Where do men screw up that they live years less than women?

One of the biggest problems is regular and excessive alcohol consumption. We are the world leader in terms of the number of alcoholics in proportion to the population: almost a quarter of the people living in Hungary are affected, which puts us ahead of a whole range of nations that are popularly considered to be heavy drinkers, including the British, Irish, Germans, Italians and French, but even the Russians are behind us. When broken down by gender, the Hungarian data are even more spectacular: more than a third of men, 36.9 percent, are alcoholics, compared to 7.2 percent of women.

The other area where it is also frustrating that we are among the first in international terms is overweight and obesity. As one of the most obese nations in the world, nearly two-thirds of our society struggles with this, and in this area too, men have priority, because their diet is characterized by a high-fat diet, an unfavorable ratio of animal and plant-based foods, i.e. a lot of meat, fatty dairy products, and fat consumption compared to the recommended total worth of cereals, fruit and vegetable consumption. They use a lot of salt, which increases the risk of developing high blood pressure and many tumors, their fiber intake is low, and their diet is deficient in vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. A sedentary lifestyle contributes to this, which can be proven to be associated with obesity and the risk of certain diseases, not to mention that regular exercise would also help a lot in overcoming permanent stress.
