Men take care of your health most of the waist


Waist in men, has unusual significance. It is not only bear the weight of the fulcrum of the upper body, lower body of the axis connecting is the Chinese idea that the family line of origin.


However, fast-paced lifestyle of modern society, excessive stress and lack of exercise and other bad habits, so that man's waist increasingly heavy burden. Recently, experts in the acceptance of "Life Times" reporter that the men should be given back, "burdens" of.


40 men, more than half of spinal problems


Wang Jing Hospital, China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine

a Division deputy director of the Theoretical Formula trauma in the acceptance of "Life Times" reporter, description, we often say that the waist, mainly referring to the lumbar structures, from first to fifth lumbar spine between this section, and the surrounding some of the organizational structure. From the anatomical point of view, waist this site, only lumbar spine is the bone structure, strength of upper motor conduction can only be carried out through the lumbar, the upper lumbar spine carries all the weight, the load is quite big. Usually, when we sat down, the legs have a rest, but the waist is still supporting body weight. Only in the supine position, the pressure of carrying the smallest waist. Others sitting wrong habits sat forward, then disc carrying the most stress.


"From the perspective of social roles, men's waist than women 'tired' more, both in work and life, to bear a greater burden. Heavy manual labor most of the men do, the physical home live and bear the main men. So the incidence of diseases such as lumbar muscle strain male than female. "Theoretical Formula that" while men are more common lumbar injury. On the one hand, engaged in hazardous work more men than women, together with man days of sexual adventure, to participate in the movement stronger and more confrontational, exercise large projects, so their injuries are more likely. "


Japan Friendship Hospital Ministry of Health Director of Surgery, orthopedic director of the reconstruction of bone necrosis and joint director of the Center to retain Professor Li Zirong told "Life Times" reporter, in recent years, male medical treatment for lumbar disease, increasing the rate of up to See the lumbar disc, lumbar muscle strain, lumbar degenerative changes, and so. "Especially lumbar disc problems, mostly with young men." With age, intervertebral disc degenerative changes do happen, losing the normal elasticity and tension. But modern work long hours at his desk, sit in the office nearly 10 hours to 12 hours to drive home, home is an ass get in the sofa, long-term single action will lead to lower back muscle spasms, lower back by the force balance of damage, mechanical structure will be problems, muscle ligament easily lead to fatigue, and speed up the aging intervertebral disc. Over time, the waist will be answered with the emergence of various pain, symptoms such as difficulty bending over. According to the National Orthopaedic disease control authority of the agency survey, in the 30-40 year old male population, 59.1% were suffering from neck and lumbar spine.


"Bad back" equal to "kidney is not good"


Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine First Affiliated Hospital of Urology, MD, deputy director of Andrology Zhoushao Hu told the "Life Times" reporter, Chinese medicine, "the House back for the kidney", "bad back" with a "kidney is not good." According to the theory of Western anatomy, kidney both sides of the waist, waist at the location of acid and other symptoms appear, the first is to consider kidney, kidney shortage. Only Chinese medicine is a relatively large renal function groups, including Western medicine endocrine, urinary, reproductive system, and even part of the vascular nervous system function, so the physiological role of a wide range, can be described as one which will affect the whole.


Chinese say "kidney essence and marrow, cord together and for the brain", the kidney can lead to inadequate marrow, brain lost the support, dizziness, ringing in the ears. Kidney essence, yin and yang of kidney essence of birth, interdependence, mutual constraints on the internal organs play the role of nurture and warmth. If this balance has been destroyed or party a recession occurs when lesions appear male sexual function problems such as premature ejaculation, Hua Jing, etc. In severe cases, even affect fertility. Therefore, men, waist is to protect the fundamental male.


In addition, Professor Li Zirong that the relationship between kidney and bone is clear that many hormones are synthesized through the kidney. Clinically, there are some men because of lower back injury, while the impact on sexual function and fertility. "Male fertility is two questions, one must have sex, the waist a lot of sympathetic and parasympathetic, or if the strain or injury, pain may hinder the male sex life. On the other hand, reproductive needs are refined, lumbar seriously injured, or anterior spinal surgery from, may be harmful to some of the key nerve, resulting in male sexual dysfunction, ejaculation disorders. "


Once persistent back pain; all actions to increase abdominal pressure, such as coughing, sneezing, and bowel movement, etc., may aggravate low back pain and leg radiating pain; or increased pain with activity, rest after mitigation, could prompt " back out of the question, "Men should be attention.


Weight retaining good waist

Zhoushao Hu pointed out that the waist to adjust the way of life first of all, pay attention to prevention of kidney deficiency, such as can not stay up late to avoid sitting. Second, we must pay attention to proper diet. "Men can be according to their physical condition, select the number of tonic renal diet. Like eat some slimy foods, such as sea cucumber, squid, Hashima, Loach and so."


Last is to strengthen the exercise. Here, recommend a training position - overlooking the waist. Feet separated shoulder width, feet and knee forward, slightly bent knees. Waist to waist axis, with the head of the entire neck and upper limbs, and slowly turn up to the maximum angle, then go ahead. The whole process back upright as far as possible, to do about 10-20 times each. This action can alleviate back pain caused by a single position, effective exercise waist muscles, improve lower back strength, while spine, lumbar intervertebral disc and other joint diseases have a role in prevention and rehabilitation. In addition, the developed lumbar and abdominal muscles as splints as well to maintain the dynamic stability of the spine, protect the lower back from injury. While swimming, especially the breaststroke, not only to the waist and abdominal exercise, but also to protect the spine between the organization's supply of nutrients to maintain its flexibility and improve the spine to resist external shocks.


Weight control can effectively protect the waist. Men with beer belly, just hanging around the waist of a large sand bags, so the body's center of gravity to lean forward, substantially increased the burden on the waist. So, minus beer belly is also important to protect the waist.
