Everyone wants to have a healthy body. Those who don’t get seriously ill often have five things in common, and we have also found that the first rule is the hardest to follow. So how many can you do? Let’s take a look.
5 ways to avoid illness
1. They don’t get angry
Many diseases are related to anger, and 90 percent are due to mental stress. If you control your emotions well, you will get sick less often.
When you’re angry, the blood flow in the heart is doubled, and your pulse gets stronger and quicker. The increased blood flow to the heart can cause arrhythmia, myocardial ischemia, chest tightness, and palpitations. Anger is also a significant cause of angina and heart attacks.
Therefore, if you don’t get angry, you won’t get sick as much. This may be hard, but it’s still a good tip.
2. They don’t stay up late
How bad is staying up late? The biological clock regulates vital body functions such as behavior, hormone levels, sleep, body temperature, and metabolism.
In October 2017, the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine was awarded to three American scientists. Their prize-winning research reminds us that when our lifestyle always goes against our “biological clock,” we’re at an increased risk of developing major diseases.
We often see news about sudden deaths due to staying up late, which aren’t alarmist stories. Staying up late can also lead to disordered endocrine hormone levels and abnormal cell metabolism and may increase cancer risk.
3. They don’t eat carelessly
The saying “you are what you eat” is pretty spot-on.
Many people have unhealthy eating habits, replace dinner with late snacks, don’t eat on time, and have a high-fat and high-salt diet… a careless diet is the most significant factor in the sickness and death of Chinese people.
In a study published in Gastroenterology in August 2021, scientists from the Nutrition Department of the Harvard School of Public Health investigated the follow-up data of over 27,000 Chinese from 1991 to 2011. They analyzed the effects of diet and lifestyle risk factors on one’s digestive tract.
They found five primary risk factors for gastrointestinal cancer in China: smoking, overconsumption of red meat, underconsumption of fruits and vegetables, obesity, and alcohol consumption. Four of these five factors are related to eating habits.
4. They aren’t sad
It’s normal to feel sad, but it can negatively affect your health if you are very sad for a long time. Overly downcast people may suffer from Broken Heart Syndrome, and in severe cases, they may die from “heartbreak.”
Broken Heart Syndrome can also be called a “stress-related heart attack.” Generally, it refers to the disease caused by the heart’s inability to bear the stress of intense mental shock or strong emotions. The clinical manifestations vary in their severity.
Usually, after a significant event occurs when the patient feels intense emotions and experiences extreme sorrow or anger, he may experience pain in different body parts during this period. This may include headaches, dizziness, dry throat, indigestion, muscle pain, etc.
Symptoms include weakness, chest tightness, and suffocation, and severe cases may cause myocardial necrosis, heart failure, cardiogenic shock, ventricular fibrillation, and sudden death.
5. They don’t overextend themselves
Today’s society is fast-paced, and some work days without a break. But the human body is like a spring. Excessive overwork will lead to a rapid decline in the body’s immunity against disease.
There are only five steps from fatigue to illness: feeling mild fatigue, the body feeling heavy, having no energy, getting sick, and developing a severe illness.
