1, male health taboo
Avoid gluttony: people grow bones in adolescence, meat in youth and fat in middle age, which 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.
Avoid laziness: As the saying goes, "When the tree is old, the roots are old; When people are old, their legs are old. " 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.
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.
Avoid lust: when people reach middle age, in order to avoid aging before they are old, they can only have feelings, not desires. 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.
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, you should keep an eye on it."
Don't worry: Middle-aged people are prone to sentimentality because of too much work and life pressure and too heavy ideological burden. This kind of mood can easily lead to aging. To this end, middle-aged people should learn to solve problems, treat them calmly and don't worry easily.
Avoid alcohol: Some middle-aged people often drink too much, and they will be unwilling to eat if they don't drink for a day. 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.
