Sub-health is between health and disease. Here, "seeing a doctor if you are sick" does not apply to sub-healthy people. After being tested by various modern instruments in the hospital or diagnosed by doctors and experts, there is no evidence and no index of organic lesions. Doctors can't do anything about it, which makes people suffer from inexplicable "chronic pain". It leads to two "declines" of the human body: the decline of mental vitality and the decline of stress ability. It is characterized by fatigue, listlessness, anxiety, irritability, headache, insomnia and chest pain.
Poor appetite, laziness, inattention, decreased memory, decreased understanding and judgment, social disorder and sexual dysfunction. Sub-healthy people generally have low immune function and are prone to various diseases. Sub-health is not only a precursor of disease, but also a precursor of premature aging. According to the World Health Organization, sub-health is the number one killer threatening mankind in the 2nd/kloc-0th century.
The causes of the "third state" of the body mainly include the following aspects:
1, psychological imbalance As the ancients said, when everything is done, all worries shake their hearts. Highly fierce competition and complicated relationships make people think too much, which will not only cause poor sleep, but also affect the neurohumoral regulation and endocrine regulation of the human body, thus affecting the normal physiological functions of various systems of the body;
2, malnutrition Modern people's diet is often too high in calories, incomplete in nutrients, coupled with too many artificial additives in food, artificially raised animals have short maturity and lack of nutrition, leading to the lack of many important nutrients and obesity, and the body's metabolic function is disordered.
3. Noise suppresses the development of science and technology, the progress of industry, and the increase of vehicles and population, which makes many people living in cities have a narrow living space and are disturbed by noise, which has a lot of adverse effects on the cardiovascular system and nervous system of the human body, making people fidgety and depressed. ....
Typical manifestations of sub-health
1, heart disease, fright, less sleep 2, sweating, frequent colds.
3, the tongue is red and dirty, and the mouth is bitter and dry. 4, dull face, black eyes.
5. The limbs are swollen and the silkworm lies under the eyes. 6. Abnormal nail imaging.
7, chest tightness before tide, breast nodules 8, vomit a sticky substance, hiccup fullness
9. Abnormal body temperature, fatigue and weakness 10, blurred vision, head swelling and headache.
Sub-health syndrome with coexistence of disease and non-disease
Computer diseases: also known as "repetitive stress injury", "computer keyboard fatigue syndrome" and "Internet access disorder".
Tall building syndrome: in a modern high-rise building made of glass and concrete, although equipped with perfect air conditioning and artificial lighting equipment. However, the incidence of people working there is much higher than that of people living and working in traditional buildings.
Air conditioning disease: Air conditioning disease is a disease caused by environmental factors. With the popularity of air conditioning in workplaces and bedrooms, its incidence rate is increasing year by year.
Examination syndrome: There are always some candidates who get good results in the joint entrance examination every year, but once they enter the examination room, their minds are blank. Once the exam is over, the knowledge in their minds suddenly pops out. The phenomenon of "fainting on the stage" is called "stage fright reaction" in physiology and "examination syndrome" in clinic.
Sweetheart syndrome: sugar is a necessary food for families, and the sweetness of sugar hides a threat to human health. In daily diet, people who prefer sweets often lead to "sweets syndrome" because of too much sugar.
Noise disease of household appliances: After studying noise pollution, the United Nations Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) concluded that the average noise tolerance of people should not exceed 65 decibels.
Office syndrome: With the continuous development of China's economy, there are more and more large and small office organizations. If the orderly, constant temperature, comfortable, magnificent, clean and bright office does not pay attention to environmental protection, its staff will easily suffer from "office syndrome"
Dysgraphia: Dysgraphia is a kind of symptom group caused by long-term fine hand movements caused by professional factors, which leads to hand muscle spasm and dysgraphia.
What is sub-health
"Subhealth" in Traditional Medicine
We usually say that we are sick, but in ancient times, the meanings of "disease" and "disease" were different. "Disease" refers to a minor illness (disease) that is not easy to detect. If effective measures are not taken, it will develop to a visible level, which is the so-called "disease". This sick state is called "sub-health" or "third state" in modern science and "not sick" in traditional Chinese medicine.
"No disease" is not no disease, nor is it a visible serious illness. According to the viewpoint of traditional Chinese medicine, the body has been in an unbalanced state of yin and yang, qi and blood, viscera and health. Our ancestors have long realized that with diseases, in addition to actively looking for ways to eliminate diseases, they have accumulated many measures to prevent diseases. One day in Huangdi Neijing: "The sage has been cured before his illness, the husband's illness has been cured, and the chaos has been cured. Isn't it too late to cross the well and fight for soldiers? " It can be seen that our ancestors have realized the importance of "preparing for a rainy day" to diseases.
Sub-health in modern medicine
Sub-health refers to non-disease and unhealthy state, which is a sub-health state (meaning sub-health) and a state between health and disease, so it is also called sub-health, third state, intermediate state, free (dynamic) state and gray state.
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.
Sub-health refers to non-disease and unhealthy state, which is a sub-health state (meaning sub-health) and a state between health and disease, so it is also called sub-health, third state, intermediate state, free (dynamic) state and gray state.
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. From the causes of sub-health, we can see that social environmental pressure and people's self-regulation ability are external and internal factors closely related to sub-health. Therefore, to get rid of sub-health problems, people should:
Ensure a reasonable diet and balanced nutrition. Among them, vitamins and minerals are essential nutrients for human body;
The human body cannot synthesize vitamins and minerals. Vitamins C, B and iron are particularly important to the human body, so it is necessary to supplement multivitamin tablets properly every day.
Adjust mental state and keep positive and optimistic;
Adjust the law of life in time, combine work and rest to ensure adequate sleep;
Increase outdoor physical exercise activities and ensure a certain amount of exercise every day;
The vast majority of mental workers exercise less and eat less on weekdays, and eat more and more refined foods. The intake of vitamins and various minerals is often difficult to meet the needs. In order to get rid of sub-health as soon as possible, it is suggested that these people take a certain amount of vitamin and mineral supplements every day. The daily expenses are not much. For example, Jin Shikang, an old-fashioned multivitamin that has been on the market for more than ten years, can effectively supplement vitamins A, B, C, D, E, folic acid, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iodine, iron, zinc and other minerals for only one yuan a day, which is helpful to improve physical fitness, enhance resistance and comprehensively consolidate health foundation. Therefore, actively supplementing nutrition is also an effective way to help you stay away from sub-health.
1, "general's belly" appeared early. People aged 30-50 have a big belly, which is a sign of maturity and a partner of hyperlipidemia, fatty liver, hypertension and coronary heart disease.
2, hair loss, alopecia areata, premature hair loss. Every time you wash your hair, you will lose a lot of hair, which is caused by work pressure and mental stress.
3. Go to the toilet frequently. If you are between 30 and 40 years old, the frequency of excretion exceeds that of normal people, indicating that the digestive system and urinary system are beginning to decline.
4. Decline in sexual ability. Early onset of backache and leg pain in middle-aged people, decreased libido or impotence in men and premature amenorrhea in women are all the first signs of overall physical decline.
5, memory loss, began to forget the names of acquaintances.
6, mental arithmetic ability is getting worse and worse.
7, often regret doing things, irritability, irritability, pessimism, it is difficult to control their emotions.
8, inattention, the ability to concentrate is getting worse and worse.
9. Sleeping time is getting shorter and shorter, and I don't feel tired when I wake up.
10, when you want to do something, you are distracted for no reason, and it is difficult to concentrate in your mind.
1 1, everything is unpleasant, irritable and easy to get angry.
12, in a sensitive and nervous state, afraid and avoiding someone, somewhere, something or something.
13, I am not happy that my life schedule has been disrupted, and I always want to return to my original state. I think and check what I do and what I think, and I am troubled by this repetition.
14, I feel a little unwell or painful, and the doctor can't find the problem, but I still don't feel at ease. I've been thinking about it.
15, it's annoying, but I don't necessarily know why; Doing other things often can't distract you from your troubles, which means you can't get rid of them.
16, depressed, heavy-hearted, depressed all day, unable to lift the spirit and interest in work, study and entertainment.
17, easily tired, or inexplicably feel lack of energy and physical strength.
18, afraid of interacting with people, disgusted with many people, lacking confidence in front of others, and feeling nervous or uncomfortable.
19, fainted when in a bad mood, unable to control emotions and behaviors, and even suddenly unable to speak, see, hold your breath, muscle twitch, etc.
20. I feel that others are bad, others don't understand you, and they are laughing at you or opposing you. I can feel it after the incident. It seems that I have too much to do.
We can check ourselves against the above "signals". The above two items and below are the "yellow light" warning period, so there is no need to worry at present. Those who have the above three to five items are the "red light" prediction period, indicating that the symptoms of "karoshi" have appeared; More than 6 items are the second "red light" crisis period, which can be defined as "fatigue syndrome"-"overwork death" and "reserve army". There are also three kinds of people who are prone to "karoshi": first, people who have money (power), especially those who only know consumption but don't know maintenance; Second, enterprising people, especially those who can be called "workaholics"; Third, people with precocious genes who think they are healthy.
How to get out of sub-health
Medical scientists call health the "first state" of human body and disease the "second state" of human body. Sub-health refers to the marginal state between health and disease, also known as the third state. The occurrence and development of diseases have a process, and many diseases have evolved over time due to the gradual deterioration of health conditions. If we look at the problem from the perspective of development, the human body has some manifestations before the disease state. Although it has not yet constituted a disease, it is obviously in an unhealthy state, that is, a "sub-health" state. According to statistics, at present, more than 70% people in the world are in a state of transition between health and disease.
Due to the accumulation of chronic fatigue, natural aging, the periodic trough of human biological activities and modern physical and mental diseases. , it will cause the sub-health state of human body: in the process of physiological function metabolism, physical fitness will be reduced, and social adaptability will be reduced to varying degrees. Individuals are neither in a healthy state nor meet the criteria for diagnosing diseases, which is called sub-health or "gray state", which is the third state between health and disease.
How to get out of sub-health has become an urgent problem for us to solve. Proper use of health care products can play a certain role, and scientific and moderate exercise is also a good method. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the human body is a huge functional response system with the functions of self-regulation, self-balance, self-recovery and self-construction. Modern research also shows that fitness exercise can stimulate the body through various ways and objectives, mobilize and adjust the internal mechanism of the body, so as to restore or enhance its relative stability. Long-term moderate exercise can enhance the ability of nerve, endocrine and immune regulation, and has a significant effect on improving sub-health constitution and improving the health level of the body.
China's traditional fitness exercise has a long history, and qigong, martial arts and other forms of fitness have been accepted by people and integrated into medical science to adjust the dynamic balance of yin and yang and improve physical bias. Running, swimming, ball games, yoga and other fitness methods in modern society are also widely welcomed by young friends, and they are also effective ways for us to strengthen our physique and get out of sub-health.
When moderate and scientific fitness exercise becomes an indispensable link in our life and a habit, sub-health will be far away from us.
subhealth
The so-called sub-health can be understood as a state of health overdraft, that is, the body does have various discomforts but no organic diseases are found. According to analysis, about 45% of China's population is in a sub-health state. Among the middle-aged senior intellectuals in Shanghai, 75.3% are in sub-health, 19.8% suffer from one or more serious diseases, and only 5% are really healthy. Among the managers of modern enterprises, more than 85% people are in a sub-health state because of working and socializing all day.
Sub-health is a serious problem that cannot be ignored in China, and functional food plays an important role in dealing with sub-health. The reasons for sub-health are summarized as follows:
1, mental and physical overdraft caused by excessive fatigue. Due to the accelerated pace of life and work and increasingly fierce competition, the main organs of the human body are overloaded for a long time, causing physical and mental fatigue. The manifestations are: fatigue, listlessness, distraction, memory loss, sleep disorder, neck, shoulder, waist and knee pain, and sexual dysfunction.
2. The human body will naturally age. The aging of tissues and organs in different degrees is manifested as physical exhaustion, lack of energy, decreased social adaptability, menopausal syndrome, sexual dysfunction, endocrine disorders and so on.
3. Chest tightness, shortness of breath, dizziness, insomnia, forgetfulness, depression, panic, palpitation, nameless pain, edema, alopecia and other discomfort. Early stage and recovery stage of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and other chronic diseases.
4. The low tide in the human biological cycle is characterized by lack of energy, depression, lethargy, inattention, slow response and poor adaptability.
People get sick, so there is a difference between illness and health. Healthy people are not sick, and sick people are unhealthy. Health refers to physical health and prosperity, and health refers to mental happiness and well-being. Disease refers to physical injuries and defects. But in modern society, there is no evidence of physical illness, only weakness, fatigue, lack of food, bad food, restless sleep and listlessness. Said he was sick, there was no evidence, said he was healthy, but he didn't meet the standard. At this time, a new concept appeared, that is, sub-health.
1, 1, the concept of sub-health;
Definition of sub-health
The World Health Organization believes that health is a perfect state of body, mind and communication, not just a physical disease. According to this definition, after strict statistics, less than 2/3 people are really healthy (the first state) and sick (the second state), and more than 1/3 people are in a transitional state between health and illness, which is called "the third state" by the World Health Organization and "sub-health" in China. If the "third state" state is handled properly, the body can be transformed into health; On the other hand, you will get sick. Therefore, the study of sub-health status is an important part of life science research in the next century.
What is sub-health? "It is a low-quality health state between health and disease and its physical, mental and emotional experience." Professor Dong from the Institute of Humanities and Social Sciences of Guangzhou Medical College said. A global survey by the World Health Organization shows that only 5% of the people in the world are really healthy, only 20% are diagnosed as sick by doctors, and 75% are in sub-health state.
1 2, synonymous with sub-health;
Sub-health state refers to some functional changes without organic lesions, also known as the third state. It is also called "uncertain statement syndrome" because its main complaints are varied and unstable. This is a transitional stage between health and disease. There are no physical and psychological diseases, but there are many uncomfortable symptoms and psychological experiences subjectively.
Sub-health state refers to some functional changes without organic lesions, also known as the third state or "gray state". It is also called "uncertain statement syndrome" because its main complaints are varied and unstable. This is a transitional stage between health and disease. There are no physical and psychological diseases, but there are many uncomfortable symptoms and psychological experiences subjectively.
"Sub-health" is a new medical concept. At the end of 1970s, according to the changes of disease spectrum, the medical community changed the simple biomedical model into a bio-psychological-social medical model. 1977 The World Health Organization (who) defines the concept of health as "not just the absence of disease and weakness, but a perfect state of physical, psychological and social adaptation". Since 1980s, China medical community has also carried out a series of research on health and diseases. The results show that there is a huge group in today's society. They have all kinds of physical discomfort, but when they go to the hospital for examination, they can't find organic diseases, and doctors have no better way to treat them. This state is called "sub-health".
Modern medical research shows that there are many reasons for sub-health, such as excessive fatigue leading to overdraft of energy and physical strength; Natural aging of human body; Discomfort of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and other chronic diseases in prophase, convalescence and postoperative rehabilitation; The low tide period in the human biological cycle and so on.
The "sub-health" state can be completely restored by self-regulation of body and mind. At present, stellate ganglion block therapy is the most commonly used and effective method to treat "sub-health". The specific treatment method is to inject drugs directly into the nerve node of the larynx, and the patient will feel that the larynx is locked and the corresponding eyelid droops 15-30 minutes. It can reduce the excitability of overly excited sympathetic nervous system, improve blood circulation, promote natural healing ability, enhance defense function, and play the roles of diminishing inflammation, regulating blood pressure, treating constipation, improving sleep and increasing appetite. Clinically, most people can obviously improve their symptoms by doing 1-2 treatment.
1 3, the definition of health;
Definition of mental health
The definition of mental health has been mentioned in the previous section, which will be discussed in further detail in this section.
Who's definition of health includes three aspects: body; Psychology; Society. That is to say, there is no physical discomfort, perfect psychological spirit and good social adaptation. In other words, to be healthy, you should not only be able to eat, sleep, talk and think, but also make a living in society and get along with people around you. Such people are healthy. So the main reason for this regulation is that the world today has greatly surpassed the past era. Nowadays, science and technology are highly developed, biomedicine is developing rapidly, and physical infections and injuries are relatively easy to treat, so there are fewer and fewer problems. However, the requirements for the brain, that is, the requirements for knowledge are getting higher and higher, stricter and harder, so the problem of brain function is becoming increasingly prominent. In today's high-tech society, on the one hand, it needs group teams, on the other hand, it contains fierce competition, which makes the handling of interpersonal relationships have higher requirements. If the relationship is not handled well, social skills are lacking, and social harmony is lost, you can't be regarded as a healthy person in today's era.
Body, mind and society are closely related. Today's physical damage, mainly physiological function damage, such as dizziness, headache, tinnitus, insomnia (nervous system), palpitation, elevated blood pressure (circulatory system), abdominal distension and belching, diarrhea and constipation (digestive system), is the most common physiological function damage.
Mental health is the most important health.
