In the past, you could quickly identify men and women by looking at their clothes and listening to their voices, but now it has become difficult. Men's cosmetics are flooding the counters of shopping malls, and sexy men's fashions are flooding the streets. They speak softly, lack self-confidence, and shrink back when encountering problems... All of this is conveying a message: men lack masculinity and are becoming less and less " "Man". What takes away a man’s masculinity? The reporter interviewed relevant experts to explain it to you one by one from the aspects of physiology, psychology, social environment and other aspects.

Androgens are fading?

At present, the overall reduction of male androgen has become an indisputable fact! Developed muscles, prominent Adam's apple, thick beard, deep voice, etc. are important physiological characteristics of a normal adult man. However, due to the interference of many unfavorable factors such as environmental pollution and changes in people's lifestyles, male hormones have decreased, which to a certain extent has led to the fact that the rugged men of the past have increasingly become the "feminine" young men today.

Men's lack of masculinity mainly manifests itself in two aspects: First, the appearance of dressing and grooming tends to be more feminine, such as growing long hair, wearing brightly colored, neutral or even feminine clothing, speaking softly, and moving slowly, etc. ; Secondly, the inner character is not decisive enough, lacks self-confidence, is afraid of taking responsibility, etc. The latter does have a certain correlation with the reduction of male hormones.

Several reasons why men are feminine

What is the reason why modern men are becoming more and more feminine? The first is environmental pollution. A comprehensive study of more than 250 scientific studies from around the world shows that males, including humans, are becoming more and more "feminine" due to chemical pollution in the environment. Pesticides, detergents, cosmetics and even food may contain natural hormones or hormone-active substances, which have a great impact on the human endocrine system.

The second is a bad lifestyle. Long-term smoking, drinking, and excessive stress can easily cause vasoconstriction and even symptoms such as cardiac ischemia. Although the effects of these factors are not particularly obvious, they may affect the endocrine system over time.

5 poisons that threaten men’s health

New poison: no exercise

Experts conducted a health survey on 932 men and found that only 96 participated in exercise at a fixed time every week, and nearly 68% chose "not to exercise." This makes men feel tired easily, their brains are slow in thinking, their mental stress increases, they become restless, and they are prone to illness.

Expert advice: Walking is the best exercise for men. You should walk briskly outdoors for 30 minutes every day. You can also do some mat exercises at home, such as push-ups and walking on the spot, to exercise your chest and abdominal muscles. Of course, exercise should also vary from person to person. Children can run more outdoors, while the elderly should avoid harsh weather, crowding, and excess. People often say that if you walk a hundred steps after a meal, you will live to be ninety-nine. Walking frequently in parks, suburbs and other places with better green environments can decompose blood sugar and calm the sympathetic nerves.

The new second poison: not seeking medical treatment

Men generally swallow the pain themselves. The survey found that nearly half of the men bought medicines to solve their problems when they were sick, and 1/3 of the men ignored these "minor problems" at all. 80% of seriously ill male patients admitted that they did not seek medical treatment for a long time, causing minor illnesses to become serious diseases, and thus missed the best early treatment period. Many units require employees to go for physical examinations, but men often don't go because they are short of time, and even hire someone to do the physical examination instead. Judging from hospital clinical data: men see a doctor 30% less frequently than women.

Expert advice: Pay attention to hygiene and reduce diseases. Paying attention to the hygiene of reproductive organs is not only a matter for women, men should also pay attention to it. Moderate cleaning is an effective way to protect the health of the male reproductive system. Underwear should be changed every day. It is best to sleep naked at night, so that the reproductive system can breathe "fresh air", especially the male testicles. At this time, it can relax and reduce the temperature, thereby enhancing testicular function.

New Three Poisons: Lack of Breakfast

Among the respondents, only 219 people ate breakfast regularly and in accordance with nutritional requirements. Skipping breakfast or cramming in a few mouthfuls has become a common phenomenon.

Expert advice: Honey, garlic, red dates, ginger, and peanuts are good for women and are also very beneficial for men. Men eat a spoonful of honey, ginger in the morning and garlic in the evening, and three dates on an empty stomach every morning. If you stick to it for a long time, it is very good for your health. In addition, the diet should not be casual. Eat more tomatoes, seafood, leeks, bananas, etc., which are all foods that are good for men's health.

The new four poisons: less communication

The survey shows that more than 41% of office workers rarely communicate with their families. Even if their family members take the initiative to care, 32% of them often adopt a coping attitude. In the absence of communication, guidance and catharsis, the mental pressure of office workers is increasing day by day.

Expert advice: Learn to relax and smile naturally. On many occasions, smiling has become an important means of social success. The prerequisite for a beautiful smile is healthy teeth, fresh breath and a relaxed expression. Mood determines action. Therefore, as a man, you must learn to relax. When you are under psychological pressure, as a man, you should be more open-minded and not worry about trivial matters. You might as well learn from Ah Q and laugh at yourself. Don't let the words "You're a man, you should hang in there!" affect a man's mental health.

The New Five Poisons: Smoking and Drinking

Men are busy socializing and have many opportunities to smoke and drink, but for the sake of career, they neglect their bodies. 90% of men said they had little health awareness when they were young.

Expert advice: Drink healthily. As the saying goes: "Drinking in the morning hurts the stomach, and drinking in the morning hurts the spleen." Avoid drinking alcohol when getting up and before going to bed. Beer and red wine are relatively nutritious, and the concentration of ethanol is average. They have varying degrees of diuretic effects. You can drink them in small amounts to avoid 65 kilograms of weight. If a person drinks 65% liquor, 1.5 taels to 2 taels a day is a safe range. In addition, if you drink it with milk or sweet drinks, the absorption rate of alcohol can be greatly reduced. Carbonated drinks will speed up the absorption of alcohol, so never mix any type of alcohol with carbonated drinks.
