Men's health is not optimistic now. All kinds of stress and natural aging make men gradually feel powerless, and many men don't care about their bodies and don't care. For a long time, men are prone to various physical problems that affect the quality of work and life.

What is a healthy male? After a long struggle, health experts have released a list of health standards. Experts say they will be considered "truly fit" men if they can meet six of the ten health criteria.

Standard 1. Male body mass index: no more than 25

Typically, men gain weight slowly, but height and body mass index (BMI, or weight divided by height squared) should not exceed 25. A BMI of 18.5 to 23.9 is normal. Over 25 is overweight and over 28 is obese. Healthy weight control for men is a big issue in staying healthy, and getting older should not be an excuse to gain weight.

Standard 2. Male arm strength: can do at least 10 push-ups

Arm strength reflects the health of upper body muscle strength. Increasing arm strength can improve physical fitness. The push-up test is usually used. Note that the fingers are forward, the distance between the hands and the hands is the same as the shoulder width, and the shoulders and elbows should be at the same level when the body is bent down. A 40-year-old man should have at least 10. The easiest way to build arm strength is to lift dumbbells.

Standard 3. Male grip strength: at least 40 kg

Grip strength can reflect the overall health of the body. American scientists have followed nearly 6,000 men for more than 40 years and found that those who live longer tend to have stronger grips. Grip strength of less than 25kg in men was associated with a higher risk of specific diseases, with a 22% increase in heart disease, a 24% increase in respiratory disease and a 10% increase in mortality from all cancers.

Standard 4. Male leg strength: 19 squats in 30 seconds

If you lack exercise, leg strength will naturally decline. Cross your hands in front of your chest, sit on a chair without armrests, keep your legs apart and shoulder width apart; then stand up, straighten your knees completely, sit down again, and repeat; under the condition that your waist and knees don't hurt, do the math. How many times can you do in 30 seconds. The average healthy man can do it 19 times.

Standard 5. Male flexibility: Bend over and touch your toes

Good flexibility enhances the flexibility of the body, prevents premature aging of muscles and delays skin laxity. Bend over and stand upright, can you feel your toes? This simple movement can detect your body's flexibility as quickly as possible. Be careful if your hands down position is much higher than your peers.

Standard 6, male balance: stand on one leg for 7 seconds

Joints and muscles can improve balance, walk smoothly, and be less prone to falls. Test method: Put your hands on your waist, close your eyes, and choose a leg that is easier to stand on one leg; the raised foot can be raised or lowered, but cannot touch the supporting foot. Usually after 7 seconds or more to represent health.

Standard 7, male agility: 36 steps in 20 seconds

Simple test method: male draws 3 lines every 1 meter on the ground; first stand on the center line, feet over the line, then immediately move to the right line, stand over the line, then move to the middle, then move to the left line , and finally return to the middle to complete a calculation. Record how many times you can move in 20 seconds, less than 36 times, to strengthen agility training.

Standard 8, male endurance: 28 minutes and 3 kilometers

Men can maintain a brisk and vigorous pace for a long time, which is a good way to judge whether they are healthy or not. A Swedish study showed that a healthy 40-year-old man walked 3 kilometers in 28 minutes, or about 134 steps per minute.

Standard 9. Male ejaculation ability: 5ml each time

The prostate is a male-specific organ. While not much bigger than a walnut, it's an eventful place for men. Prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia and hypertrophy seriously affect men's health and quality of life. The study found that the ejaculation volume after married life can reach 5 ml, which is the most direct manifestation of prostate health.

Standard 10, male hearing ability: can hear 20 decibels when it is quiet

The normal hearing standard is that people can hear sounds within 20 decibels in a relatively quiet environment. Healthy middle-aged men can meet this standard. Generally speaking, males begin to experience hearing loss when they are 60 to 65 years old. If severe hearing changes occur in advance, it means that the hearing organ has lesions and it is time to go to the hospital.
