Aging is a process of life. After the age of 40, men's hormonal function and the ability of the testicles to produce sperm gradually decline, similar to the menopause in women. Previous studies have shown that male hormones generally reach their peak at the age of 20-30 and gradually decrease thereafter. There is a significant downward trend at the age of 50-60. However, male menopause is easily overlooked due to the lack of significant changes in the process, and some people even have a decrease in male hormones in their bodies, There were no symptoms of discomfort. Moreover, in middle age, toxins gradually accumulate in the body. If not excreted in a timely manner, it can be harmful to the body. Today, we will talk about how men should eat from three aspects: menopause, detoxification foods, and aphrodisiac foods.
What do men eat during menopause?
The appearance of menopause in men can be manifested in terms of body posture, where the muscles of the whole body are not as developed and strong as they were when they were young, subcutaneous fat is richer than before, and the body appears round and fat, with a significant increase in weight. This is caused by metabolic dysfunction in the body. Therefore, in terms of diet, it is necessary to reduce the consumption of foods with high sugar content, eat more foods rich in protein, calcium, and multiple vitamins, and pay attention to reasonable nutrition; Chicken, fish, and rabbit meat are easy to absorb and can be consumed appropriately; Beans and their products not only contain a large amount of plant-based proteins, but also serve as a "warehouse" for essential trace elements in the human body; Fresh vegetables can provide a large amount of vitamins and should be included as the main menu.
