How to take care of men at the age of 40 is important. For men, it is a sign of maturity and a golden period for career development. For women, taking care of children, doing household chores, and hard work have become the norm in life. However, in their busy spare time, they may overlook their own health.
Recently, a survey published by the Daily Mail in the UK showed that by the age of 40, about three-quarters of British people begin to worry about their health and regret not developing healthy lifestyle habits when they were young. 40 years old is the watershed of health! Hong Zhaoguang, Director of the Cardiovascular Disease Committee of the China Geriatric Health Association, emphasized that by the age of 40, people have been eating and drinking, and after 40, if they continue to borrow their health, they may only have to spend money to buy their lives. According to this survey in the UK, although 64% of people are starting to change their lifestyle habits, half of them are still worried that even taking immediate action will not make up for the damage to their bodies in the past.
In contrast, British health expert Lindbergh bluntly stated that there is nothing more surprising than people being prepared to throw away bad habits. As long as you start changing now, it will definitely help you become healthier and live longer.
The reporter interviewed authoritative domestic experts and summarized the most important health points to remember after the age of 40.
