Experts say that men who often squat can prevent the following diseases:
One is prostatitis.
Prostatitis is one of the common diseases in adult men. Although it does not directly threaten life, it seriously affects the quality of life of patients. According to statistics, about 50% of men will be affected by prostatitis at some time in their lives, and the prevalence rate of adult men under 50 is higher.
The second type is bladder cancer, that is, malignant overgrowth of cells in the bladder.
The most common overgrowth is located in the bladder cavity, that is, the mucosal epithelium of the bladder. Some data show that the incidence of bladder tumor in men is 2.5 times that in women.
To prevent the above two diseases, men can often squat, reduce the body's oppression on the prostate, thus improving the blood circulation of the prostate. In addition, men who urinate in a standing position for a long time tend to leave residual urine in the bladder. If squatting urination is adopted, it will be beneficial for middle-aged and elderly men and patients with prostate diseases to discharge residual urine, which is very beneficial to patients with prostatitis and can also reduce the risk of bladder cancer.
The third is low back pain.
Due to the professional nature, many men will feel backache after sedentary, standing for a long time and having sex, which seriously affects the quality of life of couples and also brings troubles to their work. In this regard, Liao Xiaoqiang believes that it is also possible to stretch the back by doing squats frequently, so that the spine is in a state of traction and stretching, which plays a role in relieving backache.
Liao said that squatting often is good for the body, such as strengthening joints and bones. Squatting can enhance the range of motion of waist, hip, knee and ankle, enhance the flexibility of knee joint and delay the aging of joint; It can enhance the muscle strength of lower limbs, improve vascular function, dilate arterioles and arterioles, effectively reduce blood pressure and reduce peripheral resistance of the heart; Can promote metabolism. Squat exercise strengthens blood circulation, increases blood volume, and effectively improves blood supply and metabolism of myocardium. Can drive weight loss.
In addition, squat can consume a lot of calories and lose excess fat, especially the fat accumulated on the buttocks and thighs; Can delay the decline of the brain. Squatting can strengthen the activities of the legs and delay the decline of the brain. Although squatting is a very simple action, it will have obvious effect if you insist on doing it every day, but it needs to be reminded that squatting time should not be too long, otherwise it will easily hurt your knees.
