In fact, these proverbs all illustrate one thing: men and women pay different attention to health preservation.
1, men eat, women sleep
Male is yang, female is yin, moving is yang, and static is yin. Therefore, men must rely on eating to maintain the energy of exercise in order to save Yang. In order to nourish yin, women have to sleep to keep quiet.
However, it is crucial that men eat and women sleep. In fact, both men and women should pay attention to eating and sleeping.
Men eat.
For men, eating is mainly for nourishing kidney essence, because the kidney governs the storage of yang, and the yang of the human body comes from the kidney, which is the driving force of life activities.
Men can eat more foods that tonify kidney and produce sperm, such as medlar, yam, chestnuts, black sesame seeds and lotus seeds.
For women, a correct diet is also necessary. Women need to nourish liver and blood, and eat more foods that enrich blood and nourish yin, such as angelica, red dates, donkey-hide gelatin and mutton soup.
Women sleep.
In terms of sleep, it is best for men and women to sleep for about 8 hours a day.
Sleep is very important for both men and women, but women's sleep quality is relatively poor because of their personality and psychology.
Therefore, women need more sleep. Good sleep can keep women's attention and happiness, and can also nourish their skin.
Drink some milk and eat some hypnotic food such as oats before going to bed; Don't do strenuous exercise 2 hours before going to bed, and don't play mobile phone after 9 pm; Sleep continuously for not less than 6 hours at night; Rest for half an hour to an hour at noon during the day; In addition, women can appropriately increase their sleep time because of excessive blood loss during menstruation.
Men should be "cold-fed" and women should be "hot-fed"
The study found that women living in warm and sunny areas live longer; People who live in a cool climate live longer.
In life, we will also find that men are "strong in firepower" and afraid of heat; Women are more afraid of the cold. Therefore, men should be "cold" and women should be "hot".
Nanren lengyang
When men take a sauna or hot bath, the temperature should be 37℃~4 1℃, 15~20 minutes each time.
Woman re mutton
For example, soaking feet with hot water before going to bed can relieve low back pain and promote sleep;
Use warm water when doing housework to prevent arthritis and gynecological diseases;
Pay attention to add clothes at any time to protect the abdomen, eat less cold food, and avoid being troubled by irregular menstruation and dysmenorrhea.
Zinc supplementation for men and calcium supplementation for women.
The nutritional needs of men and women are different. Studies have found that women are most prone to calcium and iron deficiency, while men are prone to zinc deficiency.
Zinc supplementation for men
For men, zinc is very important and will affect the secretion of androgen. In normal excretion, men also lose more zinc every day than women.
Eating a handful of pine nuts every day can supplement zinc and is beneficial to brain and cardiovascular health. You can eat more zinc-rich foods such as laver, beef, pork liver, sesame seeds and seafood. Increase daily activities, serum zinc concentration will gradually increase.
Calcium supplement for women
When women have menstrual cramps, iron loss will accelerate; After menopause, the speed of bone loss will also accelerate due to the change of hormones, so women need iron and calcium supplements more.
Drinking 250 grams of pure milk every day is an ideal way to supplement calcium; Sunny days, before 1 1 or after 15, bask in the sun for 15~20 minutes; Eat more iron-rich foods such as beef, chicken breast, salmon, animal liver and dark chocolate.
