Six key areas for men's health and wellness
stomach
Many men like smoking and drinking, and also like to wolf down or overeat at the table. Therefore, the incidence rate of stomach disease in men is 6.2 times higher than that in women on average.
Skin
A considerable number of men do not pay attention to sun protection, let alone skin cancer screening. Therefore, men are twice as likely to die from melanoma as women.
Heart
Men's work is usually more stressful than women's, and the pressure they have to bear is also greater. Therefore, the proportion of men who suffer from myocardial infarction and are admitted for treatment is 7-10 times higher than that of women. To prevent heart disease, in addition to quitting smoking and controlling alcohol consumption, it is also necessary to maintain a normal weight and learn to reduce stress.
Prostate gland
A survey shows that 60% of men over 50 years old suffer from prostate disease. To prevent this disease, one should avoid long-term pressure on the prostate, control sexual activity, and eat less spicy food.
Liver
Men generally socialize frequently and are more susceptible to contracting the hepatitis virus. In addition, most of them drink alcohol, and the liver can only decompose and convert up to 60-80 grams of alcohol per day, exceeding this amount can cause damage to the liver.
Rectum
Men consume more fat and protein foods than women, and excessive intake of fat and protein is an important cause of rectal cancer. Therefore, to prevent rectal diseases, it is important to regularly have vegetables and fruits rich in fiber on the dining table.
Men's health advice
Try to eat less greasy and fried food as much as possible
Men generally have a heavier taste, especially those who enjoy drinking alcohol. They generally enjoy eating greasy and fried foods, which can easily lead to weight gain. This increases the risk of developing vascular diseases. So men need to gradually adapt to eating light foods, eat more vegetable oil and less animal oil, eat more garlic and fish, and drink some red wine in moderation. These practices can lower cholesterol levels.
Change the bad habit of not going to the hospital for several years
Many men do not like to see a doctor and always believe that they are not seriously ill. However, according to statistics, 80% of seriously ill patients admit that they have been absent from the hospital for a long time, and minor illnesses have become major illnesses. They only have to go to the hospital when heart disease, cerebral hemorrhage, and other diseases occur, which delays the best treatment opportunity. Therefore, annual routine physical examination is the best way to maintain health.
Chest pain must be examined
Men sometimes experience chest pain after physical work or exercise. Generally, the chest pain will stop after a short rest, so there is no need to be nervous. But this may also be an early symptom of heart disease, and it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up. Although there may be nothing wrong, it is only after a diagnosis that one can rest assured.
Pay attention to hidden testicular cancer
Men aged 20 to 40 are prone to developing tumors, with testicular cancer being one of them. If discovered in a timely manner, the cure rate of this disease reaches 85%, otherwise treatment is quite difficult. Men can regularly check their sexual organs themselves, preferably when their skin becomes soft after a warm bath. If there are bumps on the skin, you should immediately go to the hospital for examination.
It's better not to smoke
Smoking increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, lung cancer, and respiratory diseases. To be healthy, it is best to quit smoking. If you cannot quit for a while, you should eat more carrots, sweet peppers, scallions, garlic, spinach, and orange fruits, eat more fish, and drink tea regularly to reduce smoking hazards.
