Health is like air. If you don't pay attention to it at ordinary times, you will regret and worry if you really lose it.
We live in the air every day. The air is invisible and intangible. No one will cherish the air, but once there is no air, people will die in five minutes at most. At this time, people will realize that air is so precious that they can't live without it for a minute. So is health. When you have health, 99% people don't care how important it is. But once you lose your health, you have to spend money to bear and regret it. At present, too many people around us only recognize wealth and things, but don't know heaven and earth, ignoring life and health. As a result, they see a doctor every day and regret it every day, but there is never regret medicine in the world. This is the tragedy of our times. What is the reason? Because at present, only 6.48% of the public in China have basic health literacy, and their awareness of self-care is generally low.
As early as 1953, the World Health Organization put forward the resounding slogan "Health is golden". But until today, people really feel that health is really more precious than gold. As the common people say, "Get rid of poverty and get rich for three to five years, and return to before liberation when you get sick", "If you are not afraid of earning less, you are afraid of leaving early", "Love your wife and children, love your family, and love your body is zero", and people begin to constantly reflect and realize.
1992, Dr. Hiroshi Nakajima, a former director-general of the World Health Organization and a Japanese, pointed out: "A healthy lifestyle can halve the incidence of chronic diseases, halve the mortality rate, extend the healthy life span by 10 years, and greatly improve the quality of life without spending much money." He repeatedly advised: "Lifestyle diseases can be prevented. Many people died not of disease, but of ignorance. So, don't die of ignorance, don't die of ignorance! " His words are really like morning bells and drums, inspiring and thought-provoking.
A research report published in the United States in 2008 showed that from 1980 to 2004, 80,000 middle-aged women aged 35 to 59 were followed up for 24 years. The results show that a healthy lifestyle can reduce the mortality rate of middle-aged women by 55%. Population epidemiology has confirmed that a healthy lifestyle can reduce the mortality rate by half.
When we say health, we mean that people are in a perfect state in physical, psychological, social, interpersonal, spiritual and moral aspects, not just that they are not sick or weak. Health preservation is a scientific concept, a comprehensive and balanced system engineering, which belongs to the Tao level, not a technical concept, and can not be solved by some secret recipes, tricks, detoxification soup, tonic pills, a few kilograms of mung beans, radishes and several eels ... Health consists of four elements: parental inheritance accounts for 65,438+05%, and society. A healthy lifestyle is the four cornerstones, among which a reasonable diet accounts for 13%, psychological balance accounts for 30%, and the rest, such as moderate exercise, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol, account for 17%. It can be seen that psychological balance is the most important of the four cornerstones, and it is unreasonable to emphasize a certain trick or formula unilaterally.
Let's take a look at the life experience survey of centenarians, and we can see what is the core of health. According to the survey, the lifestyle of centenarians is really varied, and everyone is the same. It can be said that 100 centenarians have 100 different lifestyles. Some are vegetarians since childhood and never eat meat for life; Some people love to eat meat since childhood, eating fat almost every day, and like to eat "three salty": bacon, salted fish and pickles. They all lived to 100 years old, still glowing and their blood pressure was normal. Some people never eat eggs, and some people eat four boiled eggs for breakfast every day; Some people don't drink or smoke. Some people not only smoke, but also drink three meals a day. Everything, everything. But centenarians have one thing that is highly unified, and that is a peaceful and good attitude. Centenarians are open-minded, kind-hearted, easy-going and contented. No one is narrow-minded, grumpy and haggle over every ounce, and no one is uncompromising and goes to extremes. "Huangdi Neijing" said: "Nothing is indifferent, and the true qi follows; Hide the spirit inside to stay away from the disease? " Western proverb says: "Half of health is mental health, and half of disease is mental illness". A happy heart is better than ten doses of good medicine. The true meaning of disease and health in the east and west is perfectly confirmed by the survey results of centenarians.
American cyclist Armstrong is a patient with advanced testicular cancer. The doctor said that his survival probability was less than 1%, but he expressed confidence in the treatment and would actively cooperate. Results After orchiectomy and radiotherapy and chemotherapy, he still insisted on exercising and finally won the Tour de France seven times. The Beijing Cancer Society once made a statistic and found that among more than 1000 anti-cancer stars, the long-term survival experience basically comes from two aspects: first, optimism, stable mentality, full of confidence in the future, and unafraid; The second is the care and support of family members.
An optimistic and positive attitude is more powerful than we think.
