Why do you say that? Because the data shows that the COVID-19 mortality rate of people with chronic diseases is more than six times that of people without basic diseases. In other words, patients with chronic diseases are more likely to be life-threatening after being infected with COVID-19 virus.
Chronic disease is a word that modern people cannot avoid. Although modern medicine has made such progress, it is undeniable that various diseases are constantly bothering us, and the sick people are getting younger and younger.
Then, in daily life, how should we prevent and treat chronic diseases and maintain physical and mental health?
Dr. Yang, Ph.D. in biochemistry from Rockefeller University in new york, director of the Biological Laboratory of the National Institutes of Health and consultant of the Cancer Institute, gave us the answer in his book Real Original Medicine.
For many years, Dr. Yang has been advocating the concept of "real original medicine". This book ranks first in the bestseller list of Taiwan Province Province, and its author is also praised as "a genius in the field of preventive medicine in the world".
After reading this book, I want to share with you three things that impressed me the most. In such an unprecedented fast-paced era, I hope people can promote their physical and mental health through self-healing.
?
I strongly recommend that you try to drink vegetable juice, beat vegetables into juice, remove indigestible crude dietary fiber, and leave only nutritious liquid, which will greatly reduce the burden on the stomach.
This reminds me that doctors often tell patients who are weak that they can only eat liquid food after operation, probably because liquid food is easier to digest and does not consume too much human energy.
As early as 1936, Dr. Norman Walker published a book on nutrition and vegetable juice health preservation. Not only that, he also invented a convenient juicer to make carrot juice into daily life.
Dr Norman Walker believes that thanks to the vegetable juice, he recovered from his serious illness and lived for a long time.
Dr. Yoshiyuki Takihara, the owner of a large pharmaceutical factory in Japan, was seriously ill, and doctors said there was nothing to do, but with the help of barley seedling juice, his health improved.
Moreover, the uncooked fresh vegetable juice retains the natural enzymes of the ingredients to the greatest extent, and enzymes are essential substances in the process of human digestion.
Most of the cooked food we eat every day has lost its natural enzymes after cooking, so the enzymes needed for digestion of these foods can only be synthesized by the human body itself.
Therefore, if you have the conditions to juice, you can try to keep healthy with vegetable juice.
But many friends who go to work often eat out and can't drink vegetable juice, but as long as we pay attention to this, we can still greatly reduce the burden on the stomach, that is, we must chew slowly!
The author also shared the story of American salesman Horace Fletcher. Before the age of 40, Horace's health was so poor that even the life insurance company refused to insure him.
When he was sad about his physical condition, a friend who knew how to keep in good health advised him to chew slowly when eating, so that the food could be fully chewed and saliva could penetrate into his mouth.
Horace did this. He asked himself to chew every meal 2500 times. Surprisingly, within half a year, he not only lost weight, but also all his health problems miraculously disappeared. Even the report issued by the medical center shows that his metabolism and nutrition data are normal.
Digestive system is the key to human physical and mental health, so in daily diet, we must pay attention to develop good eating habits, reduce the burden of digestive system, and make the body more relaxed.
Life is between breathing and inhaling, and correct breathing can promote health.
Many famous doctors, including Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, advised people to cultivate correct breathing methods.
There are two common ways of breathing, chest breathing and abdominal breathing. Chest breathing is short, and abdominal breathing is slow and deep. Feel your breath at the moment. What kind is it?
Russian experts believe that the most ideal way for the human body to breathe should be like a dolphin, and the longer the time, the better, so that the ratio of inspiration to expiration can reach 20%: 80%.
On the basis of nearly 40 years' clinical research, one of Professor Butek suggested that we extend the expiratory time, because it can reduce the number of body temperature and pulse beats, and it is easier to achieve emotional stability and stability, which is also in line with the traditional Taoist concept in China.
Russia has developed many breathing training techniques, which have been experienced by hundreds of thousands of people. It turns out that they have made incredible improvements in asthma, hypertension and various chronic diseases.
Therefore, if you practice deliberately, you can use self-controlled abdominal breathing instead of the original breathing mode, and use "qi" to change the metabolism of cells in the body, thus promoting health.
Besides learning to breathe correctly, it is also important to exercise regularly. The combination of the two can not only relieve stress and improve sleep, but also promote cardiopulmonary function and enhance our body's immunity.
In terms of sports, the author strongly recommends "spiral" sports. He believes that some traditional oriental sports, such as Tai Ji Chuan and yoga, can not only exercise all joints of the whole body, but also open up qi and acupoints, helping to improve many chronic diseases.
The thorough transformation of the heart is the most fundamental core of "original medicine"
A positive psychological attitude will have a positive impact on the body at all levels, especially at the cellular level.
Some positive emotions, such as laughter and pleasure, can enhance cell activity. Negative emotions such as sadness and depression can inhibit immune system and cell function.
Nowadays, chronic diseases are getting younger and younger, which may also be related to the great pressure on contemporary young people.
Stress is the natural reaction of body and mind to the surrounding environment. Stress occurs when things go against our wishes or when we feel struggling. Chronic stress accumulates over time, and when the body reaches the unbearable edge, the disease breaks out.
The author also puts forward some suggestions on reducing stress and rebuilding mental health. The following points are particularly convenient to apply to life.
Try to sit still. The book says, "Meditation can not only improve various physiological functions of the human body, but also improve depression, anxiety, anger and stress, making behavior more stable and mature."
Someone once taught prisoners to sit still, and found that this practice can reduce their anxiety index and let them start to develop better. The author often shares his meditation experience with the world's top athletes, and trying to sit still plays a very good role in improving their self-confidence and concentration.
Look at stress correctly. The first attitude to overcome stress is not to avoid the things that cause stress, but to change the cognition of things. As the saying goes, "the heart is big, the things are small." Looking at life from a broader perspective is an effective way to relieve stress.
Enjoy the joy of life. I don't know when it started. In the expectation of others and our own desires, we lose the ability to be happy and unconsciously live in anxiety and anxiety.
However, dear, please don't forget that you were born with the greatest wealth, that is, the happiness of life. Try to put gratitude and happiness back into your heart, and your body will feel that kind of happiness.
Physical condition is the result of many factors, including environment, diet, exercise and mood.
Therefore, the real physical recovery can not be completely achieved by taking medicine or any other single therapy, but by changing and cooperating with the whole physical and mental state.
Dickens, a famous British writer, once said, "Prevention is better than cure."
Don't wait until the disease happens to pay attention to it, but apply good living habits and ways to daily life to achieve the role of prevention.
Have you memorized all these methods?
