Most men love cars. They will take great care of their cars, but they are careless about their own bodies. The average life span of men is 6 years shorter than that of women, because the risk of death from cardiovascular disease and cancer is more than four times that of women. One reason is that they often ignore the "overhaul" signal sent by their bodies. To this end, the British Daily Mail published a health self-test Q&A developed by several health experts on February 9 to help men understand their physical condition. Even if only one question fails, it means that your body needs to be repaired.
Question 1: Is it difficult to breathe in cold weather?
Answer "No", pass; Answer "Yes", warning.
Dyspnea means that the heart is forced to increase its workload. If you feel that the heart is under pressure at the same time, you should pay attention. Ryan Simpson, a cardiologist at the British Cardiovascular Association, stressed that if you feel dyspnea and chest pain and tightness in cold weather, after eating or when you are physically exhausted, it may be an alarm caused by narrowing of the artery.
Response: ECG can be taken to detect cardiac activity, and stress test can also be carried out.
TIPS: An experiment conducted by researchers from the University of Forrester School of Medicine in the United States showed that rats who ate more cauliflower, carrots, green beans, peas and corn every day had a much lower proportion of narrowing of their arteries than those who did not eat them. It turns out that these vegetables have the effect of inhibiting arteriosclerosis. Arteriosclerosis hardens and narrows the arteries, which may lead to heart disease and stroke. Studies have found that people who eat more vegetables have a lower risk of heart disease.
Chronic inflammation of blood vessels is believed to be the cause of arteriosclerosis. Studies have shown that plant compound polyphenols have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. In addition, vegetables are also rich in vitamins and have the function of antioxidants, that is, they can neutralize the free radicals that destroy cells.
The study focused on cauliflower, carrots, green beans, peas and corn, partly because these are the most common vegetables eaten in the United States. Other vegetables are likely to have similar anti-atherosclerotic effects, but it is still necessary to study.
Question 2: Do you often get up at night?
Answer "No", pass; Answer "Yes", warning.
Irregular waking up may be due to the following reasons: first, the growth of age makes the muscles more weak; The second reason is drinking a lot of coffee, caffeinated drinks, alcohol or sleep disorders. If there is internal urgency, but the urine volume is very small, and the urine or semen contains blood, this may be urinary tract infection, prostatitis, or even cancer.
