55 years old is the golden period of a man’s life, but also a “hurdle” in life.
After the age of 55, the various functions of the male body gradually decline, coupled with bad habits and dietary habits, will lead to a gradual decrease in immunity, allowing bacteria and viruses to take advantage and cause diseases.
If this period can be safely passed, then enjoy retirement in the later years. However, if health is not taken care of during this time, your physical fitness may deteriorate gradually, even affecting your lifespan.
After the age of 55, it’s a hurdle in life for men. For health, some things must be endured.
The first thing: smoking heavily
Each cigarette smoked shortens life by 7 minutes, a new pack of cigarettes shortens life by 2 hours and 17 minutes. Imagine how much your lifespan is shortened if you have the habit of heavy smoking after 55?
According to relevant statistics, 9 out of 10 patients who die of lung cancer are smokers, with 20-30% being male smokers and only 3-5% female smokers.

The second thing: sexual relationship with spouse
Sexual relationship with a spouse is a common topic involving marital life.
It’s a basic human need, and for men over 55, it’s about moderation.
If there is no sexual life after 55, it not only affects physical health but also causes certain psychological impact. It may even lead to the breakdown of marital relationships.
If there is no control after 55, it will damage the essence of the kidneys, consume vital energy, leading to various diseases, greatly impacting the body, even shortening lifespan. What is the best frequency?

For a 40-year-old, it should be 30 days 6 times, i.e., 4 x 9 = 36; and so on…
The third thing: prolonged sitting
The World Health Organization has pointed out that over 2 million people worldwide die each year due to prolonged sitting, and it’s estimated that by 2020, 70% of diseases will be caused by prolonged sitting.
Prolonged sitting has been listed as one of the top ten killers of life-threatening diseases. Most office workers have to work in front of a computer, some even sit all day, which can raise the temperature in your groin, cause prostate diseases, slow down blood circulation, making it difficult for toxins and wastes to be eliminated smoothly.
[For good health, “move along with motion” is a must!]:
Research shows that exercising for an hour or longer daily can counteract the health damage caused by sitting for 8 hours or more a day.
Especially now, many people find it hard to avoid long periods of sitting due to office work, making exercise crucial. For example, a walk at lunchtime, choosing to walk or bike to work…
If you work in an office, stand up to get a glass of water or walk around the restroom for a few minutes every hour, which can improve work efficiency and prevent bodily harm.
