1. Precautions for middle-aged men
The first line of defense: don't eat fat after 40. Americans call cardiovascular disease "andropathy". They found that most potbellied and smoking men in their 40 s and 50 s were "pregnant women" who were diagnosed with cardiovascular diseases. Medical experts from the National University of Ireland suggest that in order to reduce this phenomenon, women must keep their husbands' mouths shut, help men quit smoking, and then write a heart-protecting recipe. Fan Zhihong, an associate professor in the College of Food Science of China Agricultural University, pointed out that men like meat and fried food best, and their preference for animal fat will lead to excessive fat, which will precipitate on blood vessels, causing arteriosclerosis and thrombosis. If you want to control men's mouths, you should let them eat more fish, bean products, nuts, oats and garlic, which are the "bane" of cardiovascular diseases. In addition, eat less salt and more fruits, and don't eat animal viscera and fat after 40 years old.
The second line of defense: put a bottle of first aid medicine in the bag. In sudden death caused by cardiovascular diseases, the proportion of men is much higher than that of women. For men who are obese, smoke, tired and nervous for a long time, they may have a heart attack while playing ball games, taking a bath, having a meeting or eating. Therefore, Zhao Jianguo, an expert from the State Council and the First Affiliated Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, reminded that men over 40 years old, especially those with high risk factors of heart disease, should carry emergency medicine with them to "insure" their hearts. For example, put a bottle of nitroglycerin in your wallet or pocket, and prepare a bottle at the bedside, study, office and bathroom where you often stay. Once this happens, take out a tablet and put it under your tongue immediately. If the pain symptoms are not obviously relieved after taking it, it may be myocardial infarction, and you must go to the hospital immediately.
The third line of defense: eat out and drink less strong tea. Someone said, "Men have stomach trouble for two reasons, either because they are angry with their superiors or because of their wives." Although it is a joke, if you want to have a good stomach, you really need to reduce bad emotions such as anger, tension and anxiety. In addition, you can't give too much food stimulation to the fragile stomach. When men socialize outside, it is best for wives to remind them often: drink less strong tea, spirits and coffee, and eat less cold and spicy food, thus reducing gastric acid secretion. Men with bad stomachs should smoke less, because nicotine in them can also stimulate gastric mucosa and cause gastric dysfunction.
Line 4: Eat some millet porridge in the morning and evening. The incidence of gastropathy in men, especially gastric ulcer and gastric cancer, is higher than that in women. If you want to help them protect their stomachs, it is most important to keep three points for seven points. Professor Lin Sanren, honorary chairman of the Gastroenterology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and former director of the Department of Gastroenterology of the Third Hospital of Peking University, taught men a phrase "protecting the stomach": every meal is full regularly, vegetables and fruits are indispensable, eat more white meat instead of red meat, and drink some millet porridge in the morning and evening. In addition, chewing slowly and eating soft, rotten and finely processed food can also reduce the "workload" of the gastrointestinal tract. But glutinous rice is not easy to absorb, so eat less. People with digestive tract ulcers should not drink too much milk.
The fifth line of defense: eat only eight points full. Every year after the physical examination, many men will see the word "fatty liver" in the physical examination report. According to the survey, 1/4 of men in their thirties and forties in China suffer from fatty liver. Professor Li Bin, director of the Second Department of Gastroenterology, the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, told reporters that fatty liver is mostly caused by alcoholism and overnutrition. Men's careers are getting bigger and bigger, they eat more and more big meals, and their waistlines are increasing day by day, so they "feed" fatty liver. If you want to prevent it, there is no "specific medicine". The most important thing is to eat seven or eight minutes full, especially for dinner. Don't insist. Not only should we eat less red meat, fried food and sweets, but we should also drink less, and we should not eat too much staple food, because steamed bread and rice can also be converted into fat and enter the liver.
Line 6: Jog three to five times a week. Chen Yurong, a runaway mother, walks 10 km every day, getting rid of severe fatty liver. This experience can be used for reference by many men. Professor Pu Junzong from the Institute of Sports Medicine of Peking University Third Hospital said that the most effective way to prevent fatty liver is exercise. The amount of exercise can be gradually increased from small to large, lasting at least 20 minutes at a time, 3-5 times a week, and 5-7 times a week for moderately obese people. For men, the most convenient and economical way is to walk at a medium speed of about 120 steps per minute, jog around the community garden, do dozens of sit-ups before going to bed, ride a bike or walk as much as possible, and don't drive or take a car. Of course, if you insist on swimming or climbing once a week, you can consume excess fat in your liver faster.
The eighth line of defense: don't exceed one or two liquors. When a man's face is flushed under the action of alcohol, he may not have thought that his prostate will be "drunk" in addition to hurting his liver. Deng Shumin, director of the Department of Urology and Andrology, Beijing Hospital of the Ministry of Health, pointed out that the prostate is very sensitive to alcohol and will become hypertrophy and "clumsy" under the stimulation of alcohol. Excessive drinking will also interfere with sexual response and reduce sexual excitement and orgasm. He reminded that people with mild prostatitis should pay great attention to any irritating drinks and foods. Never have more than one or two cups of white wine, not more than one cup of coffee a day, and eat less spicy food.
2. Matters needing attention in male health care
1, quit smoking
Smoking will directly endanger people's health and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, lung cancer and respiratory diseases. If you have been smoking for a long time and can't give up for a while, you'd better eat more fish, carrots, sweet peppers, spinach, onions, garlic and oranges, and drink tea regularly, so as to reduce the harm of smoking to your health to some extent.
Love reminder: all smokers know that "smoking is harmful to health", so why smoke? Smoking is unbearable. So, I "weaned" again and again and picked it up again and again. Actually, this is normal. Experts tell us that many people often need several times to be completely successful.
2, quit oil
Men's tastes are generally heavy, especially men who love to drink. They generally like to eat greasy and fried foods, which are easy to gain weight and increase the risk of vascular diseases. You should eat some light food, eat more vegetable oil and less animal oil, eat more garlic and fish, and drink some red wine in moderation to reduce cholesterol content.
Love reminder: Experts advocate that vegetable oil and animal oil should be eaten together or alternately, and the ratio is 10 to 7. The mixture of animal and vegetable oils is beneficial to the prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
3. Toilet time
Men spend a long time in the toilet, which is generally related to constipation or hemorrhoids. In this case, they should eat more vegetables and fruits and drink more water. If you go to the toilet for no reason, it may be prostatitis and you need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment.
Love reminder: Many people like to read while going to the toilet, which is not only unsanitary, but also leads to long-term squeezing of rectal vein and hemorrhoids. Modern medical research has confirmed that squatting in the toilet for more than 3 minutes can directly lead to congestion of rectal varicose veins and easily lead to hemorrhoids. The severity of the disease is also related to the length of time.
If it doesn't enlarge and bleed, the mole itself won't be dangerous, but many men don't care much about their skin, so they should change this bad habit.
Love reminder: Most people don't care about "moles", but only try to get rid of those moles that hinder beauty. In fact, the biggest harm of moles is canceration, so all moles with changed characteristics should be removed as soon as possible.
4. Chest pain
Men sometimes have chest pain after doing manual labor or exercise. Generally, chest pain will stop after a short rest, and most of them don't care much. This situation may be normal, but it may also be an early symptom of heart disease. You'd better go to the hospital for examination.
Love reminder: chest pain is a common clinical symptom, which can be caused by diseases of the chest or chest wall, or from diseases of the chest and abdomen organs; Include dull pain, persistent pain, tingling, burning or tenderness. Severe chest pain can be life-threatening (such as pulmonary infarction, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, pneumothorax, etc.). ) If it cannot be diagnosed and treated in time.
5. Protect the brain
As men get older, brain cells will gradually decrease, twice as fast as women. Excessive use of the brain for a long time will lead to brain cell damage and memory loss. Not burning the midnight oil is an effective way to protect the brain, and it is forbidden to use the brain excessively at night. In order to protect your brain, you should eat more fish, especially sea fish.
Men's health experts remind that onions and garlic are rich in nutrients, which can promote the secretion of digestive juice, increase appetite, enhance digestion, and have sterilization and anti-inflammatory effects. Recent studies have also found that eating onions and garlic regularly can reduce blood lipids, blood sugar and blood pressure, and even strengthen the brain.
