Myth 1: It's too early to worry about heart disease
Doctors believe that heart and arterial diseases may actually begin in youth, but when symptoms such as significant shortness of breath occur after the age of 50, the situation becomes very serious. Men should maintain a normal weight, maintain low cholesterol levels, and exercise regularly at a young age.
Myth 2: Not afraid of sunlight
According to a survey by the American Cancer Society, men have a high rate of skin cancer because they do not pay attention to using sunscreen. Doctors suggest that men over 40 should wear high coefficient sunscreen in strong sunlight.
Myth 3: Dental disease is a trivial matter
More and more studies have found a certain link between periodontal disease and heart disease. Oral infections can increase blood viscosity, causing a decrease in blood supply to the heart. Therefore, it is very important to maintain dental hygiene and prevent dental diseases.
Myth 4 Weight lifting is all about exercise
Health doctors say that weight lifting is a good exercise, but not the entire content of exercise. Aerobic exercise is more effective in ensuring heart and muscle health and increasing body flexibility.
Myth 5: Seeing a doctor is more frightening than getting cancer
Professor Crawford said, "Many men do not like doctors, even are afraid of seeing them, and do not undergo regular physical examinations on time. In fact, many diseases are delayed." He recommended that men over the age of 40 learn about their family history and regularly examine important organs such as the prostate. Early detection of diseases and early treatment can achieve good results.
Myth 6: Only Women Have Midlife Crisis
Doctors say men also face middle-aged physical changes, reduced hormone levels, muscle weight loss, and osteoporosis. The medical profession is already developing methods of hormone therapy for men. Although this treatment is just beginning, it has positive significance for men to maintain energy, improve work efficiency, and maintain family stability.
