These four symptoms appear in the body

Maybe the immune system is killing viruses

1. Cough

Cough is a common symptom of respiratory diseases and is not a disease, but rather a defensive behavior. It can expel bacteria, foreign objects, etc. from the body through coughing, which is more conducive to the health of the body.

Many people immediately use cough suppressants to stop coughing, which is a very incorrect behavior. This can actually cause some bacteria and foreign objects to stay in the trachea, leading to inflammation and even more detrimental to physical health.

Especially when there is phlegm in the throat, it is important to first resolve the phlegm, rather than stopping the cough, otherwise it can be very dangerous for phlegm to block in the trachea.

Of course, it's not that coughing doesn't require treatment, it's just that the cause needs to be identified first, and then targeted for treatment. Especially when accompanied by fever and sore throat, it is important to seek timely treatment, otherwise it may worsen the condition.

2. Vomiting

When the stomach feels uncomfortable after eating too much, vomiting can actually be much easier. Vomiting can cause harmful substances to be excreted and reduce absorption.

If you feel like vomiting, using some antiemetic drugs can actually cause harmful substances to remain. If the stomach was no longer functioning and unable to accept more food, spitting it out would actually be much better.

Don't rush to eat after vomiting. You can exercise slightly and let your body relax before eating. You can replenish water in moderation to avoid water and electrolyte disorders.

If you repeatedly vomit or have symptoms such as abdominal pain, fever, etc., you need to seek medical attention in a timely manner!

3. Fever

4. Diarrhea

Sometimes when you catch a cold, you may have a slight diarrhea, so don't be too nervous at this time. Occasionally, if you have mild diarrhea, you can drink some hot water to help the intestines excrete and prevent dehydration.

If there is severe diarrhea, frequent bowel movements, low bowel volume, spasmodic pain in the anus, or bloody discharge, or accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal pain, fever, vomiting, etc., immediate medical attention should be sought.

What lifestyle habits can easily affect lifespan?

1. Lack of exercise

People who frequently do not exercise have poor circulation of qi and blood, weak muscles, and weakened immune and disease resistance, making them more susceptible to external pathogens and infections of diseases and viruses.

Long term inactivity reduces the metabolic capacity of the body to sugar, cholesterol, triglycerides, uric acid and other substances, resulting in the gradual accumulation of "garbage" in the blood vessels and the formation of atherosclerotic plaques.

Proper exercise can help clean up vascular debris, enhance vascular elasticity, and maintain vascular health. Persisting in exercise can accelerate metabolism, enhance cardiovascular function, muscle strength, improve the regulatory ability of various systems in the body, help maintain an optimistic attitude, and enhance the body's immune system.

2. Cross one's legs on stilts

Many people just sit down for more than ten seconds and begin to cross their legs unconsciously, even shaking involuntarily. This sitting posture can cause the pelvis to tilt, the spine to be misaligned, and the muscles in the lower back of the body are constantly stretched or tightened, which can lead to problems such as lumbar muscle strain and scoliosis in the long run.

It may also be related to varicose veins: pressing one leg against the other will affect the venous blood flow of the lower limbs, aggravate varicose veins, and even induce venous thrombosis.

The pressure generated when crossing legs compresses the nerves in the popliteal fossa, causing numbness in the muscles of the legs and feet. That's why you feel 'numb in your legs and feet'.

3. Sedentary

If you remain motionless for more than 3 hours, it is considered sedentary, and prolonged sitting may increase the risk of sudden death!

Sitting in front of the computer for a long time will affect the blood supply of the lower extremities, which may form venous thrombosis of the lower extremities. The thrombosis falls off during exercise, increasing the risk of pulmonary infarction, and even leading to sudden death.

Long term sitting can also affect blood circulation, increase blood viscosity, lead to insufficient blood supply to the heart and brain, and increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

In addition, prolonged sitting can increase the burden on the lumbar spine, increase the risk of lumbar disc herniation, and lead to symptoms such as lower back and leg pain and poor walking.

4. Drinking too little water

When you feel thirsty, the amount of water lost in your body is 1% of your body weight, and your body's functions have begun to be affected;

When the amount of water loss reaches 2%, thirst becomes apparent, urine, sweat, and saliva decrease, blood viscosity increases, thrombosis occurs, and the risk of inducing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events such as myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction increases. Human movement and behavior are negatively affected, accompanied by depression and decreased appetite;

When the amount of water loss reaches 3% to 6%, the body will be very uncomfortable, with symptoms such as dry skin, hoarseness, faster heartbeat, decreased blood pressure, low energy, and overall weakness;

When the amount of water loss reaches more than 6%, there will be hypovolemia, shock, trance, coma and other symptoms. If water is not replenished in time, life will be endangered.

5. Effort to defecate

Excessive or improper use of force during constipation or defecation can increase abdominal pressure, suddenly increase blood pressure, and increase the burden on the heart. It is likely to cause angina, acute myocardial infarction, stroke, and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents, and in severe cases, it can lead to sudden death.

This kind of situation is common in middle-aged and elderly people, especially those who have suffered from hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, cerebral infarction, arteriosclerosis and other basic diseases, so it is important to keep the stool unobstructed.

6. Go to the bathroom, play with your phone or read a book

Playing with a mobile phone or reading in the restroom can distract people's attention. Problems that could have been solved in just a few minutes, but have not been solved for more than half an hour, can cause excrement to remain in the anus for a long time, or stimulate blood vessels, resulting in congestion. Prolonged use can cause poor blood flow, thrombosis, and the formation of hemorrhoids.

What lifestyle habits contribute to longevity?

1. Persist in taking a nap every day

Daytime naps allow time for both the brain and physical strength to recover, temporarily putting aside work and releasing stress, allowing the brain to return to a more focused state. However, the duration should not be too long, and naps should be limited to around 20-30 minutes.

2. Brisk walking

Walking briskly is a low-cost, low-risk, convenient, and high health benefit aerobic exercise method that can help lose weight and lower three highs. Wearing a pair of lightweight sports shoes, going out for a few laps every morning and evening, steadily moving your legs and swinging your arms are beneficial for cardiovascular and even overall health.

3. Eat less red meat

Red meat is an important source of protein. It is rich in iron, vitamin B12, lecithin, niacin and other nutrients. Proper consumption of red meat such as cattle, sheep and pigs is beneficial to the human body, but excessive consumption will increase weight, abdominal obesity, and increase the risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes, hyperuricemia, hypertension, atherosclerosis, cancer and other diseases.

It is recommended to consume red meat no more than 3 times a week and no more than 75g each time. It is best to choose lean meat and eat less fat and viscera. At the same time, pay attention to cooking methods and avoid fried, smoked, and grilled red meat.

4. Bask in the sun

Increasing sunlight exposure during the day will accumulate more natural melatonin in the brain, reduce anxiety, improve mood, and aid in sleep at night.

There is also a close relationship between sun exposure and calcium supplementation, which can help the body obtain vitamin D, which can help the body absorb calcium, promote bone health, and prevent osteoporosis. It is recommended to bask in the sun for 10-20 minutes every day.

5. Treat nuts as snacks

Compared to people who do not eat nuts regularly (or at all), those who consume nuts several times a week have a lower risk of death.

Nuts are rich in dietary fiber and a high-quality source of linoleic acid. Research has found that consuming 28g of nuts per day is associated with a 25% reduction in the risk of coronary heart disease. The "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2022)" also recommends consuming 25g to 35g of soybeans and nuts every day. Remember not to overdo it and it is best to eat nuts between meals.

6. Communicate and interact with others more

Chatting is a mental process, and the process of communication between people is also a brain training exercise to exercise reaction and language abilities. Chatting can also eliminate worries and relieve boredom, which is very important for health, and the more you use it, the smarter you become!

Frequently doing games and activities that challenge memory can delay brain aging. For example, doing puzzles, learning a foreign language, and dancing a new dance can make the brain get more blood and nutrition supplies, which may improve memory ability and delay brain aging.
