The human body is like a precision instrument that reacts to conditions. We drive, if there is a problem with the engine, then the sound is different, listening is also able to hear. Similarly, a cold, a fever, cough, runny nose, this is the body to give you a signal. It is important to keep abreast of changes in your physical condition and pay attention to receiving these signals, not to ignore them. The body has been communicating to you, you ignore it, the results will be very serious, should learn to communicate with their own body.
Many people will ignore these and feel that it is nothing. Others feel that they can just carry on and get over it. I think rationality is needed in this area as well. By rationality I mean allowing our own thoughts to conform to objective reality. Truly wise people constantly build and upgrade their cognitive systems to conform to objective reality. In the case of the body, this should also be the case, and we must avoid, in particular, "self-deception".
A friend and I talked about his mother: "Dad has been teaching abroad for a long time, my mother was young and alone in the hometown with our siblings, when the family was very poor, she was tired and malnourished for many years, resulting in the respiratory system has been bad, in order to save, she has been carrying and not willing to go to the hospital. Years later, because of the old cough, in Beijing Cancer Hospital checked out lung cancer, has been advanced. During the treatment radiotherapy mother was very strong, but we have a hard time in our hearts: if we can prevent and check early, not only reduce the pain but also prolong the life. In addition, if we can accumulate more wealth at an early stage, we can also let our mother use expensive targeted therapy and immunotherapy to improve the quality of life. These are regrets that I often think back to when I am alone." These are her exact words.
This is an ordinary mother, she can not look directly at their own physical condition, patience and physical communication perhaps there are other aspects of life pressure, economic and other reasons, but the great Steve Jobs has no other reasons, after learning that he had cancer, he insisted on opposing surgical treatment in the early days, after the condition deteriorated before being forced to accept surgical treatment, and ultimately recurring, resulting in an incurable condition, died prematurely. Jobs' Stanford commencement speech about the three stories of his life took place shortly after a pancreatic cancer surgery. These are lessons learned.
I have three suggestions in this regard:
One is prevention. The body's resources are limited and not to be squandered endlessly. The so-called prevention is to have a restrained life routine, not to overdraw the body. 1, to ensure adequate sleep. Now some young people do not sleep until late at night one or two or two, not until 11 or 12 o'clock at noon, which is against the laws of nature. Six o'clock at night the sun goes down, the sky is dark, is prompted by the birds into the nest, people sleep, everything in the world rest; six o'clock in the morning the sun comes out, the sky is bright, is prompted by the growth of everything, the work to go to the officer. You must and the laws of nature against, this is also and their own bodies against. 2, pay attention to diet. Now is not our former lack of food and clothing years, you can pay attention to some. You can not believe those who play the banner of health, today said that this can not eat, tomorrow said that can not eat, but should believe that the scientific conclusion of the diet: for example, to control their mouths, control the amount of food, eat less dinner does not eat late-night snacks; for example, less salt, less spicy, less fried not fresh food, do not drink alcohol, not smoking and so on. Can not figure a moment of good taste, to their own bodies buried hidden dangers. Pay attention to another aspect of diet is on time. Once upon a time, we work in the mountains, cut a load of firewood to walk seven or eight miles, lunch to two or three o'clock to come back to eat is a common thing, now do not have to. To point to eat, drink, don't treat yourself. 3, exercise. Every day to take out a certain amount of time to exercise is necessary, do not have to block of time, micro-exercise is also possible. Is running, is fast walking, is square dance are good, as long as the move up on the right.
Second, monitoring. Monitoring includes two aspects: 1, regularly participate in medical examinations. When you are young, your physical condition does not change much, after forty-five, you must go to the physical examination once a year, early detection of problems, early solution. There is one major aspect to note here: the application of medical examination results. In the conclusion of the examination, the medical examination organization will often write a sentence "follow-up consultation is recommended" for some big or small problems. On the one hand, there are really big or small problems; on the other hand, they can be exempted from responsibility by writing this sentence. You see, I have told you to go to the doctor, you do not go, can not be blamed on me. For us, we can't be sloppy, we have to go to the clinic when it's time to go to the clinic, we can't ignore it and go immediately, right away. Of course, if you choose a physical examination organization that can do both examination and medical treatment will be reliable. Pure medical institutions as long as you go to the clinic, can not be treated, to be treated, you have to go to other hospitals, then you have to re-do the check again, it will be cumbersome a lot. 2, usually their own routine self-check. If you have any problems, you should measure your blood pressure and heart rate every day. From the trend point of view, wearable devices will be the most important weapon in the daily monitoring of human data, blood pressure, heart rate, etc. can be automatically recorded around the clock, the development of science and technology will help the medical cause to move forward.
Third, insurance. Speaking of insurance may be offensive to some people, if that is the case, that means you do not understand it. Insurance at the critical moment can solve a big problem, it is called saving for a rainy day. Some people say, my unit has insurance, can not be insured again. My suggestion is to take out a commercial insurance policy, and the sooner the better. The unit to give you insurance is a basic medical insurance, really have a situation, there are many or no way to report, then the commercial insurance will play a role, the earlier the insurance is also the cheaper, late, older, you want to insure, the insurance company will not allow you to insure. Medical insurance, remember the two principles: 1, insurance top pillar; 2, only medical, accident insurance. We all invest in health insurance is to enhance the ability to resist risk, can not be ignored.
