that they can show their "heroic qualities" only if they can stand on their own. A 42-year-old billionaire who runs a real estate company, thin and small, said: "Doctor Hong, don't look at me because I am thin and small, I am very strong. Real estate is not easy to do, and I have suffered a lot of hardships and grievances! But I told my wife that you don't have to worry about anything, I will hold up the sky if it falls." Now he has a myocardial infarction due to "holding up", and he dares not to "hold up" again.

However, another group of men just drag their feet on their illness, holding on, and pretending to be strong, "It's okay, I'll get over it if I push myself up." They only go to see a doctor when they are really in bad shape, but it's too late.

The National Bureau of Statistics has a number that for the same disease, the number of men who go to see a doctor is 40% less than that of women. There was a wealthy man who had a heart attack during a company board meeting. He didn't say anything and endured it. When he couldn't bear it anymore, he secretly massaged it with his hands. It didn't work, so he drank hot water. In the end, it became more and more severe. He broke out in cold sweats and his face turned pale. Others saw that he was in trouble and rushed him to the hospital. The diagnosis was myocardial infarction, and a shot of 15,000 yuan of medicine was ineffective. If he had gone to the hospital earlier, the consequences might have been very different.

It's not a sin for men to cry

Professor Hong Zhaoguang pointed out that the pressure of society is gradually increasing, and the burdens on men are getting heavier. However, many characteristics of women have contributed to longevity to a certain extent. Women can cry when they are upset, but men are regarded as trash and waste when they cry. Therefore, "men" don't like to talk, don't like to talk about their sufferings, don't shed tears easily, and swallow all their sufferings, and at the same time swallow their own health.

In fact, depression and hardship cannot be "held back". When you feel bad, no matter how good things are, they will no longer be beautiful. Just cry when you want to. Crying is the best way to vent. Crying may not make you 10 years younger, but at least it can relieve stress.

Prescription for stubborn men

Professor Hong wrote a prescription for everyone: one center, two key points, three styles, and four principles.

He pointed out that "one" is to take health as the "center"; "two" is to be a little confused and a little carefree; "three styles" is to always help others, be content with what you have, and enjoy yourself; "four principles" are that the best doctor is yourself, the best medicine is time, the best mood is tranquility, and the best exercise is walking.
