The art of being healthy

 

Human health is based on genetic factors, lifestyle and environmental conditions. However, to a certain extent, it also depends on a person's conscious attitude towards himself and the surrounding environment.

 

 

 

Human health is a state of complete socio-biological and psychological comfort, when the function of all organs and systems of the body are balanced with the natural and social environment, there are no diseases, painful conditions and physical defects.

 

The health criterion is determined by a set of indicators. However, according to the most general features, the health of an individual can be defined as the natural state of the body, characterized by the complete balance of any pronounced painful changes. It should be remembered that health depends on many factors that combine into one integral concept - a healthy lifestyle. Its purpose is to teach a person to be smart about his health, physical and mental culture, harden his body, skillfully organize work and rest.

 

The main components of a healthy lifestyle include:

 

                               I.            Lifestyle is of great importance for human health and consists of four categories:

 

? economic (standard of living);

 

? sociological (quality of life);

 

? socio-psychological (lifestyle);

 

? socio-economic (system of life).

 

                             II.            Level of culture. It should be remembered that a person is a subject and, at the same time, the main result of his activity. From this point of view, culture is a self-conscious attitude towards oneself. However, people very often neglect their health, lead a wrong lifestyle, do not follow the regime, overeat, smoke. Therefore, health requires knowledge that would be part of a person's daily habit.

 

                          III.            Health in the hierarchy of needs. Health does not always take first place in a person's life compared to things and other material goods. As a result, this leads to harm not only to your own health, but also to the health of future generations. Therefore, health should occupy the first place in the hierarchy of human needs.

 

                          IV.            Motivation. Unfortunately, most people only realize the value of their health when it is significantly lost. Only then there is a desire to cure the disease, to become healthy.

 

                            V.            Feedback - an unreasonable and long test of the resistance of your body with an unhealthy lifestyle (alcohol, nicotine). Only after a certain time does the feedback of a person start when he quits bad habits, but it is often too late.

 

                          VI.            Guidelines for a long healthy life. In everyday life, it is necessary to skillfully mobilize the body's reserves to overcome life's adversities, to reduce the risk of diseases, which contributes to longevity.

 

                       VII.            Teaching a healthy lifestyle. The source of skills in this matter is primarily the example of parents, sanitary education also helps. An important factor that determines a person's reaction to an extreme situation is his psychophysiological qualities and general condition. They are manifested due to the sensitivity of a person to the detection of security signals, before reacting to these signals. Indicators that determine a person's ability to detect a dangerous situation and adequately react to it depend on his individual characteristics, in particular on his nervous system. A person's behavior in a dangerous situation is also influenced by his mental and physical condition.

Mental state.

 

Modern man is faced with many risk factors that negatively affect the state of his nervous and cardiovascular systems, reducing the body's resistance. At the same time, a stressful situation of the body occurs. So, for example, a mental injury received as a result of a conflict brings a person out of a normal mental state, which can lead to significant changes in the performance of professional functions and general functional state. In translation, "stress" means "tension", that is, the body's response to the problem posed to it.

 

Stress is a set of general non-specific biochemical, physiological and psychological reactions of the body as a result of the action of extraordinary stimuli of various nature and nature, which cause organ dysfunction.

 

Complete relief from stress means death, therefore mild stress is a normal phenomenon in life and necessary for the realization of human fulfillment. However, if it is intense and long-lasting, it can become the basis for the development of diseases or lead to death.

 

It is known that people under the age of 30 have much more vital needs than older people, and therefore they are more likely to experience stress.

 

The body's resistance to various conditions is very individual. Some people endure extremely difficult extreme situations without any consequences, never faint, never lose willpower, psychological balance. Others lose endurance and self-confidence even in minor extreme situations. What does it depend on?

 

First, individual sensitivity to extreme situations is determined by the type of higher nervous activity.

 

There are four types of temperament: choleric, sanguine, phlegmatic, melancholic.

 

To harden the mental state, a person needs to use physical labor, sports, walks in the fresh air and other natural factors.

 

Second. The ability to control oneself, manage emotions, psychological stress. This means to constantly control your actions, deeds, to remain balanced even in the most stressful circumstances.

 

It should be noted that there are various psychological means of relieving nervous tension to restore working capacity, which include: psychotherapy, psychoprophylaxis, psychohygiene.

 

Psychotherapy is the therapeutic use of hypnosis when it is therapeutic without exposing the patient to any risk. Psychotherapy can be used for neurotic disorders that have occurred as a result of emergency situations, to reduce fear and anxiety.

 

Psychoprophylaxis is autogenic psychomuscular training, which aims to teach a person to consciously correct some processes in the body, which make it possible to protect the human psyche from harmful actions and "attune" it to processing difficulties and stressful situations. It can be used to restore strength before the working day, during breaks, as well as after the working day.

 

There are certain tests and formulas to relieve feelings of anxiety and fear. For faster recovery after fatigue, it is recommended to use self-induced sleep, i.e. learn to put yourself into sleep for a certain time and independently come out of it refreshed. The duration of induced sleep is 20-40 minutes.

 

Psychohygiene - includes the art of relationships between people, the spiritual harmony of man and nature, comfortable living conditions, various types of recreation.

 

The most important thing for a person is his physical state of health, which depends both on biological factors (heredity) and on a complex complex of social, economic, hygienic, climatographic and other environmental conditions.

 

Under the influence of adverse factors, the level of physical health decreases, and the improvement of conditions contributes to its increase.

 

A person's health, the resistance of his body to adverse environmental conditions, and work capacity largely depend on nutrition. Correct and rational nutrition is an important factor in ensuring human life, growth and development of the body, prevention and treatment of diseases, including those that have developed as a result of emergency situations.

 

Hardening of the body is an important factor in physical health.

 

Hardening is an increase in the body's resistance to adverse conditions of some environmental factors (for example, low and high temperatures) through systematic dosed effects of these factors on the body.

 

Hardening is based on the ability of the human body to adapt to changing environmental conditions. In humans, there is a process of adaptation of the body to new conditions of existence - adaptation occurs.

 

Cold hardening is practically the most important, since hypothermia of the body contributes to the emergence of respiratory viral diseases. In an organism resistant to low temperatures, heat is generated more intensively, which promotes better blood circulation and reduces the possibility of infectious diseases and frostbite.

 

Other means of strengthening health are morning hygienic gymnastics, being in nature - in the forest, park, near the sea, in the mountains, etc.
