We often find a strange phenomenon. People in a family have very similar health conditions, and they may often suffer from the same disease.
If parents are obese, children are often obese. Some people in our family have diabetes, and often their next generation is also prone to diabetes. Some families have heart disease, and often their next generation may also have heart disease.
In fact, the inheritance of many diseases is only one factor; On the other hand, the important factor is that the living habits of their family are very similar.
Therefore, family health managers have become a very important member of every family, especially those who are responsible for buying food and cooking. These people should become qualified family health managers.
As you can see from the picture, the World Health Organization (who) points out that only 15%, medical factors account for 8% and self-care accounts for 60%.
Therefore, many people often rely on doctors and hospitals for our health, which is wrong, and more should be self-care.
Therefore, our family atmosphere, diet structure and living habits are very important to our personal and social health. Family-based health management has become an important prerequisite for the health of our society.
Cultivating good family health awareness is the premise of realizing the health of the whole society. Then the inheritance of this good habit is the basis of the healthy concept of the whole family and even the whole society in the future.
We learn to manage health and help our families manage health at the same time, which is actually to reduce trouble for society and hospitals. When each of us and every family is willing to spend 1 yuan on health management, we can save the medical expenses in 8 yuan and the rescue expenses of 100 yuan, so this investment is very worthwhile.
Immunity is our body's own defense mechanism. For COVID-19, the higher the immunity, the lower the infection rate and incidence rate, and the stronger the ability to resist diseases.
Such a sudden epidemic has made each of us realize the importance of immunity.
When human immunity is low, it is often easily infected by bacteria, viruses and fungi. The most direct manifestation is frequent illness.
And this COVID-19, it is a self-limiting disease, the so-called self-limiting, that is to say, the disease can be relieved or cured by itself.
Clinical common self-limiting diseases include measles, chickenpox, viral cold, hepatitis A and so on. Although, self-limited diseases can heal themselves. However, because everyone's physical condition is very different.
So each system reacts differently to virus infection, so the speed of body recovery is different.
For this self-limited disease, the hospital focuses on symptomatic treatment to alleviate the symptoms of patients and avoid developing into serious diseases.
Therefore, the purpose of patients entering the hospital is to slowly restore immunity. We will see on the news that many elderly people in their eighties and nineties can be cured and discharged. But many doctors in their thirties and forties and even celebrities will die.
Because doctors in Hubei have not had a good rest for more than a month, their bodies have been seriously overdrawn, they have not eaten well, they have not rested well, and their bodies have been extremely tired, so when they are infected with this virus, their immunity is not enough to compete with the virus.
So, where does good immunity come from?
It is very important for each of us to manage our own health, which is why we advocate that every family should send at least one person to study health management.
We should lay a good foundation for our family, so that we can have a good state, good immunity and good recovery in the face of viruses and bacteria.
So, how can we improve our immunity?
The China Nutrition Society suggests that you should do four things:
The first aspect is to remain optimistic.
Immunity is closely related to people's emotions. Studies have found that negative emotions such as sadness, loss and anxiety can lead to the decline of human immunity.
And cheerful and lively personality, happy mood, is conducive to improving human immunity.
Therefore, as long as we are in a happy and balanced state, our immunity is the strongest.
Some people don't know how to relieve stress. Long-term great psychological pressure and negative emotions will prompt the body to secrete hormones that inhibit immunity, making it more susceptible to colds or other diseases.
In the second aspect, I suggest you do moderate exercise.
Studies have shown that if everyone exercises for 30 to 45 minutes a day, 5 days a week for 12 weeks, the number of immune cells will increase and the resistance will be enhanced.
I suggest that moderate and mild aerobic exercise is the best exercise, instead of going to the gym to do a lot of exercise.
The third aspect is adequate sleep.
When we have enough sleep, our resistance will be better. When people go to sleep, various functional processes that are beneficial to enhancing immunity will begin.
So it is best to sleep for about 8 hours every day. It is recommended to go to bed before 23 o'clock, and don't stay up late. Long-term lack of sleep will cause damage to the body, decreased thinking and low immunity.
The fourth aspect is nutritional balance.
Try to eat every day, the food is varied, don't always eat a certain kind of food, that is to say, don't be picky about food. When we are picky about food, it is easy to lead to nutritional imbalance.
This is the China Residents' Dietary Pagoda, with balanced plates for your reference.
When a person is under stress, the decomposition of protein in the body will increase, which will increase our urine nitrogen output. Therefore, we must not lack protein in our diet.
If the body lacks protein, the amount of immunoglobulin will decrease, which will lead to the decline of immune function. So be sure to eat high-quality and high-protein food.
High-quality protein contains animal protein and plant protein, and animal protein is more easily absorbed by human body. Here is a simple formula: four-legged ones are not as good as two-legged, and two-legged ones are not as good as those without shaking their legs. Pigs, cattle and sheep with four legs, chickens, ducks and geese with two legs, fish without legs, duck eggs and so on.
In addition to animal protein, there are also plant proteins. Soybean is one of the most abundant plants in protein. However, some ingredients in soybean are not suitable for human consumption, so soybean and soybean milk should be cooked thoroughly before eating.
At the same time, when eating protein food, we should add some B-group, vitamins and minerals.
When we master a lot of health management knowledge, buy food and cook for our family every day, or when our family is unwell, we will know how to use diet therapy to help our family recuperate, which is a very good result.
