Color therapy is strange to China people, but it plays a vital role in people's physical and mental health. Why do nurses in hospitals wear white coats and pink coats? Why do surgeons wear green coats? Because green gives people a peaceful and peaceful visual experience, which is beneficial to patients to relax and reduce stress and illness. White gives people a white, bright and spotless feeling, indicating that the hospital is an unpolluted place.
Color therapy, referred to as color therapy, is based on the fact that not everyone is suitable for all colors. A person's psychological and physiological feelings will be different in different color environments.
Generally speaking, the coordination between color and physical and mental health has the following relations:
Red: It will make people have a lively, vivid and uneasy reaction. Full of strength and enthusiasm, it will stimulate and excite the nervous system, increase adrenaline secretion and enhance blood circulation. But too much contact can cause anxiety and physical stress, which makes people who are prone to fatigue feel exhausted. When a person is depressed, seeing red will change his mood immediately, but it won't last long.
Orange: It has a rich, gorgeous and hot feeling, which produces vitality like sunshine, induces appetite, helps the body absorb calcium, and is conducive to restoring and maintaining health. Can be used in entertainment rooms, kitchens and other places, not suitable for bedrooms and study rooms.
Yellow: It is the brightest color among all colors, and has the feeling characteristics of happiness, liveliness, hope and brightness. It can bring a sense of sharpness and expansion, stimulate the nervous system and digestive system and strengthen logical thinking. However, gold decoration is easy to cause instability and random behavior, so it is best to avoid using it in dormitories and activity places. It is also often used as a warning color.
Green: the color of nature, giving people a feeling of peace, youth and freshness. Its quiet and static characteristics are beneficial to digestion, promote body balance, and play a calming role, which can alleviate the fatigue of human brain and optic nerve and is beneficial to those who are active or depressed. It can also overcome syncope and negative emotions to some extent.
Purple: blue and red, positive and dignified. In ancient China, it was given a special meaning. "Forbidden City" and "Purple gas came from the East" were also called "Purple Deficiency". It has effects on motor nerves, lymphatic system and heart system, can maintain the balance of potassium in the body, and has the feeling of promoting peace, love and care for others.
Blue: Ocean color, sky color, calm, rational, transparent and broad, with strong stability, is an introverted, shrinking and learning color. It can regulate muscles, affect vision, hearing and smell, and reduce the body's sensitivity to pain. This color is not suitable for decoration, but if it is used on cloth, it gives people a sense of security and is suitable for static actions such as yoga.
Black: a negative color, lonely and mysterious, but with a serious, implicit and solemn meaning. It is said that there is a bridge in England. It was dark at first, and many people committed suicide by jumping off the bridge. Later, it was painted green. Because of the psychological implication of color, few people commit suicide. When a person is depressed, it is best to avoid dark or dimly lit occasions.
Colorful and dazzling, people's mood is changeable. If you want to have a healthy body, you must learn to use colors to adjust your mood.
Men are more obsessed than women.
In real life, we often hear some women complain that their husbands love the dark and don't know how to change. In fact, this is the man in our nature.
It is found that the advantage of men is mostly in the left brain, which is used to feel time and the thinking is linear.
No matter what men do, they all show "indomitable spirit". Compared with men, women's advantages are mostly in the right brain, which is used to feel space, and women's thinking is round. Therefore, when women do things, they often consider all aspects and know how to be flexible.
It can't be said that men and women think better, and only by learning from each other can they make up for themselves. For men, we should not only think about the past, but also think about the future. Maybe they can finish the task smoothly by taking a step back or walking around.
For women, don't always cling to the past, but learn to open up and look forward to a better future. Of course, when conflicts occur, men and women should put themselves in their shoes and communicate more, so as to learn from each other and learn from each other's thinking and ways of doing things.
All kinds of depression.
Depression is not a single disease, but a group of diseases. Clinically, it can include several types:
1, depressive neurosis: it is a mild depression, characterized by persistent depression, often accompanied by anxiety, physical discomfort and sleep disorders. Psychotherapy should be given priority to.
2. Psychotic depression: It is a serious depression, characterized by mental retardation, sleep disorder, heavy morning and light night, suicidal attempts and behaviors. There is often an obvious family history. Mainly treated with antidepressants.
3. Reactive depression: caused by various mental stimuli such as lovelorn, divorce, unemployment and theft. In treatment, we should devote ourselves to removing mental stimulation and cooperate with psychological and drug treatment.
4. Recessive depression: depression is not obvious, but many symptoms of the body, such as pain, chest tightness, insomnia, weight loss, and lack of diet, are very prominent. Treatment should be mainly based on antidepressants and improving mental factors.
Depression increases the risk of renal failure.
The latest research in the United States shows that depression will increase the risk of renal failure, and the two diseases often coexist. Kidney disease in patients with depression can easily deteriorate rapidly and even evolve into renal failure.
The research team analyzed the health status of 5785 people and followed them for 10 years. The results show that patients with depression are particularly prone to kidney disease, and the aggravation of depressive symptoms is likely to aggravate kidney disease. In addition, the more severe depression, the higher the risk of diabetes and heart disease.
The researchers explained that patients with depression may delay seeking medical treatment or neglect communication with doctors, which may lead to the deterioration of kidney disease, or it may be because of some physiological factors, such as changes in immunity and nervous system, leading to depression and kidney disease.
Personality affects health.
When we describe a person, it will inevitably be linked with his personality characteristics. For example, Lao Zhang is cheerful and Xiao Wang is introverted ... Different people have different personality characteristics. Kong, a national second-level psychological counselor, believes that some personalities will endanger health and affect life expectancy.
The grumpy type. Every time I lose my temper, I will wear my heart more and add a burden to my body. Cases around us often remind us that most diseases such as stroke and myocardial infarction are caused by anger and major stress events.
Anxiety and tension type. Anxiety refers to the tension that a bad situation is coming. A 30-year survey of 1800 men shows that people who are emotional are most likely to calm their minds by smoking, but compared with the long-term harm caused by cigarettes, such short-term relief is not worth it.
Endure depression. Different from people with bad temper, some people are used to swallowing their anger and depression when they encounter something. This kind of person is not only socially disadvantaged, but also greatly reduced in physical fitness. Studies have shown that people with this personality are prone to peripheral arterial disease and have a greater chance of premature death. Because they are more susceptible to negative emotions and ignore the feeling of happiness.
Drill a dead end. People who love to get to the bottom of things are serious when they meet things, and they have the momentum to stop until they reach their goals. Such people can easily make some achievements in scientific research and development. But if you care about trifles, it will not be conducive to physical and mental harmony and accelerate aging. It is better to think about everything from different angles and give yourself and the people around you a "middle ground".
Suspicious and jealous. Suspicious and jealous friends are prone to loneliness, depression and anxiety, and even delusions of victimization. Studies have shown that people who are hostile to others and wary everywhere are under greater pressure, which leads to a sudden increase in protein content in their bodies. This protein has a lot to do with heart disease and diabetes.
Drag and drop type. For example, forgetting things in life and lacking corresponding goals for career. More than 20 studies have confirmed that people with strong self-discipline and organization live 2-4 years longer than those with weak will. Researchers believe that people who can control themselves are less likely to get into the bad habits of smoking and drinking, so they live longer.
Generally speaking, there is no absolute difference between good and bad personality. Only by giving full play to the strengths of personality, fostering strengths and avoiding weaknesses, and making body and mind happy, can we prolong life.
Tip: In fact, color therapy is not difficult for everyone. When spring comes, you can relax by watching more green plants.
