Men have shorter lifespans than women. If you do these, men will live longer than women.

The World Health Organization points out that the average life expectancy of men worldwide is 77 years, of which the last 7 years are spent with serious illness or chronic disease. The cancer rate of men is 70% higher than that of women, and their life expectancy is 5-7 years lower than that of women. So, how can we help men prolong their life expectancy? Please grasp the following 6 key points:

1. Protect your cardiovascular system. Eating less meat, especially red meat, can reduce the risk of heart disease by 29%. Red meat generally refers to pork, beef, and mutton. These meats contain a lot of saturated fat. If you eat too much, it will accumulate in the blood vessel walls, causing arteriosclerosis and leading to cardiovascular disease. In particular, you should eat less steak, which is the culprit that damages the inner wall of arteries. A study shows that long-term consumption of red meat (beef, mutton) and processed meat may also increase the risk of rectal cancer and colon cancer.

2. Take good care of your liver. Drinking less alcohol, including beer, can reduce the risk of liver disease by 85%. If you drink about 750 ml of beer every day for 10 years, you will inevitably suffer from hepatitis and fatty liver. Many men like to drink iced beer in the summer to cool off. After a summer of heavy drinking (3 months), the liver needs 10 months to repair itself.

3. Protect the prostate. Studies have shown that excessive intake of fatty foods will increase the risk of prostate disease, while a diet rich in soy protein will reduce its incidence. Some experts suggest that drinking 4-8 glasses of red wine a week can reduce the incidence of prostate cancer by half, because the skin of red grapes is rich in resveratrol, which can inhibit the growth of cancer cells. In addition, regular moderate exercise, especially walking or jogging, is very beneficial for inhibiting prostate disease.

4. Clean the kidneys. The kidneys are filters in the human body. Many wastes in the body are filtered and excreted by the kidneys. Therefore, the burden on the kidneys is heavy. It is necessary to keep the kidneys clean and moisturized at all times. According to the British Kidney Research Center, if you drink at least 2000 ml of water every day, the risk of kidney disease will be reduced by 80%; eating some honey every day can reduce the risk of kidney disease by 18%.

5. Reduce damage to the lungs. Smoke is the most harmful to the lungs, so you must avoid smoking. To nourish the lungs, drink more lung-moistening soup and tea, and eat more kiwis, carrots, red peppers, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, spinach, olives, seaweed, pears, melons, apricots, peaches, mangoes, etc., which are good for nourishing the lungs. An American doctor suggested that eating a kiwi a day can reduce the risk of lung cancer by 36%; taking 120 mg of vitamin C preparations a day can reduce the damage caused by air pollution to the lungs by half; eating nuts regularly can reduce the risk of lung cancer by 48%.

6. Take care of your colon. Many men living in cities are getting less and less exercise, which leads to a higher rate of colon cancer. The key to preventing colon cancer is exercise, and walking is worse than a hundred exercises. Hiking can reduce the risk of colon cancer by 28%. According to the research of the Human Nutrition Research Center of the United States, a certain amount of aerobic exercise every day, especially jogging, can prevent stool from staying in the body for too long, thereby reducing the risk of colon cancer. Strong intestinal function will make people's lungs breathe more easily and smoothly, and their body shape will become more perfect.
