Introduction to health diary
This weekend, I worked overtime in the National University Science Park of Beijing Normal University. Referring to the suggestions of friends and professors from the Chinese University of Science and Technology, I reorganized the definition, function and writing of health diary.

A health diary is a theme diary. As the name implies, a health diary is a theme diary written for the purpose of preventing and treating diseases and achieving health and longevity.

Considering many factors affecting health, health diaries can also be classified in detail, such as regular physical health diaries and mental health diaries ... For example, they can be divided into preventive health diaries, medical consultation diaries and nursing rehabilitation diaries ... Of course, health diaries can also be classified according to their owners, such as those written by themselves, for relatives or others, and so on. Food is the most important thing for people, and diet has a great influence on health. You can keep a diet diary and a drinking diary ... Life lies in exercise, and exercise has obvious influence on a person's health. You can explore personalized exercise patterns by keeping a sports diary. Good sleep is an important indicator to keep healthy. You can keep a sleep diary.

The pursuit of beauty is the motive force of human evolution. Losing weight is not only a healthy need, but also a concrete action to pursue beauty. Keeping a diary to lose weight can effectively promote.

The basic function of diary is to write memos, and the basic function of health diary is to help the owner remember all kinds of factors that affect health and find ways to prevent and treat diseases, especially regular methods. Keeping a health diary can consolidate health awareness, improve a person's health level and improve health ability and quality. The health diary can also provide an important reference for doctors to diagnose and treat diseases, and can also help doctors understand the treatment effect and whether patients and nurses effectively carry out the doctor's orders during the treatment, thus providing a basis for adjusting the treatment plan. If the lifestyle is fully recorded in the health diary, it can also be used by experts or doctors to help find out the misunderstandings in the patient's lifestyle (this point was supplemented by Professor Si You and Professor Zhong Keda's comments on the parenting diary).

Of course, health diary, as a kind of diary, has the function of practicing writing in general diary, which is conducive to cultivating independent thinking and writing ability.

Personal health diary is also the most important support of medical research and promotes the development of human medicine.

It is best for individuals to write health diaries for themselves, but they can also be written by others, and family members can write them for the elderly and children they care about most. It can also be written by medical staff for patients, and it can also have both statistical and scientific research purposes. Keeping a diary is important, and a healthy diary is no exception. Some people say that you should keep a diary every day, but you don't have to be so persistent about a healthy diary. However, paying attention to health should be an important theme in daily life, so when there is any change in our health, we must remain vigilant and remember it in time. In fact, it is necessary to write two sentences about health in your diary every day, just like the weather, because one obvious advantage of doing so is to urge yourself to develop the habit of checking your health every day, such as abnormal feelings or clues or health awareness that may affect your health, so as to prevent the occurrence of real health problems and ignore the symptoms of diseases.

Complex weapons and equipment such as missiles are equipped with full-life resumes, which comprehensively record the performance and quality in the whole life cycle. In fact, as the soul of all things, it is very important for everyone to keep a complete health record for life. However, under the current medical system, medical institutions are far from establishing lifelong continuous health records for people. Most of the hospital medical records are only a few pages, and each hospital is fragmented, so the medical records cannot be used universally. A person may get sick many times in his life, and there are many medical records, but they are incoherent and incomplete. In this case, the awakened person should establish a complete and coherent health record for himself and his family. A health diary can undertake this task. Parents had better remind their children when they are ready to get pregnant. The baby was born a little late. When an individual is unable or unable to keep a health diary, it can be written by others, such as young, old or illiterate patients who can't keep a diary.

About the form of health diary. Similar to the traditional diary, you need to mark the date or even the time. In addition, it is suggested to record the weather, especially to add specific values of factors that may affect health, such as temperature and humidity. When the environmental indicators in the body deviate from the normal value or fluctuate, they should also be recorded truthfully, such as body temperature, blood pressure, pulse, breathing and other health data.

How to write a health diary? How to grasp the contents of health diary? I don't think it is necessary to have a strict format for writing a health diary. Everyone can write it in their own way. As long as it is written around the theme of health. As long as everything related to this topic can be recorded, for example, you can record the subtle changes in your body and any clues that affect your health, and you can record the process of seeking medical advice and the treatment and drugs you have experienced. You can also record your own experience, understanding and feelings about health and treatment. Health-related people and events can also be recorded in the health diary, such as the medical staff contacted by patients or people who have an impact on their medical care.

Many diseases, especially incurable diseases and chronic diseases, are mostly lifestyle diseases, all related to diet, specifically related to food structure and diet, and even often the root cause of diseases. We should think, explore and record the subtle relationship between physical changes and diet, try to eradicate unhealthy and unscientific diet through health diary, and find our own scientific diet and lifestyle. Of course, allergic foods and drugs should also be recorded carefully to prevent preventable tragedies.

In recent years, medical care has gradually become the focus of attention. There are many schools of health masters, and health works are also dazzling. Even if it is a health care method that is useful to others, or comes across recognized health care books, you can't simply follow the book. You can't discount or even tamper with the advice given by others, nor can you accept it without thinking. Scientific methods must be carefully adopted according to their own conditions. Reduce the risk to the minimum or controllable range. In this regard, Li En, a retired teacher from Luo Yang 2 1 Middle School, is a good example. He saw that Dr. Batman's "drinking water in this way can cure diseases" was not taken out of context like most of them, but seriously practiced according to his own situation and changed his unscientific way of drinking water. In order to ensure safety, Mr. Li specially wrote a "drinking diary". After less than a year's practice, he put his decades of stomach problems and various incurable diseases into practice.

When you have a serious illness or encounter other important health crises, you must always keep a health diary, not necessarily how many words you write every day. The key is to form the habit of paying attention to your health every day, carefully observing and thinking about your physical and mental health, and never letting go of any clues that may affect your health. When you get into the habit of thinking about health every day, you can record important things selectively according to the situation.

To fight against major diseases or chronic diseases and lifestyle diseases, we can concentrate on making breakthroughs in such diseases or health threats for a period of time, and keep a health diary at the same time. For example, you can write an anti-cancer diary, a diabetes diary, an insomnia diary and so on.

Professor Zhu Zhimin, chief physician of Fuwai Cardiovascular Hospital of China Academy of Medical Sciences, is quoted as saying that the contents of general health diary include the following aspects:

1. diet, that is, appetite, the number of main and non-staple foods eaten every day, food types, etc.

2. Mental state, emotional excitement or depression and their causes.

3. Exercise plan. Record the social activities and major sports that you must participate in every day.

4. Record what important things you do every day and what lessons you have learned, which can be used for introspection and convenient reference when encountering problems.

5. State in daily activities. Such as heartbeat, breathing and general condition after walking, swimming, playing Tai Ji Chuan or other activities.

6. Frequency and color of defecation.

7. Sleep and take a bath. Whether to take hypnotics when sleeping, and whether to feel dizzy and flustered when taking a bath.

8. Pay attention to weight changes. Especially for the progressive weight loss without obvious reasons in the short term, we should find out the reasons in time.

The health diary should also record the experiences and lessons of the old people seeking health themselves, as well as the knowledge gained by attending some health lectures. When you join a health club, you can share these experiences with other old people, and you can also keep the habit of keeping a health diary for a long time. A health diary should also be a health plan, in which you can list your own fitness plans and implement them one by one.

Self-monitoring of disease development

Director Xu said that seeing a doctor is like solving a case, and first-hand evidence is often obtained from the patient. Therefore, writing a health diary should also play the role of providing "evidence" to doctors.

Older people with diseases or risk factors should pay attention to observing the changes of diseases in their daily lives and record their uncomfortable and uncomfortable States. In addition, you should also pay attention to your appetite, food intake, sleep, sexual life and other changes. If there is an abnormal situation, it is necessary to find out the reason in time. It is best to go to the hospital for examination, so as to make early diagnosis and timely treatment.

Director Xu told reporters that taking patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases as an example, we should first record the treatment of the disease in a health diary, such as the results of various tests such as laboratory tests and fluoroscopy, as well as the names, doses, feelings or reactions of drugs used at ordinary times, and provide them to doctors when seeking medical treatment. Secondly, we should record the early signs of the disease, such as bad mood, high pressure, high blood pressure and other factors that induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, so as to nip in the bud. Third, record whether the risk factors are well controlled, that is, all possible causes of disease, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, etc. Fourth, there should be a record of regular medication in the health diary. In the course of treatment, many patients have found a good medication plan, which should be adhered to for a long time, not to "fish for three days and dry the net for two days", and not to change it easily to prevent missed medication and irregular medication.

In addition, weather changes and mood changes should also be recorded, which are important factors leading to the onset of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and cannot be ignored.

Health is the cornerstone of life, and body is the capital of survival and life. How do modern urbanites increase the vitality of overdrawn bodies? How many health care misunderstandings are there in life? With the change of climate in four seasons, how do we keep in good health? Pay attention to fitness and health care channels, health and your future. Only by exercising every day and keeping in good health regularly can we go to the hospital less and increase our savings for our health bank.

Professor Zhu Zhimin, chief physician of Fuwai Cardiovascular Hospital of China Academy of Medical Sciences, said that seeing a doctor is like solving a case. In fact, for patients, it is more like a scientific research to overcome diseases and keep healthy. The object of this research is the owner of the diary, not an expert or doctor like most people. Because experts and doctors study a universal law, it is impossible for each of us to apply a drawing or the so-called universal law to our health like a product. People who pursue health should consciously take responsibility for their own health and conduct scientific research for their own health. Keeping a health diary is an effective tool for this kind of scientific research. Recording the changes of the body and recording the measures and effects of treatment are the data collection and accumulation of this kind of scientific research. Of course, in the process of preventing and treating diseases, it is far from enough to rely on yourself. Sometimes it needs the treatment of doctors and the care of nurses, as well as the care of family members.

For intractable diseases, chronic diseases, psychological diseases, especially the most common lifestyle diseases, because these diseases are often the result of long-term accumulation of unscientific lifestyles, their treatment and recovery need to eradicate the root causes, that is, correct bad habits and wrong lifestyles, which often takes a process and is not obvious in a short time. In the process of treatment, it is inevitable that there will be fluctuations in the condition, good or bad, and different people will have different reactions and effects. For a long time, it is a big misunderstanding to give doctors complete health, because the more famous doctors and experts there are always endless queues waiting, and finally it is their turn, so it is difficult for doctors to have enough time to know the specific situation of each patient in detail. No outsider can be more fully aware of his physical illness than himself and his family. In fact, as long as you are not illiterate and can keep a diary, you can completely record the specific changes of your body, the process of illness and treatment, the effects of different diets and lifestyles on your body, and summarize the pathogenic factors. It is entirely possible to find out the root cause by yourself. For a large number of lifestyle diseases, as long as the root causes can be eliminated, the possibility of cure and recovery will be greatly increased, which is a truly reliable and effective method to eradicate diseases.

For example, people with chronic gastrointestinal diseases or diabetes keep a diet diary, recording the diet of each illness and the diet in remission in detail. It is possible to find foods and diets that are easy to cause diseases, and it is of great significance to avoid these foods or lifestyles that are easy to cause diseases in daily life.

For example, people who often catch a cold should pay attention to the specific situation of each cold and record it carefully. If there are too many times, they may also find out the pathogenic factors and the law of the disease, so as to formulate preventive measures and resolutely eliminate the pathogenic factors, which is likely to nip the cold in the bud and achieve the goal of staying away from the cold. People can also compare the effects of each treatment method, such as drug therapy, through diaries, and sum up their own better treatment methods and drugs.

For mental illness and mental illness, when you are depressed or in trouble, no one tells you, so you can tell the whole story in your diary without scruple. Diary is a way to vent without any worries, which helps to eliminate imbalance or excitement. 200 1 A weekly magazine in Taiwan Province photographed the famous singer Mavis Fan, known as the "Little Witch", having a party with her boyfriend Zhou Junwei and her friends Xiao S and Aya, accusing them of holding an open-air shake-head party, and many artists were taken to court. This incident greatly affected Mavis Fan's mood and made her suffer from depression. Once upon a time, her depression reached the point of madness. If her boyfriend hadn't hugged her from behind, she might have followed her brother's footsteps and committed suicide by jumping off a building. During the treatment, a doctor asked her to keep a diary and express her feelings in words, telling her that when writing, the emotional part belongs to emotion and the rational part belongs to reason. Later, she compiled her diary into a book named "Scribble". After four years of struggle, Xiao Xuan finally stood up again, re-released records, became the boss and manager, and found a new relationship. Coincidentally, Mr. Wang Shuo, a famous contemporary writer, said it was for psychotherapy when answering why reporters wrote. It is good to tell people that no one wants to listen to his experience, so he writes novels and sells money.

Morita training therapy is a famous psychotherapy method founded by Professor Morita Shoma of Japanese Cihui Medical University on 1920. Diary therapy is widely used in this therapy. Since the patient entered the training, he has to write a "Morita Psychological Training Diary" every day, and the coach has to carefully annotate it every day. By the end of the training, the diary was already a thick stack. Morita's diary is not only a true record of patients' psychological process, but also a vivid annotation and demonstration of Morita's theory. In this sense, every Morita diary can be regarded as a wonderful display of Morita's theory. From these diaries, you will feel that Morita's theory is not a cold theory, but a nourishing and starting of life.

Many people have been sickly since childhood, in fact, it is likely that they left some roots that plagued their lives when they were young. The author believes that children are unable to take care of their health when they are young, partly because of the carelessness of adults in raising children, and partly because adults have not cultivated a scientific and healthy lifestyle according to their physical characteristics. If parents and elders write health diaries for their children since childhood, study the relationship between children's lifestyle and health, be the best doctor for children, carefully observe and carefully write down any clues of children's health from an early age, take preventive and therapeutic measures in time, explore a scientific lifestyle suitable for children, effectively prevent children from developing into chronic diseases or falling into the root causes, leave no root causes at an early age, stay away from unhealthy lifestyles, and rarely get sick all their lives. Perhaps a person only needs a health diary that is not too thick in his life. For a long time, most people have not established personal health records or files, and the medical records left by doctors every time they see a doctor are not common in various hospitals. The key point is that the handwriting of most doctors is too scribbled and the records are too simple for patients to understand at all, and the maximum function of health records cannot be realized. )
