How to regulate physical and mental health
What can I do to make myself physically and mentally healthy and get what I want? To this end, the following suggestions are put forward for your reference: 1, and set clear life goals. Stalin said: "Only great goals can produce great perseverance". The goal is a lighthouse, and the goal is a flag. If a person has no goal in life, he can only wander on the journey of life and never reach the other side of his ideal. Life will be mediocre, boring and boring, which may breed all kinds of bad habits that are harmful to health. There are many things to pursue in life, but due to subjective and objective factors such as living environment level, social and cultural scene level and personal actual conditions, it is often that "bear's paw and fish" cannot have both. This requires us to firmly grasp the principle of "fish" or "bear's paw" in real life, that is, to determine a clear goal. If you don't have a fixed goal in life, you need fish, bear's paw and fish and bear's paw for a while. But unfortunately, I had a hard time, but I didn't do anything decent. The fable "Pulsatilla" vividly describes such a life: it heard the oriole sing tactfully and beautifully, so it learned from the oriole, sang for a while, but stopped learning because it was uncomfortable to sing; It also saw that the sparrow's nest was beautiful and comfortable, so it learned from the sparrow to build a nest. Later, it said: it's boring to hold branches every day, with a rotten mouth and broken wings; It learns to fly from the eagle again, flying every day, monotonous and daunting; Later, he learned to hunt with owls, stay up during the day and go out at night. He couldn't see the beautiful scenery and listened to the movements of his prey. After studying for a few days, he got tired of ... Pulsatilla did everything anticlimactic, gave up halfway, turned white or accomplished nothing. This fable profoundly reveals that it is impossible to succeed without a fixed goal in life. At the same time, a person's time and energy are very limited. If you want to realize the value of life in a limited time, seek greater development and achieve some refreshing and pleasing achievements, it is even worse without a clear goal. In fact, people who can dominate the world, enjoy the happiness of life and live a healthy life are all people who "stick to the green hills and don't relax" and concentrate on doing one thing and reach the peak of success. With a clear goal, their life becomes full and poetic, thus effectively eliminating all kinds of negative emotions and bad interference from the outside world, and their daily life is regular and full of vitality. This is the most important spiritual strength to ensure life and health. 2. Be lenient with others in everything. The book Emotional Management of Spiritual Mentors points out that giving makes you healthier. In today's world, science and technology are advancing by leaps and bounds, knowledge economy has emerged, and competition has reached a white-hot stage. A clear goal in life, the pursuit of success, even if it is to get healthy, lend a helping hand, be tolerant of others, and work together to make people forever young, healthy and happy, are all essential factors. Mr ward is the director of the advertising and public relations department of the largest communication company in America. In his spare time, he volunteered for "parolees" in Kansas reformatory, raised money for Children's Home, and donated 65,438+04 gallons of blood to the state blood bank. All this made Mr. Ward feel: "I am a happy guy!" " His healthy and full life shows that "be lenient with others and do more good deeds" can beautify life and resist the pressure of life. We know that people with an open mind are happier. The Bible says: What you sow, you reap. Generous and selfless help usually gets some unexpected and precious returns: that is, the love and gratitude we cause when we help others. Love, like stress, has cumulative effects. Dr. sayles, an American doctor of medicine, said that if we can hoard good feelings, just like swallows hoard food for the winter, we can survive adversity safely and stably. These feelings remind us that with good prospects and confidence and courage when everything goes wrong, life will be much easier. There are many good moral maxims in our country, such as "love your neighbor as yourself, love my house and my dog"; "Old me and old man, young me and young man"; "Helping others" and so on. Caring for others is a commendable virtue. From caring for others, you feel that you are not alone, that you are needed, and that the more love you give, the more happiness you will get, and the healthier your body and mind will be. 3. Develop good living habits. Huangdi Neijing, a wonderful book in ancient China, said: "The ancient people, who knew it, learned Yin and Yang, learned mathematics, ate moderately, lived a regular life, and got something for nothing, so they could be in harmony with God and died at the age of 100." It is particularly emphasized here that people should eat moderately and live regularly, and people are required to develop good living habits. Good living habits will benefit people for life, and the value to health cannot be underestimated! However, in real life, some students do not agree with this. Their life, entertainment, rest and study are irregular. They often get carried away on a whim and go to extremes in everything. For example, some people like reading books, playing chess, playing cards and dancing all night, and they usually eat and sleep irregularly. This is seriously harmful to health. As early as 2000 years ago during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Confucius, our "teacher of saints", realized the harm of bad living habits to people's health. He said: "people have three deaths, not life, but have already taken it." My husband's sleeping place is uncomfortable, his diet is not good, he is overworked and exhausted. " It means that it is not normal for people to have three kinds of death, which is not arranged by heaven, but caused by bad living habits. Just can't go to bed on time and get up on time; Excessive diet, eating and drinking indiscriminately; Unrestricted play or overwork; In the long run, diseases will attack people and kill them. Modern scientific research has proved that the life activities of the human body operate moderately under the strict control of the biological clock. If you obey it and follow it, it will make your face radiant and energetic; If you don't obey it and violate its laws, it will make you look miserable, make your life dim and even die. Laozi advocates "Taoism is natural", and only by obeying the laws of nature can we keep healthy. To this end, we should develop a regular and quantitative regularity in diet, daily life, study, work and various living systems, and keep it up. Only in this way can a good conditioned reflex system be established in the cerebral cortex, thus ensuring the best effects of various physiological functions of the body. 4. There are reasonable nutrients. Teenagers are at an important stage of growth and have special requirements for various nutrients. At this stage, on the one hand, due to the large physical activity momentum and vigorous metabolism, learning, life, labor and physical exercise all need to consume more calories, so the basic demand for calories is higher; On the other hand, the growth and development of the body also need to provide additional "raw materials". In this important period of physical development, it is very important to ensure the reasonable supply of basic nutrients such as sugar, fat, protein, minerals, vitamins and cellulose. A reasonable diet should be eight full meals, with the main and non-staple foods accounting for half each, and the staple food should be matched with coarse and fine grains; The proportion of non-staple food is 1: 1: 3, that is, animal protein (chicken, duck, fish, meat, etc. ) 1, plant protein (soybean and various bean products) 1, vegetables and fruits 3. 5. The secret of keeping youthful vigor lies in exercise. Scientific research has proved that sports activities can make people clear-headed and quick-thinking. Because physical exercise can make the brain get a positive rest, improve blood supply to the brain and keep the brain working normally; Physical exercise can promote blood circulation and improve heart function, especially during exercise, the coronary blood flow increases by 10 times compared with that at rest. A biologist abroad found that the diameter of coronary artery of marathon runners is 1~2 times longer than that of ordinary people, which is the physiological basis for exercise to prevent coronary heart disease. Exercise can also improve the function of respiratory system. Due to the increase of oxygen demand during muscle activity, breathing is accelerated and deepened, which promotes the development and function improvement of the lung and its surrounding muscles and ligaments; Exercise can also make bones and muscles strong. Experiments show that the femur of ordinary people will break as long as it bears 300 kilograms of pressure; However, the femur of people who often participate in physical exercise can bear 350 kilograms of pressure without breaking; Exercise can also adjust people's psychology and make them full of vigor and vitality; Regular physical exercise can also improve the body's adaptability and resistance to diseases, prevent and treat diseases, delay aging and make people healthy and live longer. For us middle school students, swimming, gymnastics, long-distance running, martial arts, cycling and all kinds of ball games are excellent exercise programs. In sports, you can choose according to your hobbies and physical condition. Here, I want to remind you that you should pay attention to the following two points when exercising: the first is moderation, and the second is perseverance and perseverance. 6. Essential hobbies. Modern life is tense and busy. After busy and intense study, work and life, it is very beneficial to find a quiet and ideal place and engage in something that interests you as an amateur pastime to adjust your mood and eliminate fatigue. For example, practicing calligraphy, playing musical instruments, drawing, collecting stamps, playing Go, playing chess, doing some photography and making small productions. , are ideal projects to improve health, you can choose to cultivate according to your own interests. Once determined, we should stick to it, make it a real hobby and strive for new achievements as much as possible. 7. Create a humorous and cheerful personality. Humor is an additive in daily life, and humor is a lifebuoy in the waves of life. In fact, humor can help you to open the locked brows, relax the wrinkles on your forehead, relax the contracted myocardium and forget the troubles in life. Using humor to regulate physical and mental health has its scientific basis. Some doctors found in the study of "incurable diseases" that humor is closely related to physiological state. Laughter caused by humor will make muscles out of step, and the pain related to muscles may disappear after a burst of laughter; Laughter can stimulate the brain to secrete a catecholamine hormone, which can trigger a large amount of secretion of "endorphins" and play a natural analgesic role; Humorous laughter can stretch the muscles of the whole body, then relax the blood vessels, relieve the tense and congested internal organs, have rhythmic Zhang Chi and get active massage. Humor is a lubricant for expanding and improving interpersonal relationships. Humor and cheerful personality is very beneficial to a person's physical and mental health, but you should pay attention to it: humor, as a trigger and growth agent of health, must be creative and constructive. No offense or slander. Therefore, we must put an end to slander and ridicule, and we must not base our happiness on the pain or embarrassment of others. Regarding the use of humor, Dr. Olson reminded that there are three levels of humor. One is cynicism, but this is destructive and undesirable. The second is an unexpected pun, which has a positive nature. Third, universal humor is an appreciation of the specious truth of life and the absurd and abrupt phenomenon of life, and it is also positive and constructive. People with this kind of humor may be more flexible, elastic, square and open and close freely; More can despise difficulties, strut, face the reality, and calmly spend the setbacks and failures in life. For example, the life experience of crosstalk master Ma and Ma Ji illustrates this point. For your health and your interesting life, please pay attention to cultivating and shaping a healthy, fit and sound body and mind! Excerpted from Yang Yonglong's "Into Health"
