Men with shorter lifespans generally share these “common traits” before going to sleep, changing even one would be an improvement.
For a long time, lifespan has been a topic of great concern for people. Although with the improvement of living conditions, people’s lifespans have greatly extended, the desire for longevity will never be satisfied. As the saying goes, health is the foundation of revolution. Only by living long can we enjoy a more diverse life and experience a richer existence. Therefore, almost everyone is trying every possible way to live a little longer. Some people engage in continuous exercise, while others spend large amounts of money on various health supplements. However, the results are often not very ideal, because longevity does not depend solely on running for a few days or consuming expensive supplements.
Our research shows that those who are overly concerned with longevity generally find it difficult to achieve it. In contrast, those who are indifferent to lifespan tend to live genuinely longer lives. This is largely related to daily habits and personal mindset, both of which are key factors that determine lifespan. Moreover, gender also affects longevity, with men having a generally shorter average lifespan, which is closely tied to their various bad habits.
Men with shorter lifespans generally share these “common traits” before going to sleep, changing even one would be an improvement.
Not brushing teeth before bed
Brushing teeth has become a normal part of our daily routine, intended to ensure the health of our teeth and mouth. Normally, the first thing we do in the morning is brush our teeth because not doing so can lead to unpleasant breath and difficulty eating. However, many people consider brushing their teeth before bed to be optional. Most women insist on brushing their teeth before sleeping, while men tend to do the opposite. Yet, we consume a lot of food during the day, which can easily leave residue in the mouth. If we don’t brush before bed, bacteria may proliferate in the mouth and could even enter the body. This might result in mild tooth pain or, in severe cases, impact blood sugar levels and heart function.
Having a cigarette before bed
Many men enjoy smoking a cigarette right after waking up, thinking it quickly revitalizes their body. Little do they know that smoking in the morning is actually more harmful. Additionally, many men have the habit of smoking a cigarette before bed, believing it helps relax their body. However, at this time, the body’s defenses against nicotine are very weak, which not only affects sleep quality but may also raise blood pressure and accelerate heart rate.
Playing with a phone before bed
It must be said that mobile phones have become an indispensable part of our lives, and many people carry them everywhere, even to bed. Many people are accustomed to playing with their phones before sleeping, thinking it aids sleep. However, when we browse information on our phones, our brain remains in an active state, making it difficult to fall asleep. This not only damages our eyesight but also leads to sleep deprivation and accelerates bodily aging.
Getting angry before bed
To maintain a family’s livelihood, men must invest all their energy into work during the day, which inevitably leads to high levels of stress. Thus, when they return home, their emotions can become unstable. However, getting angry before sleeping not only causes the body to tense up and increases blood flow but can also harm various organs, such as the liver. Naturally, this significantly impacts overall lifespan.
