The Self-Healing Power of the Human Body
I. The Role of Medical Services in Health
Research shows that medical services only contribute 10% to one's overall health, while genetics account for 30%, socioeconomic and environmental factors account for 20%, and personal behaviors account for 40%. However, medical services play a crucial role in three aspects: resolving emergency situations, controlling chronic diseases, and curing certain illnesses.
II. Diseases that can Self-Resolve without Medication
1. Mild Diarrhea: Diarrhea caused by consuming contaminated food can usually be resolved by maintaining a light diet and replenishing fluids without the need for medication.
2. Common Cold: It is a self-limiting disease that can be resolved within around 7 days without any specific medication.
3. Sub-threshold "Three Highs": Mild hypertension, prediabetes, and borderline hyperlipidemia can be controlled through lifestyle interventions without the immediate need for medication.
III. Enhancing the Body's Self-Healing Abilities
1. Diversified Diet: Consuming a variety of nutrient-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, and high-quality proteins is essential to support the body's self-healing abilities.
2. Regular Exercise: Engaging in suitable aerobic exercises, like walking, running, swimming, or cycling, for at least 30 minutes, 3-5 times a week helps boost the body's immunity.
3. Positive Mental State: Maintaining a positive mindset improves overall well-being, strengthens the body's immune system, and reduces the risk of diseases.
4. Sufficient Sleep: Restorative sleep aids in the body's self-repair and regulation processes, positively impacting overall health and well-being.
