Facing the arrival of all kinds of chronic diseases, it is like going to fight a battle before treating diseases. Before the war, we must analyze the situation of the enemy and ourselves, so that we can win every battle.
① Analyze whether there is any specific therapy for the disease.
What are special effects? It means that as long as you take a few pills, you will get well and the chance of recurrence is very small. For example, malaria is an infectious disease caused by plasmodium, which is spread by mosquito bites. Before chloroquine was invented, it was difficult to cure, only the symptoms could be controlled, and it would recur. Chloroquine can directly kill plasmodium, so the disease is easy to treat and not easy to recur. This is because of special drugs. There are also some infections caused by bacteria, which are also a kind of diseases with high cure rate in modern medicine. Because antibiotics can kill bacteria, the disease will naturally get better.
Most diseases are chronic diseases, and there is no specific medicine in modern medicine. Therefore, no matter what kind of disease is diagnosed by the doctor, you must first understand the treatment of this disease. Now is the era of advanced information. Through hospitals, books and the internet, we can learn the most advanced treatment methods for this disease. If there is a specific medicine, your disease will be easily cured and will not become a chronic disease. If there is no specific medicine, then learn more.
② Treatment methods currently adopted by most patients with chronic diseases.
For example, if you are accidentally diagnosed with hypertension, the doctor advises you to take medicine immediately, saying that you will take it for a lifetime, just like finding the enemy and you must attack immediately. This is an instinctive reaction. However, there is no specific medicine for hypertension. Taking medicine is like driving the enemy away without destroying it. After a while, it will come back. If you drive it again, it will run again. This is a common phenomenon in the treatment of chronic diseases.
③ Can you treat the disease from another angle?
Most of the chronic diseases come to you quietly. Or the enemy of chronic diseases has been lurking around you, just like everyone has bacteria and adenovirus in his throat and tonsil fossa. Only when the body's resistance drops, these bacteria and viruses begin to multiply in large numbers, causing you to suffer from acute tonsillitis and acute pharyngitis. If not treated in time, it will develop into bronchitis and pneumonia, and in severe cases, it will kill people. In other words, the enemy will take advantage of the loopholes in your border defense. Therefore, on the one hand, we must rely on our own resistance or various medical means to drive away the enemy, that is, we must control the disease first, and then we need to check the loopholes in our bodies in time, whether it is because we are too tired recently, because we don't pay attention to rest, because we are in a bad mood, because we are under too much pressure, because we have a cold, because we don't pay attention to our diet and so on. Only by repairing the body's loopholes in time can we effectively prevent the enemy from invading again, or prepare enough ammunition, so we will not be afraid of the enemy's attacks.
In the past, the treatment of chronic diseases focused on how to deal with the enemy and how to drive him away. Unexpectedly, the fence was built to enhance the body's disease resistance. Using external medical means to treat diseases not only fails to strengthen its own defense ability, but also makes it dependent and lazy.
④ Monitoring chronic diseases.
Take hypertension as an example. The enemy with high blood pressure will appear when you are tired, angry, excited and have a bad sleep, so just like fighting a war, you should find out the enemy's strength and activity law and observe his every move. When you find yourself with high blood pressure, you should equip yourself with a sphygmomanometer, measure your blood pressure regularly, pay attention to the fluctuation of blood pressure during sleep, diet and emotional changes, and find out the rules. When the blood pressure fluctuates obviously and it is difficult to control, take antihypertensive drugs to control it in time. When it is only in a relatively balanced state of confrontation with you, you don't need to take drugs. You can make yourself strong and feel good through active physical exercise, reasonable diet, good mood and adequate sleep. At the same time, you should not relax the monitoring of blood pressure.
The same is true for diabetes, and monitoring blood sugar is the key to control the deterioration of diabetes. Chen Lifu, a well-known figure of Taiwan Province Kuomintang, suffered from diabetes at the age of 58. He also had two surgical operations because of the strength of his gallbladder and bladder, and suffered heavy political losses in the last 50 years. But he actually lived to the age of 103, which is inseparable from his insistence on body massage, diet and active exercise for decades.
People with diabetes generally dare not eat fruit, for fear that the sugar in the fruit will raise blood sugar. Chen Lifu measured blood sugar or urine sugar before eating fruit. If his blood sugar is high, he only eats cucumbers and tomatoes with low sugar content. If the measured blood sugar is normal, you can eat watermelon, cantaloupe, strawberry, apple, pear, orange, cherry and grape with high sugar content. Therefore, it doesn't mean that you can't enjoy food if you have diabetes. While enjoying delicious food, you should measure your blood sugar in time. When your blood sugar is stable, you should improve your diet. When your blood sugar is unstable or high, diet control is very important and can't be careless.
There are many detection methods in modern western medicine, such as simple blood test, urine test, B-ultrasound, electrocardiogram and so on. It can reflect the condition of various organs of your body in time, and the price is not too expensive. Therefore, no matter what kind of chronic diseases you suffer from, regular physical examination is essential. Only by grasping the law and degree of illness changes in time and constantly adjusting your physical condition and medication can you always maintain a relatively stable state with your illness and live a long life with your illness.
⑤ Comprehensive treatment should be taken to improve the body's disease resistance.
Whether a person's body is healthy or not, the strength of resistance is the result of many factors, such as congenital inheritance, diet, hobbies, study, exercise, mental mood, social environment, natural environment and so on.
Why are there so few specific drugs in the world that one drug at a time can hit so many targets at the same time? For thousands of years, people have been looking for panacea and fitness coup, but there is still no trick, prescription or pill that can make you never get sick and live forever. Therefore, there has never been, and will never be, in the world. If you want to have a healthy body, you must follow the laws of science and nature, carry out comprehensive "comprehensive treatment" on your body, constantly improve your body's disease resistance, and realize your dream of being healthy for a hundred years.
Reasonable nutrition is the foundation, "food is the most important thing for the people", and a reasonable, balanced and appropriate diet is the guarantee of health. Eat breakfast well every day, eat enough Chinese food and eat less dinner; Eat more and eat less; Eat more at home and eat less outside; Eat more warm food and less cold food; Eat more seasonal dishes and less anti-seasonal dishes; Pay attention to food hygiene and safety; Drink a small amount of alcohol and firmly control the "disease from the mouth";
Adequate sleep Adequate sleep is a "natural tonic", and the quality of sleep is directly related to the strength of the body's immunity. The length of sleep varies from person to person, as long as you feel refreshed after waking up;
Exercise for not less than 30 minutes every day. Proper exercise can make the immune cells of the body active, enhance the body's ability to resist pathogens, reduce the chance of infection, and through exercise, it can accelerate the blood return, promote the metabolism of various organs, and be conducive to the discharge of waste in the body. But the amount of exercise should not be large, otherwise the body will be too tired and the resistance will drop, so the amount of exercise should be moderate. Only insisting on long-term moderate exercise is the key to exercise and fitness.
Smile for yourself every day, "smile, ten years old; Worried that one thing will lead to hoary head. " Optimism can fully regulate the neuroendocrine and cardiovascular system of the body. Modesty also helps to overcome diseases and improve the cure rate of diseases. On the contrary, people who are pessimistic and not good at dealing with life setbacks are easily overwhelmed by sudden changes, such as neurasthenia, peptic ulcer, cerebrovascular accident, cancer and other diseases will come to you;
Regular daily life can last for a hundred years. Modern fast-paced life and colorful nightlife have destroyed people's life rules, disturbed the "biological clock" in the human body, and caused some abnormal pathologies in the body, such as insomnia, irritability, lethargy and anxiety. Over time, the body's disease resistance declined, and all diseases occurred. Therefore, a regular life, getting up and lying down is really the key to health;
I can't hold my breath. Healthy and moderate sexual life can regulate the body's hormone secretion, which is beneficial to health. Indulgence is very harmful to the body, and overwork will hurt the kidney. Therefore, it is not too much to have no discomfort such as fatigue on the second day after sex. If there are symptoms such as dizziness, listlessness, shortness of breath, backache and leg weakness, emaciation and spontaneous sweating, memory loss, etc., it means that sexual life has been excessive and must be abstinence, abstinence or timely treatment;
Massage, massage to relax the body, accelerate blood circulation, improve and enhance the immune function of the human body. As long as you massage your head, ears, abdomen, back and feet every day, no matter how long it takes, it will have an effect;
Washing feet before going to bed is better than taking tonic. "Washing feet in spring will strengthen the yang; Washing feet in summer, the heat can be gone; Wash feet in autumn, moisten lungs and intestines; Wash your feet in winter, and Dantian is warm. " Washing feet before going to bed every night, soaking feet can nourish the heart and improve eyesight, promote blood circulation, relieve fatigue and improve sleep, but simply washing feet can only play the role of washing feet. If you soak it carefully for a period of time, your body will feel slightly sweaty, thus achieving the effect of health care.
Make friends with friends. People with many friends are less likely to catch a cold and have better immune function than introverts. Good social relations help to resist stress and reduce the influence of stress hormones on immune cell function. But interacting with too many people can also become a kind of pressure, so three or five intimate friends are much more important than a bunch of casual acquaintances;
Colorful spare time life, traveling, fishing, playing chess, playing the piano, singing and dancing and other recreational activities can relax the mood and reduce the pressure. People who often participate in various recreational activities are much less likely to get sick and live longer than those who don't want to do activities at home, but some people are too addicted to certain activities, such as playing mahjong, poker and computer games for a long time, which is very harmful to their health.
6. Suffering from chronic diseases can also lead to a long life.
Healthy people who live to 100 years old are slowly aging at the same time. People who die of illness are an important organ of the body, such as heart, brain, liver, kidney and lung, which can't work normally. As long as one organ fails, no matter how well the other organs function, they will also face death. Few people really have serious diseases in all organs at the same time.
As some people say, our body is like a wooden barrel, which is made up of many boards and is indispensable. The length of our life, that is, the amount of water in a barrel, depends not on the longest board, but on the shortest board. Suffering from a chronic disease tells you your weakness. As long as we take good care of this organ, treat it from the aspects of diet, exercise and massage, and slowly lengthen the time that this organ serves your body, you will naturally live a long life.
For example, when suffering from various diseases of the liver, it is necessary to understand the preferences of the liver.
First, it is important to rest when you have liver disease, because the blood volume of the liver is 40% more when you are lying than when you are standing, and 80%-85% more than when you are active. Adequate blood supply is conducive to the recovery of diseased liver cells, so it is very important for patients with liver disease to rest and not be too tired.
Second, we should strengthen nutrition, make qi and blood sufficient, and eat more foods that nourish yin and replenish blood, such as eel, loach, turtle, sea cucumber, cuttlefish, red dates, peanuts, medlar, fungus, royal jelly, mushrooms, lotus root starch and celery. And avoid spicy food, such as pepper, ginger, garlic, fennel, pepper, etc.
Third, the liver is afraid of alcohol and all kinds of toxic substances. Drinking a lot is very harmful to the liver. Abstain from alcohol, take medicine as little as possible, and reduce the harm of harmful components in drugs to the liver.
Fourth, anger hurts the liver, and trying to keep a good mood is conducive to the recovery of liver disease.
Fifth, the liver governs the discharge and keeps the meridians unobstructed, which is conducive to the recovery of liver qi. Therefore, it is best to practice the gymnastics of turning the waist when exercising at ordinary times. The specific method is as follows: the feet are shoulder width apart, the upper body does not move, the legs do not move, only the waist moves, and the waist slowly rotates to the left, front, right and back for 36 times, and then vice versa, the waist slowly rotates to the right, front, left and back. Note: Only the waist must be rotated. If the whole body turns together, it won't matter. The speed should be slow rather than fast, and the number of laps can be gradually increased. You can also turn left for 5 minutes and turn right for 5 minutes without counting the clock, preferably half an hour in the morning and half an hour in the afternoon. When you are lying in bed, you can hold the comb in your right hand and scrape it down under your left armpit with the flat part behind the comb. You can scrape to the waist slowly through the clothes 100 times, then change your left hand and stretch your right armpit down to the waist 100 times. The above exercises and massage have the functions of soothing the liver, regulating qi, dredging collaterals and activating collaterals. People with various liver diseases can do this every day.
The five methods described above protect your liver from the perspectives of rest, diet, mood, exercise and massage. When your condition is unstable, take medicine in time, do blood tests regularly and check the indexes of liver function. As long as all aspects of the liver are carefully cared for for for a long time, the liver function will gradually improve or fully recover.
All chronic diseases are the same. You should understand the temper and related organs of this disease and adjust slowly with it. Eliminating diseases is like reeling silk. As long as you smoke every day, you will finish it one day.
