How many men in the world are troubled by their bulging stomachs? How many men can keep fit under high pressure? In fact, their physical fitness is getting worse because they are constantly busy, and diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease are also coming to you.
Anne Denyer, an expert from the British Nutrition Society, pointed out: "A healthy diet is the best medicine to ensure that men are young, energetic and strong." A few days ago, an article in Singapore's Xinmin Daily pointed out that men should eat properly according to their own physiological characteristics to help maintain their physical and mental health.
Tomatoes protect the prostate. Lycopene can scavenge free radicals in prostate and protect prostate tissue. This natural carotenoid mainly exists in red foods such as tomatoes, watermelons and grapefruit. An adult eating 100-200 grams of tomatoes every day can meet the human body's need for lycopene, while cooked tomatoes are more easily absorbed by the human body.
Harvard University published a long-term follow-up report of 1995 to 47,000 people. According to the report, people who eat more than 10 servings of tomatoes per week have a lower risk of prostate cancer than the general population by 45%. Therefore, eating at least one tomato every day is a good choice for men.
Oats are good for the cardiovascular system. Men's endocrine metabolism is often destroyed, so they are more likely to suffer from diseases such as hypertension and stroke. Vitamin e can prevent cholesterol from blocking blood vessels and removing garbage from the body. Coarse grains, nuts and vegetable oils all contain vitamin E, so men should eat more of these foods. American nutritionist Nicky Koubek said that oats, in particular, are rich in soluble cellulose, which can protect your heart and blood vessels by cleaning up cholesterol. In some cases, oats can reduce the risk of heart disease by 30% or even higher.
Eating more oysters can replenish the essence. After the age of 24, the quality and quantity of male sperm are declining. Male semen contains a lot of zinc. When zinc is insufficient in the body, it will affect the quantity and quality of sperm. Seafood oysters, shrimps and crabs have the richest zinc content, and the zinc content in a small oyster can meet the needs of one day (15 mg), thus enhancing the sexual ability of men.
Foods rich in zinc include fish, pork liver, beef, shrimp, shellfish, laver, sesame, peanut, soybean and bean products.
Fresh dates deal with high-pressure work. Because men play the role of undertaker in work, family and society for a long time, they are in a state of high pressure for a long time and need more nutrition. People who are often nervous can eat 3 to 5 fresh dates every day, supplement vitamin C, and cope with work.

Deep-sea fish paddle less. The age of men suffering from hyperlipidemia and stroke is gradually decreasing. Omega-3 fatty acids in deep-sea fish can prevent blood coagulation, reduce vasoconstriction and reduce triglycerides. It is especially beneficial to the heart and blood vessels. The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends eating fish rich in omega -3 fatty acids, including mackerel, saury, grouper and salmon, but remember to eat fish at least twice a week.
Eat pork with beans. "Men tend to prefer animal fat, but this will overload the kidneys and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, malignant tumors and other diseases. Even' lean meat' accounts for 28% of hidden fat invisible to the naked eye. " Yu Kang, deputy director of the Clinical Nutrition Society of Beijing Branch of Chinese Medical Association and deputy director of the Clinical Nutrition Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, said.
Therefore, men should learn to eat lightly, especially to reduce animal fat (fat, fried meat, animal offal, etc. ) and the total amount of edible oil (generally not more than 30g/day). Taking pork as an example, the average daily meat quantity should be controlled at 232; In addition, when eating pork, it is best to match beans, because bean products contain a lot of lecithin, which can emulsify plasma, make cholesterol and fat particles smaller, and prevent the formation of hardened plaques.
Red wine prevents arteriosclerosis. If you have to drink, drink red wine. Because the antioxidant polyphenols contained in grape skin remain in wine, the risk of cardiovascular disease can be reduced. In addition, red wine can enhance the antioxidant effect and prevent arteriosclerosis. Recent research results also show that red wine can also effectively prevent male Alzheimer's disease. Generally speaking, it is advisable for middle-aged men to drink100-150ml (about 2-3oz) every day. In addition, drinking on an empty stomach should be avoided, and it is best to drink with food and beverage. This can increase appetite, help digestion and reduce the absorption of alcohol.
Put water on the agenda. There is 75% water in the human brain, and the first organ affected by dehydration is the brain. Too little water will make people tired and slow down. It's just that when men get busy, they often forget to drink water. If you supplement your body with drinks or soup, it will only increase calories and make your body fat. Therefore, drink as much water as possible between meals. For example, as soon as you enter the office, you immediately pour 500 ml of water on the table and force yourself to drink it as soon as you have time and finish it before lunch. Drink at least 1200ml of water every day, which is equivalent to two bottles of mineral water. ▲
