Four bad eating habits that shorten men's lifespan

Compared to female friends, male friends are more casual in their lives, especially in terms of diet. They think that women's eating habits are too particular, and some are almost rigid. But American doctor Sally Squires pointed out in the book "Eat Like a Woman" that it is precisely these "particular eating habits" that make women live healthier than men. "Men always eat whatever they want, and their meal times are irregular, which invisibly increases the possibility of causing heart disease, high blood pressure and other diseases. If men are willing to learn the eating habits of women, they will be much healthier."

Men's carelessness and irregularity in their diet can easily lead to bad eating habits, which in turn poses a great threat to their health. According to authoritative statistics from many countries, the average life expectancy of men is 5-10 years shorter than that of women, which is related to men's eating habits.

Many male friends are always careless about their daily diet, and they are unaware that they have developed bad eating habits. This is very dangerous. If this continues for a long time, they will suffer from a variety of diseases and regret it. Nutrition and health experts point out that men have four major bad eating habits. See if these bad habits are also with you?

Bad eating habit 1: Can’t live without meat

Almost all men prefer animal fat. But in fact, red meat like steak may increase the risk of cancer. From a global perspective, countries with high red meat consumption also have high rates of prostate cancer. "But not all meat is inedible," Sally pointed out in the book. White meat (fish, chicken, etc.) has anti-cancer effects. Eating fish 2-4 times a week can reduce the risk of colon cancer by 50%.

Bad eating habit 2: Can’t be happy without alcohol

In China, men drink mostly for socializing. "Everyone knows that drinking is bad, but these days, you can't get anything done in business without drinking. I drink until I pass out almost every day," said Xiaolu, who works in sales at a company. Regardless of the reason for drinking, according to statistics from American experts, the average life expectancy of alcoholics is about 15 years shorter than that of non-drinkers.

Bad eating habit 3: Drinking cola frequently

Drinking a lot of cola every day can cause muscle diseases, arrhythmias and even paralysis. People who drink 2 to 10 liters of cola every day will have too little potassium in the blood. The patient will show symptoms such as mild weakness and constipation, and even paralysis in severe cases.

Health experts say that people who drink cola for a long time should pay more attention to their muscle condition. Drinking too much cola can damage teeth, because the phosphoric acid and carbon dioxide in cola will form carbonic acid after dissolving, which corrodes tooth enamel. Cola has a high sugar content, and drinking it for a long time will make you fat. Cola can cause osteoporosis, and the phosphoric acid in cola may be the reason for the increase in fracture rate, because a large amount of phosphorus will affect the body's absorption of calcium. The phosphoric acid in cola is a strong acid, which will bring a certain burden to the stomach. Long-term drinking can easily cause gastric ulcers. In addition, drinking too much cola can easily cause esophageal cancer.

Bad eating habit 4: Overeating at meals

Unlike women, most men are not interested in snacks. This is not a good thing, but unfortunately, men always eat every meal to the fullest.

This will not only make them gain weight easily, but also increase cholesterol. It will be healthier if they can maintain 80% fullness and eat foods rich in dietary fiber such as fruits and vegetables.
