Men with less muscle have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease

When entering middle age, men with high muscle mass can reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Exercise always brings health benefits and prevents many diseases. For cardiovascular disease, scientists have also had many studies demonstrating the great benefits of exercise in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and dangerous events caused by it.

More specifically, a study published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Public Health (USA) showed strong benefits of exercise. This study analyzed 10 years of data on 2,020 middle-aged people, half male and half female. The results showed that 27% of the participants had heart disease, about six times higher in men than in women. Attached is the link between muscle quality and this disease.

According to scientists, men with good muscle mass have an 81% lower risk of heart disease compared to other men. From this result, Dr. Stefanos Tyrovolas, from the Instituto Sant Joan de Déu (Spain) - the lead author of the study, said that metabolism and blood sugar control have made the body's body. Humans increase their ability to fight inflammation, thereby contributing to the prevention of heart disease. "In addition, people with good muscles also tend to be more active than others and this also helps protect heart health," added Stefanos Tyrovolas.

Notes when practicing

As we age, skeletal muscle mass also decreases. Research shows that, after the age of 30, muscle mass decreases by 3-5%/10 years in men. We can prevent and reduce this loss by staying active. Here are the notes that men need to avoid during exercise:

Weightlifting exercises will help increase strength, cardio exercises or jogging will help increase endurance. Therefore, the practitioner needs to allocate reasonable and moderate exercises.

High-intensity exercises often put a lot of pressure on the back and knees. Therefore, middle-aged men should practice exercises combined with chairs, stretching exercises to avoid injury.

If injured, allow the leg to rest for 10-14 days to heal. After this period, you should do gentle cardio exercises.

Eating healthy is essential as you enter middle age. Therefore, you should maintain a simple diet, eat easily digestible foods after training.
