1. Eating food rich in plant fiber
The main function of plant cellulose is to accelerate intestinal peristalsis, reduce cholesterol and some bile salts, reduce glucose and fatty acids in the blood, and have the effect of reducing blood pressure. In addition, it can also eliminate some carcinogens and avoid rectal cancer. People will feel full when they eat food rich in plant fiber, and they don't need to worry about accumulating excess calories. Therefore, it also has the effect of losing weight. It is recommended that men eat 18-20 grams of plant fiber each time they eat. Main foods rich in plant fiber include wheat bran, whole-wheat bread, cabbage, potato, carrot, apple, lettuce, cauliflower, celery, etc.
2. Eating foods containing magnesium
Magnesium can help regulate human heart activity, lower blood pressure, prevent heart disease and improve male fertility. It is suggested that men should have 2 bowls of milk oatmeal Congee and a banana for breakfast. Foods with more magnesium include soybeans, baked potatoes, walnuts, oatmeal Congee, macaroni and seafood.
3. Eating foods containing vitamin A
Vitamin A helps to improve human immunity, prevent cancer and protect human vision. An adult man needs to take 1000 micrograms of vitamin A every day, but excessive consumption is harmful to his health. Foods with more vitamin A include liver, dairy products, fish, tomatoes, carrots, apricots, cantaloupes, etc.
4. Eat a certain amount of chromium
Chromium helps to promote the metabolism of cholesterol and enhance the endurance of the body. In addition, it can also promote the production of muscle and avoid excess fat under certain physical conditions. Middle-aged men need at least 50 micrograms of chromium a day, while those with high activity need 100-200 micrograms of chromium a day. Such a dose of chromium is difficult to ingest from food. Therefore, it is recommended that men take pharmaceutical preparations containing chromium, such as vitamins and minerals, or drink beer.
