14. Fruit Therapy and Office Pollution: Delicious Foods and Hidden Dangers for Men's Health

Fruits can help with male diseases.

Fruits can also be used in dietary therapy for sexual dysfunction and urinary tract infections. Here are some of the clever uses of fruits:

Lychee: Take 15-20 lychee seeds, crush them, add water and decoct them for oral administration. This can be used to treat testicular swelling and pain.

Lotus seeds: Take 15 grams of fresh lotus seeds (do not remove the small green sprout in the center of the lotus seed), decoct in water and take orally, along with the lotus seeds. This can be used to treat excessive nocturnal emission.

Alternatively, take 10 grams of fresh lotus seeds (with the lotus heart), steam them in a pot until cooked, chew and swallow them twice a day for two consecutive days.

Grapes: Take 250 grams of fresh grapes, peel and remove the seeds, mash them, add an appropriate amount of warm water and drink, 1-2 times a day for two weeks. This can be used to treat prostatitis and painful, scanty urination.

Kiwi fruit: Crush 50 grams of fresh kiwi fruit, add 250 ml (about 1 teacup) of warm water, mix well and drink. This can be used to treat painful urination after prostatitis.

Mango: Take 10 grams of mango kernel, crush it, decoct it in water, and take it twice a day for two weeks. It can be used to treat orchitis and testicular swelling and pain.

Ginkgo: Take 10 ginkgo nuts, stir-fry them with the shell on until cooked, then remove the kernels and eat them twice a day for two weeks. This can be used to treat excessive nocturnal emission.

Papaya: Take 250 grams of papaya, slice it, and soak it in 1000 grams of rice wine or low-alcohol white wine for two weeks. Take 15 ml each time, twice a day, for two weeks. It can be used to treat kidney deficiency, erectile dysfunction, and premature ejaculation.

Red dates: Red dates have the function of nourishing blood and strengthening the spirit. Regular consumption can help replenish blood and has a good therapeutic effect on patients with premature ejaculation and impotence.

When buying fruit, men shouldn't be too "manly."

Many men are careless when choosing fruit, but did you know that even the seemingly unrotten parts of rotten fruit can be poisonous?

Once fruit becomes moldy and rotten, various microorganisms, especially fungi, will multiply rapidly in the rotting fruit, producing a large amount of toxic substances in the process.

These toxic substances continuously seep and diffuse from the rotten parts into the non-rotten parts through the fruit juice, causing the non-rotten parts to also contain microbial metabolites.

Eating rotten fruit can cause fungal toxins that may lead to dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, and in severe cases, convulsions, coma, and even death.

The most toxic substance posing the greatest threat to human health is the toxin from Penicillium patulum.

In addition to causing damage to the nervous, respiratory, and urinary systems, it also has a strong carcinogenic effect after being ingested.

Furthermore, the nitrates contained in rotten fruit can turn into toxic nitrites.

Therefore, for the sake of health, men should choose fruits with bright skin, tender flesh, and a fragrant aroma; these fruits should be fresh.

If there are small spots or a few insect infestations, use a knife to cut away the rotten or insect-infested areas and the good parts of the fruit that extend more than 1 cm around them; if the moldy, rotten, or insect-infested area reaches or exceeds 1/3 of the fruit, it should be discarded decisively to prevent future problems.

Men who drink alcohol should remember to eat fruit.

If a man drinks too much alcohol, he can eat some fruit or drink some fruit juice afterward, because the acidic components in fruits and juices can neutralize the alcohol.

Men should always wash fruit thoroughly before eating it and peel it with their hands. Never bite the fruit directly with your mouth, as this could lead to food poisoning from pesticide residues on the peel.

Part 6

巳时 (9:00-11:00)

Unwavering health, adaptable to ever-changing work

According to the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, the Si hour (9-11 AM) is the time when a man can unleash his inner energy. At this time, a man begins to digest the energy of food, and he is full of physical strength and energy.

Some say "work is a man's best game," but men, when you're at work, besides the psychological satisfaction, are you also paying attention to taking care of your health?

A good man should, while working, address every health vulnerability in the office, allowing his body to escape the distractions of work, experience the joy of work-life balance, and leverage his wisdom to the fullest extent in health management.

Men, as you strive to build your empire and showcase your masculine prowess, taking care of your health is your inescapable responsibility!

Men, choose your masculinity wisely.

Odor is an important indicator of a man's health. Various excretions and secretions, including urine, feces, phlegm, etc., can indicate whether a man has a fever or a cold constitution.

For example, diabetic patients have a sweet body odor, while uremia patients emit a urine-like smell all over their bodies...

Therefore, men should choose a fresh and clean masculine scent that suits them!

"Fighting" to the end, retaining its freshness.

Body odor was once considered one of the hallmarks of masculinity, but men with unpleasant body odor can be quite off-putting.

Thus, a "battle of annihilation" quietly began.

There are two types of sweat glands in the human body.

Normal sweat glands are distributed throughout every inch of the skin on the body, secreting sweat as needed. Especially in hot weather, when doing strenuous exercise, this sweat will flow out of the body to lower the skin temperature, and men will not feel irritable.

Scented sweat glands are clustered in the armpits, navel, and groin. The fluid secreted by these sweat glands includes not only the basic components of normal sweat, but also some oily substances and proteins.

When odorous sweat adheres to the skin and is invaded by bacteria, the body emits an unpleasant odor as the bacteria decompose it.

Therefore, men need to develop good personal hygiene habits in order to completely eliminate the growth of bacteria.

Develop the habit of showering with antibacterial soap once a day, thoroughly cleaning areas with odor, such as the armpits and groin.

Regular antibacterial soaps can be bought at supermarkets, while stronger antibacterial soaps can be bought at pharmacies. It's best to consult a doctor or pharmacist before buying.

Antiperspirants are effective in eliminating underarm odor.

The armpits are the biggest source of body odor. Although they only account for 1% of the total amount of sweat on the body, they are 100% of the source of the odor.

Antiperspirants use an aluminum-containing compound to clog pores, reducing sweat secretion by 15% to 20% while eliminating odor.

The best time to apply antiperspirant is before bed, not after showering or before going out as commonly believed.

That's because there's less moisture under the armpits before bed, and lying flat makes it easier for antiperspirant to be absorbed.
