How to deal with anxiety during the epidemic?
The COVID-19 epidemic has disrupted our original pace of life and work. Many things are full of uncertainty, and everyone finds it difficult.

But for each of us, this is also an opportunity for change. Let's go back to our hearts, get along with ourselves, rethink our life from the complicated world outside and solve the problems in life.

1, to ensure adequate drinking water.

During the epidemic, everyone should first pay attention to drinking more water. Adequate drinking water can not only accelerate the blood circulation of the body, but also help the discharge of harmful bacteria and enhance the health of the body. An adult needs to drink1500-2000ml of water every day.

2. Get enough protein.

Protein is the main component of human cells, and protein is the main substance to maintain and provide the normal operation of human systems. Therefore, we must take enough protein every day to maintain human health and normal metabolism. For example, eggs, milk, livestock, fish, shrimp and beans are rich in high-quality protein, so you should eat more.

3. Don't excessively search and browse epidemic information.

Get rid of all kinds of negative information and only pay attention to the news released by authoritative media and medical institutions.

Subjectively, we want to browse more news to make ourselves feel safe and in control, but this is actually counterproductive.

In the era of brain overload, too much information will stimulate our brain, secrete too much dopamine, and drown us in more massive information. However, due to the gradient effect of dopamine, boredom and loss will make it difficult for us to return to a quiet daily life. The more search information appears, the lower the mood.

Continuous high concentration of dopamine will also make the brain more excited and difficult to fall asleep, which will affect sleep and mental state the next day.

Step 4 Exercise properly

Keep moderate exercise at home and don't sit for a long time or lie down. It is suggested to practice Baduanjin and Tai Ji Chuan. In recent days, the weather has been hot and cold. You should exercise your muscles and beat the bladder meridian to help Yang Qi rise, benefit qi and drive away the epidemic. It is good for your health to do personal physical exercise for at least half an hour every day and do more activities when you are full, as long as you don't choose to "get together" in crowded places. If it is inconvenient to go out, it is better to do some activities at home. It is said that housework is also physical activity, which can exercise and be filial. Why not?

According to the research, in the process of boxing practice, the motor center of cerebral cortex is excited, while other areas are relatively inhibited. This relative silence makes people forget all their troubles and concentrate on boxing, so it can not only make people feel refreshed and energetic after practicing boxing.

Moreover, long-term exercise can make people more open-minded and healthier, which can effectively help alleviate the anxiety and panic of patients with chronic kidney disease during the epidemic.

5, self-dialogue, self-encouragement

As human beings, we all have the special ability to talk to ourselves. Whether you talk to yourself aloud or silently, you can use this ability to train yourself to overcome difficult challenges. So you can tell yourself, "We can handle it anyway", "This will be a very important experience" and "I can't let anxiety and worry get the upper hand".
