How can people become healthy? ?

After birth, in addition to the genetic imprint, the health status is mainly determined by acquired factors, and it is always accompanied by life. Although there are many acquired factors that affect health, they can be changed under certain conditions. Human beings are advanced animals with wisdom, thinking and initiative. They should also be able to control their own destiny, control all kinds of unfavorable factors, nip in the bud, protect their health and prolong their life. Health depends on yourself, on self-care, and firmly grasp health in your own hands. This requires self-care. The World Health Organization pointed out: "Self-care is a health activity carried out by individuals, families, neighbors, relatives and friends and colleagues themselves." Self-care refers to taking all health-care measures, including self-observation, judgment, treatment, nursing and prevention, through the health-care activities of non-medical professionals, individuals, families, relatives and friends, neighbors and mutual aid organizations, fighting against bad habits, diseases and aging that are harmful to physical and mental health, gradually developing a good lifestyle and establishing a set of health-care methods suitable for one's health. For example, don't smoke, drink moderately, insist on taking part in physical exercise, pay attention to the quality and quantity of diet, avoid excessive mental stress, keep cheerful and comfortable as much as possible, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, form regular living habits, and receive regular physical examinations, so as to achieve the purposes of fitness, disease prevention, delaying aging and prolonging life. Self-care has many benefits, including the following:

First of all, self-care is conducive to improving health and realizing the desire of health and longevity.

Health is the foundation of longevity, and only healthy people can live long. Modern medical practice has proved that self-care is the most ideal means to improve the quality of life, health level and prolong life of middle-aged and elderly people. Among many factors that affect human life span, 60% depends on itself. This shows how important self-care is! Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people should pay more attention to self-care.

Secondly, self-care can play a role in the prevention and early detection of certain diseases that drugs can't play.

Because individuals pay attention to self-care, they can actively change the influence of psychological and environmental factors on health in daily life and actively eliminate the risk factors caused by individuals. Self-care can also prevent some diseases by paying attention to reasonable nutrition, proper exercise, positive psychology and harmonious interpersonal relationship. Therefore, self-care can play a role that medical technology or drugs can't. Self-care can use health care knowledge anytime and anywhere, self-observation, touch and smell, so as to find the signs and danger signals of some diseases as soon as possible. This is conducive to early detection and early treatment of diseases in middle-aged and elderly people.

Third, self-care can make patients recover soon.

Some middle-aged and elderly patients with chronic diseases can improve the therapeutic effect through self-care, and can also prevent or delay some complications. In the treatment of diseases, self-care workers can actively cooperate with doctors, and constantly increase medical knowledge and accumulate experience in treating and preventing diseases, which can not only promote the early recovery of diseases, but also avoid the recurrence of diseases.

Fourth, self-care can promote the transformation from the "third state" of human body to health.

The third state is a special state between health and disease, also known as sub-health state or sub-health state, that is, deficiency syndrome of traditional Chinese medicine. Experts pointed out that there are many people in the third state at present, accounting for 70% of the total number. To get rid of the plight of this huge crowd, self-care is the key measure. Because there are many prescriptions for self-care, it can prevent the third state of human body from turning into disease and promote the third state to turn into health.

Fifth, self-care can effectively prolong working life.

Many middle-aged people always "carry a heavy load". In the face of career and body, they always cherish the former, so they always put pressure on themselves for a career or a goal. They work selflessly and neglect their health, which leads to many diseases and even premature death. Experts pointed out that middle-aged people should update their health concepts, improve their awareness of self-care, learn self-care knowledge, and attach importance to and strengthen self-care. This can not only effectively prevent premature aging or premature death, but also effectively extend the working life.

Sixth, self-care is a shortcut to everyone's health with high efficiency and low cost.

Experts in China pointed out that at present, the disease spectrum and death spectrum of the population in China have undergone fundamental changes, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and malignant tumors have replaced infectious diseases and parasitic diseases as the first place. The causes of these diseases are divided into four aspects: lifestyle and behavior, human biomedical factors, environmental factors and medical and health service factors, of which lifestyle and behavior factors account for almost half.

According to experts' investigation, environmental factors account for 27.8%, biological factors account for 18.2%, medical and health services account for 9.3%, and life behavior factors account for 44.7% (currently accounting for 70% ~ 80% of the total number of deaths in developed countries).

Experts further pointed out that it is useless to prevent lifestyle diseases only by increasing medical expenses and medical care measures. On the basis of social-psychological-biomedical model, we must vigorously promote preventive medicine, establish a scientific and healthy lifestyle, change people's unhealthy behavior habits, and realize people's self-care. This is an efficient and low-cost personal health care method.

Only when everyone participates in self-care can everyone's health be realized. Facts have proved that self-care is conducive to improving the quality of the population, reducing diseases and prolonging life. This can not only reduce the current huge medical and health expenses, reduce the economic burden of society, but also enable people to create more wealth for society. Self-care of middle-aged and elderly people can reduce or even eliminate the special care of organizations and children, even relieve their own pain, delay the aging of physiological functions, enhance their physique, create conditions for their healthy old age, and make more contributions to the motherland.
