Professor Edgeworth Beresford David Crawford of the University of Colorado said: "A man only remembers that his car needs maintenance, but forgets that he needs health care himself." Men tend to think that they are strong, young and energetic, and they will never get sick again. However, it is this idea of men that makes their average life expectancy five or six years shorter than that of women. Then let's take a look at the misunderstandings of modern men in health.

Myth 1: Men don't need sun protection.

Men think that their dark skin is a symbol of their' man', white and clean, like a little girl, not like a man. However, the American Cancer Society tells you that men have a high risk of skin cancer because they don't pay attention to using sunscreen. When men are pursuing sexy skin of wheat color, skin cancer is eyeing around you.

Myth 2: Dental disease is a trivial matter.

Many men don't take toothache seriously, and minor ailments don't count. The toothache will disappear for a few days. But the doctor told you that toothache should not be underestimated. This may be a precursor to heart disease. Many doctors have proved that periodontal disease is related to heart disease.

Myth 3: It doesn't matter if you stay up late.

Many men have a good foundation when they are young, and often stay up late to work overtime, but they don't know that many diseases are caused by staying up late. Viscera will rest and recuperate at night, but staying up late will make them work without rest at night, accelerate the aging of viscera, reduce physical fitness, cause heartbreaking diseases, and even' overwork death'. Now medicine has given a scientific name to this disease caused by staying up late, "chronic fatigue syndrome".

Myth 4: Kidney deficiency leads to impotence.

Nowadays, all kinds of advertisements for tonifying kidney and strengthening yang mislead many men, making them think that tonifying kidney is strengthening yang, so they feel that they are deficient in kidney and buy kidney and strengthening yang to eat. But the doctor tells you that the disorder of tonifying kidney will become less and less chaotic. It is divided into kidney deficiency, kidney yin deficiency, kidney yang deficiency and kidney qi deficiency. Kidney yin deficiency can nourish yin, and kidney yang deficiency can strengthen yang.

Myth 5: Impotence should be impotence.

Many men think impotence is a sign of yang deficiency. I am depressed because my yang is insufficient. When my yang is sufficient, I naturally show my man's nature. However, impotence can be divided into functional impotence and functional impotence. You should know whether your impotence is caused by disease or psychological factors, otherwise it will only get worse and worse and even lead to infertility.

Myth 6: Seeing a doctor is more terrible than getting cancer.

Many men don't like doctors and are even afraid to see them. If they have minor problems, they can find remedies and prescription drugs for themselves. Many men will take aphrodisiac privately when they are impotent, and tonify the kidney privately when they are deficient in kidney. As a result, the more they fabricate symptoms, the more serious their illness becomes. And they didn't have regular physical examinations on time. As a result, many diseases were delayed.
