Everyone may have heard of the World Health Organization (WHO), which is responsible for the health of people all over the world. It once published a set of data, telling us that in this world, 5% people are in a healthy state, 20% people are sick, and the remaining 75% people are in a sub-health state.
In fact, from the perspective of health, people always wander between health and disease, and in this life, they will always walk on the way to the hospital. (This is not a pessimistic idea)
So in this case, people are either healthy or sick. In this intermediate stage, many people call it sub-health.
Is this the right name?
What does sub-health mean?
We can give an example to illustrate. Many people have heard of coronary heart disease, which refers to the blockage of arteries that supply blood to people's hearts. When the blockage reaches about 70%, people will feel uncomfortable, and there will be symptoms of palpitation, shortness of breath and chest tightness. See a doctor at this time, and the doctor will tell you that you have coronary heart disease after examination and diagnosis.
But think about it, blood vessels will not be blocked to 70% at once, and blood vessels will not be blocked to 70%. We often call it sub-health.
So can you see it? Sub-health is actually the early stage of the disease. Many of us go to see a doctor now. In fact, he didn't go until he was in the late stage of illness. Because we usually go to the hospital when our bodies can't stand it.
But in the process of disease development, why can't people stand this stage? This involves the essence of sub-health, which is actually a process of consuming reserves.
What does reserve mean? Just waiting for use, just like we usually keep money in the bank as a reserve, this is capital preparation, which means waiting for use. And our bodies also have such a reserve mechanism. For example, we often hear about kidney transplantation, but only one kidney can live well. Why do we have two kidneys? This is the so-called reserve.
Being reserved is a very good thing. It is precisely because of the functional reserves of all parts of our bodies that we can challenge the limits. For example, athletes participating in the Olympic Games are making maximum use of their reserves. We usually say that human potential refers to the functional reserves of various parts of the human body, the process of stimulating potential, and the use of a large number of reserves.
However, reserves also have its disadvantages, which lead to most of our diseases having no symptoms in the early stage, and it is difficult for us to find them, just like coronary heart disease and early cancer.
Let me give another example to explain why reserves have its shortcomings. For example, our lungs, as we all know, have two lungs. Usually we sit and talk for a day, half of it is enough, but if we want to run, we may need the whole lung. What about the other one? This is a spare. If one day, something grows on the right lung, just a small thing, because there is a reserve, it will definitely not affect people's normal breathing function. There will be no symptoms of chest tightness and shortness of breath, that is to say, because there is no feeling, we don't know that such things have grown on us. So you won't see a doctor. Sickness is like this. If you turn a blind eye to it, it will continue to grow, and the longer it is, the bigger it will be until one day it runs out of reserves. At this time, some symptoms will appear. You go to see a doctor, it's in the advanced stage of lung cancer.
Therefore, it is very important to correctly understand sub-health. Understand, you know that you should always pay attention to your health and do your own health maintenance, that is, do your own health maintenance and investment.

In life, we always go to see a doctor when we feel something. The essence of sub-health tells us that our body is in a stage of long-term illness without feeling.
I know sub-health today, and I hope everyone can treat their bodies correctly in the future.
How? Is to take the initiative to consciously check their health, to regularly assess their health, that is, to do a maintenance.
There is a very interesting phenomenon in life. What is this? It's just a crowd. Now that he has bought a new car, he knows to scrub it every day and maintain it regularly. When it's time for overhaul, isn't it just to keep the car running for a few more years?
However, we can be said to be the most sophisticated instrument in the world, but we never overhaul it regularly. Some people don't repair even if they go to check, until one day they can't support themselves and have to be sent to the hospital for overhaul.
In fact, people are really pushed onto the operating table, and when they are waiting to be repaired, they are really not as good as a car. People have spare parts for cars. Does anyone have one?
Maintenance is not simple, just go to the hospital for some routine physical examination. At the same time, he also needs us to make a comprehensive assessment of health in combination with various physical changes in life, such as sleep, diet, digestion, fatigue, weight and many other details.
In addition, it is also a common phenomenon to be careless in life. Many people find that they are hyperlipidemia, because hyperlipidemia does not affect their daily work and life, so many people do not pay attention to it. In fact, on the day of hyperlipidemia, the rapid development of myocardial infarction and cerebral thrombosis began from this time. Therefore, if there are problems in the inspection, we must not ignore them and solve them in time, otherwise it is meaningless to just do an inspection. In this way, it will give the disease a chance to develop rapidly and eventually cause serious consequences.
Like what? Just like an apple, it has been at home for more than two months, and it hasn't broken, but one day, once you find it is a little broken, the apple will rot within a week.

Through the understanding of sub-health, we know that sub-health is actually the early stage of disease, that is to say, only 5% of people in this world are healthy, while 95% are sick.
But now in the environment where we live, you can see that there are harmful gases in the air, a lot of harmful substances in the water, chemical fertilizers and pesticide residues in the rice we eat ... In the process of taking a breath, drinking saliva and eating a meal, our bodies will be hurt. So health is relative, and there is nothing absolute in the world. We are all patients, all on the way to the hospital, not far from the hospital gate.
Therefore, when we know sub-health and know that it is a process of consuming reserves, we should pay attention to it and overhaul our body once a year to achieve pre-conditioning, instead of going to the hospital for overhaul!
