UNBELIEVABLE! Six easy ways men can live longer.
Generally, men in general are not expected to live as long
as women. The average life expectancy for a man is 79 whereas women are
expected to live to 82.
According to medics, this is so because of genetics. Women
have two X chromosomes, which provides them with a backup if a mutation occurs.
However, men do not have that luxury — they only have one X chromosome to
express all their genes.
However, there are six ways a man can boost his life
expectancy.
1. Stare at boobs
It may seem like an
inconvenience or an invasion of privacy to many women, but staring at boobs
creates a positive mindset in men.
According to a
research published in the Archives of
Internal Medicine, boobs make men happy, and happiness is the key to
unlocking your full potential.
Experiencing
pleasant emotions can help individuals make better decisions about their health.
2. Have a lot of sex.
Sex could decrease a
man’s mortality rate by as much as 50%.
Sex releases
serotonin, the happy hormone which makes us feel better overall. Sex also
promotes physical well-being, as well as being a stress reliever — which can
help reduce the likeliness of illness.
It protects you from
cancer, it keeps your heart healthy, and it helps you sleep better. Not to
mention how amazing it feels.
3. Get married
Not something
everyone would have thought — but married men do live longer though this depends
on the age at which they get married.
A survey involving 127,545
American adults found that married men are healthier than men who were never
married or whose marriages ended in divorce or widowhood.
The research also
revealed that men who have marital partners also live longer than men without
spouses so are men who marry after age 25 get as they get more protection than
those who tie the knot at a younger age.
The longer a man stays married, the greater
his survival advantage over his unmarried peers.
4. Be responsible
A sense of responsibility can do wonders. A study in the Journal
of Personality and Social Psychology discovered that older people in nursing
homes who were given a plant to care for had improved socialisation, alertness
and general function.
Perhaps that is why having kids are good for you.
5. Have kids.
According to Swedish
researchers observed
information from over 700,000 men and 725,000 women born between 1911 and 1925,
your little ones might be upping your longevity.
The study showed
that people with children had greater longevity across the board.
According to the
study, men with kids are expected to live 2 years longer than non-fathers at
age 60. By age 80, dads are expected to live about 8 months longer than non-parents.
6. Get a ‘katummy’.
Most men gain a bit
of weight after they have kids, but that is not necessarily a bad thing.
A book called “How Men Age” argues that gaining
weight after fatherhood makes men healthier, more attractive and more
likely to live longer than their “skinny” counterparts.
The author claims
that tubby men are less likely to suffer a heart attack or prostate cancer and
are more likely to invest their time in their children. It adds that their
increased fat levels also make them more attractive to women.
Stay healthy, my
friends.
