Common stumbling blocks on men's road to health

For many families, men are the pillars of the family, and the health of men is equal to the wealth of the family. However, often under the seemingly healthy appearance, many diseases are enduring. With the pressure of life on their heads and family business on their shoulders, more and more men encounter diseases during overtime, staying up late, and socializing. After analyzing the physical examination results of more than 10,000 men, experts found that the following health problems have become common stumbling blocks for men on the road to health.

Liver suffering from high sugar diet

Mr. Chen, a citizen, would never have imagined that he didn't eat much meat or drink much, but he was found to have a fatty liver during the physical examination. It turns out that I am usually busy with work, and I often use sugary drinks and high-sugar sweets as "overtime companions". Eating too much sugar can also lead to fatty liver. According to experts, among nearly 15,000 male physical examinations last year, fatty liver was the most detected.

According to experts, many fatty liver patients often only pay attention to eating less meat and drinking less alcohol, but tend to ignore eating less sugar, especially the sugar hidden in soft drinks. Studies have shown that liver disease is not only a result of obesity or fat intake, sugar is also one of the culprits. Don't think that smoking and drinking are addictive, and eating sugar can also be addictive. On the one hand, sugar will affect the hormones in the body, making the brain unable to send out the signal of fullness, the more you eat, the more you will become addicted, and you will continue to eat when you are full; on the other hand, the impact of sugar on the hormones in the body will also cause the brain to continue Send a signal to consume sugar, just like smoking and alcohol addiction, people who eat sugar will become more and more fond of sugar. So for men, no matter how busy or tired they are, they should eat less sugary drinks and foods.

"Greasy" middle-aged people pay attention to low bone mass

Experts said that among the men who participated in the physical examination, in addition to fatty liver, many high cholesterol, high blood fat, high blood sugar, and high uric acid were detected. We all know that these high indicators will affect health, while some low Indicators are often overlooked. For example, the bone mass of many men, especially middle-aged and elderly men, begins to decline, and osteoporosis increases the risk of fractures.

Experts remind that to prevent and treat osteoporosis, in addition to sun exposure, eating more calcium-rich foods, quitting smoking and drinking, you must also persist in outdoor exercise, such as brisk walking, jogging, swimming and other sports. More than 20 minutes of light should be guaranteed every day. It is recommended that the activity time be 9-10 am and 2-5 pm, because the ultraviolet A beam at this time is conducive to calcium absorption. If men do not pay attention to exercise, it will accelerate the development of osteoporosis and make fractures more likely. Physical exercise has a positive effect on the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. If patients with osteoporosis do not pay attention to exercise, their muscle strength will decrease and the stimulation to bones will be reduced. This will not only accelerate the progression of osteoporosis, but also affect the flexibility of joints.

One hair covers all ugliness, one baldness destroys everything

As the saying goes, "one hair covers all ugliness", if the hairstyle is well-groomed, it will be of great help to improve the external image. However, for many men with thinning hair, it is "one bald ruins everything". Although hair loss is not a serious disease, it will seriously affect the image of a man. According to the data of "China Hair Loss Population Survey", the male hair loss rate in my country is nearly 20%. Among them, men aged 20 to 40 are the main force of hair loss, and the fastest development is around the age of 30.

According to experts, under normal circumstances, there are new hairs and hair loss every day. Generally speaking, it is normal to lose fifty or sixty hairs every day. However, if you lose more than 100 hairs per day, you may be alert to pathological hair loss, and there are many reasons for it. Such as androgenic alopecia, neurogenic alopecia, and some people often experience increased hair loss when they are under too much mental stress. Some hair growth is affected by a variety of endocrine hormones, so when endocrine abnormalities occur, it can cause severe hair loss, such as postpartum and menopausal hair loss. In addition, severe malnutrition can even lead to diffuse hair loss.

Experts say that many alopecia patients cannot be cured for a long time, and Western medicine can't find out the problem. TCM syndrome differentiation is the physical cause, such as "the kidney's flower is in the hair, and the hair is blood." For some hair loss caused by kidney deficiency, Du Changming summed up the "three-character classic" for preventing hair loss, which is helpful for everyone to remember.

Don’t wash your hair too often, at least 2 days apart, usually once every 2 to 5 days. Washing your hair too often will damage the cuticles of the hair and make the hair dull and rough. Many people wash their hair frequently because their hair is oily, but this makes the hair dry, which stimulates the secretion of oil, making it easier to get oily and hair loss. In the non-hot season, it is best to wash once every 3 days.

Clever shampoo People with hair loss try not to use strong degreasing or alkaline shampoos to avoid dry hair and scalp necrosis. It is best to use non-acidic natural shampoos that are non-irritating to the scalp, such as pure plant shampoos with ginger, saponins, and sesame as the main ingredients. For oily hair, you can use a strong alkaline shampoo, and for dry hair, it is best to choose a nourishing shampoo.

Combing the Five Classics The hair combing here is not with a comb, but with our fingers, not the ordinary combing method, but "taking the Five Classics". First, use five fingers to press the governor meridian in the middle of the head, the bladder meridian and gallbladder meridian on both sides, add up the left and right, and there are five meridians in total. Generally, after rest, comb 3 to 5 times, each time no less than 3 to 5 minutes, and it is best to do it 3 times before going to bed at night, which can dredge the meridians, regulate nerve function, enhance secretion activity, improve blood circulation, promote The role of metabolism, hair can be nourished and grown.

Adjust diet People who are prone to hair loss should focus on intake of nutrients such as iron, sulfur, vitamin A, vitamin E and high-quality protein, and eat more crude fiber foods, and eat less fat meat and animal offal. If the diet is too greasy and the oil secretion is too much, it is easy to cause seborrheic alopecia.

Less staying up late Chinese medicine believes that the kidney is the root of hair. The filling and deficiency of kidney qi directly affect the quality of hair. Staying up late will lead to excessive consumption of kidney qi, resulting in hair loss. Therefore, friends who often feel prone to hair loss after staying up late should stay up late as little as possible.
