In life, health is the biggest source of wealth, which seems easy and has no special significance for the average healthy person.
However, according to the news of the United Nations Health Organization, on April 27th, 20 1 1, the World Health Organization held a global forum to deal with non-communicable diseases in Moscow, Russia. The first global report on the status of non-communicable diseases released at the meeting pointed out that in 2008, 63% of the global population died of non-communicable diseases, equivalent to about 36 million people. Think about it, this figure far exceeds the total number of deaths or deaths from major infectious diseases in any war in the world in one year, and the number of deaths from non-communicable diseases under 60 is 9 million. In other words, he died young.
Among the deaths of non-communicable diseases, cardiovascular diseases account for the largest proportion, causing about170 thousand deaths every year; Followed by cancer (7.6 million), respiratory diseases (4.2 million) and diabetes (6.5438+0.3 million). These four diseases account for about 80% of the total deaths of non-communicable diseases, and they all share four common risk factors: smoking, lack of physical activity, harmful use of alcohol and poor diet.
These figures only show the death toll. But this does not include the people in medical care and the expenses needed for medical care.
We always say that life planning is to hope to live at least a well-off living standard and happiness. However, the actual data show that people's neglect of small details of life such as healthy diet and proper daily exercise may have broken our original beautiful life plan, but the negligence of these two things has caused the medical expenses of non-communicable diseases to account for 7% of the global GDP. In other words, if you don't pay attention to healthy diet and exercise, plus smoking and alcoholism, you will lose 7% of your annual income. Moreover, according to statistics, anyone suffering from these cancers, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and respiratory diseases will spend at least a quarter or even more than 100% of his life income from onset to death, and this cost will be spent in a very short time. So, for people who are still healthy, isn't this figure enough to remind us how important health is? It's really not difficult to get health. As long as we pay a little attention to the small details in life, our health, happiness and wealth will be well guaranteed all our lives.
Then say it now. What should we do?
First, a healthy diet.
What is a healthy diet? A healthy diet refers to a diet in which all foods can reach or indirectly help our body to maintain a weak alkaline state (Ph 7.35-7.45) and contain various minerals, trace elements and vitamins needed by the human body in a balanced way.
Healthy diet also includes a quantitative definition, that is, balanced, small, clean, fresh, less processed and added.
Then someone must want me to make it clear. Give me a few examples.
In fact, the most direct answer is
In terms of food, pure plant food without animal ingredients is the healthiest, and in terms of drinking, natural pure mineral water close to body temperature is the healthiest.
This diet is the easiest to get. If everyone can eat like this, there will be no industrialized livestock products, environmental pollution and greenhouse gases. Air, water and other healthy natural resources will increase, people will live healthily, the earth will be healthy, and the relative economic problems will be solved. Think about what great economic benefits it would be if the expenses spent on war (competition for natural resources) and medical care were saved within one year. And it is loved by all mankind.
According to the calculation of energy consumption and waste discharge, eating less than one catty of beef is equivalent to planting 180 trees.
Two. sports
You must think that I have no sports cells, so I can't play ball. In fact, this is also a misunderstanding that healthy eating has been misled by commercial products for a long time.
The definition of exercise is to make the muscles and bones (including joints) of the whole body move as much as possible for a period of time and take a lot of deep breaths at the same time (only when the air is good, if the world is dominated by vegetables, the atmosphere will be clean and the oxygen content will increase several times. According to the statistics of the World Food and Agriculture Organization, the total number of food animals in the world is 17.5 times that of human beings, and their breathing is as terrible as ours, so I'm sorry to mention it again.
The best advice is to walk 3 kilometers every day. It has definitely achieved the effect of exercising. The maximum time is about 45 minutes. It is suggested not to use motor vehicles within 500 meters, but to use public transport, get off at one stop before arriving at the destination, or park the driver at a distance of 500 meters to one kilometer from the destination or home. You definitely have a chance to exercise.
And by doing so, it can be calculated that each person can reduce carbon emissions by about 350 grams per day. How beneficial it is to exercise and keep healthy.
In addition, I want to remind you that such exercise every day can ensure that you will not be obese and receive proper sunlight.
Maybe you don't know, without exercise and sunshine, no matter what diet, it loses 50% of the efficacy of diet, leading to the accumulation of toxins.
Third, don't smoke, don't drink alcohol (every time the blood alcohol concentration exceeds 2. 1, even if it exceeds the standard). This is a habit, as everyone knows.
Fourth, the most important thing is a healthy catalyst, which is also very important. Otherwise, many people are still unhealthy and go to the hospital after doing the above methods. What is a catalyst for health? Is a positive and healthy heart. How to calculate a healthy heart? China's traditional culture tends to be "Tao" and "golden mean".
The easiest way-leave TV, computer, video games and mobile phones, spend at least one and a half hours a day (non-sleep time) or listen to music, or read books on traditional culture and moral education in China, exercise self-discipline and enjoy family happiness. Sit-in study awakens the nature of China people. "Kindness and contentment" is actually the most important thing. Once you feel satisfied and grateful, you don't have to go camping. Spiritual life is much more active. Together with the above points, real health is within reach.
