Two years ago, there was a hit drama "My Puppy Girlfriend", which told the story of a female white-collar worker suffering from premature menopause syndrome under the double blow of failed promotion and breaking up with her boyfriend.

Menopause, which everyone is familiar with, is a specific period of people's transition from middle age to old age. Generally, it will not be earlier than 40 years old, but between 45 and 55 years old, and the male is a little later. In addition to the decline of some functions of the body, menopause will also have psychological symptoms such as irritability, palpitation and shortness of breath.

Morning shift refers to the phenomenon of early menopause syndrome, which has recently occurred more and more in young people before the age of 40.

For this problem, many people will think about it from the aspects of social pressure and personal emotions.

However, the book Young Menopausal People: A Guide to Repairing Physical Vulnerability tells us that, in addition to external pressure and mental factors, young people often have morning shifts or various abnormal physical symptoms, which is closely related to people's ignorance of the functions of their organs and how to maintain their normal operation.

The author of this book, Hao Xu, is a doctor of medicine with rich clinical experience and a member of China Medical Media Alliance. He is good at using "indecent" language to explain "very strict" medical common sense to everyone.

The author believes that the reason why young people have menopausal symptoms or other diseases is mainly due to physical dysfunction. However, he does not advocate giving up some enjoyment and fun in order to keep in good health and live an ascetic life.

In this book, it is pointed out that the pursuit of balance can make everyone feel the happiness of life to the greatest extent while maintaining good health.

0 1 unbalanced performance

The imbalance of physical function is manifested in many aspects, some of which have developed to a certain extent and need medical treatment. And some may only be mild symptoms, which can be adjusted and controlled in daily life. Such as obesity, sleep disorders and so on. Some of these diseases are getting younger and younger, such as diabetes.

Around us, many beauty lovers are either losing weight or preparing to lose weight. Eating diet pills, dieting, exercising, all kinds of ways have been exhausted, which may have some effects in the short term, but they were accidentally beaten back to their original shape and returned to before liberation.

This is actually related to the fact that we have not found the real cause of obesity, that is, we have not found the balance between absorption and consumption of the body.

Regarding sleep disorders, there was once a big data on Ali platform, which showed that the number of insomniacs after 90 accounted for about 40% of the total number, becoming the main force of insomnia. Experts pointed out that sleep is an extremely important physiological function to maintain human life, and it is very important to the human body. Insomnia is the imbalance of this physiological function.

Let's look at diabetes. 202 1, 165438,1October 7, a message broke out in the circle of friends, causing the whole network to boil. That is, in the League of Legends global finals held in Reykjavik, Iceland, the EDG team of China E-sports Club beat the DK team of South Korea by 3:2, and won the third S championship of LPL.

The news made many young people go to the streets to attend the party at midnight. It also made many uncles look embarrassed and quickly searched up and down the Internet to make up for the e-sports terms, so as not to be eliminated by the times.

However, people who rub the rhythm may not know that there is a person named "the eternal God" in the e-sports field in China, and he is Jian Zihao Jianzihao. In June 2020, he had to announce his retirement, which caused the whole e-sports circle to shake and rushed to Weibo for hot search. What puzzles him is type 2 diabetes.

The emergence of these diseases is due to various reasons leading to the imbalance of physical function.

02 causes of imbalance

Dr. Xu believes that there are several reasons for the imbalance of physical function: great pressure and irregular life; Do not pay attention to the rich and balanced nutrition in the diet; Wrong health care methods and so on.

Now people have to bear the pressure of work on the one hand, and family and life on the other. With stress comes an irregular life. For example, sometimes I am so busy that I forget to eat, and sometimes I work overtime until late at night to eat snacks.

These irregular lives may lead to digestive system diseases or sleep disorders.

Take diabetes as an example. In recent years, the trend of "rejuvenation" of diabetes has become more and more obvious. According to the statistics recently published by the International Diabetes Federation, the adult prevalence rate in China has reached 1 1.2%. Among people aged 30 to 39, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes is as high as 6.3%.

Diabetes is a chronic disease, which is mainly manifested by the fact that the pancreas can't secrete enough insulin or the body can't effectively use the insulin produced, which leads to the increase of blood sugar concentration.

Among them, 1 diabetic patients can't secrete insulin by themselves and need insulin injection to maintain their lives; Type 2 diabetes accounts for about 90% of the total number of diabetes cases, and patients cannot use insulin effectively. Diabetes is usually caused by overnutrition, overweight and insufficient physical activity.

There are also some functional disorders, which may be due to the wrong way of keeping in good health. For example, in the circle of friends, there was once a "timetable for the work of human organs", which was regarded as a treasure by people who pursued health preservation: every day, 2 1 to 23: 00 is the time for the immune system to detoxify, 23: 00 to 1 early morning is the time for the liver to detoxify, and 1 to 3: 00 am is the time for the large intestine to detoxify. ...

The starting point of this timetable is good. I want to remind everyone to have a rest and not to stay up late. But from a professional point of view, Dr. Xu joked that this is purely a "brain hole", which violates the normal operation of human organs.

These incorrect lifestyles will lead to the imbalance of physical function.

03 Pursuing balance

Now there is a popular way to keep in good health called punk health. For example, use the most expensive eye cream to stay up the longest; When drinking beer, add a few medlars to eat spicy hot pot with Wang Laoji herbal tea; Stick a plaster or something before disco dancing. This is a way for contemporary young people to save themselves before they die.

Dr Xu is not against punk health. He thinks that we all need health and happiness. But he wants everyone to know some medical knowledge and increase a little self-control. In his view, the concept of punk health preservation is actually a balanced lifestyle.

A balanced regimen can be divided into three aspects: nutritional balance, dynamic and static balance and psychological balance.

Nutritional balance is to absorb all aspects of nutrition, and don't just regard health preservation as vegetarian dishes and high-protein foods. Protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, water and other nutrients are needed for the functional operation of our human body.

In daily life, we should pay attention to the comprehensiveness and richness of nutrition. If there are two kinds of food to choose from: fried rice with eggs and mala Tang. Usually people think that fried rice with eggs is healthier because there are carbohydrates in protein. However, Dr. Xu suggested choosing mala Tang, because there are many varieties and richer nutrients.

Exercise is an unavoidable topic when we talk about health preservation. As the saying goes, life lies in exercise.

With the progress of science and technology, more and more work can only be done by computers. Therefore, sedentary is the norm for most office workers.

Sedentary may lead to "static death syndrome". It is characterized by slow venous blood return, increased blood viscosity, thrombosis, pulmonary embolism and sudden cardiac death.

There are countless examples of cervical spondylosis and spinal curvature caused by long-term sedentary. There are also obesity, high blood sugar and some cancers, which have been proved to be related to a static lifestyle.

In the book, Dr. Xu suggested that we can reduce the static time by interrupting the static behavior. For example, we can divide the original hours of sedentary time into multiple time periods, and we can work alternately sitting and standing; Or after sitting for an hour, get up and pour a glass of water to go to the toilet to relieve the numbness and drowsiness of sedentary.

In our daily life, we can walk more and drive less. When resting, we should not always stay on the sofa and brush our mobile phones, but go out for a walk more.

Keep it 2-3 times a week, such as playing badminton, swimming and jogging. , is a good way to exercise the whole body.

Let's look at the psychological balance. In the book, the author suggests that people who can't sleep at night or wake up easily should not pick up their watches or mobile phones from time to time to see the time. Just lie quietly and take a deep breath, don't worry about missing anything, just leave the wake-up call to the alarm clock.

Dr Xu is not opposed to taking health care products. He thinks that health care products have the function of placebo. However, he pointed out the matters needing attention when buying health care products, and reminded everyone that if you are sick, you still need formal treatment and you can't rely on health care products.

Even if we work hard to keep fit, aging is still inevitable. What we need to do is to prepare for aging in advance and shift our attention from the pursuit of fame and fortune to the management of our own health and inner cultivation.

04 conclusion

In the preface of this book, Dr. Xu said: Health is the most expensive luxury.

He used interesting language to explain the functions and operating rules of various organs of the body, and told everyone that maintaining their functional balance and normal operation is the best way for us to love ourselves.

In this book, Dr. Xu also provides many small methods, some of which can help repair physical loopholes, and some can improve the face value and temperament. The pro test is effective, and everyone can try it.
