When men reach middle age, do they feel that the burden on their shoulders is heavier than when they were young, and their health is always worse than before? Male health care shoulders the important responsibility of family and society, which can not be ignored. What aspects should men pay attention to in health care?

Fresh air can help blood flow smoothly, promote vital capacity and circulatory system, and is a wonderful recipe for restoring spirit and promoting immune system. Therefore, in autumn, open the window for half an hour every morning and evening, or often go for a walk outdoors.
Let the respiratory mucosa be stimulated by some cold air, which is also an exercise of respiratory disease resistance and can improve immunity.
Drink plenty of water
Adequate water in the body can keep the respiratory mucosa moist, and it is difficult for cold viruses to multiply quickly.
Nutritionists suggest that the daily drinking amount should be 40ml according to the body weight, and children should drink more water. The best drinks are water, mixed drinks (mineral water or soda mixed with apple juice), fruit tea or herbal tea. Drink less coffee, alcoholic drinks and alcohol.
In addition to drinking more water, moderate exercise and other living habits, there are some foods that are of great benefit to men's 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 demand for lycopene, and cooked tomatoes are more easily absorbed by the human body.
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 and 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 more.
Eating more oysters can replenish essence.
After the age of 24, the quality and quantity of 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 highest zinc content in food, and the zinc content in a small oyster can meet the needs of one day (15 mg), thus enhancing men's sexual ability. Foods rich in zinc include fish, pork liver, beef, shrimp, shellfish, laver, sesame, peanut, soybean and bean products.
High pressure operation of fresh jujube processing
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 nutrition more. People who are often nervous can eat 3 to 5 fresh dates every day, supplement vitamin C, and cope with work. In addition to fresh dates, foods rich in vitamin C include kiwifruit, oranges, oranges, broccoli, asparagus and so on. Can help the secretion of adrenal cortex (an anti-stress hormone), thus resisting stress.
Garlic relieves fatigue.
As we all know, garlic has a strong bactericidal power, which can kill germs invading the body. But you know what? It also helps to absorb vitamin B 1, promote sugar metabolism to generate energy and relieve fatigue. Another important function of garlic is to enhance immunity. Lead selenide contained in garlic also has antioxidant effect, so it is regarded as anti-cancer food.
Deep-sea fish do not paddle.
The age group of men suffering from hyperlipidemia and stroke is gradually decreasing, while the -3 fatty acids in deep-sea fish can prevent blood coagulation and reduce vasoconstriction and triglyceride. It is especially good for 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 it will overload the kidneys and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, malignant tumors and other diseases. Even for "lean meat", invisible hidden fat accounts for 28%.
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). Take pork as an example, the average daily meat quantity should be controlled at two or three pieces; 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 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 alcohol on an empty stomach should be avoided, and it is best to drink it with food and drinks. This can stimulate appetite, help digestion and reduce the absorption of alcohol.
