What kind of man is really healthy? A list released recently gave us an answer. If you can score 7 of the following 11 criteria, you can basically be considered a truly healthy man.
1. Left and right perfect symmetry
Take a tape measure to measure the circumference of his wrist, ear and nostril. If these places are symmetrical, or the difference is within 1mm, he is a natural athlete. A study of 50 men by Liverpool scientists found that those with the most symmetrical body ran the fastest. The more balanced your body is, the better your self-control will be during strenuous exercise.
2. Fast climbing
Dr. Grayburn said: "The 'Bruce Scheme' is the most accurate and ruthless method to test the strength of the heart." It is very simple to do. Let him walk on the treadmill and gradually increase the slope of the treadmill until he can no longer walk. "Most men aged 30-40 can hold on for 9 minutes, and it would be great if they could reach 12 minutes," Dr. Grayburn concluded. Our standard is higher: 15 minutes, which means excellent cardiovascular health.
You can copy this test at home, but if his heart has ever had problems, you must get the doctor's consent. The exercise intensity of this test can cause a heart attack. The method is to walk on a horizontal treadmill at a speed of 5 km/h; Then gradually increase the slope by 5cm every 3 minutes (if your treadmill can't adjust the slope, you can also increase the speed by 1.5km/h every 3 minutes). Most men who are in good health begin to sweat after walking for seven minutes.
3. Balanced muscle strength
Most men are keen to let their muscles do excessive extrapolation exercises, such as push-ups, while few men really have balance strength. Ideally, the strength ratio of his biceps and triceps should be 1 ∶ 1, that is, if he can pull the 25 kg thruster 10 times, he should be able to push the 25 kg thruster 10 times; The strength ratio of his quadriceps and hamstring should be 3:2, that is, if he can lift his leg 10 times with a weight of 30 kg, he can press down a weight of 20 kg with his leg exactly 10 times. If his muscle strength is found to be unbalanced after this test, please strengthen the weak muscles.
4. He answered "Yes" to the following two questions
The two questions are: "Every morning, do you look forward to going to work?" "Every afternoon, do you look forward to going home?" After 30 years of practical research, Dr. Grayburn found that people who hold the positive answer have a very low risk of dying from heart disease.
