Modern Lifestyle and Health
Lifestylecannot explain everything about life and health, but lifestyle is one of themost important instructions for life and health.
A largenumber of studies have shown that the main factors affecting human health haveundergone fundamental changes.
Thedevelopment of society, the improvement of living standards, and the change oflifestyle have brought some undesirable effects on human health, resulting insome new lifestyle diseases, or "modern civilization disease" or"wealth disease".
Thepathogens of lifestyle diseases are not bacteria or viruses, but badlifestyles, i.e., the result of long-term accumulation of multiple factors suchas irrational nutrition, smoking, alcoholism, lack of exercise, and mentalhealth.
A healthyand happy life has a similar healthy lifestyle; while a sickly and unfortunatelife also has a similar "experience"-an unhealthy lifestyle thatleads to misfortune and continues to produce disease and pain.
Therefore,fostering a healthy, civilized, and scientific lifestyle and strengtheningself-health management are important means to prevent and treat lifestylediseases.
The modernlifestyle is the embodiment of the modern economic foundation in the realm oflife.
Withlarge-scale urbanization and various industrial pollution, people's livingenvironment has undergone significant changes. Various natural elements closelyrelated to human existence, such as air, water, forest, and space, aregradually retreating from people’s senses and life and replaced by tallbuildings, noisy streets, turbid gas, and rigidity.
Inparticular, the quality of the basic natural elements directly related to humanhealth, such as soil, water, and atmosphere, is declining sharply.
Thealienation between man and nature is a mentality. It is mainly manifested inthat people's value orientation and life concepts are subject to the trend oftechnology and commercialization, which makes life present a strong humanisticcolor.
The greatestachievement of industrial civilization is the creation of huge social wealthand a developed commodity economy, but with the miraculous growth of materialwealth and economic prosperity, the spirit has shown a trend of shrinking andweakening.
On thematerial and spiritual balance, modern life has undergone a serious tilt.
The"crisis of faith", "moral slippage", and "loss ofvalue" have become the laments of the times.
Selfishness,narrow-mindedness, short-sightedness, and superficiality are manifestations ofunhealthy personalities. Under the squeeze of material gravity, people's spirituallife has become synonymous with sensory stimulation.
The rapidchanges in contemporary social life, the unprecedented increase in efficiencyawareness, the rapid development of mass media and the high expansion ofinformation flow have increased the living load of modern people; thedifferentiation of material interests and the prominent personal standard havecaused modern interpersonal relationships.
It isbecoming more and more complicated and difficult to grasp. Under such a bigsurvival situation, modern people are in a state of restlessness, and life isinfused with more blindness and competitiveness.
The nervousspirit, fluctuating emotions, and exhausted hearts have made modern people losetheir leisure. In a leisurely mood, life is like a monotonous noise.
There is norhythm, just blindly noisy, so the tiredness of living has become a universalfeeling of modern people.
The aboveaspects are interrelated and interact with each other, which not only brings aseries of ecological and social problems but also poses threats and hiddendangers to human's own health, leading to the emergence and existence of alarge number of lifestyle diseases.
Lifestylediseases have many manifestations: such as high-calorie, high-protein,high-fat, which can cause diseases to varying degrees.
The pursuitof sensory stimulation and a one-sided understanding of nutrition have causedmany factors that are not conducive to health in the food composition andeating habits of modern people.
Anotherconcentrated manifestation of lifestyle diseases is in health and beauty. Thereare signs that modern people’s physique, stamina, and ability to resistdiseases have also deteriorated compared with the predecessors.
The modernlifestyle has brought mankind into a "semi-healthy era". Theprosperity of various beauty techniques and the adoption of a large number ofcosmetics are a manifestation of people's rejection of natural forms under theinfluence of modern culture.
Peoplepursue external "beauty" while taking on the harmful factors tohealth.
The reportof the World Health Organization confirms that 40% of the problem of humanhealthy life span lies in genetics and objective environmental conditions: ofwhich 15% are genetic factors, 10% are social factors, 8% are medicalconditions, and 7% are living environment and geographic climate conditions. ;And 60% need their own efforts to "build" a good healthy lifestyle.
Therefore,from a young age, one should pay attention to health, choose a healthy andcivilized lifestyle, know self-care so that oneself can "be less sick,and achieve a good health goal.
