1, Six Taboos of Health Care for Middle-aged Men
Avoid lust: when people reach middle age, in order to avoid aging before they are old, they can only have feelings, not desires. 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.
Avoid anger: 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, you should keep an eye on it."
Jealousy: 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.
Avoid alcohol: Some middle-aged people often drink too much, and they will be unwilling to eat if they don't drink for a day. As we all know, excessive drinking will damage liver function and affect the health of kidney, spleen and digestive system.

" 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.
Avoid labor: 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 not to be overworked.

3. Small details of men's health care
1, drinking tea after meals is unhealthy.
Many people like to drink tea immediately after meals, which is actually very unscientific. Blindly drinking tea can not only play a role in health care, but even make the body worse and worse. Because tannic acid in tea can combine with iron in food to form insoluble iron salt, which interferes with the absorption of iron, it is easy to induce iron deficiency anemia after a long time. The best time for drinking tea is 65438+ 0 hour after meals. People who like to drink tea should try not to drink tea on an empty stomach, otherwise tea will dilute gastric juice and reduce digestive function, which will easily cause gastritis after a long time.
2, taking tonic depends on the time.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, the digestive system has the lowest absorption function and is most suitable for taking vitamin supplements; If iron is taken at night 19, the curative effect is better than that in the morning; The blood calcium level of human body is the lowest from midnight to early morning. Therefore, calcium supplementation before going to bed can make calcium fully absorbed and utilized.
3. It takes 15 seconds to wash your hands.
Most people wash their hands for less than 8 seconds on average, so it is difficult to effectively remove bacteria from their hands. There are over 400,000 bacteria on one hand. If you have the habit of picking your nose and rubbing your eyes, it is very likely that bacteria will take advantage of it. When washing your hands, be sure to rub them with soap and water for at least 15 seconds.
4, it is best not to take yogurt to satisfy hunger.
Because gastric juice is acidic when people are on an empty stomach, lactic acid bacteria in yogurt are easily killed by gastric acid, and the health care function of yogurt will be weakened. About 2 hours after dinner, the gastric juice is diluted, and the pH in the stomach is most suitable for the growth of lactic acid bacteria. Drinking yogurt is effective at this time, especially 2 hours after meals is the best choice. From the point of view of calcium supplementation, drinking yogurt or milk before going to bed is the best way to supplement calcium.
5. Off-duty time is most suitable for fitness.
During 16- 18, human body temperature rises, muscle strength and elasticity reach the peak, and vital capacity and heart function are stronger. At the same time, your sense of taste, vision and hearing are the most sensitive, and your whole body coordination ability is the best, which is especially suitable for tennis, volleyball, weight lifting and aerobic exercise that consumes fat.
