You may think about diet, exercise and sleep soon.
Maybe you will think further about genes and intestinal flora.
These answers are undoubtedly correct, but they are far from complete.
If we look closely, we will find that all the factors mentioned above can be subdivided.
Take diet as an example, it contains many sub-factors:
For example, are you getting enough nutrients-including various fatty acids, amino acids, vitamins and minerals, dietary fiber, and many neglected but very important nutrients (such as inositol and betaine)?
Another example is whether harmful substances such as sugar, alcohol and various additives in processed food are avoided.
Another example is whether the proportion of carbohydrates is appropriate, whether the frequency of eating is appropriate and so on.
From a microscopic point of view, each sub-factor can even be subdivided. For example, the proportion of various fatty acids intake and the types of dietary fiber intake. ...
Once we go into the details, we will find that the so-called "maintaining a balanced diet" dietary advice is not only lacking in pertinence, but also lacking in operability.
But when we take a few steps back and go further, we will find that the factors that determine health are far more than these cliches.
When we see that "man lives in the environment", we will realize that the things he touches, the utensils he eats, the air he breathes, the sounds he hears and the space in which he lives and works will all affect his health.
When we realize that "people not only have a physical body, but also a spirit", we will consider the influence of psychological factors on health.
When we consider people's "sociality", we will notice that a person's family, friends and community relations are inextricably linked with his health.
When we notice that a person is a "social person", it is not difficult to think that his education, his income, his social status and the medical services he can enjoy are all factors that affect his health. ...
From micro to macro, when we re-examine health from different angles, we will get a more complete health map.
There is no doubt that there is nothing we can do about some of these health factors, such as genes, age and the urban environment where you live.
But we can get a detailed health management chart by extracting those factors that we can control.
This map will be big, but I'm trying to draw it.
It is expected that an overall framework will be formed in early June.
