men's health books

There is currently no "universal book list" that is suitable for everyone, but books that can avoid misleading marketing and have real reference value can basically be classified into three categories - evidence-based popular science books compiled by authoritative organizations, clinically proven traditional health care books, and sports psychology books for adjusting life conditions. You don't have to be greedy when choosing, just match your current needs.

Last week, my 32-year-old boy fell into a trap and worked overtime every day until his waist protruded and his hair fell. I randomly searched three men's care books on the Internet, which are said to be "secrets that old Chinese doctors don't teach." After taking Liuwei Rehmannia Pills for half a month, I went straight to the hospital for a nosebleed and went to the emergency room. The doctor said that he has a damp-heat constitution, and the prescriptions in the book are for people with weak and cold constitutions, and they are completely inappropriate. To be honest, I went through a similar trap a few years ago. When I first started working, I always thought that the soreness in my back and back pain was caused by kidney deficiency. I blindly bought a book called "Men's Nutritional Encyclopedia" with a white-bearded old Chinese medicine doctor on the cover. I ate stewed mutton with wolfberry for half a month. I got so angry that my mouth ulcers didn't heal for half a month. Later I went to the hospital to find out that it was lumbar muscle strain caused by sitting for a long time. It would be better if I stood and walked a few more steps.

If you really want to find a reliable and hard-core reference, it is right to give priority to the evidence-based science popularization category published by authoritative organizations. For example, the "China Men's Health Science Popularization Guide" compiled by the Andrology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association. From prostate care, identification of sexual dysfunction to fertility-related issues, all recommendations are supported by large-scale clinical data, and there is no half-truth. If you have just been diagnosed with prostate hyperplasia and want to know how to take care of it on a daily basis and when you should seek medical treatment, just read this book. It is 100 times more reliable than any folk remedies you can search online. Of course, some people think this book is too dry. The pages are full of medical terminology and classification standards. Ordinary readers may find it confusing. They can also choose the "Men's Health Guide" from the Mayo Clinic. The content is more oriented towards daily scenarios and provides specific plans on how to eat and move. However, the dietary structure of Europeans and Americans is different from ours. The recommended requirement of 300g of deep-sea fish and whole grains accounting for half of the staple food per day is simply not possible for most people in China, so you have to make flexible adjustments when referring to it.

Of course, if you feel overwhelmed by the pages full of medical terminology and want to find content that is more relevant to daily care, many people will turn to traditional health care books, which is actually the most controversial. The view of the evidence-based medicine school is very clear: it is not recommended to accept any conditioning suggestions without clear physiological indicators. For example, "kidney deficiency" mentioned repeatedly in many books does not correspond to specific biochemical indicators and can easily be used by businesses to sell anxiety. But several Chinese medicine doctors I know in public tertiary hospitals all have annotated excerpts of the "Huangdi Neijing" in their drawers. Their view is that many sub-health states in men are disorders at the functional level and have not yet reached the level of organic diseases, such as soreness and weakness in the waist and knees caused by sitting for a long time, and easily If you have fatigue and poor sleep, go to the hospital to check the indicators and all are normal. Adjust your work and rest according to the principle of "having a regular daily life and not working rashly", combined with 10 minutes of Baduanjin every day, the improvement rate can reach more than 60% in about 3 months. This method of adjusting your living status does not require any indicator support. There is nothing wrong with either statement. The core thing is that you must first figure out whether you really have an organic disease or whether you are just in a bad state.

There is another type of book that is easily overlooked, which is about sports and psychological adjustment. Have you ever come home from get off work and slumped on the sofa? You don’t even have the energy to talk to your family. When you go to the hospital, all indicators are normal, but you just feel tired? Reading books about andrology is useless at this time. When I was at my worst last year, I read a book called "Ignored Male Emotional Stress" compiled by a domestic clinical psychologist. It said that nearly 70% of men aged 30 to 40 have this kind of "hidden fatigue". It's not a physical problem, but emotional exhaustion. The book doesn't teach any big principles. It just teaches you how to pour out the accumulated emotions without having to carry them. Of course, some people think that this kind of book sells anxiety and is not as effective as running 3 kilometers every day. There is no right or wrong. Some people rely on sweating to relieve stress, while others rely on clearing up their emotions to feel relaxed and relaxed. Whichever way suits you best.

Now, 90% of the best-selling books on the market with the banner of "men's health" are actually IQ taxes. They are either taken out of context and pieced together from the contents of classical medical books, or they are hidden in a bunch of health products. My cousin bought a book "Secrets of Men's Impotence" before, which said that eating three bullwhips a day can cure impotence. After taking it for a month, his uric acid level increased to more than 600, and he couldn't get out of bed due to gout. The gain outweighed the gain.

Finally, I would like to say that all health books are only for reference. If you really feel any definite physical discomfort, go to the hospital for a checkup first. Don’t blindly diagnose yourself based on a book. After all, everyone’s physical condition is very different. Others may use easy methods, but you may be in trouble, right?
