How old can a man marry to avoid premature aging?

Everyone wants to live a healthy and long life. However, most of those who can be called centenarians are women. According to reports, the number of women who live to 85 is more than twice that of men, and the number of women who live to over 90 is three times that of men. Among centenarians, the number of women is four times that of men. According to statistics, the average life expectancy of men worldwide is 77 years old, of which 7 years are spent in serious or chronic diseases, and the probability of men getting cancer is 70% higher than that of women.

Therefore, in recent years, research on men's longevity has yielded many conclusions that can help men live longer and healthier. For example, not smoking, not drinking, having normal blood sugar and blood pressure, not getting fat, and being physically fit. The biggest harm to men's health comes from smoking, drinking, high blood sugar or high blood pressure. Let's take a look at the "Top Ten Secrets to Men's Longevity".

Have sex frequently

A recent Australian study shows that if men have sex every day in the week before ovulation, it can improve sperm quality and increase their wives' pregnancy rates.

British scientists conducted a 10-year follow-up survey on 1,000 men and found that men who had sex twice or more a week had a 50% lower chance of early death than those who had sex once a month or less. Especially those who had high-frequency sex had half the chance of coronary artery disease, such as stroke and cerebral thrombosis, as those who had a lack of sex.

Marry a wife who is 15 years younger than you

A recent study by the Max Planck Institute in Germany found that the age difference between husband and wife is related to the life expectancy of both parties. If the wife is 15 to 17 years younger than the husband, the husband's chance of early death can be reduced by 20%; if she is 7 to 9 years younger, it can be reduced by 11%. On the contrary, men who marry older women are more likely to die early. It can be seen that it is also necessary to marry a younger wife.

Scientists explain that this may be the result of natural selection - only those healthier and more successful "old men" can attract younger women. Another possibility is that young women are better at taking care of men, so he lives longer.

Learn to love and be loved

Women know how to love better than men, which may be the main reason why women live longer than men. Professor Cohen of the Department of Complementary Medicine at the Royal Melbourne University of Technology in Australia said that a life full of love greatly increases the chances of longevity. Love can influence the laws of nature and make people not feel the passage of time.

Dental care can prevent baldness

Scientists from the University of Granada in Spain have found that in addition to being related to genetics and stress, alopecia is also closely related to dental disease, so alopecia patients should see a dentist.

Don't put your wallet behind your butt

Many men have the habit of putting their wallets behind their buttocks. In fact, if you often drive or work at a desk, it is easy to cause lower back pain. Physical therapists call it "wallet neurosis." The wallet will compress the sciatic nerve in the back, causing pain or numbness in the calves and ankles.

Access to higher education

There are not many men who rarely receive higher education, but what is interesting is that 17% of these men are at risk of death before the age of 85, but 62% of those who do not complete higher education still maintain physical and mental health at the age of 85.

Eat apples and less meat every day

Men over 50 are more likely to get bowel cancer than women. The British charity "Fight Bowel Cancer" recommends taking 18 grams of fiber every day. A banana contains 1.8 grams of fiber, and an apple (with skin) contains 4 grams of fiber, which is the most convenient choice. The latest research from Pennsylvania State University in the United States shows that eating less meat can reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease, and help maintain male virility.

Get some sun every day

Men who lack vitamin D may suffer from hair loss, low libido, muscle weakness and joint pain. Sunbathing is the main way for the human body to produce vitamin D. 90% of the vitamin D in the human body is produced by the sun shining on the skin, while a small amount of vitamin D can be ingested through fish, eggs, cereals, etc. Proper sunbathing is the secret to staying young.

Backhand brushing

Brushing your teeth or holding a cup with your unused hand can help your brain generate new memory cells, thus preventing Alzheimer's disease.

Slightly plump

Health experts have long warned that obesity is bad for human health, but a recent study found that being too thin is not good for the health of middle-aged and elderly people. Thin people (BMI index less than 18.5) have the shortest average life expectancy, while slightly fat people (BMI index between 25-30) have the longest life expectancy. The study found that when men reach the age of 40, slightly fat people live 6 to 7 years longer than slim people, and very thin people have an average life expectancy of about 5 years shorter than obese people.
