What health taboos do middle-aged people have?
When people reach middle age, the afternoon passes. Although middle age is the most glorious moment in life, the body has unconsciously declined. Many so-called geriatric diseases only occur in old age, mostly in middle age, but the early symptoms are not obvious and are ignored.
In particular, many chronic diseases, such as coronary heart disease and diabetes, often develop in a latent form. Many middle-aged people are busy with work, lack the necessary health care knowledge, and easily ignore their own illness; Some people do not pay attention to their health, still smoke and drink a lot, and do not pay attention to nutrition and exercise. Once excessive, the resistance is reduced, and hidden dangers may surprise. Therefore, middle age has become the focus of health care. Middle-aged people belong to a special group In order to ensure good health, we must pay attention to health preservation in our daily life. To do a good job of health care for middle-aged people, we must first have a correct concept of health care, so as to achieve the purpose of scientific health care and physical fitness.
1, avoid labor
Middle-aged people shoulder the burden of work and family, but the external pressure that the human body can bear is limited. If you exceed a certain limit, you will break down from constant overwork. Therefore, middle-aged people should remember: don't overwork.
2. Taboo
When people reach middle age, in order to avoid aging before they get old, they can only be affectionate and not lascivious. Excessive sexual intercourse will damage the spirit and life and affect health. Some middle-aged people rely on "aphrodisiacs" in order to indulge in excessive pleasure, which is tantamount to self-harm.
3. Avoid anger
All diseases are born of qi, and if qi is not harmonious, it will easily evolve into a harmful factor causing disease. Therefore, middle-aged people must not easily get angry and lose their temper. Remember: "If you complain too much, keep an eye on it."
4. Avoid worrying
Middle-aged people tend to be sentimental because of work or family, which can easily lead to aging. To this end, middle-aged people should learn to solve problems, treat them calmly and don't worry easily.
5. Avoid jealousy
Teenagers have bones, young people have meat, and middle-aged people are fat. This is the law of human growth and development. In order to prevent obesity, middle-aged people should pay special attention to eating less high-fat and high-sugar foods besides regular exercise. At the same time, don't eat too much for dinner, and it is generally appropriate to be 50% full.
6. Avoid laziness
As the saying goes, "trees get old first, people get old first." When people reach middle age, they often feel heavy legs, backache and leg pain, and they don't like sports. This shows that aging has quietly arrived. Therefore, middle-aged people should avoid being lazy and often engage in physical activities according to their own health and work conditions. Doing some housework properly is also a good exercise.
7. Avoid alcohol
Some middle-aged people often drink too much, and if they don't drink for a day, they won't want to eat. As we all know, excessive drinking will damage liver function and affect the health of kidney, spleen and digestive system. To this end, middle-aged people had better give up drinking, and when they have to drink, they should drink some low-alcohol wine, or use tea and fruit juice instead of wine.
What diseases should men and women guard against in middle age?
Men's products
Eating too much meat leads to three highs. According to the research report of the American Heart Research Council, at least 1 10,000 new heart patients are added every year, mostly because they eat too much meat. And men over 40 have caused many deaths. About half of middle-aged men have bad eating habits. They often skip breakfast, eat casually at lunch and eat hard at dinner. Excessive greasy at night will lead to hoarding, which is more likely to cause obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypertension and other problems. Control the time of each meal within 40 minutes, consciously increase the intake of vegetables, beans and staple foods, avoid red meat and red wine, and ensure that you eat at home at least half the time every week.
Neglecting stress can easily lead to mental illness. Although the suicide rate of women is three times that of men, the suicide success rate of men is higher. Data show that in 2009, 79% of those who died of suicide were men. Middle age is the peak of one's career. At the same time, they are faced with the pressure of "honoring parents and children" and fear of aging, so they are more prone to psychological problems. He suggested liberating men from utilitarianism, making life more leisure elements, learning simplicity and simplicity from children, and learning sensibility and interest from women.
Over-reliance on electronic devices will increase mortality. A survey of 220,000 patients with chronic diseases found that the death rate of men who were exposed to computers, televisions and other electronic devices for more than 1, 654, 38+0 hours per day increased by 40%. It is recommended to leave the computer and TV for 5 minutes every 1 hour. More importantly, go out of the house, keep exercising, make yourself sweat more when exercising, and keep your heart rate at 140~ 150 beats/min.
Singles are more popular. Many surveys show that compared with married men, single men * * * including divorced and widowed * * * have higher mortality and morbidity after the age of 40. Because single men are more likely to drink, eat less healthily and pay less attention to maintenance. Therefore, men should get married as soon as possible after the age of 25 and manage a good marriage with their wives. Single men should remind themselves to keep a healthy lifestyle.
Smoking hurts the heart and lungs. After the age of 40, smoking is more harmful to the lungs and heart. The study found that the risk of stroke caused by smoking in men over 65 is twice as high as that under 65. The sooner you quit smoking, the better. You can divert your attention, cut down on parties, throw away smoking utensils, or consult a professional.

Worried that family pressure will multiply. After the age of 40, women are faced with the dual pressure of caring for adolescent children and elderly parents. United Nations statistics show that middle-aged women work 2.5 times as long as middle-aged men. Under the traditional concept, middle-aged women in China bear greater family pressure, and children, husbands and parents have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Wang Guorong appealed that husbands should always thank their wives for their contribution to the family and take the initiative to share housework. They can list family affairs and negotiate the division of labor.
Some people eat too much fat, others eat too little and are weak. Middle-aged women can be divided into two types, some are overweight because they eat too much, and some are malnourished because they lose weight and diet. According to Ma Liping's estimation, about13 people are blindly pursuing "being old and thin is hard to buy", and they are mainly vegetarians, but this has led to problems such as sagging internal organs, anemia and decreased resistance. Another13 people are obese because they can't hold their mouths and walk. Her experience is that all dinners are arranged at noon, and fried and greasy foods are only eaten at noon, and they are light and full at night.
Poor sleep, high blood pressure. American research shows that women who don't get enough sleep have twice the risk of high blood pressure as men. Women over 40 years old are the high-risk group of insomnia, and the main reasons are menopause, marriage and affection, family relationship, illness and so on. When you sleep, you should "sleep first and then sleep", that is to say, you should keep calm after 9 pm and don't watch TV dramas with tense and sad plots. Go to bed on time at night 1 1, and ensure that you sleep "golden seven hours" from night 1 1 to 6 am. People with severe insomnia should see a doctor as soon as possible.
Inactive, physically weak. The study found that women are less likely to exercise for 30 minutes every day than men. This will make middle-aged women more susceptible to cancer, high blood pressure, heart disease and so on. It is recommended to keep exercising for half an hour every day, such as walking until the soles of your feet are hot, dancing in square dance, singing and playing table tennis. But you must persevere. Because middle-aged women's ligament function declines, they are not suitable for challenging yoga movements.
Smoking and drinking are easy to get dementia. Studies have shown that drinking is more harmful to women than men because of hormones, weight and other reasons. Middle-aged women who smoke 2 packs of cigarettes a day are more prone to cognitive impairment. The report of China Tobacco Control Association also shows that the smoking rate of middle-aged women in China is increasing. Experts suggest drinking only one glass of red wine at most every day. It's never too late to quit smoking, because whenever you quit smoking, the probability of suffering from heart disease in the second year will be reduced by half, and the risk of suffering from stroke, lung cancer and other diseases will also be reduced.
