Although men’s lifespan is generally lower than women’s, sticking to these habits may help to extend it.
As we all know, over the past couple of years, as people’s lives have improved, attention to health and longevity has also increased. Since life expectancy is something unpredictable, and we cannot stop the growth of life, what we can do is to do our utmost to slow down aging. The specific methods vary from person to person, but most people hope to achieve the best results through the simplest means. This has created promotional opportunities for many health products. It cannot be said that these health products have no effect, but their results are often minimal.
There are many factors that determine lifespan, such as genetic inheritance, lifestyle habits, and living environment. According to data from the past couple of years, the average lifespan of men is around 71 years, while that of women is around 76 years, a difference of exactly five years. Many people wonder if this is a fundamental difference between genders. In fact, it is not. Ultimately, it is because men generally pay less attention to their health and have more unhealthy habits than women. If we identify the root causes, bridging this gap is not particularly difficult.
Although men’s lifespan is generally lower than women’s, sticking to these habits may help to extend it.
Consistent exercise
Today’s work patterns and life pressures mean that men spend most of their time in the office, sitting in front of computers, leaving little time for physical exercise. This is why men’s physical fitness has generally declined in our country over the past couple of years. Exercise can effectively enhance physical fitness, increase cellular vitality, and slow down the aging speed of various organ functions, thereby naturally extending lifespan slightly.
Eat more chives
Chives are known as the herb that invigorates yang and promotes longevity, and they have significant nutritional benefits for men. For men, the most important organ in the body is undoubtedly the kidneys, as they determine hormonal secretion and immune strength. Chives contain rich vitamins and essential trace elements, which can effectively invigorate blood circulation and nourish the kidneys, thus delaying physical aging.
Adequate sleep
Although gender equality has been emphasized, men generally bear higher pressures in work and life than women, leading to varying degrees of sleep disorders. Long-term lack of sleep can easily disrupt hormonal balance and weaken immunity. Adequate sleep strengthens the vitality of all organs in the body, allowing them to work more harmoniously and enhancing resistance to diseases.
Proper intimacy between couples
The purpose of intimacy between couples is not only to satisfy physical needs but also to provide numerous health benefits. First, it promotes the brain’s secretion of dopamine, relieving physical tension and reducing stress. It also stimulates internal hormonal balance, effectively preventing various male health issues. More importantly, it can delay physical aging, but the frequency of intimacy should be well controlled.
Nutritionists’ viewpoint: In fact, physical health is just one requirement for longevity; it also includes an optimistic mindset and strong immunity among others. Only when all these factors are met can one gain the favor of longevity. Therefore, I hope men can change those bad habits in their lives, for the sake of longevity and health.
