What is health? According to the definition of the World Health Organization, health is a good state of physical, psychological and social adaptation, not just physical weakness and absence of disease.
Health is a state of dynamic balance, including physiological balance and psychological balance.
The relationship between man and the environment is harmonious, all systems of the body work normally, and the daily life and diet are normal without discomfort. This is the physiological balance. The human body may be out of balance at any time. Generally speaking, the immune and regulatory system of human body can adjust physiological imbalance in time and maintain physiological balance.
Maintaining physiological balance mainly depends on self-care. Exercise actively when you are not sick, pay attention to hygiene, strengthen your physique and prevent diseases. Pay attention to self-care when you are sick. Overcoming diseases mainly depends on the body's resistance. Medication is necessary, but external factors must work through internal factors. The disease has an incubation period, so strengthening self-care and taking necessary medical measures in time can generally reverse the disease. Self-care is the main way of health and longevity. Wu Yingkai, a famous expert in thoracic surgery in China, has long neglected physical exercise and preventive health care. At the age of 80, the blood supply to the cerebral artery is insufficient and dizzy. In severe cases, he can't get out of bed and walk. Bitter medicine has failed to relieve the pain of the disease for a long time, and he is determined to strengthen self-care. He conscientiously implemented the cardiovascular prevention and health care measures that he used to tell others: pay attention to diet regulation, reduce salt, fat and sugar, and control weight; Regular life, staying in bed for nine hours every day; Insist on daily exercise, doing recumbent gymnastics and body massage, doing floor exercises, walking in winter, watering flowers in front of the house in spring, summer and autumn, weeding and fertilizing. Plus taking medicine on time every day, dizziness slowly fades, life activities are free, thinking is not chaotic, and writing is not shaking. He has a deep understanding: "Passive health care is like self-care, and health care for the sick is like prevention before illness. Active play is much better than passive play. "
For diseases, don't take chances, "avoid diseases and avoid medical treatment", delay the timing of treatment, and drag a minor illness into a serious illness. And don't doubt it. If you feel a little uncomfortable, you will think there is a disaster and you will be worried. "I sigh that I am getting old fast and I suspect that I have a disease." If you really get a serious illness, you should also calmly deal with it, actively resist the disease and strive for a better condition.
Exercise should be suitable for personal circumstances, and it is important to persist. Life should be regular, and the biological clock should not be disturbed. The diet should be balanced, and all kinds of nutrients should not be lacking or too much. Always pay attention to hygiene and seriously prevent diseases.
"People depend on their hearts, while trees depend on their roots. To cure diseases, we must first balance our own hearts". Medicine is not as good as food, food is not as good as tonic, and tonic is not as good as heart. Among all kinds of health care measures, the first one is to maintain psychological balance.
Maintaining an optimistic, calm and stable attitude, being open to everything, not being sad, worried, angry, impatient or afraid, is a psychological balance. People with psychological balance can adjust their emotions in time and overcome psychological imbalance.
On the journey of life, flowers are not everywhere, everything will not be satisfactory, and ups and downs are inevitable. A life without regrets is not a complete life. We should face up to the regrets of life, play the ups and downs of life music, adjust our mentality in time, resolve bad emotions, establish a new psychological balance as soon as possible, and get rid of negative and harmful emotions.
We should neither suppress nor let go of bad emotions, but express them appropriately and resolve them through expression. Everything is "modest". Everything in the world is diverse. From different angles, we will have different feelings. "Get over it" means being good at thinking from different angles and seeing the bright side of things. Be flexible in thinking. If one way doesn't work, find another way. If you change your mind, you can often be suddenly enlightened, from "no water" to "a bright future." When you are in a bad mood, you can do something you like to adjust your mood, such as listening to music, reading, writing, drawing, walking and swimming.
It is necessary to be positive and enterprising, but also to be indifferent and content. We should be proactive in thought, study and career, but we should also proceed from reality and do what we can, and we should not force it or set the standards too high. As long as you work hard and gain something through your efforts, you can do it. Don't embarrass yourself. Enough is enough in life. Greed is the source of trouble and pain, and it is also the enemy of health and longevity. Only "contentment is always happy" can we get "eternal happiness" Only by being indifferent to fame and fortune can we release our inner burden, be open-minded, noble and pure, and always maintain a good attitude.
Kindness and love are important "nutrients" for mental health. Kind people often do good deeds and are ready to help others. Living for others is beneficial, comforting and relaxing. In a happy mood, the body will secrete some beneficial substances, which can improve immunity and promote health and longevity. When you love others, the situation is similar.
Don't be angry, especially the old people. "The tortoise keeps a long life to avoid urgency, and the old horse squats when it is suitable." In Kant's words, "Anger is to punish yourself for the mistakes of others". If you are not angry, no matter what happens, you should keep calm, "think twice before you act" and learn to "treat it coldly". When you are about to get angry, consciously transfer your excitement, avoid places and objects that may cause anger, and do other things elsewhere. When you calm down, come back and deal with the problem properly. When you are angry, you can only take care of the overall situation and not add fuel to the fire.
"Big things are clear, small things are confused." For unprincipled trivial matters, you can let it go, forget it, don't care, don't care. Learning to forget is a "good medicine" for health care. Everything will pass, don't dwell on those annoying and worrying past.
Why do people live? How to live? After understanding this problem, with a correct outlook on life, we can treat money, reputation and power correctly, treat the gains and losses of honor and disgrace correctly, face all kinds of pressures in life calmly, overcome psychological imbalance, avoid such troubles, improve the quality of life and live a chic and happy life. The most valuable thing is to have a good mood every day. Good mentality and good psychological quality, in the final analysis, come from the correct world outlook, outlook on life and values.
