In recent years, a new term – 21st century syndrome has appeared in the field of sub-health. Entering the 21st century, diseases are also “advancing with the times”. If you often feel tired, irritable, can’t get up in the morning, love to eat too sweet and salty food, catch cold and cough all the time… You have the above symptoms, but can’t find any obvious cause, then you are likely to suffer from “21st century syndrome” (also known as “adrenal syndrome”). According to the daily mail of January 11, 1 / 3 of the world’s people suffer from this disease to varying degrees.
“Adrenal fatigue” was proposed by Dr. James Wilson, one of the founders of the Canadian College of natural medicine, in 1998, and gradually recognized by mainstream medical organizations. He pointed out that it is actually a group of non specific symptoms, such as: unexplained fatigue; It is difficult to get up early; Feeling weak and stressed; It’s hard to work; It is difficult to recover from illness; Life loses its fun; Decreased sexual desire, etc.
In contrast, women are more likely to suffer from this disease than men. Wilson analyzed that this is because women’s ability to withstand pressure is poor, and short-term high pressure will cause the adrenal glands to secrete a large amount of cortisol, which makes the adrenal glands overwork and more prone to fatigue. Professor Huang Jianshi, President of the Peking Union Medical College of public health, said that modern women, like men, bear a lot of work pressure and heavy housework. In addition, due to women’s physiological structure, there are more health risk factors, so they are more prone to physical and mental fatigue.
Wilson points out that the above symptoms are mainly caused by the excessive pressure of modern people’s lives, overwork of the adrenal glands, and insufficient secretion of cortisol, which can lead to the disorder of body hormones, fatigue and anxiety, and often require the help of stimulant drinks such as coffee and cola to refresh themselves. In his view, the modern lifestyle is the root cause of “adrenal fatigue syndrome”.
For example, eat less fruits and vegetables; Preference for low fiber diet; When I am tired, I like to eat sweet and salty food and drink caffeinated drinks to stimulate my nerves; I often stay up late; I often force myself to finish some work, but I can’t do it; Once encountering setbacks, it is difficult to extricate oneself; Entertainment and physical activities are getting less and less.
This syndrome may also be caused by a single cause. For example, the death of a relative, divorce or financial difficulties may also be caused by acute or chronic diseases such as influenza and bronchitis. In addition, insomnia is another common inducement.
Experts who are far away from lifestyle diseases analyze that with the deepening of human understanding of health and diseases, some new diseases will naturally be discovered. In fact, these can not be called “diseases”, but people are in a certain state of low, medium and high risk. These phenomena have a common feature. Due to the lifestyle changes brought about by modern civilization, there are more and more health risk factors.
All these warn modern people to pay more attention to their own health, control their mouths, open their legs, do not smoke and drink, and maintain a good attitude. He stressed that the current Chinese habit of working overtime, toasting and smoking also needs to be changed.
Nutritionists in London, UK suggest that the best way to prevent it is to eat a lot of whole grain food, deep-sea fish and fruits, and supplement magnesium, vitamin B5, vitamin C and vitamin B12. Finally, “only those who can rest can work”, seize every opportunity to relax and set aside time to eliminate troubles in the midst of tension and busyness, such as taking time to massage and watch TV, so as to meet the new job with full energy.
