For a long time, men have always appeared as strong and tough guys in society. They are strong and heroic, but the heavy burden of family and career will gradually wear away men's physique. With the growth of age, men will gradually weaken: backache and knee pain, insomnia and dreaminess, physical exhaustion and listlessness. These warning signs are often considered as irrelevant by men who claim to be strong.
Many men believe that fatigue is only the result of excessive physical exertion, and everything will be fine after a rest. According to Chinese medicine, the real cause of male fatigue is the loss of yang. The loss of man's yang is due to other reasons besides congenital deficiency. This is because: male masculinity, strong visceral function and high consumption; Men, especially intellectuals, have a strong motivation to achieve. They are in a period of psychological excitement for a long time. Even if they sleep at night, their brains are still running and they are willing to give everything for their career. Harmful substances formed by air, water and food pollution accumulate after entering the human body, which is easy to damage the yang of the kidney; Due to excessive work pressure and family burden, the yang is lost, and the probability of men suffering from certain diseases is higher than that of women; Men have to run around for work, and their lives are irregular; I often participate in various social activities, often smoke, drink and drink too much strong tea. Long-term loss of yang in men means that the foundation is not solid, which will lead to physical weakness, poor blood circulation, weakened visceral function, decreased immunity, weakened adaptability to the outside world, and slow accumulation of various disease factors, which will inevitably lead to further physical decline.
As the saying goes, "Rome was not built in a day" and "karoshi" is not a sudden phenomenon. Through observation and vigilance, we can take timely measures to prevent a tragedy like Chen Hao from happening again. What problems should we think about in the face of the growing crisis of "karoshi"?
1. Karoshi is unpredictable.
No one expected in advance that a person who was still laughing at lunch might suddenly die a few hours later. Death comes without prior notice or many signs. It should be said that this is more terrible than any disease. Even if you have cancer, there is still a process to prepare your relatives and friends psychologically, and patients still have time to make arrangements for some important things. Karoshi But death is merciless, which makes people suffer from a bolt from the blue.
Strong physique, regular exercise and good nutrition can't stop karoshi.
Many experts and scholars warned people not to be tired in lectures and works, and warned people to exercise regularly, strengthen their physique and strengthen nutrition in order to withstand the torture of fatigue. The lesson of Chen Hao tells us that human life is extremely fragile. Men often overestimate themselves, and people also overestimate men's "strength". After all, the human body has a limit to fatigue, which exceeds the limit. No matter how strong the body is, it can't resist the threat of death.
The fundamental way to prevent "karoshi" is to reduce the burden from the source and not to work, study and live under the fatigue limit. Some people may think, "when things come, the task is there." Can't you work hard? " ? Can you still care about the fatigue limit? "Yes, responsibility, have to choose. However, the cause, task and burden are unlimited. It is impossible to stay awake for 365 days every day, but human life is limited, and human energy, ability and physical strength are limited. Striving for infinity with finiteness is like throwing an egg at a stone. Therefore, we still have to do what we can. It is not honorable to be exhausted, and it is not shameful to do what you can. After all, there is only one life, and it is even more irresponsible if you don't cherish yourself. People go to school at the age of seven and work at the age of twenty or thirty. They have truly served the country and contributed to society for more than forty years. If they die young at the age of 50, how many years have they dedicated? Think again, a middle-aged man, old and young, is supported by this pillar. If you work indefinitely and let your body cross prematurely, who will your wife and children depend on? If you can do what you can, 20 years of dedication 10 years, it is still beneficial to calculate the general ledger from the country to the people.
3. Mental fatigue is more harmful to people than physical fatigue.
In the process of thinking, remembering, creating and imagining, the human brain runs at a high speed and works intensively, and the consumption of oxygen and various nutrients is very considerable. Different from physical fatigue, mental fatigue is not easy to detect and control. Only you know whether you are tired or not. Strong-willed men tend to ignore the signals from brain fatigue and regard those signals as temporary and accidental discomfort. In fact, men are dying because of brain hypoxia, cerebral ischemia and brain malnutrition caused by overload. Or take the sudden death of Chen Hao as an example. Chen Hao has been unable to sleep at night for years. He has been very busy and at a loss. After coming back from Europe, I was tired of coping with a lot of copywriting, and I didn't finish two manuscripts until the last day. Chen Hao's brain fatigue has sown the curse. He should have adjusted the pace of life and paid attention to rest. If he can be less blind and confident about his health and cultivate more scientific health preservation concepts, he may be able to write more creative copywriting for customers and bring more practical benefits to the company.
From the painful experience, through the reflection on "karoshi death" like Mr. Chen Hao, we know the reason of "karoshi death". In fact, it is really close to men, especially for those "workaholics", that is, close at hand. We should get the "signal" of fatigue from the body in time, pay attention to it, adjust our lifestyle in time, and let "karoshi" stay away from ourselves.
