How Modern and Busy life Affects Male Health
Abstract
No doubt the evolving modern techniques such as computers, mobile phones, cars, airplanes, robotic equipment etc. had made human life more luxurious and comfortable. But with the developing world and constantly increasing population is leading to a busy lifestyle and environmental pollution. These both hazards are responsible for many metabolic and lifestyle disorders which are affecting normal health.
In this article we are going to discuss how this busy modern lifestyle is affecting the health of males and what is the best solution to prevent these disorders.
Introduction
WHO defines health as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being not merely absence of disease. In Ayurveda, Health is defined as
When the body tissue (dhatu), digestive fire (Agni), and excretion etc. all are in equilibrium state, the person is otherwise spiritually, mentally and physically and all the sense organs are performing well. Then the person is known as a healthy person. Here Acharya Had also mentioned about spiritual health which can be correlated with social health.
The three aspects
1. Physical health
The modern era of sedentary lifestyle and lack of physical work. The increasing trend of luxurious lifestyle is the leading cause of many lifestyle disorders and metabolic disorders such as Obesity, Diabetes, cardiac disorders and arthritic conditions etc. Also with the busy schedule these days’ men are not able to take meals at proper time thus in absence of the balanced and proper diet, the adequate amount that is needed for the proper functioning of the body is not met, thus leading to immune deficiency. So males are more prone to metabolic disorders such as Heart failure, Liver failure, Hypertension, Diabetes, cancers and Autoimmune disorders etc. The decreased immunity will also make men prone for many infections including Bacterial, viral etc.
2. Mental health
From the richest men of the world to the poorest men nowadays is in stress in order to earn more money, about family problems, the future of their child or due to health issues. These all will lead to life full of stress, unhappiness and depression. Depression is the major cause of suicide these days and mostly affected group of suicides are males. Men are considered as a group which don’t usually share their feelings in front of others. These all conditions will affect mental health and many of the youth males are being misdirected or intentionally adopting the hazardous path of drug abuse. Stress is the major cause in affecting the sexual and reproductive health in males, which in turn also a reason for depression and anger issues in men.
3. Social stress
Social health means the interaction of the people with other people in the surrounding. In the busy modern life there is no time for the person to be socially active and have interaction with the people in the surrounding, which affects the social health. Reduced time for society and increased workload is the cause of it.
Modern Lifestyle affecting multiple systems
1. Reproductive system
The Reproductive system is affected by the modern lifestyle because of unhealthy diets. Many studies have shown that unhealthy diets lead to poor sexual functioning or sexual dysfunction. For example, a diet that is high in saturated fat will promote atherosclerosis.
2. Cardiovascular system
Cardiovascular diseases are mostly more common in men as compared to women. Cardiovascular diseases are often similar to sexual dysfunction because of its mechanism. Stress due to modern lifestyle increases the blood pressure and leads to various cardiovascular diseases.
3. Gastrointestinal system
Gastrointestinal system is also affected by unhealthy food items. In the modern lifestyle, the consumption of this junk food is increasing day by day. These items are highly loaded with carbohydrates with zero fiber. That may lead to many gastrointestinal diseases, constipation, Bloating etc. Several health problems are directly related to unhealthy diets and modern lifestyle. These health problems due to modern lifestyle are more common in males. Reproductive disorders are also related to these factors. Some lifestyle factors such as alcohol, smoking or chewing of tobacco, drug abuse leads to male reproduction disorders. The other factors i.e. stress, lack of sleep, exposure to sunlight also affects the male health. These male related disorders could be decreased by promoting diet and lifestyle.
Best way to improve
Ayurveda provides a better way to lead a healthy life for men.
In this shloka Acharya states that, Healthy food items i.e. rich in carbohydrates (barley, rice etc.), rich in protein (meat, green gram etc.), rich in minerals (milk, berries etc.) are consumed daily to maintain a healthy body.
