Talking about the understanding of health Everyone wants to have health, because health is the foundation of a happy life and career success. Back in the middle of last century, it was generally believed that "no disease is health"; By 1977, the World Health Organization defined the concept of health as "not only the absence of disease and weakness, but a perfect state of physical, psychological and social adaptation"; In the 1990s, the meaning of health was injected with environmental factors, that is, health is a harmonious unity of "physiology-psychology-society-environment"; 2 1 century, the words "health, health preservation, wisdom, happiness, beauty and morality" formed a more comprehensive concept of "great health" and became a better realm of happy life. Health is a kind of harmony, harmony between man and nature, harmony between man and himself. The ideal of "harmony" is the ultimate pursuit of oriental culture. The so-called oriental philosophy is also a harmonious philosophy. Orientals know that everything in the universe is infinitely harmonious. Harmony is a great way of existence and a harmonious and seamless natural relationship: all disharmony is withered, dead, extinct, static and rigid fragments and ruins. True harmony comes from mutual understanding, tolerance and humility, and from calm dialogue. If human beings become bullies, then, for the sake of overall harmony, the universe will not hesitate to severely punish them with lightning speed. The so-called "condemned in heaven without praying". Unfortunately, people still don't seem to have a clear understanding of this. In modern life, each of us should keep proper working rhythm, reasonable exercise consumption, regular lifestyle, scientific food structure and appropriate health care products. In addition, we should keep a good attitude, treat life optimistically, openly and peacefully, and maintain mental health. It can be said that mental health is an organic part of human health. In today's social life, many people feel unwell, but when they go to the hospital for examination, they can't find some organic diseases, and doctors have no more effective methods to treat them. This state is called "sub-health". Sub-healthy people are between healthy people and patients. People with tight working environment and excessive work pressure are more prone to sub-health, and the most prominent performance is easy fatigue. Sub-health state has two-way floating: well-adjusted may turn into health, and poorly adjusted may turn into disease. General sub-health will affect the quality of life, but changing lifestyle, such as traveling, proper exercise and participating in recreational activities, can alleviate the symptoms; If you are in a moderate or severe sub-health state, you will have obvious or serious physical discomfort. As mentioned above, "fatigue" will greatly affect your normal life and work, and will gradually cause irreversible organic lesions.
In short, the concept of health includes physical health and mental health. On the contrary, diseases refer to organic diseases and psychological or mental diseases. So, what is the standard of mental health? First of all, you can clearly recognize and see your strengths and weaknesses. (On the contrary, unhealthy situation: I can't forget myself almost all the time, always worry that my weaknesses will be exposed, and I often feel nervous, blushing and stuttering; Long-term self-repression, mistaking the ideal "I" for the real me, demanding perfection, has a psychological conflict of perfectionists. Second, have an objective and appropriate evaluation of yourself. Be able to look at yourself from the perspective of others or society. On the contrary, unhealthy situation: too withdrawn, it is difficult to evaluate yourself correctly; Inferiority and the pursuit of superiority; In severe cases, be too critical of yourself or stick to your own opinions; When encountering setbacks or failures, people are accused and paranoid; Heavy vanity, lack of spiritual support, can only rely on the appreciation of others to support; Mistake other people's words, manners and expressions that have nothing to do with themselves as praise or blame. Third, we should have the feeling of self. Be able to accept yourself, including your weaknesses and defects. There is always a gap between everyone's true self and ideal image. Really healthy people don't complain about their psychological defects. Healthy people look at their own shortcomings just like the objective world that is not happy at present, and they can accept whatever life brings. Fourth, the unity of identity consciousness. A person will play different roles in interacting with others in life or in different social environments. But no matter how the role changes, the identity consciousness always maintains its unity. Identity consciousness is a person's true and objective recognition in society. It depends on a person's life pursuit, value orientation, moral level, professional environment, ways of making friends, personality characteristics and so on. In short, you should always know who you are. On the other hand, mental trauma or psychological conflict will destroy the weak sense of identity, and there will be personality disintegration or paroxysmal identity disorder, that is, I don't know who I am for a while. Some mental diseases, such as schizophrenia and depression, can destroy the sense of identity. Facing the complicated life, we should cherish ourselves more and more in the relatively simple life. The premise of cherishing yourself is to face up to yourself. Sometimes it is as strong as a pine and cypress in a crack in the rock, and sometimes it is as fragile as a tired egg, but it is very important to maintain the health, physiology and psychology of life. Keeping healthy is everyone's concern. The human body is the most complex system evolved in nature, at least on earth. According to the Western Christian Bible, the human body is the last product of God in Genesis and the most spiritual thing created by God. We are not going to explore here.
Investigating the source of human body is only a simple reflection on the operating mechanism of this complex system, so as to explore how to better ensure the healthy operation of human body. This is also a concern from emperors to generals to peddlers. After thousands of years of hard exploration, human beings have gradually deepened their understanding of their body structure, operation mode and microstructure from outside to inside, from big to small. Especially with the development of modern science and technology, we have a very in-depth understanding of various indicators of the human body, from simple body temperature, heartbeat and blood pressure to complex blood components, body fluid components and even the DNA composition of human cells. People can measure these human body indicators very accurately by various scientific means, and explain them with various strictly defined scientific indicators and very accurate figures. Modern science has even reached the point where molecular motion can be used to explain some protein motion in cells. Nevertheless, people do get sick every day, and people are still very fragile about how to stay healthy, how not to get sick, and how to treat various diseases correctly. Because the human body is indeed a very complex system, and this system is "alive", that is to say, it is always in the adaptive movement with the surrounding environment. Although the operation of local organs has a great relationship with the whole, the operation and health of the whole body are not completely determined by the working state of an organ. We often see people whose organs (even important organs) are not working very well, or even one organ is missing, but the overall health is still healthy and they are not "sick" because of this. Therefore, the normal operation of the human body system, people's health and whether people are sick or not should be the coordinated work of all parts of the body, and it does not depend entirely on the work of an organ. On the contrary, if the whole body works well, if there is something wrong with an organ, the human body will automatically start a powerful repair function to heal the organ itself, and even make the organ grow and repair. Such examples are too common. Based on the characteristics of such a human body system, if we want to stay healthy, not get sick, or cure diseases, we must understand the working situation of the whole human body system, especially the coordination of all parts of the body, and use methods to adjust all parts of the body. . Because human body is a very complex dynamic system, it is almost impossible to describe human health from a microscopic point of view. At least according to the technical level before human beings, it is impossible to calculate the operation of human body with the fastest modern computer if the equation is established based on the operation index of organs. Needless to say, if the operation index of each cell is used to describe the operation of human body, it may be impossible for human beings to establish and calculate this mathematical model after another thousand years of progress. But Chinese medicine has known for thousands of years.
In order to solve this problem, they established a model of yin-yang and five elements of human body operation to explain the operation of human body. Although this model is a simplified practical model of human operation, the brain, which is very important to human beings, is not included in this system (the rationality of this problem will be explained later). The model of yin-yang and five elements is a very effective and practical description of human body operation. Through this model, not only the normal operation of human body can be well explained, but also the causes and prevention of various diseases can be well explained and guided. The theory of yin-yang and five elements in traditional Chinese medicine, which came into being two thousand years ago, is a brilliant achievement of human thought. Some people even wonder whether such advanced ideas came from ancient humans themselves and were taught by highly civilized aliens. Although the operation mode of Yin-Yang and Five Elements in TCM excludes human brain organs, the relationship between spirit and body is considered when analyzing human diseases by using the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements in TCM, and the function of brain on human body is reasonably described. There are some incredible advanced ideas in it, even the description of human body operation under modern science and technology is far behind, which makes some people doubt that the theory of traditional Chinese medicine is "witchcraft" and refuse to accept it. However, under the guidance of this incredible theory, Chinese medicine has created many medical miracles for thousands of years, but it has to be admired. As a result, a group of people of insight among modern scientists began to seriously study this "incredible" theory of Chinese medicine. In order to maintain our health, we also need to understand the theory of human body operation mechanism in traditional Chinese medicine, especially to eliminate some misunderstandings and prejudices on issues of great significance to our health. In a word, if you want to have real health, you have to work hard on psychology and physiology. Only when you are mentally and physically healthy can you be considered healthy.
