Many men enjoy doing mental labor, believing that it does not require physical exertion and that they are not exposed to the elements. Actually, that's not the case. Compared to men who engage in physical labor, men who engage in mental labor are more mentally tired. In addition, long-term non participation in physical exercise can also lead to a gradual decline in their physical fitness. Moreover, a recent discovery has shown that men who engage in mental labor are more likely to enter menopause.
The latest survey data from the World Health Organization shows that after the age of 30, male hormones in the body gradually decrease, with an average annual decrease of 1% to 2%. This study tested males of all age groups from 25 to 70 years old and found that the levels of male hormones in males aged 70 were only 10% of those in males aged 25 years old.
During the period of 40 to 90 years old, the testosterone level in men's bodies decreases by an average of 1% to 2% annually, with a total decrease of up to 30% to 50%. This indicates that men will enter the "menopause" from around the age of 40. Research has shown that male mental workers who always "stick" to chairs will enter menopause earlier than other men.
A Japanese study has summarized several professions that are prone to male menopausal syndrome: bank staff, teachers, architects, and corporate elites.
In addition, people who engage in mental labor with little physical exercise, or those who have previously engaged in intense sports but suddenly stop, are prone to entering menopause early. On the contrary, those who have more opportunities to go out or exercise regularly experience menopause later. Among these categories of people, at least 4 are often in a sedentary working state.
If a man is in a state of high thinking for a long time, it is easy to experience fatigue, fatigue, and other feelings due to excessive tension in his nerves. Therefore, it is recommended that male mental workers who sit for a long time should create more opportunities for themselves to go out and engage in activities. Only by learning to relax can one balance one's physiological functions and prevent premature menopause.
