1. Transient signals in the body
1, sensitive to light and noise. Charlotte Watts, a British expert on coping with stress, pointed out that the human body has been under pressure for a long time and the nerves are highly nervous. When the brain is on alert for a long time, it will become very sensitive to the things around it. Once there is a change in light and sound, the brain's "alarm" will sound. I suggest you set aside half an hour every day to vent yourself completely and meditate. You can ask friends to go for a walk in the suburbs on weekends, away from the noise and let the pressure be released.
2, shortness of breath, body aches. Xiao Zhenyu, director of the R&D Department of the Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that long-term high-load work will consume a lot of body energy, leading to soreness in muscles and cervical vertebrae, and the body's demand for oxygen will increase, leading to shortness of breath. It is recommended to practice deep breathing every day, which can relieve stress and improve the oxygen content of the body. The most scientific way to breathe is "Breathe-stop (hold your breath 10 ~ 20 seconds)-breathe", take a deep breath as much as possible, and then spit it out forcefully. Three times a day, each time 10 minutes will have an effect.
I like talking to myself. Xiao Zhenyu said that long-term high-load operation will make people feel anxious, helpless and scared, which will lead people to pay special attention to other people's ideas and opinions, and they are deeply afraid that their words and deeds will bring unnecessary trouble. At this time, everyone will subconsciously pursue safety, and the performance of men and women is different. Men tend to be alone and digest stress by themselves, while women prefer to express their feelings, become nagging or rambling, and even often talk to themselves. Turning off your mobile phone and computer, staying away from the outside world occasionally and adjusting your requirements appropriately are all effective ways to make yourself calm and relieve stress.
4, love to eat sweets. Stress, the body consumes more energy, the thirst for energy will increase, so it will become fond of sweets such as candy and cakes, and the euphoria brought by eating sweets can also eliminate anxiety to a certain extent. Many people will also become overeating, stimulate the digestive system, leading to constipation, diarrhea and other problems. When you want to eat sweets, you might as well try to distract yourself first, or eat some healthy snacks such as fruits and nuts to satisfy your appetite.
5. Ordinary work seems difficult. Under pressure, people's ability to control and analyze information will be affected. At this point, the work that usually looks ordinary will make people feel overwhelmed. Xiao Zhenyu said that stress does reduce people's attention and reaction speed, thus affecting work efficiency. In the face of "difficult" work, we can gradually reduce the requirements appropriately. If the work efficiency is low and it is easy to make small mistakes, you can adjust the work order and deal with the daily work first. If this is the case for a long time, it is best to consider taking a vacation and adjust it in time.
6, less sleep, easy to get sleepy during the day. Stress will seriously affect the quality of sleep, leading to insomnia or shallow sleep, and it is easy to get sleepy during the day. At the same time, after entering the age of 60, people's sleep time will also be reduced, and the quality of sleep will gradually decline. Professor Friedman of Stanford University in the United States pointed out that after entering the old age, various functions of the human body enter a period of decline, and the weakening of functions also makes people have higher requirements for the sleeping environment, making sleep vulnerable to external influences and thus weakening. It is suggested that different people should be different in the face of sleep problems: young people can adjust themselves to sleep problems caused by stress, such as taking a deep breath before going to bed, meditating, turning off electronic devices such as mobile phones and computers, and creating a good sleep atmosphere. At the same time, you can also increase your exercise, pay attention to your diet, and eat less or not before going to bed; The elderly should treat insomnia scientifically, and don't worry because they can't sleep. If they can't sleep well at night, they can moderately supplement their sleep at noon. Proper exercise every day also helps to improve the quality of sleep.
7. I always want to go to the toilet It is normal for people to want to go to the toilet when they are nervous. However, there is also a situation that needs attention: getting up frequently at night and not being able to hold your urine may not only be caused by stress, but also may be a distress signal sent by the body when it is aging. Christopher Eden, a urologist at the Royal Surrey Hospital, said that since the age of 50, the number of people getting up at night has increased significantly. This is because the aging of the bladder accelerates from the age of 40, and it is difficult for some people to "control" their bladder at the age of 65. When women enter menopause, the decrease of estrogen level leads to the thinning and weakening of urethral tissue, and the decrease of bladder support function, which may also lead to the inability to hold back urine. To prevent bladder aging, we should develop the habit of not holding urine, especially teachers, drivers and other professional people should pay special attention. Don't drink water 2 hours before going to bed, and don't drink too much coffee, tea and other drinks 4 hours before going to bed.
8. Hands shake. Frequent handshake is called "primary tremor" in medicine, and 20% of the elderly over 65 will have this problem. Zhu Gaoshan, deputy director of the Scientific Health Care Committee of the Gerontology Society of China, said that most people's hand tremors are mild, so we don't need to pay too much attention to them, but if they affect our daily life, we can deal with them symptomatically. Hand shaking may sometimes be a signal of Parkinson's disease, hyperthyroidism, stroke and other diseases. It is best to see a doctor in time to determine the cause.
9. Teeth are getting longer. Dr john collin Lynn, Dean of university of central lancashire Dental College, said that some people's teeth will "grow longer" after 40 years old, which is actually an alarm from teeth. Generally speaking, people's teeth begin to change color around the age of 30, and the enamel becomes thinner; At the age of 40, the gums began to shrink, the roots gradually exposed, and the length of teeth sometimes increased by about 6 mm compared with young people. In addition, when eating irritating food, teeth ache, teeth become brittle, cracks appear, gums are red and swollen, accompanied by bleeding and teeth are loose. Dr. Moveen Druan, an expert at the London Dental Beauty Center, suggested that thorough brushing and flossing can help prevent gingival atrophy and keep teeth healthy. In addition, oral hygiene should be carefully cleaned, and brushing your teeth should not be rushed. Oral health is not only related to the whole digestive system, if the oral condition is not good, the probability of inducing heart disease and hypertension will also increase.
10, voice change. Zhu Gaoshan explained that 70-year-old men's vocal cartilage began to become thinner, the stability of vocal cords became worse, the frequency of sound was higher, and the sound might become sharper. Postmenopausal women are prone to vocal cord swelling due to estrogen deficiency, resulting in a deep voice. It is suggested to avoid using your voice too much, eat less spicy food and drink more water to avoid damaging your vocal cords.
2, conditioning the body to eat these
1. Lycium barbarum: Lycium barbarum has the function of tonifying kidney and strengthening essence. Kidney has always been the most important thing for men, and kidney is the pillar for men to maintain normal life. In the past, people thought that viscera and seafood could tonify the kidney, but these two foods are high in cholesterol and can cause diseases such as high blood pressure if eaten frequently.
2. Cherry: Cherry can effectively resist arthritis. For men who often run outside, they can often eat cherries to prevent arthritis.
3. Apples: Apples are very healthy fruits. There is a saying that "an apple a day keeps the doctor away". Apples have the effects of protecting the heart and losing weight, and preventing men from suffering from coronary heart disease. For obese men, it can also play a role in losing weight.
4. Oranges: Oranges can protect gastrointestinal health and prevent cancer. The probability of gastric cancer in men is higher than that in women. Australian medical experts have found that eating two kinds of citrus fruits every day can reduce the risk of gastric cancer by 50%.
5. Spinach: Spinach can protect eyesight, and it is rich in iron, which has the effect of enriching blood and promoting blood circulation. Eating spinach about 3 times a week can supplement most of the nutrition of the human body.
6. Tomatoes: Tomatoes contain a lot of lycopene, which can scavenge free radicals and protect the prostate. The human body only needs to eat 100 to 200g tomatoes every day, which is enough to supplement the daily lycopene.
7. Oats: Oats have the function of protecting the cardiovascular system and contain soluble cellulose, which can clean the cholesterol in the body and dredge blood vessels. Oats reduce the probability of heart disease by as much as 30%, even exceeding this figure.
8. Garlic: Garlic has a strong bactericidal effect, besides which it can relieve fatigue and promote metabolism. Eating garlic can improve human immunity and prevent cancer, especially for men who often drink and socialize.
9. Water: The human body is mostly water. Without water, it will cause dizziness, tinnitus and so on. Drinking too little water is not conducive to detoxification. You must take time to replenish water at ordinary times.
