Different people have different opinions on their health. How do you evaluate your health? The latest article in the American magazine Men's Health published "The greatest threat to the health of men of different ages", which is helpful for men to conduct more scientific health self-assessment.
After 20 years old. Dr. Alan Peters, medical director of the California Nutrition and Health Medical Center, said that when men were in their 20s, they lacked enough vitamin D in their diet. Many young people pay attention to the appearance of health, but ignore the importance of daily diet nutrition. Daily intake of sufficient vitamin D can improve immune function and reduce the risk of cancer such as prostate cancer and gastrointestinal cancer. Expert advice: eat more fish and dairy products.
After 30 years old. Cleveland Clinic data show that men in their 30s are at greater risk of lumbar disc herniation. The study found that nearly one third of people have the initial symptoms of this disease when they are in their 20s. The disease involves a variety of causes, such as excessive weight, improper lifting of heavy objects, etc. Experts suggest that if there is a lumbar disc problem, you should try to avoid some intense sports, avoid stretching, drink more water, take fish oil, etc.
After 40. Dr. Peters said that when people are in their 40s, they often feel that energy, sexuality, brain power and sleep are on the decline. This is especially true for men, one of the reasons is that their androgens are at the "suboptimal" level with aging. Experts suggest that if you find the above symptoms, you should see a doctor. Through simple blood or saliva tests, you can determine whether the hormone is playing tricks, and then apply the right medicine to the case and treat it in time.
After 50 years old. The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that heart disease is the number one killer of American men. According to the American Heart Association, men in their 50s are at greatest risk of heart disease and stroke. It is important to improve the risk factors of heart disease such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia and lack of exercise. But Peters said that the simplest suggestion is that prevention of heart disease should be started at a young age.
