In recent years, male diseases have been increasing, and the average age of life expectancy has also decreased year by year. The following editor will take a look at the major factors that affect male longevity and tell you some tips for longevity.
Two factors affect men's lifespan
1. Men who don't shave often have a higher prevalence than men who shave every day
Researchers report in the American Journal of Infectious Diseases that 835 people have died in the 20 year study. Overall, 45% of those who don't shave daily die, while 31% of those who shave at least once a day die. "Not that daily shaving is associated with a higher number of deaths, but also with more smokers and poor living habits. Although this does not explain why they have a higher risk of stroke, it also shows that frequent shaving is associated with a higher risk of illness," the researchers said.
2. In addition to shaving, men's lifespan is also related to hormones
The research results show that most people who do not shave daily are unmarried and mostly blue-collar workers; They enjoy fewer orgasms, are shorter in stature, and are prone to angina.
In addition, Professor Shah Ebrahim of the Department of Social Medicine said in a statement, "Those who do not shave regularly have a higher mortality rate, which may be caused by smoking and some social factors, but a small proportion may be affected by hormones." He said that men who do not shave daily enjoy orgasms less, possibly because their male hormones are lower or simply because they are unmarried, so they have fewer opportunities to engage in sexual activity.
As for the high risk of stroke, one possible explanation is that their circulating levels of sexual hormones may affect the degree of fat deposition in the arteries.
Stick to 5 things every day and live 10 more years
1. Maintain 1.5 hours of unconscious physical activity per day instead of deliberate physical exercise.
The oldest people often live in areas where living conditions are not convenient, but it is this harsh living environment that gives them the most satisfactory returns. They need to walk to the shops, go home, and visit friends, which gives them a lot of opportunities to exercise physically. People living in longevity areas all follow a sports style that focuses on productive and living labor. For example, male centenarians in Sardinia, Italy, can still farm.
2. Living with children who care for the elderly.
Long lived elderly people live in a large family that cares for the elderly, living together with their descendants. This is not only for better care, but also for the smooth functioning of the extended family. For example, they grow vegetables, cook three meals a day, and clean up their houses. This shows a powerful dual effect: their descendants can benefit from the diligence and wisdom of their elders, and centenarians also gain the motivation to maintain physical activity from the youthful vitality of their descendants. They never stay at home and do nothing.
3. Have a clear life goal and an optimistic attitude towards life.
Most of the long-lived people have spiritual beliefs. Even those who do not believe in religion, their cheerful and optimistic mental state makes them less depressed, have stronger immunity and lower incidence rate of heart disease. They often have strong and extensive social interaction and support, and have clear life goals.
4. Eat more beans and less meat.
For the elderly, meat is more like a seasoning, twice a week, in a small amount, the size of a deck of playing cards. They mainly eat plant based foods and consume a large amount of legumes and nuts. Longevity elderly people usually consume more food and nutrients for breakfast, while the amount of dinner is the smallest; The amount of food consumed during the day is distributed in an inverted pyramid.
5. Slow down the pace of life and take time to rest.
Longevity elderly people maintain a "slow beat" pace of life, chew their meals slowly, do things calmly, do not let themselves fall into excessive busyness, and ensure daily leisure and entertainment time. Stress is the most harmful factor to human health. Chronic stress can cause the formation of chronic inflammation, leading to premature aging of the body.
