"Young is not healthy, old nurses" This is a folk saying. Young people are in the ascending stage or the best state of physical function, full of vitality, have endless strength, and feel that they can fly with wings. Playing, dancing, running is always energetic. If you get sick with a cold, you don't need to take medicine for two days. Therefore, most young people do not care about health, do not care about health, and think that health care is the business of middle-aged people and even the elderly, and has nothing to do with themselves. Staying up late, working overtime, playing games, often eating supper, drinking, and tossing themselves around with the law, do young people really not need to maintain health?
I once wrote a sentence "The bad habits of youth, the beginning of the accumulation of severe diseases". Chinese medicine believes that health care is to conform to the behavior of nature, personal understanding is to eat food to meet the needs of the body, 1-2 in the morning to nourish the liver, 5-7 hours to kidney, 7-9 hours to the lungs, 9-11 spleen, 11-13 times the heart, according to the physiological characteristics of the five organs for rest or conditioning. Exercise should be suitable for the best range of the body's joints and organs, especially in a happy mood, do not add a burden to the liver, many aspects are to adapt to the needs of the body's natural system.
When a person reaches middle age, various diseases begin to attack, and when a person suddenly suffers unbearable pain, goes to the hospital for examination, and finds that it is a malignant tumor, and it is middle and advanced stages. The analysis is not difficult to find that the tumor has been latent in the patient's body for 5 years, 10 years, or even longer. From the original few tumor cells, it gradually grew into a grain of rice, a broad bean large. At this time, the tumor is small, and it does not affect the blood vessels and organs around the disease, it is not painful or itchy, and the body cannot feel it. When the tumor grows to the size of the egg or even larger, it will occupy the position, block the surrounding blood vessels, squeeze the organs, cause the blood vessels to be painless, and the function of the organs will be limited. General does not hurt, pain does not work, and the patient begins to suffer. According to the latent and growth process of tumors, many of them are bad habits of life when they are young, and the cause has been planted, and it is only then that they occur.
The Lancet Oncol published an article titled "Cancer incidence and mortality among young adults aged 20–39 years worldwide in 2012: a population-based study," which examines tumor morbidity and mortality in young people aged 20-39 years. This is a population-specific study to quantify the cancer burden of young adults (20-39 years old) worldwide, and is the first to study cancer incidence and mortality among young people worldwide.
The results of the study found that in 2012, a total of 975396 new tumors and 358392 tumor-related deaths occurred in people aged 20-39 years old worldwide, with a new tumor ASR of 43.3 and a death ASR of 15.9 per 100,000 people. Studies have shown that while developed countries have the highest incidence of cancer, these regions have developed economies, advanced medical technology, and the lowest mortality rates, with the largest mortality burden in parts of Africa and Asia. West Africa has the highest cancer mortality rate (64.3 per cent), while in East Africa and Central South Asia, cancer mortality rates are also higher than 50 per cent, both higher than those in Australia and New Zealand, Western Europe and North America, reflecting differences in tumor status and prognosis.
Do you still think that health care is only a matter for middle-aged and elderly people?
