1, the risk of family members * * * is half higher.
Mr. Liu, 52, took his father and son into the anorectal department of a hospital. In recent years, three generations of grandparents and grandchildren have been tortured by hemorrhoids. After the doctor knew the situation in detail, he suggested that Mr. Liu come to see a doctor together for three generations. It turns out that Mr. Liu's family is a scholarly family, and everyone in the family has a good habit of reading. There are books everywhere in the house. And these three people all have a * * * lifestyle-reading when going to the toilet, sometimes reading for half an hour. The doctor said that reading books and playing with mobile phones when going to the toilet is one of the important causes of hemorrhoids.
Wang Zhixing, director of the Department of Endocrinology, Aviation General Hospital of China Medical University, pointed out that the living habits of family members have a far-reaching impact on the health of the whole family. More and more couples, even a family of three, have suffered from one or more diseases for generations. "I once treated a heart patient. Two years ago, my husband had a heart attack and my wife was in charge of it. Later, she suffered from the same disease herself. It is understood that both of them love to eat meat, which tastes salty and heavy. This kind of bad living habits will be' infected' to each other, and then suffer from' husband and wife disease', which has nothing to do with heredity, viruses and bacteria. "
Wang Zhixing introduced that clinically, some couples suffer from stroke, coronary heart disease, diabetes and cancer, and some fathers and sons find hypertension and hyperlipidemia at the same time, which is very common. The incidence of chronic diseases in urban residents is high, showing a trend of family aggregation, which is called "family aggregation" disease in medicine, referred to as family disease for short. After investigating 680,000 samples in "20 12 White Paper on the Health of Urban Residents in China", it is found that family-based lifestyle diseases have gradually become a new health killer, and their harm has surpassed that of family hereditary diseases. Among them, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, fatty liver, obesity, gastritis, colorectal cancer and lung cancer are the most common.
Not only that, family diseases are spreading all over the world. A recent study in Britain collected the medical history of more than 500,000 families and analyzed 12 common diseases, including hypertension, heart disease, certain cancers and mental illness. The results show that the living habits of family members may increase the risk of other members suffering from certain diseases, which is as high as 47%. The reason is that family members always live in the same living space and have similar eating habits.
2. A bad lifestyle is a virus.
Compared with the social environment, we usually naturally think that the food and environment in the family are safer and cleaner. As everyone knows, the family also hides many health risks that are easily overlooked. Jiang Mei, director of China Health Management Association and chief physician of Nortel Hospital, pointed out that family diseases originated from the family, and the lifestyle, psychological state, health concept and geographical environment of the whole family may be the factors for the spread of family diseases.
A bad lifestyle is like bacteria and viruses. Jiang Mei said, on the one hand, bad living habits spread faster in the family, and it is imperceptible, and it is easy to form a kind of "family behavior". For example, parents love sweets and snacks, and children may be "inherited"; Not loving sports and staying up late are also common "behavioral infectious diseases". On the other hand, although some unhealthy lifestyles are not contagious, they will indirectly affect others. For example, if a father smokes, even if his wife and children don't smoke, they will be hurt by "second-hand smoke", and the risk of lung disease is much higher than that of non-smoking families.
1, the bad mood of family members can be contagious. Emotions that pervade a family will also unconsciously affect people's health. Some parents are impatient, and their children will inevitably be affected by it. And impatient people often have high blood pressure, as well as children and spouses. May also have high blood pressure. Others are gloomy and belong to the "cancer character". Many children's conduct disorder, anxiety and depression are all related to their parents' strict requirements and demanding results.
The concept of health has influenced several generations. Some elders have poor health awareness and scoff at health preventive measures such as physical examination and vaccines, always feeling that there is nothing wrong with them. Others are keen to "entrust" their health to health care products, while others worry about the surrounding environment every day and wonder if they are sick. There are many incorrect health concepts. When a family lives together for a long time, these concepts will subtly affect everyone, leading to the convergence of family health concepts.
3. Regional customs become the driving force behind the scenes. Jiang Mei said that the health habits of families will be influenced by regions. China is a vast country with huge differences in customs and habits, which is also the reason for the complex disease spectrum in China. Northeast people like to eat high-oil and high-fat dishes, Hunan people like to chew betel nuts, Chaoshan people like to drink boiling kungfu tea, and so on. To integrate into a family, it is necessary to "do as the Romans do", and people will be more or less influenced by regional habits, leading to regional high incidence of diseases such as hypertension, oral cancer and esophageal cancer.
In contrast, genetic diseases related to genes and family history are limited to vertical families, and most of them can be screened through premarital examination. However, family diseases will spread horizontally, and there is no difference in "attacking" family members, so it is more harmful. Jiang Mei said that the burden and cost of family diseases are higher. As the saying goes, "a leopard cannot change his spots", it takes great efforts to change a salty person's taste, soften a grumpy person and make a smoker quit smoking.
3, the whole family to enhance health awareness.
Preventing and controlling family diseases mainly depends on improving people's health awareness and not creating opportunities for bad living habits.
The two experts called on the government to strengthen the intensity and popularization of health education, go deep into communities and rural areas, and be grounded. It is not limited to hanging several exhibition boards in the community all the year round. Health management institutions and hospital health management departments should assist the community and pass on reliable health knowledge and ideas to the grassroots. In addition, it is very effective to give play to the leverage of children's family health and strengthen health education from school. When children come home, they will use what they have learned to influence the behavior of adults.
Jiang Mei believes that starting from every member of the family, improving bad habits is the basis of keeping healthy.
First of all, elders should set an example. Live a regular life, eat healthily, walk more and exercise more, improve health literacy, try to reduce the number of eating out and exercise more outdoors. For example, ask children to go to bed early and get up early, and don't find any reason to stay up late.
Second, the mother is the goalkeeper of family health. "Illness comes from the mouth", and family diet determines the healthy trend of family members. People who cook at home should have a certain knowledge of food hygiene, reasonably match nutrition, and the meat staple food accounts for 1/3 of each meal, with less oil and salt, and prepare some fruits after meals.
Third, don't take it out on your family. Get rid of the outside air at home, and don't take it home. Tell yourself before entering the room that this door is a threshold of mental health, leaving all unhappiness and depression outside. Discuss with your family when you encounter difficulties, so as to avoid negative emotions from infecting each other.
Fourth, get a family physical examination card. From the elderly to children, regular health screening, the whole family to develop a good habit of regular physical examination.
4. Develop a correct lifestyle
1, good work and rest time: everyone's energy is limited, and only energy will be efficient. A good work and rest is the premise to ensure whether you have energy or not. Many modern people are reluctant to say goodbye to today when they lie in bed at night, but it is actually very harmful to their health to let their mobile phones sleep with them. Over time, they will lose their spirit.
2. Appropriate physical exercise: Life lies in exercise. Effective physical exercise can help you get rid of the garbage in your body, increase blood circulation, enhance metabolism, and let yourself have a healthy body, and a healthy body can make you more and more confident.
3. Appropriate entertainment in spare time: Everyone needs spiritual enjoyment. Imagine that if you are busy all day and your mind is working, you will naturally be in a bad mood. At this time, you can let yourself listen to music, watch your favorite TV series, or invite friends to play some e-sports. It's good, too. Spiritual enjoyment will make you full of energy forever.
4. Reasonable diet and nutrition: You need nutrition to extend every life, and so do we. A diet that suits us will naturally make us grow up healthily. Don't overeat, let alone be picky about food. People at each stage need different nutrition, so we should try our best to diversify our diet and not be too single.
5. Don't smoke and drink: In many businesses now, "alcohol and tobacco" comes first, followed by "research". I don't deny that many businesses are negotiated on the wine table, but businessmen will definitely "study" when they have profits, not because of your "research". Too much alcohol is harmful to our health, and smoking is more harmful to our internal organs. So we should face ourselves squarely, and don't smoke or drink for ourselves at ordinary times.
6. Learn to think: people's enjoyment can be divided into material enjoyment and spiritual enjoyment, and spiritual enjoyment is to make themselves feel extremely happy and realize their self-worth. Learn to think at ordinary times. Only by learning to think can you calm yourself down and make yourself peaceful. A calm way of doing things is inseparable from our correct thinking, which is also very helpful for our future development and lays the foundation for our better development in the future.
