The World Health Organization (who) defines health as not only the absence of disease and weakness, but also the sound state of physical, mental and social adaptation. Sub health refers to a non healthy and non diseased intermediate state in which the body has no definite disease, but its vitality and adaptability have decreased to varying degrees. It is also known as the “third state” and the “pre disease state”. The results of the world census show that sub-health people account for 75% of the total. This set of data has shown that the number one killer threatening mankind in the 21st century is lifestyle disease, and its “prelude” is sub-health. From this point of view, sub-health belongs to the category of modern medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is a state of “not getting sick” and “wanting to get sick”. The emergence of the concept of sub-health as a new way of thinking marks a fundamental change in people’s strategies for diseases from treatment to prevention.
As early as two thousand years ago, the thought of “curing diseases before they become ill” was put forward in the book of internal medicine, which is aimed at sub-health people. Under the guidance of the idea of “curing diseases before they become ill”, we modern people interpret it as paying attention to the details of life and diet, which is a set of effective health care methods with national characteristics created by TCM itself, and has positive significance for the prevention and treatment of sub-health.
Eating with restraint: eating with restraint is the way of nourishing health advocated by the internal classic, that is, eating with restraint, not overeating, and not satiating at the same time. The so-called “seven or eight times full and good health” should follow the principle of “good breakfast, full lunch and less dinner” for three meals a day.
Scientific diet and energy supplement: ① protein supplement: eat food containing protein every morning for breakfast, which has the effect of repairing and restoring brain cells. For example, breakfast consists of two slices of low-fat cheese and whole wheat bread, or cheese, eggs, peanut butter, or low-fat milk and soybean milk. ② Three meals can not be missed: only by supplementing enough food can we maintain energy consumption throughout the day and maintain the ability of brain cells to think clearly. Eating less and more meals is better than eating two big meals a day. Each meal should absorb protein (to improve alertness and agility), carbohydrate (to improve concentration and concentration) and fat; ③ Vitamin B supplement: vitamin B6 and B12 are important elements for the body to maintain alertness and memory; ④ Control sugar absorption: when the blood sugar level of the human body rises sharply, its concentration and endurance will be reduced, which hinders thinking. Therefore, we should reduce the consumption of high sugar foods (especially snacks).
Enhance energy from life details: ① wear more red, orange, yellow, color blue, purple, green and purple clothes. Bright colors can stimulate spirit and enhance energy; ② Deep breathing helps the diaphragm to absorb fresh oxygen into the body and carry it to the muscles; ③ Yawning is a good way for the body to absorb a large amount of oxygen. It will increase the oxygen content in the blood and has a refreshing effect. Therefore, it should not be suppressed. We can often open our mouths and yawn; ④ Laughter can relax the body and spirit, and help regulate the brain and physical fitness. When you are tired, you may as well say some jokes, which will wake you up; ⑤ Because people’s energy flow depends on the way they stand on their bodies, standing can make people more energetic. ⑥ After working for a period of time, changing the environment and returning to the workplace, even if it is 5-10 minutes, will have a very good refreshing effect, which is helpful for people who have meetings, do homework, and face the computer in the office all day.
