First of all, people should try to have a balanced diet when they reach middle age. In addition to ensuring a regular diet and eating seven points full, we should also eat these kinds of foods properly, such as eating more fresh fruits and vegetables and coarse grains, eating less fried and barbecue foods, and avoiding eating seaweed and eating big fish and meat. Don't eat too much as long as it is suitable. A foreign study found that after 40 years old, you should eat four kinds of food: bean products improve bone density, oats help lower cholesterol, almonds help control blood sugar, and eating deep-sea fish four times a week can improve high blood pressure.
If you want to stay healthy, smokers had better give up smoking. Tobacco and smoke contain more than 250 kinds of toxic substances or carcinogens, which are extremely harmful to respiratory system, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. It's never too late to quit smoking! Quitting smoking at the age of 40 can add nine years to your life. In addition, when people reach middle age, their careers begin to improve, and socialization is inevitable. If you enjoy drinking, you must not be drunk all the time, otherwise your liver will be seriously damaged. You must control the amount of alcohol you drink, with a maximum of 2 ounces of low-alcohol liquor, a maximum of 1 ounce of moderate liquor, a maximum of 25 ml of strong liquor and a maximum of one bottle of beer every day.
The most important thing is to pay more attention to physical examination. For example, after the age of 40, people's internal organs and the twelve meridians began to decline. The external manifestation is that the skin is getting more and more relaxed, the facial luster is slowly disappearing, and the hair is turning white. The internal change is that the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases become fragile and easy to get sick, so the physical examination is very important. In addition to the basic items such as blood pressure and blood sugar, people over 40 years old should also increase the examination of blood vessels, prostate, bones and joints, Helicobacter pylori infection, tumor markers, breast, cervix and thyroid. People with familial genetic diseases should have targeted examinations.
