Optimism, adequate sleep, moderate exercise and balanced nutrition constitute the four cornerstones of ideal health.
1, optimistic attitude
A positive and optimistic attitude is the golden key to health. Looking on the bright side of everything can reduce the tension in daily life, relieve mental stress and be beneficial to health. For example, when the mood is calm and happy, people's appetite will be better, and their stomach's digestion and absorption ability and body resistance are relatively weak; On the other hand, if people are often in depression, sadness, anxiety and anger, their appetite will often weaken, which will easily upset their stomachs and hinder their health.
Numerous studies have proved that an optimistic attitude is the prerequisite and indispensable condition for achieving ideal health.
Step 2 get enough sleep
Adequate sleep is the guarantee of ideal health. Sleep and rest help to relax nerves and restore physical strength. Keeping 8 hours of sleep every day, coupled with proper and reasonable mental relaxation at ordinary times, is very important to keep healthy. Proper relaxation during the day can reduce the load on the brain and body and keep us efficient all day. At night, if we get enough sleep, we can let our bodies adjust themselves and save energy to meet the new challenges the next day.
From a medical point of view, adequate and regular sleep and relaxation habits help to regulate our body functions and promote the digestion and absorption of food and the excretion of waste. At the same time, because sleep ensures the supply of nutrition and blood, it also helps to keep a clear head; On the contrary, lack of rest will make people depressed and difficult to concentrate.
3. Moderate exercise
Exercise is an important factor to keep healthy. As early as 2400 years ago, Hippocrates, the father of medicine, said: "Sunshine, air, water and exercise are the sources of life and health." Life and health are inseparable from sunshine, air, moisture and exercise. Long-term adherence to moderate exercise can keep people young and refreshed.
A good exercise plan should include aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise.
aerobic exercise
Aerobic exercise refers to long-term exercise (endurance exercise), which can fully and effectively stimulate the heart (circulatory system) and lungs (respiratory system) and improve their functions. So that all tissues and organs of the whole body can get good oxygen and nutrition supply and maintain the best functional state. Including cycling, swimming, jogging, playing badminton, etc.
anaerobic exercise
The so-called anaerobic exercise refers to the high-speed strenuous exercise of muscles in the state of "hypoxia". Such as running, weightlifting, throwing, high jump, long jump, tug-of-war, muscle training and so on. These exercises can regulate and exercise muscles, and energy is mainly provided by muscle glycogen.
Regular exercise has many advantages: eliminating excess fat and calories, accelerating metabolism, improving sleep quality, improving the heart and blood circulation system, strengthening muscles, and helping to relieve mental stress and irritability.
4. Balanced nutrition
Nutrition is the source of life, and the human body obtains the survival and development of life through balanced intake and adequate nutrition. Balanced nutrition is the key factor for people to obtain ideal health.
Nutrition is the source of life, and nothing can grow without it. There are more than 40 kinds of nutrients needed by human body, which can be divided into five categories according to their chemical properties or physiological functions, namely, protein, lipids, hydrocarbons, minerals and vitamins. Nutrients needed by human body can also be divided into macronutrients, micronutrients and other food ingredients. Macronutrients refer to the larger nutrients needed by human body, including protein, lipids and carbohydrates. Micronutrients refer to nutrients that the human body needs less, including minerals and vitamins; Other food ingredients include dietary fiber, water, etc.
The nutrients needed by the human body are mainly obtained through food. Scientific diet, good eating habits and lifestyle have a very important influence on obtaining balanced nutrition.
