原文: 健康和亚健康的新标准

    健康的标准azo,

    自从亚健康的概念出现后,相当多的人都认为自己处于亚健康状态,甚至有些草木皆兵。亚健康的确有一些明确的标准,但也有一些模糊的地方,因为亚健康是处于健康与不健康之间。如果按亚健康的一些标准,当然有相当多的人在一生的一些时候是亚健康,正如所有人在一生的某些时候都会患病一样。azo,

    所以,要理解亚健康,首先就要理解世界卫生组织提出的健康的定义和标准。azo,

    世界卫生组织对健康的定义是:健康是身体上、精神上和社会适应上的完好状态,而不仅仅是没有疾病和虚弱。当然,这只是一个总括的概念和标准,还需要更具体的解释和量化的标准。所以,世界卫生组织又重新和陆续提出了衡量健康的一些具体标志,包括:azo,

    1、精力充沛,能从容不迫地应付日常生活和工作;azo,

    2、处事乐观,态度积极,乐于承担任务不挑剔:azo,

    3、善于休息,睡眠良好;azo,

    4、应变能力强,能适应各种环境的变化;azo,

    5、对一般感冒和传染病有一定抵抗力;azo,

    6、体重适当,体态匀称,头、臂、臀比例协调:azo,

    7、眼睛明亮,反应敏锐,眼睑不发炎;azo,

    8、牙齿清洁,无缺损,无疼痛,牙龈颜色正常,无出血;azo,

    当然,这些标准也有抽象的地方,但已经比较明确地解释了一个正常人的健康和健康状态是什么。azo,

    亚健康的概念、标准和表现azo,

    有了上面的健康标准,亚健康就有了参照物。亚健康是介于健康与疾病之间的一种动态变化的中间状态,即健康一亚健康一疾病。亚健康既与上面的健康状态之间有重叠交叉状态,又与下面的疾病之间存在重叠交叉,因此,亚健康既可以向健康的好的方向发展,又可以向不健康的坏的方向发展。这种发展变化是双向的。azo,

    每个人在生活中都有许多说不明道不清的身体或精神上的不舒服,这种似病非病的状态就是亚健康。例如,31岁的李光明最近出现了注意力难以集中、精神不振、多梦、疲劳、情绪不稳定、用脑后疲劳、缺乏耐心等症状,妻子催他去医院看看,他说没事,没有生病,干嘛去医院?azo,

    不久后,才29岁的妻子也发现自己记忆力减退,并莫名其妙地对自己的健康担心、困倦、烦躁,活动后疲劳、健忘、虚弱,易激动、失眠。其实,这些表现都说明,他们夫妻二人有不同程度的亚健康。azo,

    而且亚健康还有其他一些常见表现,例如,易感冒、嗜睡、四肢乏力、不愉快感、头晕、目眩、抑郁、头痛、腰膝酸痛、脱发。同时还有,胃肠胀气、筋疲力尽感、消化不良、便秘、性功能减退、面部褐斑等。azo,

    但是,男性和女性的亚健康表现略有不同。男性的亚健康表现前15项分别为:记忆力减退、对自己的健康担心、注意力难集中、精神不振、疲劳、耐力下降、用脑后疲劳、多梦、困倦、情绪不稳定、健忘、虚弱、烦躁、活动后疲劳、易激动。azo,

    而女性亚健康的前15项表现分别为:记忆力减退、多梦、对自己的健康担心、疲劳、情绪不稳定、注意力难集中、烦躁、精神不振、活动后疲劳、困倦、健忘、用脑后疲劳、易激动、虚弱、耐力下降。azo,

    什么原因引起亚健康?azo,
