Due to the differences in gender, there are some foods that are suitable for men but not for women. The following foods are harmful to men's health, so it is important to learn to say no. Let's take a look together!
Men should say "NO" to the following foods:
1. Fatty meat
Red meat (beef, bacon, sausages, lunch meat) weakens your strength.
The saturated fat and cholesterol in fatty meat narrow the blood vessels, including those that deliver blood to the sexual organs. This leads to inadequate blood supply to the penis during sexual intercourse, making it difficult to reach orgasm!
2. High-fat milk
Men who consume more than 600 mg of calcium daily through dairy products have a 32% higher risk of prostate cancer compared to those who consume less than 150 mg of calcium daily.
Excessive intake of calcium inhibits the level of vitamin D in the blood.
Vitamin D is not only an important nutrient, but also a hormone that prevents the proliferation of prostate cancer cells, thus preventing prostate cancer.
3. Refined flour
Refined flour is commonly found in white bread and candies, which may taste good but lack nutrition.
During the process of refining whole wheat into refined flour, zinc is lost by three-quarters. However, zinc is crucial for sexual desire and reproductive health.
The highest zinc reserve in the body is in the prostate, and a diet high in zinc helps prevent prostate enlargement.
4. Soybeans
While women can consume soybeans to increase estrogen, men who frequently consume soybeans may elevate their estrogen levels, thereby affecting male characteristics.
Research suggests that the chemical components in soybeans can "mimic" the function of the estrogen estradiol, leading to a decrease in sperm count.
5. Fried foods
The fat in fried foods is trans fat. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) states that trans fatty acids increase "bad cholesterol" in the body, increasing the risk of heart disease.
Trans fatty acids also reduce male hormone secretion, negatively affecting sperm and interrupting their function in the body.
Foods that are beneficial for men's health:
1. Apples
Men are three times more likely to suffer from coronary heart disease than women.
Dutch scientists have found that eating one apple a day can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease by 50%.
2. Oranges
Men have a higher rate of gastric usage and a higher risk of stomach cancer compared to women.
Australian medical experts have found that eating two citrus fruits a day can reduce the risk of stomach cancer by 50%.
3. Watermelon
Watermelon contains a large amount of citrulline, which has a similar pharmacological effect as "Viagra".
Eating more watermelon is beneficial for men, but men with poor gastrointestinal function should consume it in moderation.
Because watermelon has a cooling effect, excessive consumption may have an impact on the gastrointestinal system.
4. Grapes
Men have a higher probability of heart disease and stroke compared to women.
By simply eating 10 grapes a day, preferably with the skin, the problem can be easily resolved.
