Health investments that men must make when they are young

For young people in their 20s, health investment may only involve taking a few deep breaths every day, but if you can really stick to it, you can slow down the rate of decline in lung capacity. Men’s lung capacity at the age of 70 is only one-third of that at the age of 20, which is a decrease of 60% to 70%. However, if you start investing in health at the age of 19, it will only decrease by about 20% at the age of 70. It can be seen that if men want to keep fit for life and be a perfect man, they should not be stingy with health investment.

Men aged 19 to 40 are energetic, have strong sexual desire and are generally in good health, but many of them have bad habits such as smoking, drinking and staying up late. Aging actually starts at the age of 20. Professor Huang Jianshi, assistant dean of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and dean of the School of Continuing Education of China Union Medical College, told reporters that the health investment of young people in their 20s may only be a few deep breaths a day, but if you can really stick to it, you can slow down the decline of lung capacity. The lung capacity of men at the age of 70 is only one-third of that at the age of 20, which is a decrease of 60% to 70%. However, if you start investing in health at the age of 19, it will only decrease by about 20% at the age of 70.

Men's skin starts to become loose and wrinkles start to appear at the corners of their eyes at the age of 30, but if you wear sunglasses and a hat and keep your skin moisturized when you are in the sun, you can delay skin aging. Some people think that it is normal for hearing to decline with age, but this is not the case. Men's hearing does begin to decline at the age of 30. If you stay away from noise and don't turn up the volume too high when listening to music or watching TV, you can still maintain good hearing even in old age.

From puberty, the low-density cholesterol that is harmful to men's bodies begins to increase, and from the age of 30, the high-density cholesterol that is beneficial to the body also begins to decrease. Exercise not only improves the overall quality of the body, but is also very beneficial for increasing high-density cholesterol. Eating less high-fat foods can resist low-density cholesterol. Men's kidney function decreases by 1% every year after the age of 30. If you drink 8 to 10 glasses of water a day, you can keep your kidneys functioning well.

What else should men aged 19 to 40 invest in? Professor Huang listed 10 key points:

1. Continue to maintain the good health habits developed during adolescence.

2. Keep exercising.

3. Don’t smoke.

4. Drink less alcohol.

5. Observe traffic safety rules when driving.

6. Protect your skin from sun exposure.
