Is there any way to keep people from getting sick?

A famous medical professor once said, "What doctors fear most is the mountain-like diseases, such as lobar pneumonia. Because of its obvious symptoms, it can be found early and treated in time, but it is easy to recover; What I fear most is the kind of diseases that sneak into the human body, such as cancer. When it is discovered, it is often out of control! "

Many diseases gradually surfaced after middle-aged and elderly people, but the germination of diseases may be at a young age. We must pay attention to the early signs of some diseases and never be careless, otherwise the consequences they bring are usually terrible. If you can't diagnose some disease signs, you must go to the hospital in time for necessary examination. Maintaining good living habits and regular physical examination can effectively prevent diseases. If you get sick, you can also prevent it before it happens. This is the most important part of health preservation, and it is also the premise of not getting sick.

As early as Neijing, China put forward that "healthy qi should be kept inside, and evil should not cause trouble", that is to say, only by improving one's disease resistance can one not get sick. Only when your body is strong enough, the disease will not come near you, let alone bother you.

Keeping a correct health-preserving way can not only make people healthy, prevent and treat diseases, but also prolong life.

1. Health comes from a civilized lifestyle.

Everyone wants to live a long and healthy life, but not everyone knows how to stay healthy. Some people pin their hopes for health on "supplement" In fact, according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, "deficiency makes up for it", and only people with physical deficiency need to make up for it. Some people think that medicine tonic is not as good as food tonic. In fact, the cream is strong and hurts the spleen and stomach.

So, how can we become healthy? Experts believe that health comes from a civilized and healthy lifestyle.

As far as diet is concerned, the Han people are mainly cereals and vegetables, which is really "green food". However, protein is a bit deficient, so in some areas of the "vegetable basket project", measures have been taken to replace cereals with eggs, milk and meat. However, in economically developed areas, residents eat too much fat. High-fat diet leads to hyperlipidemia, which is the root of arteriosclerosis, which can cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and is the main killer of people's health in China. High-fat diet will also increase the incidence of colorectal cancer, breast cancer, fatty liver and gallstones. High salt is also a problem in China's diet. Excessive salt intake will increase the incidence of hypertension, damage gastric mucosa, increase the incidence of gastritis and gastric ulcer, make carcinogens easy to invade, and cause high incidence of gastric cancer. Therefore, we should advocate a low-fat and low-salt diet. Fresh vegetables are rich in vitamin C, which can inhibit the formation of some carcinogens. Fruits, such as citrus, also contain flavonoids, which have anti-cancer effects, so it is necessary to advocate eating more fresh vegetables and fruits.

Smoking is a bad hobby. The risk of lung cancer, laryngeal cancer, esophageal cancer and bladder cancer of smokers is 10 times, 8 times, 6 times and 4 times higher than that of non-smokers. It is easy to get coronary atherosclerosis, the incidence of cardiovascular diseases increases, smoking destroys bronchial mucosa epithelium, and it is easy to get chronic bronchitis. Alcohol damages the liver, which is occasionally acceptable (for example, drinking wine and avoiding alcoholic liquor), and alcoholics can cause alcoholic cirrhosis. Alcohol is a carcinogen. Those who continue to drink alcohol after hepatitis have an increased incidence of liver cancer, so they should quit smoking and not drink alcohol.

Lack of exercise is also the main shortcoming of modern life. There is an elevator upstairs, a car when going out, hands-free laundry and microwave meals can make a living, which not only lacks exercise, but also simplifies general labor. After a long time, people's physique will deteriorate, so muscle weakness, osteoporosis, fat accumulation. Obesity, lumbar spondylosis and cervical spondylosis followed. Therefore, sports is also a symbol of civilized life. Of course, the amount of exercise varies from person to person, but perseverance is what everyone should do.

A civilized and healthy lifestyle also includes an understanding of health and disease. If some units organize employees to have health check-ups, some people don't want to take part, and think it is unnecessary to find out what their problems are. In fact, diseases exist objectively, and it is better to diagnose and treat many diseases early. If you have the opportunity to have a physical examination, you should naturally take an active part. Another example is that some people suffer from some chronic diseases, such as hypertension and diabetes, and they have no special symptoms for a short time, so they are ignored. After a long time, all kinds of complications appear, or stroke hemiplegia, or neuritis, foot gangrene, it is too late to regret. Some people have heard that some diseases need lifelong treatment, and they think that they can't be cured anyway. Even some hypertensive patients have headaches and only eat cold water to relieve them. In fact, hypertension, diabetes and so on. With careful treatment, blood pressure can be completely reduced to normal level, blood sugar can also be maintained normal, and people can live like normal people.

2. Bad habits are a healthy "casino"

The World Health Organization pointed out that the worst thing for human beings in the 2 1 century is not AIDS, nuclear weapons, plague or cancer, but bad living habits. Bad habits are healthy casinos, and the damage to health is produced unconsciously and over time.

If someone believes that "a cigarette after a meal is as happy as a fairy", they don't know that smoking immediately after a meal will aggravate the harm of tobacco. Because the digestive tract is congested after eating, the absorption function of the gastrointestinal tract is strengthened, and the absorption of toxic substances in smoke is increased. Some people are addicted to alcohol and drink every meal. The incidence of cardiovascular diseases is as high as 59%, and the incidence of liver cirrhosis is 7 times higher than that of normal people. Some people have irregular stools or are unwilling to understand them, so they are prone to habitual constipation. Toxic substances in feces can not be discharged in time, which can cause intestinal self-poisoning, manifested as listlessness, dizziness, anorexia, abdominal distension and belching, which can induce colon cancer. Constipation is also a hidden danger for patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and it is easy to induce angina pectoris and cerebral hemorrhage. Some people often stay up all night watching movies, playing mahjong and playing poker until late at night. In this way, the biological clock in the body will be disrupted, and the function of the nervous system will be disordered, which is easy to induce neurasthenia, high blood pressure and ulcers.

In daily life, we should choose a scientific and healthy lifestyle and make it a habit. Regular diet, regular work and rest, regular sleep, regular exercise, regular defecation, less drinking and no smoking. Good habits are a healthy "bank", and you can extract "health interest" from "health savings" and enjoy it for life. People should control their habits, and never let them control themselves.

3. Good nutrition is the guarantee of anti-aging and longevity.

Yu Ruomu, a nutritionist in China, said: "There are 65,438+00% illiterates and 90% nutrition blindness in China." Many people get sick instead of eating something.

There is a certain proportion of nutrients needed by the human body, and we should not blindly overeat or be partial to food at will. Overeating can lead to obesity, which is a risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, fatty liver, cancer and other diseases. People who are overeating and overweight live 3 ~ 15 years less than normal people. Partial eclipse leads to some overnutrition and some undernutrition. Nutritional deficiency can cause nutritional edema and anemia, night blindness, beriberi, pellagra, scurvy, rickets and a series of diseases. An ancient poem said, "Cooking dragons and phoenixes is not expensive. I advise you to be omnivorous. " Modern nutritionists' research shows that there are more than 50 kinds of nutrients necessary for human body, and none of them can provide all the nutrients needed by human body in natural food. Even if it is recognized as a good nutritional product like milk and eggs, it is inevitable that there will be a "fly in the ointment." Therefore, we can't just eat a certain kind of food to meet all the nutritional needs, but we should eat different foods according to the needs of the body and play a complementary or synergistic role of "learning from each other's strengths". Therefore, if you want good nutrition, you must not be picky eaters or partial eclipse. In the daily diet, there are staple food, non-staple food, meat dishes and vegetarian dishes. To achieve the combination of thickness and meat, that is, rice, wheat and beans are the staple food, all kinds of meat are the non-staple food, and some fruits are added, so that the five internal organs can be fully nourished, full of qi and blood, anti-aging and longevity.

4. Good mood is an immune agent to prevent diseases and prolong life.

Some people are often angry, excited, worried, angry and even furious because of trivial matters. Modern medical research shows that this kind of bad mood is actually the biggest damage to physical and mental health, and it is a "through train" for premature aging and early death. If left unchecked, even the best living habits and nutrition can't achieve the goal of health and longevity. Modern mental health provides people with such enlightenment: a good mood is an immune agent to prevent diseases and prolong life. Marshal Zhu De once said in a poem: "Happiness is courage. You can have a broken belly for anyone to get into, and there are always boats in it. " With such a broad and open-minded mind, a person can "pick it up and let it go" when encountering something, and can dispel the dark clouds that plague him. There will be no "hard things", and his spirit will naturally be relaxed and happy. "A hundred rivers, tolerance is great." A broad-minded person can forgive others' mistakes, think of others' advantages, help others' shortcomings, develop others' strengths, gain others' trust and friendship, and live a happy life, so that disasters and diseases will not be born and live forever. If a person is narrow-minded, indulgent, critical of others, jealous of their advantages, envious of their own abilities, laughing at their own shortcomings, laughing at their own mistakes, causing resentment, troubles and unhappiness everywhere, how can he live long? A good mood is a poem, a song, a painting, the driving force to inspire the sails of life, and the nectar to nourish the viscera.

5. Seven "culprits" that promote the aging of modern people

Noise pollution: living in the city is seriously affected by noise, causing insomnia, irritability, cough, chest tightness, chest pain and so on.

Smoking and alcoholism: Medical scientists have found that facial skin wrinkles of smokers appear 2-3 years earlier than those of non-smokers on average from the age of 20. Female smokers are worse. Long-term alcoholism will lead to chronic alcoholism, causing gastrointestinal ulcers, liver cirrhosis, liver cancer and so on.

Improper diet: Long-term irregular diet, hungry or partial eclipse, and insufficient intake of multivitamins in vegetables will all affect the normal physiological metabolism of the human body, thus accelerating the process of aging.

Long-term indulgence: Chinese medicine believes that kidney essence is the foundation of life, and damage to kidney essence will inevitably affect life span, which is most likely to lead to premature aging. Long-term indulgence in sexual life will lead to deficiency of kidney essence and premature senility due to yang deficiency.

Watching TV for a long time: Watching TV for a long time will cause skin pigmentation, freckles, insomnia, dreaminess and impatience. Over time, physical fitness will decline and immune function will be damaged, leading to aging.

Bad mood: any bad mood, such as disappointment, depression, jealousy, anxiety, sadness, pessimism, etc. If it is not solved for a long time, it will damage physical and mental health and lead to premature aging.

Living alone: conjugal love can lead to a long life. Widowed, lonely, often feel inferior and self-pity, psychological pressure is too great, leading to premature psychological aging.

6. Negative ion anti-aging

The younger you are, the faster your physical strength will recover. If the child falls, pat his ass and get up and leave; But the old man fell and patted his ass, but he was still lying there. The results showed that 80% of children were negative ions and 20% were positive ions. But after the age of 40, positive ions will increase greatly, while negative ions will decrease gradually. What's more, living in a city, we have no chance to absorb negative ions. Walking on the asphalt road is easy to get heatstroke. At this time, we have understood the truth: the yellow soil or grassland will release negative ions, while the asphalt road will release positive ions.

Traditional medicine in China believes that when Yin and Yang are out of balance, all diseases are prone to occur. Negative ions are sucked away, which is called oxidation; After the reunification, it is called reduction. People get sick because the speed of oxidation exceeds the speed of reduction. And the extreme of oxidation is death. The secret of health is to reduce oxidation and increase reduction. The easiest way to increase negative ions is to often walk barefoot on the grass, because the earth itself will release negative ions (called earth gas in qigong). Supplementing negative ions can restore health, especially for patients with diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and cancer. Patients with hypertension recover the fastest. As long as they walk barefoot on turf, wood or pebbles for half an hour every day for two weeks or wear sandals, there will be great differences. If we go to nature, we will find that we can only walk for half an hour, but we can walk for two hours here, and the more comfortable we walk, the more enjoyable we walk and the more energetic we walk. Because the body absorbs negative ions released by nature.

7. Teach you to enhance your immunity

A person's disease resistance is mainly due to internal factors, but it can't be separated from external factors to a great extent. Therefore, experts suggest that appropriate external conditions should be created to enhance the body's immunity.

(1) Eat herbal foods reasonably: These foods can balance human functions, regulate endocrine, stabilize the immune system, remove harmful substances from the body, protect the immune system, provide special nutrients such as vitamins and minerals, and nourish the immune system. Therefore, it is beneficial to reasonably eat hawthorn, ginger, oranges, mushrooms, soybeans, ginseng, fungus, loofah and other herbal foods.

(2) Better sleep quality: During sleep, the human body will produce a sleep factor called muramic acid, which can promote the increase of white blood cells, activate macrophages and enhance the detoxification function of the liver, thus eliminating invading bacteria or viruses. It is not advisable to "burn the midnight oil" frequently.

(3) Eat fruit before meals: According to immunologists, the stimulation of cooked food after meals will make the immune system in the body have the illusion of "wolf coming", and mobilizing the whole body to "protect the soil" to strengthen the alert will often damage the immune system and reduce immunity. If you eat fruit before meals 1 hour, you can eliminate the bad stimulation of cooked food and protect the immune system.

(4) Eat raw vegetables: Vegetables contain a lot of interferon inducers, which can prevent diseases and cancer. However, this beneficial component of vegetables is very delicate, not high temperature resistant and unstable at 100℃. Therefore, eat raw cucumbers, celery, tomatoes, lettuce and so on. It is delicious and can get a lot of nutrition.

(5) Reasonable sun exposure: Ultraviolet rays in sunlight can stimulate T- dehydrocholesterol in human skin to be converted into vitamin D ... Don't underestimate this very common vitamin. Only 0.009 mg per day can enhance immunity 1 times.

(6) Laugh more: Laughter can stimulate many immune-related chemicals in the human body, such as catecholamine, thus enhancing immunity. Laughing often can keep people young and energetic.

(7) Physical exercise: Exercise can increase interleukin in blood, thus enhancing the activity of natural killer cells and eliminating viruses and cancer cells. But moderate exercise is better, and high-intensity strenuous exercise weakens immunity, so exercise must be moderate.

8. Health starts with the little things around you.

(1) Eat a nutritious breakfast: Many studies show that if a person eats a nutritious breakfast in the morning, it can not only improve the brain's reaction speed, but also improve the study and work efficiency of the day.

(2) Eat vegetables and fruits every day: A survey shows that people who eat more vegetables and fruits are much less likely to suffer from cancer and heart disease than others.

(3) Exercise for 30 minutes every day: Many studies have pointed out that exercising for 30 minutes every day can not only prevent many diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, obesity and depression. It can also make people full of hope and enhance self-confidence.

(4) Clean the nasal cavity every day: When washing your face every morning, remember to gently suck cold water into the nasal cavity for cleaning. This is a measure to kill two birds with one stone, which not only stimulates the nasal cavity but also cleans it. After such daily practice, the nasal cavity gradually gets used to the low temperature, and it will be normal if cold air invades, so it is not easy to catch a cold.

(5) Active cough: The lung is one of the most easily accumulated organs in the human body. Toxic substances in dust, metal particles and waste gas in nature invade the lungs through the respiratory tract, which not only damages the lungs, but also enters the blood from the lungs and "implicates" the whole body through blood circulation. You can "clean" your lungs by coughing actively. The specific method is: every morning, at noon or before going to bed, do deep breathing exercise in the fresh outdoor air. Raise your arms slowly when you take a deep breath, then cough actively, let the air flow out of your mouth and nose, and you will cough up phlegm. Repeat this for 10 times, and breathe normally several times after each time. As long as you keep doing it every day, your lungs can be kept clean.

(6) Introduce nature indoors: Research data show that if a person quietly listens to the sound of rain beating leaves, or intently appreciates the swimming movements of fish in a fish tank, he can calm his mind. Experts suggest that if you plant a few pots of flowers at home or in the office, or raise a few fish, you can also have some effects.

(7) Quit smoking: Relevant data show that a cigarette will release more than 4,000 chemicals, of which more than 40 can cause cancer. According to a survey, the probability of smokers dying of lung cancer is 16 times that of non-smokers. Secondhand smoke is more harmful than first-hand smoke, and children are often the biggest victims of secondhand smoke.

(8) Turn off the TV while eating: Scholars who study children's obesity and watching habits have found that children who watch TV while eating will gradually gain weight.

(9) Pay attention to the combination of work and rest: after work, you should know how to use entertainment to adjust the tension of your body. You might as well try this method: prepare a scrapbook, then paste humorous materials such as cartoons and jokes accumulated at ordinary times on it, and take time out to read them every day, so as to create several opportunities for yourself to laugh loudly and relieve the pressure brought by work.

(10) Regular sleep: Regular daily life makes the functions of various parts in the body highly unified with the external environment.

9. Test your health index.

According to the research report of the World Health Organization, one-third of human diseases can be avoided through preventive health care, one-third can be effectively controlled through early detection, and one-third can improve the treatment effect through effective communication of information. Therefore, it is very important to know what diseases or hidden dangers exist in your body in time. Because many times, although there is nothing abnormal in the body, there may be lesions in the incubation period, such as hyperlipidemia or diabetes. If found early, it can be treated in time. Experts suggest that we should have a comprehensive health check-up regularly. In addition, there are some simple and practical health detection methods, which allow us to check our physical condition anytime and anywhere, control our health trends at any time, and take corresponding countermeasures in time.

(1) "Punctuality"-Test the degree of aging: Balance ability is of great significance in human life. Professor Yamada from kyoto prefectural university of medicine, Japan, based on the research of human tissues for more than 30 years, proposed a simple and easy self-testing method for human aging. Specific methods: The self-tester clings his hands to his sides, closes his eyes and stands upright on one foot, and then judges his aging degree according to his "time of not falling down". Judgment standard: 9.9 seconds, male physiological age is 30 ~ 35 years old, female physiological age is 40 ~ 49 years old; 8.4 seconds: the physiological age of men is 40 ~ 49 years old, and that of women is 50 ~ 59 years old; 7.4 seconds: the physiological age of men is 50 ~ 59 years old, and that of women is 60 ~ 69 years old; 5.8 seconds: the physiological age of men is 60 ~ 69 years old, and that of women is 70 ~ 79 years old. People who fail to meet the standards will have a faster degree of aging, that is, the physiological age is higher than the actual age.

(2) Waist-hip ratio-an index for detecting fat: WHR is a simple index reflecting the distribution of body fat, which is usually used by the World Health Organization to measure whether a person's body is obese or healthy. Maintaining an appropriate ratio of hip circumference to waist circumference is of great significance to adults' physique, health and longevity. Many studies have proved that this ratio is closely related to the incidence of cardiovascular disease. The standard waist-hip ratio is less than 0.8 for men and 0.7 for women. According to the standard recommended by American Sports Medicine Association 1997, WHR for men is >: 0.95, WHR for women is >: 0.86 is the data of waist-hip ratio and cardiovascular disease risk. Note that you must take a standing posture when measuring.

(3) Breath-holding time-test lung function: take a deep breath, then hold your breath for as long as possible, and then exhale slowly, preferably for 3 seconds. Holding your breath to the maximum, a 20-year-old healthy person can hold on for 90 ~ 120 seconds. For a person over 50, it takes about 30 seconds.

(4) Pulse-cardiac function: add three pulse numbers, subtract 200, and divide by 10: (pulse A+ pulse B+ pulse C-200)/ 10. If the result is: 0 ~ 3, your heart is strong; 3 ~ 6 kind hearts; 6 ~ 9 heart is average; 9 ~ 12 heart is not very good; /kloc-more than 0/2, you should find a doctor in time.

(5) Sit-ups-physical strength test: The best performance of 20-year-old healthy people in sit-ups within 1 min is 45 ~ 50 ups and downs; 40 ~ 45 times for people aged 30; 35 ~ 40 times for 40-year-olds; 25 ~ 30 times at the age of 50; 15 ~ 20 times for people aged 60.

(6) Climbing stairs-check physical strength and leg strength: one step and two steps can quickly climb to the fifth floor, indicating good health: climb to the fifth floor first, no obvious asthma, good health; If you are panting and short of breath, you are poor; You are out of breath when you climb to the third floor, which means you are weak. You should go to the hospital to find out the reason further, don't be careless.
