1, principles of health care for middle-aged men
1. Enjoy beauty
Beauty is actually what everyone likes to see. Just like appreciating beautiful things, we are better for health. Staring at beautiful women for 10 minutes is equivalent to doing aerobic exercise for 30 minutes. Research experiments show that if men can stare at beautiful women every day, their blood pressure is relatively low, their pulse is slow, their heart disease is less, and their average life expectancy can be extended by 4 to 5 years. This is because when a man sees a beautiful woman for the first time, he will feel nervous, excited, blushing, heartburn, cold hands and feet and so on. But seeing beautiful women every day will leave a good emotional memory in his brain, keep the emotional center stable and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease or stroke.
2. A hearty breakfast and dinner.
Food is an essential food to provide energy for our bodies, so we must pay more attention to breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast should be rich in protein and carbohydrates. Such as eggs or whole wheat bread, can provide enough energy. You can eat more fruits and vegetables for dinner. Try to avoid frying and frying, and choose steaming or boiling. White-cut meat, white-cut chicken and onion dipped in sauce can not only improve the taste, but also adjust the salt intake by themselves. It is suggested that you can eat at least two servings of fruits and half a catty of vegetables every day.
3. Close your eyes and practice muscle relaxation.
Busy life makes our bodies in a state of tension. At this time, you can close your eyes properly and learn to relax. The method is as follows: find a place to sit down and concentrate on practicing our muscles. Quickly tighten a muscle of the body for 5 seconds, and then slowly relax. Repeat the muscle "tightening-relaxing" action, from head, eyes to toes, all muscles can be performed.
Wake up naturally after a good night's sleep
Adequate and good sleep is very beneficial to our health. People who suffer from insomnia can try warm milk. Chromic acid in milk can stabilize the neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain and help you sleep regularly. Taking a simple deep breath before going to bed will make it easy to fall asleep. Take a deep breath in bed in the morning 10 minutes, then get up and freshen up, and you will feel refreshed all day. Methods: Play some soothing music, drink some warm water, take a deep breath slowly and forget the complicated affairs.
5. Drink some health tea
Middle-aged men who want health care can also drink some health tea appropriately, and the effect is very good. They should drink at least 2000 ml of water every day to supplement their needs. Middle-aged men can try health tea. People with qi deficiency (most office workers) can soak in water with American ginseng (3 yuan), Radix Astragali (5 yuan) and 2-3 red dates. People with yang deficiency (generally over 50 years old) soak ginseng in water. People who are often thirsty can soak in water with fried Semen Cassiae and Fructus Lycii in the form of 1: 1, which can improve their eyesight and refresh themselves. Or malt, red dates and licorice can also be used. It is best to make health tea on the same day and drink it on the same day to avoid the failure of Chinese herbal medicines due to oxidation.
6. Cry when you should.
When a male friend is depressed or depressed, he must pay attention to venting, cry when he should, and don't hold back. A recent study in the United States shows that when he is depressed, he will secrete an adrenaline, which is called the pain hormone, which will make people feel depressed and listless and shorten their life span. Fortunately, pain hormones can be excreted through sweat and tears or urine. Therefore, when men are depressed, they can do more exercise to make their bodies sweat or shed tears, and then they can excrete pain hormones.
7. Happiness lies in contentment
Generally speaking, people who are easily satisfied with life are more likely to get happiness and live longer. It is found that women are more likely to find solutions through physical exercise or telling others, while those men who are dissatisfied with their lives are most likely to drown their sorrows by drinking or relieve their stress by smoking, which will seriously damage their health. Compared with men who are contented, men who are dissatisfied with life are twice as likely to die of various reasons, while the former is three times as likely to die of illness. In addition, men with bad drinking habits are more likely to die.
2. Health taboos of middle-aged men
One of the taboos: overwork
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.
Taboo 2: Eat too much.
Teenagers have bones, young people have meat, and middle-aged people are fat. This 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.
Taboo 3: excessive desire
When people reach middle age, in order to avoid aging before they get old, they can only be affectionate and not lascivious. 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.
Taboo 4: Do not exercise.
As the saying goes, "trees get old first, people get old first." 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.
Taboo 5: sentimental.
Middle-aged people tend to be sentimental because of work or family, which can easily lead to aging. To this end, middle-aged people should learn to solve problems, treat them calmly and don't worry easily. Maybe it's because of too much pressure that some men sulk on their own. 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, keep an eye on it."
