7 lines of defense to help men protect their masculine nature

Men seem much stronger than women, but in the face of disease, men's health is more likely to be defeated. According to statistics, between 2012 and 2013, the number of men suffering from various cardiovascular diseases, cancers and other diseases was three times that of women. Many men always think that they are strong and will not fall down easily, but they don't know that their health will gradually fall down in these carelessness. In fact, men have a good physical foundation. As long as they pay attention to 7 details, they will definitely keep their "masculine nature".

The first line of defense to protect men's health: Don't eat fat after 40

Americans call cardiovascular disease a "male disease". They found that most men in their 40s and 50s who are potbellied and smoke carry a diagnosis of cardiovascular disease. To reduce this phenomenon, women must control their husbands' mouths, help men quit smoking, and write a recipe for protecting their hearts. Men love to eat meat and fried foods. Their preference for animal fat will lead to excessive fat, which will precipitate in blood vessels and cause arteriosclerosis and blood clots. To control men's mouths, they should eat more fish, soy products, nuts, oats and garlic, which are all "killers" of cardiovascular disease. In addition, they should eat less salt, eat more fruits, and avoid eating animal viscera and fatty meat after the age of 40.

The second line of defense for men’s health: put a bottle of first aid medicine in your bag

The proportion of sudden death caused by cardiovascular disease is much higher in men than in women. For obese men, smokers, and men who are in a state of fatigue and tension for a long time, sudden heart attacks may occur while playing ball, taking a shower, attending meetings, or eating. Therefore, men over 40 years old, especially those with high risk factors for heart disease, should carry emergency medicine with them to "insure" their hearts. For example, put a bottle of nitroglycerin in your purse or pocket, and also prepare a bottle at the bedside, study, office, bathroom, etc. where you often stay. Once a situation occurs, take out a tablet immediately and hold it under the tongue. If the pain symptoms have not been significantly reduced after taking it, it may be a myocardial infarction and you must go to the hospital immediately.

The third line of defense to protect men's health: drink less strong tea when eating out

Some people say, "There are two reasons why men have stomach problems: either they are angry with their boss or they are angry with their wife." Although it is a joke, if you want to have a healthy stomach, you really need to reduce bad emotions such as anger, tension, and anxiety. In addition, you should not give your fragile stomach too much food stimulation. When men are out socializing, their wives should often remind them: drink less strong tea, strong liquor, and coffee, and eat less raw, cold, and spicy food, so as to reduce gastric acid secretion. Men with bad stomachs should also smoke less, because nicotine in it can also stimulate the gastric mucosa and cause gastric dysfunction.

The fourth line of defense to protect men's health: drink millet porridge in the morning and evening

Men have a higher incidence of stomach problems, especially gastric ulcers and gastric cancer, than women. To help them protect their stomachs, three-point treatment and seven-point care are the most important. Here is a "stomach protection rhyme" for men: eat eight-tenths full at every meal, vegetables and fruits are indispensable, eat more white meat instead of red meat, and drink millet porridge in the morning and evening. In addition, chewing slowly and eating more soft, rotten, and finely processed foods can also reduce the "workload" of the gastrointestinal tract. But glutinous rice is not easy to absorb, so eat less. People with digestive tract ulcers should not drink too much milk.

The fifth line of defense to protect men's health: Eat only 80% full at each meal

After the annual physical examination at the company, many men will see the words "fatty liver" on their physical examination reports. Surveys show that one-quarter of men in their thirties and forties in my country suffer from fatty liver. Fatty liver is mostly caused by alcoholism and overnutrition. As men's careers get bigger and bigger, they eat more and more big meals, and their waistlines increase day by day, which "feeds" fatty liver. To prevent it, there is no "magic medicine". The most important thing is to eat 70% to 80% full at every meal, especially dinner. Don't overeat. Not only should you eat less red meat, fried foods and sweets, and drink less alcohol, you should not eat too much staple food, because steamed bread and rice can also be converted into fat and enter the liver.

Sixth line of defense to protect men's health: jogging three to five times a week

"Running Mom" ​​Chen Yurong got rid of her severe fatty liver by walking 10 kilometers every day. This experience can be a reference for many men. The most effective way to prevent and treat fatty liver is exercise. The amount of exercise can be gradually increased, at least 20 minutes each time, 3-5 times a week, and 5-7 times a week for middle-aged obese people. For men, the most convenient and economical method is: moderate walking of about 120 steps per minute, jogging around the community garden, doing dozens of sit-ups before going to bed, and trying to use bicycles or walking instead of driving or taking a car... Of course, if you can insist on swimming or climbing a mountain once a week, you can consume excess fat in the liver faster.

Seventh line of defense to protect men's health: drink more water and don't hold urine

Many men believe that frequent urination, urgent urination, incomplete urination, blurred vision, tooth loss, and other natural manifestations of aging are nothing to worry about. However, when men over 50 years old have these symptoms, it often means benign prostatic hyperplasia. If you do not seek medical attention and treatment in time, you may experience urinary retention, repeated hematuria, urinary tract infection, and even induce hydronephrosis. To avoid prostate "malfunctions", the best way is to drink more water, 2000-2500 ml per day; do not hold urine; relax more and stay in a good mood; take a warm bath to relieve muscle and prostate tension.

The above is an introduction to the 7 lines of defense that help men protect their health. However, no matter how strong a man's willpower is in maintaining health, he may still have difficulty getting over the "drinking" barrier. Many men think that drinking is healthier, but this is not the case. When you are drunk and your face is flushed, your prostate is also "drunk". The prostate is very sensitive to alcohol, and excessive intake of alcohol will lead to prostate hypertrophy and hyperplasia. Therefore, for the sake of their own health, men should not only follow the above 7 lines of health defense, but also drink less.
