In recent years, male diseases are on the rise, and the average life expectancy is also decreasing year by year. One of the studies shows that men don't shave often, and the mortality rate is easy to rise. Researchers point out that men who shave every day are much less likely to have a heart attack or stroke than men who don't shave often.
The prevalence of men who shave less is higher than that of men who shave every day.
The researchers reported in the American Journal of Epidemiology that 835 people died in this 20-year study. Overall, 45% of people who don't shave every day die, while 365,438+0% of people who shave at least once a day die. It's not that the daily death toll of barbers is related to their heavy smokers and poor living habits. The researchers said that although this does not explain why they have a higher risk of stroke, it also shows that frequent shaving is related to the risk of illness.
Besides shaving, men's life span is also related to hormones.
The results show that most people who shave every day are not unmarried, and most of them are blue-collar; They enjoy sex less often, are shorter and are prone to angina pectoris.
In addition, Professor Shah Ibrahim of the Department of Social Medicine said in a statement: "People who don't shave often have a high mortality rate, which may be caused by smoking and some social factors, but a small part is also affected by hormones." He said that men who shave every day do not enjoy sex less, which may be because their testosterone is low, or just because they are not married, so they have less chances to have sex.
As for the high probability of stroke, one possible explanation is that the circulating level of sex hormones in their bodies may affect the degree of fat deposition in arteries.
Avoid shaving twice.
Don't shave before taking a bath. After shaving, there are a lot of minimally invasive skin invisible to the naked eye, which is more sensitive. At this time, take a bath immediately. Bath lotion, shampoo and hot water can easily cause discomfort or even redness in the shaving area.
It is not advisable to shave before exercise. During exercise, the blood circulation of the body is accelerated, and a lot of sweat will cause discomfort and even infection to the skin you just shaved.
Early morning is the best time to shave. At this time, the skin is more relaxed, and shaving can also reduce the chance of being scratched. Don't shave from different directions, or you will form an inverted beard.
The best way for a man to shave is-
1. Shave 20 minutes after getting up.
You really shouldn't shave in a hurry when you get up in the morning, or you may grow new stubble in the afternoon. It's best to shave 20 minutes after getting up to keep your face clean all day. This is mainly because when I first got up, after a night's rest, my reproductive function was vigorous and my beard grew fast. After eating for 20 minutes to half an hour, the androgen in men is not so strong, and the growth rate of beards decreases. Shaving at this time will not grow quickly.
2. Wash your face with neutral soap before shaving.
Wash your face with neutral soap before shaving. If there is dirt and dust on the face and beard, once the razor produces * * * on the skin or slightly hurts the skin, the dirt will cause skin infection. After washing your face, apply a hot towel to your beard, or apply a soft beard cream to soften your beard. After a period of time, apply shaving cream or soap to facilitate the cutting of the beard by the blade and reduce the phenomenon of * * * on the skin. When shaving, the skin should be tightened to reduce the resistance of the razor running on the skin and prevent the skin from being damaged.
3. The shaving order is from left to right.
Older or thinner people are prone to wrinkles, so they should tighten their skin to maintain its elasticity and support. The order of shaving is: from left to right, from top to bottom, first along the pores, and then to the pores. After shaving, wipe the foam with a hot towel or wash it with warm water to check whether there is stubble.
