After careful study, sub-health is a big concept, which includes several successive stages. Among them, the one closely adjacent to health can be called "mild psychosomatic disorder", which is often manifested as fatigue, insomnia, loss of appetite, emotional instability and so on. But these obstacles are easy to recover, and they are no different from healthy people after recovery. About 25% ~ 28% of the population.
If the disease continues to develop, it can enter a "potential clinical" state. At this time, it has shown a high-risk tendency to develop into a certain disease, and it is very likely to develop into a certain disease. In the population, more than 1/3 people are in this state, and the proportion of people over 40 years old has increased sharply. Its manifestations are complex, which can be chronic fatigue or persistent psychosomatic disorder, including the above symptoms lasting for more than 2 months, often accompanied by chronic sore throat, repeated colds, listlessness and so on. Some experts also summarized its complicated performance into three types: decreased vitality, decreased responsiveness and decreased adaptability. From the clinical test, this kind of people in cities tend to be "three highs and one low", that is, they have near critical levels of hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, high blood viscosity and low immune function.
In addition, at least 10% or more people are between the latent clinic and the disease, which can be called "pre-clinical" state, that is to say, the disease has occurred, but the symptoms are not obvious or have not attracted enough attention, or they have not sought diagnosis, or even if the doctor has made an examination, they have not been found out for some time. Strictly speaking, the last category is not sub-health, but a sick and unhealthy state, which just needs a clear diagnosis. Therefore, excluding this part of the population, many researchers believe that sub-health people account for about 60% of the population.
Studies at home and abroad show that only about 15% of the total population meets the health standards in modern society. Interestingly, about 15% people were diagnosed as sick and in an unhealthy state. If health and disease are regarded as two ends of the life process, then it is like an olive with two pointed ends, with a large piece protruding in the middle, which is in the transitional state of health and disease-sub-health.
First, ambitious, competitive, and have great expectations for themselves; Second, be hard on yourself and achieve your goal at any cost; Thirdly, the success of career is the standard to evaluate the value of life; Fourth, the work schedule is full, trying to do a lot of work with little time; Fifth, I am busy all day, I don't know how to relax myself, and I am very reluctant to spend my time on daily chores.
People with type A personality expect too much of themselves, so that their psychological and physical burdens are heavy. Driven by tenacious willpower, they hold the firm belief of "only success, not failure" and sacrifice everything, even their precious lives, and go straight to the set goals beyond their actual ability. Because they live in a tense rhythm for a long time, their unique thinking, beliefs, emotions and behavior patterns constantly produce internal tension and pressure.
Because of a series of stress accumulation, type A people can easily lead to cardiovascular diseases and even sudden death due to myocardial infarction at any time. Statistics show that 85% of cardiovascular diseases are related to type A behavior. Similarly, related research also shows that type A personality is closely related to the occurrence of coronary heart disease. Among patients with heart disease, type A personality accounts for 98%. Autopsy shows that people with type A personality are five times more likely to have coronary atherosclerosis than people with type B personality. Experts believe that the reason is that type A personality can stimulate special neuroendocrine mechanism, change the composition of blood lipid protein, increase the average concentration of serum cholesterol and triglyceride, and lead to coronary atherosclerosis.
Psychological research holds that "we often think that there are many things to do, but we have no time to do them". This complicated dilemma will make us nervous and worried, and high blood pressure, heart disease and ulcers will follow.
How can we alleviate the psychological and physiological pressure of type A people?
First, set a goal that suits your actual ability;
Second, it is necessary to reserve room for manoeuvre in time arrangement;
Third, strictly draw a clear line between work and rest;
Fourth, cultivate hobbies and increase the interest of life;
Fifth, often participate in sports activities to improve physical endurance.
The secret of relieving mental stress lies in our own thinking, because our thinking ability and way of thinking can determine whether we can cope with stress successfully or not. In the face of difficulties, we should have the free and easy spirit of "the mountain is high and the water is long, and when we cross the bridge, we will deal with all kinds of changes calmly and slow down mental tension and psychological fluctuations." A flexible person is more likely to cope with all kinds of difficulties and setbacks in life. Because the degree of difficulties and setbacks depends on the psychological experience of the parties; The turning point of difficulties and setbacks depends on the attitude of the parties to them. So we should learn to use flexible thinking, turn adversity into prosperity, turn setbacks into motivation, turn discord into friendship, and create a positive, orderly, relaxed and harmonious living environment for ourselves.
Advantages of type a personality
People with type A personality are enterprising, and most of them can make a difference. This is their advantage, but they should also be aware of their limitations and there is no need to sacrifice their health. Therefore, if you feel that you have the above-mentioned type A personality tendency, or face excessive pressure, you should make psychological and physical adjustments to reduce the psychological burden. The secret of relieving mental stress lies in our own hearts, and depends on how we treat success and failure, and how we recognize and deal with difficulties, setbacks and various changes. If you can learn to use flexible thinking, turn adversity into prosperity, turn setbacks into motivation and turn discord into friendship, you can create a positive, orderly, relaxed and harmonious living environment for yourself.
