First of all, lifestyle changes.
Nowadays, more and more middle-aged people around the age of 50 have become patients with chronic diseases. One of the main reasons is that lifestyle has changed greatly. Friends can recall that our previous life was not so rich, with lack of food and much physical activity. Now our life is rich, our diet is rich, we drive when we go out, and our physical activity is obviously reduced. However, you will consume too much energy in your diet, but you can't consume it because you don't exercise. After a long time, metabolic diseases will come to you. Therefore, in view of the unhealthy lifestyle, Dr. Zhang's suggestion is to make every effort to change these unhealthy habits, eat lightly, go out to exercise more, and control your weight within a reasonable range. After doing this, it is really helpful to prevent chronic diseases.
Second, the influence of menopause.
For women, 50 years old is the stage of menopause. The hormone level of menopausal women usually changes greatly, which is mainly manifested in the decrease of estrogen level and the increase of androgen level. Under normal circumstances, estrogen has the effect of lowering blood pressure and protecting cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, while androgen has the opposite effect, which will increase blood pressure and cause a series of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, this hormonal change will definitely aggravate the situation of hypertension. In addition, many friends around 50 have unhealthy lifestyles and there are many risk factors. So chronic metabolic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes gradually appeared. Therefore, in daily life, menopausal women must always check their blood pressure and blood sugar changes.
Third, the enhancement of health awareness.
Another important reason why people around the age of 50 frequently have health problems is that people at this age begin to pay attention to health and gradually strengthen physical examination, so some diseases that were originally neglected will be discovered. To put it more clearly, it is not that the body was not sick before, but that it was not discovered, but that it was not discovered until the age of 50. This situation is common in real life, and it is not a case.
Objectively speaking, for 50-year-old friends, there are indeed more pathogenic factors of chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes, such as physical problems and slow metabolism. Macroscopically, environmental pollution, lifestyle changes and other factors. In any case, at this age, friends must not ignore their own health problems, and at the same time, they must not be afraid of medical treatment. Problems are not terrible. What's really terrible is that you don't want to solve the problem, dragging small problems into big problems and dragging big problems into irretrievable ones.
