If people in this world desire health and longevity, they also hope to have excellent health all the time. However, life’s journey often involves many setbacks and twists, which can inevitably lead to feelings of discouragement.
Before marriage, everyone grows up under the care of their parents. But as parents grow older and weaker, and eventually at some point, they may leave. At that time, the only one accompanying you for the rest of your life is your spouse.
Speaking of couples, it is indeed the most special relationship in the world. Two individuals without any blood relation come together in the vast sea of people, weathering storms together for the next few decades. Despite arguments and quarrels, supporting each other, loving each other, growing old together – this is something many people envy.
At this point, there is a topic that most people are unwilling to discuss, which is death. It is a fact that humans are mortal, especially as they enter old age, the proximity to death becomes more apparent. Even loving couples face this issue and the possibility of separation.
During this process, some notable occurrences have drawn attention. One such observation is that in many cases, it is the male partner who passes away first. You might not have paid much attention to this issue, but upon reflection, you might notice the prevalent occurrence of this situation. Why is it that in most cases, it is the male partner who passes away first in old age? The answer may be hard to accept. Let’s analyze this further together.
Why do men often pass away before their female partners in old age? Do not underestimate the importance of health for the loved ones.
Personality differences play a role
An increasing number of studies have shown significant impacts of personality on health. Indeed, male and female personalities differ, with males often showing a tendency to be more stoic. Even if there is discontent, they may keep it bottled up inside, adhering to the idea that “real men don’t easily shed tears.”
On the other hand, females tend to express emotions more openly. Even minor grievances are often released through tears, providing a sense of relief. This emotional outlet aids in detoxification and the differences in personality can easily lead to varying states of health between partners.
Greater stress on men
Speaking of stress, males, as often the breadwinners of the family, bear higher pressures. In many families, with men primarily responsible for external work, they juggle dual pressures of work and life, feeling breathless at times.
Consequently, the burden on men, both mentally and physically, increases. In society at large, most industries and professions are predominantly male-dominated. Even successful women in careers are a rarity, culminating in high-pressure situations that can lead individuals to compromise their health. It’s not uncommon to come across news reports of sudden deaths of males due to work-related stress.
Superior physiological structure in females
While the anatomical structures are similar in both genders, there are distinct physiological differences between men and women. Women, for instance, experience menstruation monthly, which despite being viewed negatively by some, serves as an effective detoxification mechanism, aiding in eliminating toxins and waste from the body, contributing to their overall health and longevity.
In contrast, men do not have a similar detoxification process. Toxins and waste in their bodies find alternative pathways for elimination, leading to higher toxin accumulation, impacting normal blood metabolism and potentially affecting health and longevity negatively.
Unhealthy lifestyle habits
Men tend to have more unhealthy habits than women. Some men indulge in long-term smoking and drinking, posing serious health risks. Consequently, male individuals with such habits end up damaging their health foundation, gradually deteriorating their bodies.
Especially as one ages, these habits can trigger various chronic illnesses, such as vascular diseases, contributing to an overall decline in health and potentially shortening one’s lifespan.
Therefore, to achieve health and longevity, maintaining a positive and optimistic outlook on life is crucial. If feelings of pressure and dissatisfaction arise, learning to release them is essential for safeguarding one’s health. Additionally, individuals must learn to break free from unhealthy habits to enhance their overall well-being, moving closer towards longevity. Today’s discussion highlighting the longer life expectancy of women compared to men doesn’t apply universally but rather denotes a general trend. Hence, it’s essential to approach this with equanimity, fostering a positive mindset that aids in promoting overall health.
