In recent years, as people’s living conditions have improved, the pursuit of longevity has become increasingly apparent. However, due to some people’s daily lifestyle and dietary habits, they often shorten their own lifespan.
According to research, the average lifespan of women is generally higher than that of male friends, and this is influenced by various factors. The societal pressure on men is indeed significant, coupled with irregular eating habits, making men more prone to disease.
But the reasons for the shorter lifespan of men are viable, often stemming from their habits. Men with shorter lifespans generally have four habits that, if changed, would be beneficial.
Men with shorter lifespans often “love doing” these things. If you want to live longer, please gradually give them up.
Chronic constipation
With the improvement of living conditions, work pressures have increased significantly, and many male friends neglect their dietary habits, leading to prolonged suffering from constipation for most men.
As men age, their digestive system deteriorates, exacerbating constipation. Food staying undigested in the intestines for prolonged periods can be absorbed by the intestines.
Constipation worsens over time. To truly pursue longevity, men must change their diet, consume easier-to-digest foods, incorporate more coarse grains to enhance intestinal motility, help expel intestinal waste, and relieve constipation.
Crossing legs
Crossing legs seems to be a habit many people enjoy. Whether male or female, individuals often unconsciously cross their legs while sitting, sometimes without realizing the potential harm.
However, prolonged leg crossing is extremely detrimental to health. It can distort the hips, exert great pressure on the spine and neck, and enhance pressure on the other leg, affecting blood circulation. This can easily lead to varicose veins in the lower limbs.
Being under constant leg pressure increases blood flow to the heart, which can negatively impact health over time, shortening lifespan. To extend your lifespan, gradually abandon these bad habits.
Skipping breakfast
With high work pressures and fast-paced lifestyles, individuals often stay up late working overtime and prefer sleeping a little longer in the morning, leading them to skip breakfast.
Compensating for breakfast during lunch and dinner is a common mistake. Missing a meal throughout the day is unhealthy. Research shows that individuals who neglect breakfast shorten their lifespan by an average of 2.5 years.
Studies indicate that skipping breakfast leads to the brain signaling for high-calorie intake, increasing the likelihood of consuming junk food during lunch and dinner. This, over time, invites various diseases. To achieve longevity, cease these habits.
Failure to regulate emotions
Emotions influence your physical health status. People with negative emotions have a higher likelihood of falling ill. When under great pressure, many men experience negative emotions but hesitate to express them, often keeping them bottled up.
Long-term suppression of negative feelings can lead to psychological illnesses and increase the risk of depression, severely affecting both physical and mental health over time.
To extend one’s lifespan, men must eliminate this detrimental behavior. When feeling uncomfortable, ensure to confide in others promptly and engage in conversations.
