Men and women have different health care.

As the saying goes, "Men eat and women sleep". Men's energy is often considered to be supplemented by diet therapy, while women need a good "beauty sleep" if they want to become beautiful. In fact, from the perspective of health care, a healthy diet and high-quality sleep are the two magic weapons for health care, and both men and women are equally important. But after all, men and women are different, and health care should also pay attention to gender differences.

M: "Spermatogenesis" and "anti-oxidation" work together.

Professor Zhang Shijun from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, said that men's tonic is mainly to protect the yang, because men are under great social pressure and are prone to lose yang when they are tired. It is suggested to choose a suitable diet according to one's physical fitness.

A major focus of men's diet should be "nourishing kidney essence". "Because the kidney is responsible for storing yang, the yang of the human body comes from the kidney, and the kidney provides power for life activities, so eat more food that tonifies the kidney and produces sperm." According to reports, Chinese wolfberry, Chinese yam, chestnuts, black sesame seeds, lotus seeds and other foods have kidney-tonifying effects.

"A big difference between men and women is that men have a large proportion of muscles, while women have more fat." Ceng Jing, director of the Nutrition Department of Guangdong Armed Police Corps Hospital, said that from a nutritional point of view, men should pay attention to adequate intake of high-quality protein, because muscles need energy from protein. At the same time, protein can also help to produce sperm and improve fertility. Men should also ensure the daily supplement of trace elements such as zinc and selenium.

Ceng Jing said that the risk factors harmful to health in men's sexual life are much higher than those in women, such as smoking and drinking, so "anti-oxidation" should be another key point in men's diet. Men can eat proper antioxidant nutrition. At the same time, some natural antioxidant foods also have the effect of nutritional supplements. Grapes, tomatoes, mustard and cauliflower, as well as hawthorn, garlic, vitamin C and vitamin E all contain natural antioxidants.

W: It is very important to supplement iron after menstrual blood loss.

For women, although the importance of eating may be after sleep, eating well is also of great benefit to health and beauty. "Tonifying blood is well known, but it should be noted that it cannot be supplemented during menstruation, and the effect is the best after menstruation." Professor Zhang Shijun said. There are many ingredients for nourishing blood and yin. Radix Astragali, Radix Ginseng, Radix Codonopsis, Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Radix Paeoniae Alba, Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae, Polygoni Multiflori Radix, Caulis Spatholobi, Fructus Lycii, Colla Corii Asini, Fructus Jujubae, Arillus Longan and Black-bone Chicken are all good nourishing products.

"Iron supplementation and vitamins are also very important for women, and menstrual blood will lead to iron loss; Women's outdoor activities are generally not as long as men's, which may lead to insufficient vitamins synthesized by sunlight. " Director Ceng Jing introduced.

She introduced that women can eat more nutritious foods rich in high-quality protein, essential trace elements (especially iron), folic acid and vitamin B 12, such as bean products, animal liver and kidney, animal blood, fish, shrimp, chicken, eggs, dates, brown sugar, black fungus, mulberry, peanuts (red skin is better eaten raw), and peanuts.

Sleep articles

Female: Sleep "fills" qi and blood.

"Sleep is as important to women as any health care product. Some insomnia women walk into the clinic and know that they are sleep disorders without opening their mouths, because they are accompanied by symptoms such as gaunt face, dull eyes and insufficient blood. " Professor Zhang Shijun introduced that sleeping at night is the best time for women to nourish yin and replenish blood. Chinese medicine advocates "nourishing yin", and women have to sleep to keep quiet. "In addition, women's health care also pays attention to using blood. As long as the quality of sleep is high, it will be full of blood, which is reflected in the radiant face, so the term' sleeping beauty' is very scientific. " He said.

"Western medicine also believes that sleep is particularly important for women, because women are greatly influenced by endocrine, and endocrine levels will fluctuate greatly in many times in their lives, such as menstrual cramps, pregnancy, breastfeeding and menopause. If endocrine disorders occur, women will have various physical discomfort and their faces will be bad. " Ceng Jing said that sleep is the best time to regulate endocrine. "High-quality sleep and plenty of time mean that regular rest can be guaranteed. In the long run, the endocrine level will tend to be constant and regular, which is of course of great benefit to women's health and beauty. " She said. In addition, women can appropriately increase sleep time to resist fatigue caused by excessive blood loss during menstruation.

M: "Meridian sense" is beneficial to the harmony of Yin and Yang.

Although women don't rely on sleep for beauty, men's sleep is actually particular. "Sleep is conducive to the harmony of yin and yang, conditioning and nourishing the kidneys, which is very important for men." Zhang Shijun said. He said that busy men can sleep "meridian sense" according to the advice of Huangdi Neijing. "The so-called meridian is 65438+ 0 ~ 3 pm, and sleeping for half an hour to an hour is just' yang'; It is the best time to fall asleep at 9 ~ 1 1 in the evening, when you begin to nourish yin. "

From the perspective of western medicine, Director Ceng Jing also said that sleep is extremely important for men who are constantly running around the city and consume a lot of physical labor. If the sleep time is insufficient or the quality is not high, it will have a bad influence on the brain. If brain fatigue is difficult to recover for a long time, severe cases may affect brain function.
