Why do women live longer than men? May be due to these good habits

Everyone should have heard the statement that women live longer than men. If there are elderly people at home, you can clearly feel that women have more elderly people.

According to China's average life expectancy data, the average life expectancy of Chinese women is 77.37 years, and the average life expectancy of men is 72.38 years, which is 4.99 years higher than that of men. This is already a very obvious gap. In Japan, women's longevity age Even 6 to 7 years older than men. So why do men live significantly less than women?

First of all, the most obvious is the living habits. Most men's living habits are not as healthy as women's. There are very few women who smoke and drink all year round, while most of the middle-aged men often drink and smoke because of work entertainment or personal preferences.

We know that both nicotine and alcohol are carcinogens. Long-term smoking and drinking are very easy to induce various diseases, and the first is liver and lung diseases.

In addition, nicotine in tobacco can stimulate the nervous system, reduce appetite, increase blood pressure and blood sugar, and alcohol can also stimulate blood vessels. These are important incentives for the occurrence of three highs, and three highs are common threats to middle-aged and elderly people. disease.

Especially tableware, if it is not washed for a long time, it is likely that some microorganisms will grow in the gaps of the chopsticks and produce toxic substances, which will be difficult to wash off at this time, and these toxic substances are very harmful to health, such as yellow koji. Substances such as mycin even have strong carcinogenicity, which may not be visible in the short term, and the harm will gradually appear over time.

In addition, women tend to be more regular in their lives and focus on maintaining health. Men may be more informal and casual. It is more common to drink or play cards all night. They often stay up late and get up at noon the next day. Irregular life will seriously harm our immune system, thereby harming the normal operation of our body and causing cells and organs to age faster.

Finally, when men eat, they usually gobble and eat quickly, but women eat relatively slowly. Rough eating habits actually cause great harm to our stomach and intestines. Slow down is the best way to eat for our health.

In short, there are many unhealthy aspects of men’s living habits compared with women’s. Some studies have also shown that married men’s life expectancy is significantly higher than that of single men. Therefore, if men want to improve their life expectancy, they must pay attention to improving their own life. Way.
