On May 22nd, a 28-year-old male reporter from a newspaper in Zhengzhou (Hubei) died suddenly at home, which aroused strong concern from netizens. There have been many sudden deaths recently, and people are regretting and sympathizing at the same time, but also reflecting on what happened to our health. In this era when everyone is running all the way, how should we treat sudden death? The following are the views of psychologists.
Noun explanation: sudden death
The definition of sudden death in 1979 by the International Heart Association, the American Heart Association and the World Health Organization is "accidental death immediately or within 24 hours after the emergence of acute symptoms". There are many reasons for sudden death, but the most common one is cardiovascular disease. According to the data, about 80% of sudden death is directly related to the heart. Some sudden deaths have some inducing factors, such as mental stress, emotional excitement, increased physical activity or mild trauma, while others have no obvious inducing factors, even during sleep and rest.
In recent years, the sudden death of coronary heart disease in China has become younger, which has aroused widespread concern. Psychologists point out that now, people should be alert from the passing of these young lives, sum up and pay attention to the phenomena behind their tragedies, so as to prevent more similar tragedies from happening again. Experts especially remind young people to pay attention to the tragedies of their peers, to their own health, to be responsible for the health of the next generation, to manage themselves and not to pass on sick genes to the next generation.
The onset age keeps moving forward.
Experts believe that compared with the total population of 654.38+0.3 billion in China, there are not many patients in their twenties and thirties who suddenly die. It is precisely because there are few patients, many of whom are public figures. For example, in 2009, the female anchor of Zhejiang Satellite TV died suddenly in Shanghai, and in March this year, the 25-year-old female host in Shanghai died suddenly, so it attracted much attention.
Looking back 20 years, if a 50-year-old patient dies suddenly, people will be very shocked: "How can you get this disease when you are so young!" Before, someone in Germany wrote a book and was surprised at "Why young people have myocardial infarction", which refers to "young people" over 40 years old. But now, many people die suddenly around the age of 40, such as Hou, Zhou, and Zhou, who all died young. Now younger, the onset age has moved forward to a great extent!
Sudden death caused by psychological stress
Smoking, drinking and eating midnight snack are the habits of many friends. This seems to be free, open and enjoyable, but from a health point of view, it is not an ideal lifestyle and there are no rules. Long-term irregular lifestyle will induce "civilized diseases", such as reducing human immunity and being prone to various diseases.
To sum up many people's lives: according to physical needs, it should have been an 8-hour working system, but in fact it is less than 8 hours of rest, not necessarily at work, but because the body has not been rested. How can we not be out of balance?
Some data show that quitting smoking can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The most convincing example is Finland. In 1950s and 1960s, Finland had a large smoking population, and the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases ranked first in the world. However, after 20 or 30 years of tobacco control, the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in Finland has dropped significantly. According to analysis, more than half of this result should be attributed to quitting smoking. Dietary imbalance can not be ignored. Experts pointed out that it used to be a wealth disease, but now it is not entirely true, and the number of patients with "three highs" has increased greatly.
"Three more and one less" is easy to die suddenly.
According to experts, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases mostly come from the "three more and one less" crowd. The so-called "three more and one less" means more work, more entertainment, more alcohol and tobacco, and less exercise.
If you work too much, you will feel heavy burden and pressure. Have you noticed that people often lament that "eating is very tiring"! At the dinner table, we should take good care of the guests and enliven the atmosphere. Sitting for hours at a time is by no means leisure, and more entertainment will also increase stress. When mental stress is high and mental and physical state is not good under high pressure, blood pressure is easy to rise, blood vessels are easy to spasm, plaques rupture and block blood vessels, leading to myocardial infarction. Long-term sedentary, unable to drink water, high blood viscosity, metabolic disorder, abnormal blood lipid metabolism and emotional fluctuation will increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. It used to be thought that women were protected by estrogen, and the incidence of cardiovascular diseases was lower than that of men, but now women and men are getting closer and closer in work and lifestyle, some even smoke secondhand smoke and do not exercise, and premenopausal women also have coronary heart disease.
Experts remind everyone that although the society is developing at a high speed, with great pressure and fast pace, it does not mean that cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are the inevitable price to pay. Everyone can escape this "curse" by strengthening self-discipline, learning more health knowledge and advocating and practicing a healthy lifestyle.
