"Hey, you know what, I'm Friday Star this week!" Zhang Wei smiled and showed off to his colleagues, who had just returned from a nursing home, and the old people there had given him a lot of positive energy, even though it also made him deeply feel the fragility of life.
Zhang Wei, an ordinary bank clerk, is busy with numbers and accounts on weekdays, and his life is monotonous and repetitive.
This time he went to the nursing home to volunteer, originally just to make up for the company's public welfare activities, but he didn't expect it to completely change his attitude towards life.
In the nursing home, Zhang Wei met many elderly people who had been infected with the new coronavirus, and although the virus had left them, the sequelae left behind made their quality of life much worse than before.
Some of them, due to the impact of the new crown, have become unable to move, and some elderly people are even out of breath after simply walking a few steps because of impaired cardiopulmonary function.
Watching them work hard to maintain their basic life, Zhang Wei was extremely shocked, "I have to take good care of my body." Zhang Wei secretly vowed in his heart and decided to pay more attention to his health from now on.
So, he immediately made an appointment with the hospital and underwent a comprehensive physical examination, hoping to understand his physical condition from various indicators.
After the results of the physical examination came out, the doctor said to Zhang Wei: "Your physical condition is generally good, but some indicators show that you have been a little stressed recently and need to be adjusted appropriately."
The doctor's words made Zhang Wei realize that although he did not have any serious diseases, long-term work pressure and irregular living habits were also potential threats to health.
At this time, the doctor shared a seemingly unrelated point: "You know what? In fact, maintaining a positive and optimistic attitude has a much greater impact on your health than you think.
The doctor explained that positive emotions can boost the body's metabolism and strengthen immunity, while negative emotions can lead to the occurrence of chronic diseases.
Hearing this, Zhang Wei suddenly realized, he realized that health is not only a matter of physical examination indicators, but more importantly, it is necessary to have a healthy attitude and lifestyle.
From that day on, he began to adjust his living habits, insisting on exercising every day, paying attention to his diet, reducing overtime, and trying to maintain an optimistic attitude.
As time passed, Zhang Wei found that his body was getting better and better, full of energy, and his work efficiency had also improved significantly.
He began to share his experiences with those around him, hoping to influence more people to become health-conscious.
Why is it that when talking about health, "maintaining an optimistic mindset" is a topic that seems to have little to do with traditional medical knowledge?
In fact, research in recent years has shown that psychological factors have a much greater impact on human health than we think.
A person's emotional state can directly affect his endocrine system and immune system, which in turn affects the health of the whole body.
Long-term stress and anxiety can lead not only to psychological problems, but also to a variety of physical ailments such as high blood pressure and heart disease.
On the contrary, positive and optimistic emotions can stimulate people's life motivation, enhance immunity, and effectively prevent diseases.
Therefore, when we talk about health, we should not only focus on the material level of diet, exercise, etc., but also pay attention to the cultivation of mental health.
Maintaining a positive and optimistic mindset may be our most effective health umbrella.
Let's work together from now on to pursue a healthier and happier life!
