Men's health must be measured by this new standard

More than a dozen health experts in the United States say that if a man can achieve five of these eight points, he would be qualified to be called a "truly healthy" man.

1. Have higher levels of high-density lipoprotein

Every year, about 356,000 men die of heart disease worldwide. "If there is enough HDL (high-density lipoprotein) in the blood, there is basically no need to worry," said Dr. Eckert, a cardiovascular expert. To increase the HDL level in the body, you need to do moderate intensity exercise at least 4 times a week, 20 minutes each time. The HDL in the blood of a normal person is about 40 mg/dL, and it is best to reach twice that number.

2. Have two close friends

These two buddies cannot be his current colleagues, neighbors, fitness coaches, etc. In short, they cannot be anyone who appears regularly in his life. Psychologist Dr. Sheridan believes that if a man over 35 meets this standard, it means that he has healthy social connections and he will live longer than 2/3 of men.

3. Answer “yes” to the following two questions

"Do you look forward to going to work every morning?" "Do you look forward to going home every afternoon?" After 30 years of practical research, Dr. Grayborn found that people who answered yes had a very low risk of dying from heart disease.

4. Prostate-specific antigen value is less than 2.5 ng/ml

Prostate cancer expert Dr. Hetrona pointed out that this indicator showed that his risk of prostate cancer was relatively low.

5. Ejaculation ability

After a very enjoyable sex, his ejaculation volume should reach 5 ml. Dr. Hetrona believes that this is the most direct manifestation of prostate health. A simple measurement method is to measure 5 ml of water, pour it into a clean condom, remember the position of the water, and you can estimate the ejaculation volume next time.

6. Able to walk 3 km in 28 minutes

Being able to maintain a brisk, powerful stride for a long period of time is a really good measure of physical fitness. According to the Swedish researchers, a healthy 40-year-old man should be able to walk 3 kilometers in 28 minutes, which is equivalent to a normal walking pace of 134 steps per minute.

7. Balanced muscle strength

Most men are keen on making their muscles do excessive external push-ups, such as push-ups, while there are relatively few men who truly have balanced strength. Ideally, the strength ratio of his biceps and triceps should be 1:1, that is, if he can pull a 25kg puller 10 times, he should be able to push a 25kg pusher 10 times; the strength ratio of his quadriceps and hamstrings should be 3:2, that is, if he can lift his legs 10 times with a weight of 30kg, he can use his legs to press down a 20kg weight exactly 10 times.

8. A well-proportioned head

Clinically, the best facial width is 60% of the length. Men with this standard head are not only handsome, but also have good immunity to respiratory, mandibular and dental diseases.
