October 28th is World Men’s Health Day, and “men’s health” and “healthy men” will once again attract everyone’s attention. So today, when life has greatly improved and medicine is highly developed, do men, who are the pillars of society and the backbone of the family, have health concerns?

Relevant data show that a survey on the health status of more than 1,000 urban middle-aged men in Shanghai, Wuxi, Shenzhen and other places showed that 66% of them had insomnia, dreaminess, and difficulty falling asleep; 66% of those suffered from frequent back pain. 62%; 58% feel tired as soon as they work; 57% feel strenuous when climbing stairs or have obvious memory loss; 48% have dry skin, dull complexion, bad temper, and anxiety.

A survey report on the death situation of residents in Beijing in the past 10 years shows that the number of deaths in the 40 to 59-year-old group has increased by 2.4 times in 10 years. Among them, the mortality rate for men aged 40 to 49 increased by 73% in 10 years, and for women it increased by 15%. As the "backbone" of the family, family members should pay more attention to the physical health of middle-aged men.

Sub-health that cannot be ignored

The word sub-health is mentioned more and more by people. So, what is sub-health? Chen Feisong from the Beijing Sub-health Prevention and Control Association said that sub-health is a free state between health and disease. If you take proper care, you can hope to return to a healthy state, but if it is allowed to develop, it will lead to the occurrence of disease. Therefore, we must pay attention to sub-health status. The early manifestations or precursors of many diseases are in sub-health states, such as chronic fatigue, unexplained pain, etc. For sub-health conditions, we must first find out the reasons and adopt reasonable health care in order to effectively improve the sub-health conditions.

Modern people are busy at work and highly competitive, and they are also very busy after get off work. The dual pressure of work and life often forces oneself to have no way out and nowhere to rest. There are too many people who work crazy and don’t pay attention to rest. This phenomenon of disrespecting health is not only in China, but also in the world. .

It is understood that if this disorder continues to develop, it can enter a "subclinical" state, and the proportion of people over 35 years old will increase sharply. The symptoms are complex and can include chronic fatigue or persistent psychosomatic disorders. Various symptoms last for more than 2 months, and are often accompanied by chronic sore throat, repeated colds, lack of energy, etc. Some experts summarize its complex manifestations into three types of decline: loss of vitality, loss of responsiveness and loss of adaptability. Judging from clinical testing, such groups in cities tend to have "three highs and one low", that is, they have near-critical levels of hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, high blood viscosity, and low immune function.

Another more direct and terrifying name for this kind of sub-healthy state of hard work is "death from overwork." Medically speaking, it is "sudden death". The famous crosstalk actor Hou Yaowen died suddenly at his home in Changping, Beijing; the famous crosstalk actor Ma Ji died suddenly at home, etc. These are all the consequences of overwork and accumulation over time. This is because of long working hours, increased labor intensity, high psychological pressure, and the existence of a sub-healthy state of exhaustion. Due to the accumulation of hard work, it will suddenly cause an acute deterioration of potential physical diseases, and untimely treatment will endanger life. "Sudden death" usually has the typical symptoms of angina pectoris such as short-term severe pain in the chest area before the onset, or a feeling of choking and discomfort in the throat, and difficulty in swallowing; some people may also be accompanied by sweating. The most common signs are general weakness, People with chest tightness must go to the hospital for examination.

The “unspeakable secret” of male diseases

Chen Feisong pointed out that men’s heavy workload and mental stress are indeed important reasons, but they are by no means the only ones. Other factors such as nutritional imbalance, environmental pollution, viral infection, endocrine disorders, metabolic disorders, parasitic infections, etc. cannot be ignored. These factors may interact, influence each other, and be mutually aggravating factors. For example, emotional stress can lead to difficulty sleeping. Long-term sleep difficulties can also cause suppression of immune function. Suppression of immune function can cause intestinal infection. Intestinal infection can cause reduced absorption of vitamins and other nutrients. In turn, malnutrition can cause suppression of immune function. and other problems. In short, if these processes occur repeatedly and form a vicious cycle, they will eventually lead to body failure.

Human society is composed of men and women, and men’s health is related to human development. In the past, men’s health issues did not receive as much attention as women’s health. When it came to family planning, people were accustomed to treating women as the “target group” while ignoring the role men played in family planning, reproductive health decision-making and behavior. However, a large number of social surveys and medical statistics at home and abroad show that more and more diseases are approaching men quickly and continue to seriously threaten men's physical and mental health. For example, prostatitis (the incidence rate among men aged 20 to 50 is as high as 20% to more than 40%), sexual dysfunction, prostatic hyperplasia, hypertension, diabetes, fatigue syndrome, obesity syndrome, hair loss, baldness, etc. It all seems like men are more vulnerable. This is also true. The average life span of men worldwide is 2 to 3 years shorter than that of women. What is worrying is that men’s health awareness is generally weak. A survey shows that men see a doctor 28% less frequently than women; 90% of men say they have no awareness and habits of health check-ups; 20% of men seldom or never participate in physical exercise; 80% of sick men admit that they are Because minor illnesses were not treated, they eventually turned into serious illnesses, and the best treatment period was missed. Therefore, it is urgent to pay attention to men's health and comprehensively improve men's health awareness.

Physical and mental fatigue are “connected with flesh and blood”

According to a survey of 500 adult men, more than 60% of men have psychological problems, especially middle-aged men. , it can be seen that in the face of the attack of sub-health, we must also pay attention to the relief of psychological pressure. Expert Li Xinran from the Beijing Psychological Society believes that society, work units, and families must care about and protect men's physical and mental health. At the same time, men should treat their own psychological problems correctly, pay attention to strengthening protection, and avoid turning small problems into big problems.

Li Xinran believes that the public’s expectations of men are too high. Parents hope that their children will succeed, their wives hope that their husbands will succeed, and their children will hope that their fathers will succeed. The increasingly accelerated pace of life and competitive work pressure have become a psychological issue for urban men. The bane of disease. The traditional concept is that men can only be recognized by everyone if they have a successful career. If work does not go well or there is a temporary setback, they will be particularly psychologically stressed.

In addition, according to accepted standards, men are strong and should bear everything, and the result will inevitably affect their physical and mental health. After some men experience psychological stress, they often use unhealthy methods to relieve their distress, such as smoking, drinking, driving fast, playing crazy video games, etc. As a result, the stress is not relieved, but instead affects their health.

According to Li Xinran, men’s psychological problems are excessive pressure, which are mainly manifested in: first, the fear of losing physical health; second, many men are afraid of problems in their careers and work; third, men are concerned about their physical strength. Worries about decline and weakened sexual ability are much stronger than among women; fourth, many men often worry about being abandoned.

Therefore, men must not only replenish physical nutrition, but also replenish psychological "nutrition". The most important spiritual "nutrient" is first of all love. Secondly, you must learn to vent and channel your emotions, and you must have strong beliefs and ideals.

What are the main criteria for maintaining a healthy state of men’s health? Various countries, regions, and ethnic groups have different understandings and different standards. Liu Qingchun, an expert from the Healthy China Lecture Working Committee, pointed out that men’s health must be viewed comprehensively. First of all, regular physical examinations are required. Most men don’t like to go to the doctor and always think that they have nothing wrong with them. However, according to statistics, 80% of seriously ill patients admit that they have not gone to the hospital for a long time, and minor illnesses have been mistaken for serious illnesses. They are forced to go to the hospital only when heart disease, cerebral hemorrhage and other diseases occur. As a result, they have missed the best opportunity for treatment. Secondly, you must have a balanced diet. If men want a good body, they must have a good mouth. Correct eating habits are to ensure a daily intake of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans, fish, lean meats and various nuts. Men generally have heavier tastes, especially men who like to drink. They generally like to eat greasy and fried foods, which can easily lead to weight gain and increase the risk of vascular diseases. Therefore, men should also eat light food when dining, eat more vegetable oil and less animal oil, eat more garlic and fish, and drink an appropriate amount of red wine. This can reduce the cholesterol content in the body. At the same time, you should relax your body and mind. A man who is full of vigor, hard work and vitality always gives people a sense of health and upwardness, while a man who looks old-fashioned and full of dull and pedantic thoughts is destined to leave a depressed impression. No matter how busy you are, you should take a break and give your body and mind a chance to completely relax and breathe. This is a "magic weapon" for you to be kind to yourself and relieve stress. You should also quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption. Smoking will directly harm people's health and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, lung cancer and respiratory diseases. It is best for men not to smoke if they want to be healthy. But if you have been "smoking" for a long time and cannot quit for a while, it is best to eat more fish, carrots, bell peppers, spinach, onions, garlic and orange fruits, and drink tea regularly, which can help you to a certain extent. To reduce the harm of smoking to the body, do not drink excessively. Finally, try to get married before the age of 30, because research shows that the health status of single men is worse than that of married men, which shows that marriage is very important to men. A married man has a sense of belonging. Generally speaking, a married man becomes more mature, steady, healthy and progressive.
