If women want to live longer, they just need to do this

Many studies have shown that women generally live 5 to 10 years longer than men. This has a lot to do with the fact that women are more careful, take better care of themselves, and have good living habits. "Careless" men should learn the following healthy habits from women.

Concerned about weight:

In order to maintain a slim figure, weighing yourself regularly is a must for many women. Dr. Carolyn Cederquist, medical director of the National Center for Dietary Services, said that men tend to have abdominal obesity, which causes fat to accumulate in various organs in the abdominal cavity, increasing the risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and cancer. Monitoring weight is the simplest way for men to check their abdominal health.

Carry wet wipes with you:

Women who love cleanliness often carry small items such as wet wipes and hand sanitizer in their bags for emergencies. Dr. Joshua Zeichner, director of cosmetic and clinical dermatology research at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, said that bacteria are everywhere, and proper hand washing can prevent infection. Carrying disinfectant wipes and alcohol cotton with you can be used in emergencies. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention points out that alcohol needs to remain on hands for at least 15 seconds before air drying in order to achieve a good sterilization effect.

Eat more fiber and less meat:

Dietary fiber helps lose weight and lower cholesterol. Samantha Cassetti, a registered dietitian in the United States, recommends that you should consume at least 25 grams of dietary fiber every day from foods such as nuts, beans, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. In addition, these foods are also good for heart health.

Hang out with friends more often on weekends:

Usually every woman has a close friend, and they often get together to communicate. Dr. Coral Alphonse, director of behavioral health at the Pritikin Longevity Center in Florida, said that regular communication with friends can release psychological stress and is good for health. A study by Australian scientists shows that older people who have a wide range of friends live an average of seven years longer.

Take a bath frequently:

Women generally prefer to soak in the bath, while men prefer to just take a shower. Ariel Oster, assistant professor of dermatology at New York University Medical Center, said that taking a warm bath can help open pores, expel toxins, and make the skin cleaner and more hydrated. Adding some bath salts can also help reduce fine lines and delay skin aging. If a man is not used to taking a bath alone, he might as well invite his wife to take a bath together.

Wash your face before going to bed:

Women usually remove makeup and clean their faces before going to bed, but men may not be able to do the same. Ariel Oster said that the face is exposed to the air and has been contaminated with a lot of bacteria, dust and other dirt throughout the day. Washing the face before going to bed can help prevent allergies, clogged pores and other problems.

Find a workout partner:

Women prefer to travel in groups, while men mostly act alone. Research from Brock University in Canada shows that exercising with companions helps people stick to it in the long term. A study of the Oxford University rowing team showed that those who exercised together had twice as much endorphins (feel-good chemicals) released in the brain as those who exercised alone.
