These habits of men may pose a “threat” to health, to live longer, they need to correct them early.
The sudden death rate in China is increasing, many people die inexplicably without knowing it, leaving this world. In fact, most of the sudden deaths are heart-related. In our country, the number of sudden deaths in men is significantly higher than in women. But shouldn’t men’s physical fitness be better than that of women? Why does this happen? However, indeed, the rate of sudden death in men is much higher because men have many bad habits and unhealthy preferences, such as smoking and drinking alcohol, which are very harmful to the body. Smoking for a long time will leave a lot of nicotine substances in the body, these retained substances are easily damaged to the blood vessels, increasing the risk of sudden death. Many men have habits that may lead to sudden death, such as the following:
1. Like to engage in extreme sports, but do not exercise regularly.
Nowadays, many men have high work pressure and need to release the pressure. Many people choose intense sports activities like basketball or even bungee jumping to release emotions. However, if the physical fitness is not good, problems may arise during exercise, such as dizziness, chest pain, and shortness of breath. Although intense exercise can release emotions, it also increases the body’s stress. The heart cannot bear such a burden. During intense exercise, the blood vessels are in a state of rapid constriction, causing an increase in blood pressure, making the heart vulnerable, increasing the risk of sudden death.
2. Staying up late for a long time.
Many people think they are still young and need to work hard at this age without giving up their pursuit for pleasure. However, staying up late for a long time has become a major mainstream reason for sudden death. Many people who work overtime and stay up late are young people who do not take care of their bodies. Sudden death has no signs. At that critical moment in life, they may lose consciousness. Staying up late for a long time leads to a tense mental state, with the brain and heart constantly working at a high rate without rest, making arrhythmias likely to occur. Therefore, staying up late for a long time can easily lead to sudden death. Excessive fatigue can also lead to sudden cardiac death. Therefore, it is important to maintain regular sleep patterns, ensuring stable sleep every day is crucial. The body will adapt to this intensity, ensuring good health.
3. Drinking cold water directly after intense exercise.
After high-intensity exercise, many men choose to cool down by drinking cold beverages. However, the body is already in a state of high fatigue, and the blood vessels are dilated. At this time, blood supply to the brain is inadequate. Drinking cold beverages not only burdens the stomach but also the brain. Many young people do not consider whether their bodies can handle it and insist on challenging such limits, leading to a serious risk of sudden death. Besides drinking cold beverages, showers with cold water are also harmful. Cold showers can stimulate blood supply, and the consequences are intolerable. If they only end up in the hospital, it’s still a minor issue, but if it results in death, it’s not worth it.
From a nutrition perspective: Women are better off in this regard; they don’t have such demands, and they know their bodies can only handle so much. Therefore, men should take care of their lives. Sudden death won’t come looking for you; it’s a consequence of your own actions. Your body is yours, so pay more attention to it. Even if it’s for work, you shouldn’t overextend your body. No matter how much money you earn from work, losing your health loses its meaning. It’s impossible to get back a healthy body, and there may be sequelae. Take care of yourself regularly, don’t let a moment of pleasure lead to irreversible consequences.
