As the pace of life continues to accelerate and the standard of living continues to improve, people are paying more and more attention to their health status. At the same time when people extend the concept of health from not being sick to a good state of physical, mental and social adaptation, another special state of health, namely the “third state” – sub-health state has received people’s attention. It has also received the attention of Chinese medicine practitioners. Chinese medicine has its unique advantages in the prevention and treatment of subhealth. The following is a brief introduction to the understanding of the state of sub-health and specific measures to prevent and treat it. What is sub-health state Sub-health state is a new concept put forward by the international medical community in recent years. Generally refers to the human body, although there is no clear disease, but shows a reduced vitality, adaptability to varying degrees of decline in a physiological state, is caused by the physiological function of the body’s various systems and the metabolic process of the low, is a multi-faceted biological phenomenon, is between the health and the disease of a physiological function of a low state of the body, also known as the health of the “third state. “In 1984, WHO defined health as: “Health is not merely the absence of disease and infirmity, but a state of complete physical, mental and social adjustment.” Sub-healthy state is the earliest stage of unhealthy, which together with the sub-clinical state (the early stage of disease) constitutes the transitional state between health and disease, presenting more stray characteristics, and thus has a strong hidden nature, often unnoticed by people, or unable to be confirmed by relevant instruments and experimental tests. However, if the state of sub-health is not timely attention, and get adjusted, it will inevitably be transformed into some kind of disease, and can accelerate the aging process. Relevant data show that nearly half of the world’s population is in a state of sub-health. In the past, people believe that the state of sub-health in the urban population is prominent, commonly known as civilization disease. For example, chronic fatigue syndrome, in the individual psychological aspects will often appear in the spirit of depression, mood, slow reaction irritability anxiety, etc., in the physiological aspects of fatigue, fatigue, shortness of breath, insomnia, anorexia, constipation, lumbar and leg pain, palpitations and so on. Recently, the affluent citizens and the emergence of “three high and one low” (high blood fat, high blood sugar, high blood viscosity, low immunity) and so on. In fact, in the rural areas of the state of sub-health is also prevalent, such as chronic strain injury, muscle and joint pain, malnutrition, chronic infections and so on. The causes and main manifestations of sub-health state 1, the causes of sub-health state (1) environmental pollution Chinese medicine believes that people and the natural world is compatible with the “unity of man and nature”. That people and the environment is a unified whole, the two interact with each other, people irrational transformation of the environment, resulting in atmospheric pollution ozone layer destruction, water pollution, land sand, dust, noise, microwave, radio, pesticide pollution, the application of a variety of growth hormones and other factors, more than the normal range of the human body can withstand, will become the environmental factors of pathogenicity. (2) Psychological factors Chinese medicine believes that “calmness and emptiness, the spirit of internal security, the true gas from the disease from?” That is to say, only to maintain a calm mind, in order to maintain health. Nowadays, the social competition is getting more and more intense, the pace of life is fast, the work pressure is big, the medical cost is high, the high official position is retired, the family is cold and so on, which leads to the psychological imbalance, negative emotions, long-term depression, low, etc. Experimental research shows that: long-term negative emotions, such as low, sad, etc., can obviously weaken the immune surveillance function of the organism and the repair function of the DNA genes, which will promote the transformation of single oncogene, and induce the occurrence of tumors. Long-term high tension and psychological pressure can also promote the increase of sympathetic nerve tension and prolonged vascular spasm, prompting the occurrence and development of coronary heart disease, hypertension and stroke. (3) Lifestyle Chinese medicine believes that “dietary discipline, living and living in a regular manner, do not make labor, so can form and God all, and end its days.” Nowadays, people eat and sleep irregularly, often smoking and drinking is not enough, too much to eat a high-fat high-calorie diet, excessive night life, against the biological clock. Living conditions are superior, and lack of physical labor, etc., to the occurrence of many diseases laid the cause. According to our country has announced the top three deaths of disease (cardiovascular disease cerebrovascular disease malignant tumors) analysis shows that the occurrence of these three major diseases and poor lifestyle and behavioral habits are closely related. (4) Abuse of drugs Abuse of antibiotics, resulting in increased drug resistance, drug allergies, dysbiosis, etc.; and abuse of cosmetics leading to skin damage, etc.. 2, the main clinical manifestations of the state of sub-health (1) physical symptoms headache, dizziness, dizziness, head heavy, tinnitus, forgetfulness, chest tightness, shortness of breath, dry eyes, tiredness, easy fatigue, grain not fragrant, waist and leg weakness, loss of libido, facial pigmentation, pale gray and lusterless face, hair loss and so on.

Chinese medicine health care of sub-health state Chinese medicine about “positive energy within, the evil can not be dry; where the evil is, its gas must be weak”, “not cure the disease, cure the disease” and other theories, is the theoretical basis of Chinese medicine health care. Chinese medicine health care methods can be summarized into the following aspects. 1, sports health care Traditional Chinese medicine sports health care has a guide, martial arts and qigong, etc., Spring and Autumn period, Laozi and Zhuangzi created a “guide” to move the “art of health”, Hua Tuo in the Eastern Han Dynasty, respected the “movement is life! Hua Tuo of the Eastern Han Dynasty promoted the concept of “movement is longevity” and created the “Five Animal Play”. The core of “movement is life” is that sports can move a skin, sinews and joints, to achieve the role of dredging the meridians and collaterals, invigorate yang qi, unimpeded flow of qi and blood, enhance physical fitness, prolong life.

Form and God are interacting physiologically and pathologically. The injury of God’s feelings is the precursor to the occurrence of physical lesions. Therefore, Chinese medicine attaches great importance to psychological health care. Believe that “all diseases are born in the gas”, “anger is gas, joy is gas slow, sadness is gas, fear is gas down, shock is gas chaos, thinking is gas knot”, advocating the “quiet for the service”. Maintain an optimistic mood, honor and disgrace, so that emotional fluctuations are not too intense, to maintain smooth blood circulation, visceral functions are not affected. If there is a psychological imbalance, you can also use the “five Zhi Xiangsheng” doctrine of the emotional phase of the winning method, such as “anger over thought”, some people think too much and can not be relieved, the doctor can use the behavior or other methods of provoking anger, so that his emotional changes, from excessive thinking The doctor can use behavior or other methods to provoke anger so that the person’s emotions will change and he will be relieved from excessive thinking. In short, the key to mental health care should be self-cultivation exercises, improve self-regulation, cultivate their own hobbies and interests, to lighten and relax their emotions, face the reality, more fun or change the environment, correctly deal with the neighborhood, family relations, family harmony has a great impact on emotions. The purpose is to achieve psychological balance. 3, life regulation Health regulation project is a regular life. Where high life old people a common feature is the regularity of life. Make their own biological clock and the natural cycle of the change of the law of birth and death in harmony, Chinese medicine in thousands of years ago, told us to live and live regularly. Such as “to wine as a pulp, to delusion for the regular, drunk to room, to want to exhaust its essence, to dissipate its true, do not know to hold full, from time to time, the Royal God, business fast heart, against the birth of music, living and living without a festival, so half a hundred and decline”. Tell us that the length of human life determines whether he protects himself, whether he follows the laws of nature, whether he is able to restrain a bad way of life.

On the other hand, you can also do some therapeutic dietary supplements according to the different types of sub-healthy people, which can be eaten, but also can cure the disease. In terms of dietary health care, it is very important to pay attention to keep the bowels smooth. “In and out of the abolition of God’s machine,” can not just pay attention to the body into, but also pay attention to the discharge, especially the elderly, must pay attention to develop the habit of regular bowel movements. 5, acupuncture and massage Chinese medicine “meridian theory” is the theoretical basis of acupuncture and massage.
