In the early middle age, physically, the human body has reached a perfect stage of growth and development, with vigorous qi and blood, strong bones and muscles, and full muscle strength, so it is said that "forty is stronger." However, as Lao Tzu said, "the strong things make the old", being strong means the beginning of weakness. Especially in the late middle age, the function of the human body obviously changed from prosperity to decline, and diseases began to breed. Correspondingly, middle age also has some different requirements for health care. Don't be too strong on the surface, too trusting and relying on your own resistance, ignoring health care, ignoring minor illnesses, and paying attention to one thing and losing another.
The way of health preservation for middle-aged people
The principles of health care for middle-aged people are: regular life, proper diet, no rashness, abstinence, avoiding evil and preventing diseases, and indifference to emptiness. Specifically, we should start from the following aspects:
To establish a healthy lifestyle, middle-aged people should reasonably arrange the pace of life, ensure adequate sleep and moderate sexual life, learn to rest and adjust in the busy and tense situation, and combine work and rest to prevent overwork. Actively participate in various cultural and sports activities, so that the content of life is rich and colorful. Do not smoke or drink, and develop good hygiene habits.
Ensuring reasonable nutritional requirements and reasonable dietary nutrition is the material basis for maintaining the health of middle-aged people, and good eating habits are conducive to preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and cancer. Dietary content should be diversified, and there should be enough protein intake every day to achieve a balanced nutrition. Appropriately increase vitamins and calcium, phosphorus, zinc, iron, etc. Eat more nutritious food, such as fish, milk, beans, fresh vegetables and fruits. The appetite should be properly controlled according to physical exertion, eat less food with high salt and cholesterol, and control sweets properly.
Self-control Emotion The highest realm of TCM is health care, and the highest realm of health care is nourishing the heart. To cultivate one's mind and cultivate one's nature, one must learn to adjust oneself psychologically, dispel melancholy and adjust one's mood. Emotion is the fuse of many diseases, which has obvious influence on middle-aged health. We should learn to control and transfer emotions. Correctly treat the psychological conflict that has happened, cultivate a stable and optimistic mood, find spiritual support in the cause, and change the impatient, aggressive and impulsive personality.
To treat patients with diseases correctly, people in middle age must have a general understanding of their health and master some knowledge of disease prevention and treatment. If you feel unwell or abnormal, you should go to the hospital for examination in time. Conditional people should also insist on regular physical examination.

When men are 50-60 years old, menopausal symptoms, such as fatigue, irritability, depression, headache, insomnia, sexual dysfunction and so on. It can also occur due to dysfunction of testicular atrophy and pituitary gland, and decrease of androgen secretion in adrenal cortex.
