Hello everyone, here is to chat about health daily, sharing health tips with everyone every day.
After a couple grows old, the most important thing is mutual support and companionship. Many middle-aged people who have lost their partners will remarry to find a companion for their old age. In daily life, it is not difficult to notice that in most elderly couples, it is usually the man who passes away first. Why is that?
1. Unhealthy lifestyle habits
When it comes to smoking and drinking, men still make up the majority compared to women. These habits may have been with men for decades. These harmful substances silently harm our organs, and as we age, our organs deteriorate day by day, potentially leading to significant health issues.
2. High levels of stress
Both men and women in a family experience different levels of stress. Women generally contribute more to the family. Men also face pressures from household matters and work, leading to stress. Prolonged exposure to a high-stress environment can cause depression and various health issues. Men, compared to women, have difficulty expressing their emotions. Many pressures are kept inside, leading to negative effects on health. This is also a reason why men tend to pass away earlier.
3. Overusing the body
Although men have inherent physical advantages, most physical tasks are carried out by men. Engaging in physical labor over the years without adequate rest can lead to physical exhaustion as they age. Additionally, women’s monthly menstrual cycles help the body eliminate toxins from the uterus, giving them certain advantages. The organs such as the liver, kidneys, and skin bear the burden of detoxification, which is greater for men. Hence, women generally have a longer life expectancy.
