According to a large number of scientific data studies, men generally live less than women. The reasons for the shortened life expectancy of men are mainly chronic health problems such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that yang qi is the "root" of men. If the yang fails, it may lead to the occurrence of various diseases. When the yang is exhausted, our life ends. This shows how important yang is to male friends.
It is said that "knowing one's life at the age of fifty" is a particularly important thing for male friends to maintain sufficient yang qi. On the one hand, men rely on a lot of yang to keep their bodies functioning. After the age of fifty, the body is more likely to lose yang, especially in daily life, many people have a variety of bad habits, which also makes yang easier to be "consumed".
Remind male friends: these 4 "yang-consuming" behaviors may cause damage to health and should be corrected in time
1. Stay up late for a long time
At night, all functions of our body need to replenish yang qi by sleeping. If we stay up late for a long time, not only will we lose our yang, but it will also lead to more diseases over time. It can be said that staying up late is the number one "natural enemy" that consumes yang qi. If you still stay up late every day playing mobile phones, games or watching TV, please rest early. Without resting at the right time, our bodies will also get worse and worse.
2. Overwork
Modern life is fast-paced and stressful, and as the backbone of the family, men are under even greater pressure. If you work hard under high pressure for a long time, it will lead to overwork of the body, which will not only lead to anxiety, but also damage the yang in the body, and over time, the imbalance of yin and yang in the body will damage the health of the body. Therefore, male friends must pay attention to the combination of work and rest in life to avoid excessive fatigue and affect health.
3. Long-term sedentary
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that movement is yang and stillness is yin. It is only through exercise that the yang in our body can rise and become sufficient. Therefore, if we are often sedentary or lying still, it is easy to cause the yang to be exhausted. At the same time, if you sit for a long time, it will also make the blood circulation at the base of the thighs poor, and the incidence of some male diseases will also increase.
4. High mental pressure
In this day and age, men face tremendous pressure. If negative emotions are not resolved for a long time, it will inevitably affect the circulation of qi and blood of the five internal organs. For example, if the kidneys do not get the maintenance of qi and blood, it will affect their normal function, and people are prone to yang deficiency symptoms such as fatigue, chills, cold limbs, and paleness. Therefore, men also need to maintain a good attitude and release stress appropriately.
