The Differences Between Men and Women

Jeanne Louise Calment was the most long- lived person in the world. She was 122 years old. In Taiwan, men’s life expectancy is 74.5 years old and women’s life expectancy is 80.8 years old. Why women can live longer than men? There are some reasons about it.
The first reason is about the sexhormone. Men would secrete testosterone and it would make men to be angry easily and aggressive in the puberty. When men into the middle- age, testosterone may increase the bad cholesterol and let them to get heart diseases easily. However, women would secrete estrogen and it would protect women’s body. Estrogen would decrease the dander of the heart disease and the osteoporosis. So, women may be healthier than man by the sexhormone.
The second reason is the eating habit. Most of women want to have a slim body, so they eat many vegetables, fruits and the law calorie’s food. On the other hand, most men want to be strong, so they eat much meat, dairy and the high calorie’s food. So women may be healthier than men by the eating habit.
The third reason is living habits. Men have more bad habits than women. Many men like to drink and smoke. According to the survey, there are 50 percent of men smoking and drinking, but there are only 4.8 percent of women smoking and 22.6 percent of women drinking in Taiwan. So, men may get cancer by these bad habits easily.
The last reason is about the personality. When men face the pressure, they don’t like to share their feeling with friends. They want to solve problems by themselves. However, women are different from men. Women like to talk with friends. If they feel sad, they would like to share their feeling with friends and family. According to the medical research, depressing may make people have disease easily. So, men’s personality may let them get sick easier than women.
I think to be a long- lived person is not very difficult. Men just eat healthier, improve the living habit and keep in a good mood. Then, they can live as long- lived as women. (357)
