Scientifically Respond to Health Crisis with Healthy Lifestyle

First, the "ostrich policy" triggered a health crisis

We can often see such a situation around us: the career is successful, but the health is far away from him; He made money, but his illness made him unable to enjoy life. Health has become an urgent and urgent problem for modern people. In real life, many people adopt the "ostrich policy" for health, that is, out of sight, out of mind or out of mind. Give an example around you. Mr. Wang, a neighbor, just retired, said that he always felt "fooling his face" recently. According to his chief complaint, it is estimated that there may be something wrong with his blood pressure and heart, and he was introduced to the director of internal medicine of a third-class hospital for diagnosis and treatment. But Mr. Wang politely refused: "I never see a doctor. When I see a disease, I will find you." As a result, one morning, Mr. Wang suddenly died of a heart attack, which was really regrettable. The same tragedy happened to Mr. Wang’s 38-year-old daughter soon, which is a typical tragedy caused by the "ostrich policy". Therefore, no one should think that the threat of health is far away from us, even young people should seriously face every health problem. You must know that the golden key to health is in your own hands, one point of care, one point of peace!

Second, the change of health concept

The new life parameter of health is calledhealthy life, including disability-free life, disease-free and chronic life, and active life. People are pursuing a healthy life without disability, autonomy and happiness. To reach this level, we must pay attention to and intervene in the whole process of life, and finally realize healthy aging.

The definition of health given by the World Health Organization is that health is not only the absence of disease or infirmity, but the perfection of all aspects of physical, psychological and social adaptability. This is actually a "three-dimensional" health concept. It can be said that health is to achieve mutual adaptation and dynamic balance between human body and environment. Getting health must start from the details, but how many people can really do it? Too many people need to pay attention to their own health. In recent years, health education, health promotion and health management have gone deeper into the whole health field, communities and enterprises.

Third, chronic disease blowout, alarm bells ringing

According to Hanshu, there was a family whose tenants saw a tall and straight chimney in the kitchen, and a lot of dry firewood was piled up beside the kitchen. The tenant advised the owner to change the chimney into a curved one and move the firewood from the stove to the courtyard, so as to avoid a fire. But the master didn’t listen. A few days later, a fire broke out at home. All the villagers came to help put out the fire, and the fire was finally put out. In order to thank everyone, the host bought wine and killed cows to entertain his neighbors, rewarded them according to their merits and arranged seats, and those who were overwhelmed took seats, but forgot to invite tenants. Someone reminded the host that if you had listened to the tenant’s suggestion earlier, you could have avoided the fire and saved the cost of buying wine and killing cattle. Today, you treat people according to their merits. Why do you only treat the burned-out people who bravely put out the fire as guests, but don’t give any reward to those who propose a sudden start in salary?’ The landlord suddenly woke up and invited the tenants. This is the origin of the idiom "sudden change in salary", which shows the importance of nip in the bud. The same is true for treating diseases and preventing diseases.

In the past two or three decades, cardiovascular diseases and cancer have become the top killers threatening the health of Chinese residents. According to the Report on Nutrition and Chronic Diseases of China Residents (2015), the incidence of cardiovascular diseases in China has increased rapidly, while the incidence of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases has declined after intervention in developed countries. Experts predict that the incidence of coronary heart disease among middle-aged people in China will increase by 26% for men and 19% for women after 10 years. The incidence of stroke is more. It is worth noting that the awareness rate of cardiovascular diseases, treatment and control of Chinese people are seriously lacking, which is very worrying.

Fourth, promote a healthy lifestyle

In 1970s, Canadian scholars put forward that "behavior and lifestyle factors, environmental factors, biological factors and health service factors" are the four major factors affecting health. Among them, unhealthy lifestyle has the greatest impact on health. Fortunately, more and more people have realized the harm of bad lifestyle to health and paid more and more attention to promoting healthy lifestyle in daily life.

Victoria Declaration of 1992 International Heart Health Conferenceput forward"Four cornerstones of health":"Reasonable diet, moderate exercise, smoking cessation and alcohol restriction, mental health."

The Weimar Institute of the United States put forward "eight elements of a healthy life (NEWSTART new starting point)": 1. Nutrition; 2. Exercise; 3. Drinking water; 4. Sunlight; 5. Temperance; 6. Air; 7. Rest; 8. Trust.
