Going to bed early in the new year can reduce fat and gain muscle, improve skin and increase hair … …
Zhongqingbao Zhongqingwang reporter Xia Wei trainee reporter Chen Ding
2020 will be a difficult year for many people, and Lee Eon is no exception. At the age of 25, she joined the work this year and is an employee of a media company. It is not easy for a person to work hard in a big city. She is prepared for hardship and believes that life will get better and better. However, before the days became better and better, her sleep quality became worse and worse.
At first, I slept lightly, and I woke up several times intermittently at night. After waking up, I needed an hour or two to fall asleep again. Later, it was difficult for her to fall asleep before zero. Now I even go to bed late for fear of not being able to sleep. Lee Eon occasionally falls asleep unconsciously. When she wakes up, it is still dark outside the window, and her nights are always extraordinarily long.
She doesn’t want to take medicine. She sought the help of colleagues and friends around her and received some suggestions. For example, she doesn’t watch her mobile phone for an hour before going to bed, reads books before going to bed, avoids emotional excitement before going to bed, drinks less coffee during the day, and friends who like fitness also suggest that she take time out to do aerobic exercise every day, so as to make her body feel tired. These methods have been tried one by one, but the effect is not significant. "After lying down often, thoughts and pictures begin to surge in her mind, which can’t be suppressed or stopped. It seems that there is a cinema in my head. "
Many friends around Lee Eon also suffer from insomnia, and they even set up an "insomnia group", which was originally said to help each other fight insomnia, and later became a "night chat group" when they couldn’t sleep.
"I didn’t drink a cup of coffee today, and I’m not going to watch anything with a screen when I get home from work. I hope I can sleep peacefully tonight."

Sun Wei, Director of Sleep Department of Peking University Sixth Hospital:
Now more and more young people have joined the team of staying up late. What are the hazards of staying up late? First of all, staying up late will affect the quality of sleep. "The ideal time to fall asleep is 11 o’clock in the evening. The proportion of deep sleep is the highest from 11 pm to 1 am the next day. If you often stay up late and miss the best sleeping time, the proportion of shallow sleep and dreaming sleep will be higher, and the quality of sleep will be affected. "
Secondly, staying up late often will have an impact on weight. Because staying up late will affect the secretion of human growth hormone. Growth hormone reaches its peak at 11 o’clock in the evening. At this time, if people are asleep, growth hormone will be secreted more. If you are still awake, growth hormone will be under-secreted. Growth hormone can promote the decomposition of fat and the synthesis of protein. Therefore, going to bed early can promote the secretion of growth hormone, thus achieving the effect of reducing fat and increasing muscle.
Third, staying up late often will affect skin regeneration, skin will lack luster and elasticity, and people will appear aging. A good sleep is much more important for skin care than skin care products.
Fourth, staying up late will also affect hair regeneration. Many young people’s hairline moves backwards, which has a lot to do with staying up late. When staying up late, the concentration of cortisol in human body will increase, and the increase of cortisol will promote the immune response of hair follicle cells, accelerate the programmed apoptosis of cells, lead to hair follicle atrophy, hair loss and affect hair regeneration.
Wang Xueqin, Deputy Chief Physician, Department of Sleep Medicine, Peking University Sixth Hospital:
Medical research has found that watching blue screen for 2-5 hours before going to bed can reduce the synthesis and secretion of melatonin, hinder the increase of melatonin level, delay sleep time and make sleep shallow. Eliminating blue light is not the key to solve the problem. The best way is not to use electronic equipment before going to bed, turn off strong lighting and improve the public’s concept of sleep hygiene.
In Wang Xueqin’s view, often staying up late, pushing back the sleeping time indefinitely, and disrupting the biological clock artificially, these external behaviors are likely to modify genes. In the long run, melatonin will be at a low level for a long time. Melatonin can regulate mood. Dr. Wang Xueqin found that many patients who came to sleep medicine department thought they were just sleeping problems, but they were found to be depressive disorder after examination.
Another kind of sleep disorder is becoming more and more common among young people — — "Sleep phase delay syndrome". Dr. Wang Xueqin explained that the sleep phase delay syndrome refers to a pattern that the patient’s main sleep period is shifted back in the 24-hour day and night cycle, usually more than two hours, which is a delay in the start and wake-up time of sleep. The patient can’t fall asleep (wake up) at a desired or conventionally acceptable early time. They have obvious difficulty in falling asleep, but once they fall asleep, there is no obvious abnormality in the quality and quantity of sleep and the result of sleep.
When people are deprived of sleep, in order to stay awake for a long time, the body will increase the secretion of orexin and increase food intake behavior. Many people who stay up late will become obese, which may also be related to the increased secretion of orexin. Orexin is not only involved in regulating sleep — — The awakening cycle also regulates physiological functions such as feeding behavior, energy metabolism, insulin secretion and gastric acid secretion.
"Sleep beauty sleep is based on science. Good sleep plays an important role in maintaining healthy weight. At the same time, orexin is also involved in brain cognitive activities, so staying up late is not only easy to gain weight, but also may lead to inattention and memory loss. Once the sleep rhythm is changed or destroyed, people often feel the decline of brain function. " Wang Xueqin said.

[Keywords: hair loss]
This stops the receding hairline.
Zhongqingbao Zhongqingwang Trainee Reporter Chen Ding
In Song Yi’s impression, hair loss is related to genetics. Song Yi’s parents’ hair is dark and thick, and no relatives at home have lost their hair. According to her parents, when she was a child, the hairdresser would especially help her trim her hair thin. However, this year she began to lose her hair. Get up with a lot of pillows every day, and after washing your hair, the bathroom drain will be blocked by hair. After work, the pressure is much greater, but she still insists on a good schedule, works efficiently during the day, rarely stays up late, and often goes to the gym to exercise for health, and avoids spicy food in her diet. Song Yi said: "I have thought about using some hair growth drugs, but I am worried about what side effects it will have on my body. I only used some shampoo to prevent alopecia, but the effect was not obvious. I really don’t know what to do now. "
[Expert advice]
Yang Dingquan, Director of Hair Medicine Center of China-Japan Friendship Hospital:
The common types of alopecia are androgenic alopecia, alopecia areata and telophase alopecia. Hair loss in resting stage is mainly caused by malnutrition, seasonal changes and other factors, and the number of hair loss can gradually return to normal in 3 to 4 months after the cause is lifted. Alopecia areata is mainly related to factors such as heredity, immunity and mental stress. Generally, it is necessary to go to the hospital for dermatological treatment, find the inducing factors and receive professional treatment, and most of them can be cured. Androgenic alopecia accounts for 95% of alopecia patients, mainly in adult males. In China, there are about 130 million male patients with androgenic alopecia and about 30 million female patients.
Yang Dingquan said that androgenic alopecia is mainly characterized by thinning, shortening and softening of the hair on the top of the head, characterized by the backward movement of the front hairline and the decrease of the hair on the top of the head, which eventually leads to baldness, while the decrease of the hair on the temporal side and occipital part is not obvious, which eventually leads to the formation of M-shaped, C-shaped and U-shaped alopecia areas on the top of the head.
The causes of androgenic alopecia mainly include heredity, androgen metabolism, mental stress, hair follicle microenvironment and other factors. Hereditarily, androgenic alopecia is considered as a polygenic disease, and about 50% of male androgenic alopecia patients have a clear family history.
Excessive testosterone and dihydrotestosterone combined with hair follicles in sensitive areas of the top of the head will lead to long-term shortening, prolonged resting period and slow growth of hair in this area, which is currently considered to be the main cause of androgenic alopecia. "Dihydrotestosterone is in men until they are 18 years old ‘ Do good deeds ’ , to help boys develop into masculinity, such as Adam’s apple development, voice change, long beard, etc., but it begins after men are 18 years old ‘ Do bad things ’ , make people oily, acne and baldness. Therefore, androgenic alopecia’s onset is generally after the age of 18, and some of them even began to lose their hair after changing their voices. " Yang Dingquan said.
The third main factor leading to androgenic alopecia is mental stress, often staying up late to work, with great mental stress. Long-term tension, anxiety, depression and anger will lead to fluctuations in hormone levels in the body, which will make the human body produce stress hormones, thus shortening the hair follicle cycle and accelerating hair loss.
Hair loss is a disease caused by many factors. Sex hormone level, individual sensitivity and hair follicle microenvironment may all be the conditions for hair loss. "Some people with elevated androgen or staying up late often do not necessarily have hair loss problems. Whether these pathogenic factors will cause the disease varies from person to person. The latest research found that hair follicle microenvironment is also closely related to hair loss, including local microcirculation, infection and inflammation around hair follicles, which have an important impact on the growth cycle of hair follicles, which is also a hot spot in clinical research. " Yang Dingquan said.
So how do you judge whether you are losing your hair? Yang Dingquan said that men can press the top of the head with their hands, and then press the back pillow. If they feel that the thickness of hair on the top of the head is thinner than that on the back of the head, they may have hair loss. If women find that their hair falls off more when washing their hair, or there is an obvious "middle point" on the top of their heads, and more scalp is exposed, it means that hair loss is obvious. "There is also a judgment method that many people know, that is, it is normal natural hair loss to lose less than 100 hairs every day. Under normal circumstances, hair loss during shampooing will account for 70% of hair loss throughout the day, so it is normal to lose no more than 70 hairs after washing your head. "
Yang Dingquan suggested that if hair loss is mild, you can take home treatment methods such as maintenance, massage and diet health care. You should work and rest regularly, avoid staying up late and feel comfortable. At the same time, pay attention to diet, and eat coarse grains, beans, auricularia auricula, fresh vegetables and fruits, seafood and other foods with high protein content and rich vitamins, as well as crude fiber foods. Eat less sugary foods and avoid irritating foods such as peppers and raw garlic. In addition, anaerobic exercise can also stimulate the secretion of testosterone, so we should pay attention to doing more aerobic exercise.
Androgenic alopecia can’t be cured, but effective prevention and treatment can reduce the degree and delay the onset time. If the alopecia is serious, it is recommended to see a doctor, find out the cause of alopecia through blood tests, and then check the degree of alopecia through a hair mirror. Finally, the doctor can check the patient’s alopecia type and then choose a specific treatment method. The drugs used in the treatment include promoting hair growth, adjusting hormone levels, relieving anxiety, anti-infection and improving microcirculation. It is actually a misunderstanding that the use of drugs to treat alopecia will affect fertility. As long as the treatment of alopecia follows the principles of early, long-term, standardized, combined and individualized protection, 90% patients can stop the disease and 70% patients can grow hair.
If you are still not satisfied after drug treatment, you can consider doing hair transplant surgery. Hair transplantation is not once and for all. The essence of hair transplantation is the redistribution of hair follicle resources. It is a long-term process to combine "nurturing, transplanting and protecting".
"Don’t just believe in the so-called magic quick-acting method for the treatment of hair loss, and don’t trust folk remedies. To treat serious hair loss, you must go to a hospital or a hair specialist clinic or a hair medical center in a regular medical institution for treatment. " Yang Dingquan warned.

[Keywords: obesity]
The epidemic gave everyone a chance to get fat, and someone seized it firmly.
Zhongqingbao Zhongqingwang reporter Maggie Cheung
Lin Zhou (a pseudonym), a young man from Wuhan, loves food and doesn’t like sports since he was a child. He is 1.78 meters tall and once weighed about 200 pounds. During the epidemic, because he ate more and exercised less, in June, his weight soared to 556 kg, and his body could not bear it. He lay down uncomfortable and couldn’t breathe. He called 120 for help.
The medical staff of Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University visited Lin Zhou for nucleic acid detection and pre-hospital examination. The doctor said that obesity led to Lin Zhou’s acute heart failure, which would be life-threatening if not treated in time. After admission, Lin Zhou received various examinations and symptomatic treatment such as color Doppler ultrasound and sleep monitoring. After more than a week, Lin Zhou was finally out of danger and transferred to the general ward.
During the epidemic, many people suffered from weight gain. In April this year, a survey conducted by our newspaper on 3,005 respondents showed that 73.7% of the respondents gained weight during the epidemic. Respondents believe that the three main reasons for gaining weight are less exercise, chaotic work and rest, and eating more meals.

Wang Fang, Deputy Director of Cardiology Department of Beijing Hospital and Director of Echocardiography Room:
Obesity may lead to a series of complications or related diseases, and then affect people’s life expectancy or lead to a decline in quality of life, which may lead to physical, psychological and social problems. It has been proved that obesity is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease, diabetes and some cancers.
How to judge whether you are obese?
There are ways to judge obesity in medicine. Standard weight (kg)= height (cm)-105, obesity degree (%) = (actual weight-standard weight)/standard weight ×100%. Obesity is normal at 10%, overweight at 10%-20%, mild obesity at 20%-30%, moderate obesity at 30%-50%, severe obesity at over 50% and morbid obesity at over 100%.
Modern methods to treat obesity include reasonable diet, exercise, behavior and lifestyle adjustment, psychological and social support, drugs and surgery. Among them, lifestyle intervention is very important. A healthy lifestyle mainly includes the following four aspects: reasonable diet and weight control; Proper exercise depends on persistence; Quit smoking and limit alcohol, and benefit endlessly; Stay optimistic and psychologically balanced.
A reasonable diet structure needs to control total calories, balance diet and reasonable collocation. "The food we eat is decomposed and metabolized, and then heat is generated for human consumption. The ways of consuming calories mainly include basal metabolism (energy needed to maintain basic activities of life), physical activity and other consumption. When the supply of heat exceeds the consumption, the remaining heat will be stored, and the body is more inclined to turn this heat into excess fat. Eat too much food and consume less; Normal diet, but insufficient consumption in the body may lead to excess fat. Obese people are more than normal weight people ‘ Anabolic ’ More hyperactivity means eating the same food, and the former is more likely to synthesize fat and keep it. " Wang Fang said.
Wang Fang emphasized that controlling calorie intake does not mean dieting, nor can it be an extreme way to lose weight by not eating staple food. She said that eating should be based on the principles of: eating breakfast well, eating lunch on time and making dinner as light as possible. Some details need attention, such as trying to slow down the speed of eating and chew slowly; Eat less snacks; Don’t watch TV or mobile phone while eating.
Specifically, Wang Fang suggested that women consume 1200 kilocalories a day and men consume 1800 kilocalories, so that there will be no calories left. The reference recipe of 1200 kilocalories is: breakfast, half steamed bread, 250 ml milk; For lunch, 75g of rice, 50g of lean meat, 250g of vegetables and 1 spoon of vegetable oil; For dinner, 75g of rice, 75g of fish, 250g of vegetables and 1 spoon of vegetable oil. The reference recipe for 1800 kcal is: breakfast, half steamed bread, 1 egg and 250 ml milk; For lunch, 1 steamed bread, 100g lean meat, 250g vegetables and 1 spoon vegetable oil; For dinner, 1 steamed bread, 100g of tofu, 250g of vegetables and 1 spoon of vegetable oil; Before going to bed, 250 ml of milk and 3-5 pieces of salty biscuits.
"It is worth mentioning that obesity is not only directly related to diet, but also closely related to heredity. The study found that for teenagers under the age of 20, their parents’ weight is normal, and the incidence of obesity in their offspring does not exceed 10%; The parents are obese, and the incidence of obesity in offspring exceeds 70%. Therefore, for the health of our future generations, friends who have not yet become parents should also manage their weight. " Wang Fang said.
A healthy lifestyle requires scientific exercise. Wang Fang said that it is not enough to "move". Exercise is a purposeful, planned and repeatable physical activity involving multiple large muscle groups, which aims to promote cardiopulmonary endurance, muscle strength, balance and flexibility. It is not that not lying in bed or sitting still means exercising, and daily activities cannot replace exercise.
"The energy consumption of exercise is several times and dozens of times that of quiet. Sitting for 1 hour consumes 80 kcal, walking for 1 hour consumes 180 -200 kcal, and running for 1 hour consumes 500 -700 kcal. " Wang Fang said that the choice of exercise methods varies from person to person, and generally you can choose walking, jogging, tai chi and swimming. Exercise should be appropriate, and it is appropriate not to feel tired after exercise. If possible, exercise for 30 minutes every day, at least 3 times a week.
Wang Fang suggested that the exercise should be carried out in a constant, orderly and moderate way. Wang Fang introduced that the intensity of exercise can be judged by the "heart rate estimation method". Generally speaking, people’s heart rate will be maintained at (60-100) beats/minute when they are quiet. The formula of heart rate range of moderate intensity aerobic exercise is: maximum heart rate *(60%-70%), in which maximum heart rate =220- age. For example, for a 45-year-old man, the maximum heart rate is 220-45=175, and the moderate intensity range is 175*(60%-70%)=(105-122) beats per minute. If the man’s heart rate after exercise is in the above range, then he is doing moderate intensity exercise, and if it exceeds it, it is high intensity, and vice versa.
Wang Fang particularly emphasized that sports should be scientific and should not be exercised at will. It should be carried out step by step according to everyone’s specific situation, such as age, gender and physique.

What can young people do to stay away from myopia?
Zhongqingbao Zhongqingwang reporter Maggie Cheung
Liu Na is 26 years old and has been wearing glasses for more than ten years. One day in the fourth grade of primary school, my mother found her squinting at TV and asked her if her eyes were uncomfortable. When I went to the hospital for examination, I found that I was nearsighted. Although the degree of myopia has not increased much in recent years, up to now, she has changed more than a dozen pairs of glasses, and the most expensive pair cost more than 3,000 yuan.
During the epidemic this year, Liu Na worked at home, staring at the computer every day, lying down and brushing his mobile phone when he was not working. Although he has returned to work, he still often plays with his mobile phone until midnight. "My myopia has deepened, so I came to change my lenses."
In China, more than 600 million people suffer from myopia. The White Paper on Eye Health in China released by the National Health and Health Commission on June 5th shows that the overall myopia rate of children and adolescents in China is 53.6%, including 14.5% for 6-year-old children, 36% for primary school students, 71.6% for junior high school students, 81% for senior high school students and 90% for college students.
[Expert advice]
Wei Wenbin, Vice President and Director of Ophthalmology, Beijing Tongren Hospital:
Myopia is closely related to long-term close eye use. Especially during the epidemic, children and adolescents should not only avoid going out for activities, but also study through online classes, which will undoubtedly lead to myopia or deepen myopia.
How do children and adolescents use their eyes reasonably? Wei Wenbin suggested avoiding using electronic products and watching TV for a long time. The selection of electronic products should adhere to the principle of "rather big than small", and the order of selection is projection, TV, computer, tablet computer and mobile phone. Non-learning to use electronic products does not exceed 15 minutes, and the cumulative time per day does not exceed 1 hour. After studying online for 30 to 40 minutes, close your eyes and rest or overlook for 10 minutes. Do eye exercises carefully after continuous use of eyes, so that eyes can have a full rest. When reading and writing, keep "three ones", with your hands one inch away from the pen tip, your eyes one foot away from the book, and your chest one punch away from the desk.
In addition, we should get rid of bad eye habits. Do not read books or use electronic products when eating or lying in bed, do not read or write in the case of too dim light or direct sunlight, and turn on the room headlights and table lamps at the same time during reading and writing. The table lamps should have sufficient and uniform brightness and color temperature, and books and papers should avoid hardcover coated paper to reduce glare. Screen saver wallpaper with green background can be set to relieve eye fatigue.
Wei Wenbin suggested that primary school students sleep 10 hours a day, junior high school students 9 hours and senior high school students 8 hours. We should carefully observe the abnormal situations such as children’s slanting eyes, frequent squinting and eye-squeezing, and go to the hospital if necessary.
In April this year, the National Health and Wellness Commission issued the Guidelines for the Prevention of Myopia among Children and Adolescents during the COVID-19 Epidemic, which specifically mentioned that outdoor activities are the simplest and most effective way to prevent myopia, and full exposure to sunlight can effectively prevent the occurrence and development of myopia. Ensure more than two hours of outdoor activities every day; Children and adolescents are encouraged to increase their exposure to outdoor sunlight by walking to and from school, walking out of the classroom during recess, and doing outdoor activities after school in the afternoon and finishing their homework.
For children and adolescents who are already nearsighted, Wei Wenbin said that once they are diagnosed with myopia, they should intervene and wear glasses when the degree is greater than 100 degrees. "First of all, we should go to the hospital for identification, and distinguish between true myopia or asthenopia and pseudomyopia."
Wei Wenbin reminded that adults who watch electronic screens for a long time may have a deeper degree of myopia, and at the same time cause fundus lesions. This is also the most important cause of blindness. "The deepening of myopia in middle-aged and elderly people may be related to the occurrence and development of cataracts, so office workers should also pay attention to eye care and have eye examinations if necessary to avoid delaying treatment."
Guo Xin, Director of School Health Center of Beijing CDC:
When reading and writing, choosing a suitable desk is conducive to protecting teenagers’ eyesight and preventing myopia. You can’t use a dining table, dining chair or bed instead. Inappropriate tables and chairs will have a great impact on sitting posture and sight distance, leading to diseases such as myopia and spinal curvature in children. Children and adolescents should be ensured to sit in a chair with their thighs and calves vertical, their backs straight, their upper arms drooping, and their elbows 3-4 cm below the desktop.

Meet anxiety? Acceptance, moderate catharsis and positive response
Zhongqingbao Zhongqingwang reporter Xia Wei trainee reporter Chen Ding
"Anxiety usually comes suddenly, mostly in the middle of the night. At a certain moment when reading a book, brushing a circle of friends or chatting with friends, you will suddenly fall into anxiety, your heart rate will increase, you can’t continue to concentrate on what you are doing, and even sometimes you want to cry." Xu Lu (a pseudonym), 27, is an employee of a foreign company. He said that he used to feel anxious because he had no ideal and goal, but now he is anxious because he has an ideal, but he doesn’t know whether and when it can be realized. "After work, I am always dissatisfied with my present self, afraid to see others finish what I want to do first, and afraid to be compared with others in my field. I don’t want to lose, and I don’t want to spend my life in mediocrity. When the feelings of being unwilling to others are gradually amplified, being stronger becomes anxiety. I often think: when you indulge your anxiety, maybe others are trying, you should act immediately. The more I think about it, the more anxious I am. "
Contrary to Xu Lu, Cao Shu (pseudonym)’ s anxiety is "doing something he doesn’t like but doesn’t know what he really wants to do." Cao Shu is 23 years old. His first job after graduation was chosen for him by his parents, but he has no interest in it at all. "There was a lot of workload and pressure for a while, and I had to work overtime until late at night almost every day. In my dream, I was either making a report or quarreling with my leaders and colleagues. After waking up, I felt my mind was blank in bed. Later, I resigned without consulting my parents. "
After resigning, Cao Shu had several stormy quarrels with his parents. After the quarrel was exhausted, he locked himself in his room and listened to his father shouting through the door, "What are you doing?" After a few days of calm, he decided to study abroad, but then he met with an epidemic and his study abroad plan was put on hold. "I am often anxious because I don’t know what to do in the future. I don’t have a clear goal, and I don’t want to do things that I don’t want to do against my will. I always feel that anxiety will haunt me until I find my way and prove myself. When you are anxious, you will suddenly feel at a loss, and you can’t continue to do anything. You always feel down-to-earth and restless in your heart. Even remembering that feeling at this time will feel painful. "
[Expert suggestion]:
Shi Chuan, Director of Clinical Evaluation Center of Peking University Sixth Hospital:
The core of anxiety is uncertainty, not knowing what will happen. Anxiety can be manifested as fear or various physical symptoms.
There are various forms of anxiety, which can be divided into mental anxiety and physical anxiety in performance, and chronic generalized anxiety and acute panic attack in attack.
Mental anxiety is manifested as excessive mental worry and generalization. Because the spirit is in a tense state for a long time, the individual will be easily provoked, angry and angry, and it will affect the individual’s brain’s understanding and judgment of the world, and it will lead to inattention and easy distraction. Long-term anxiety will make the brain in an abnormal active state, which will lead to insomnia. Insomnia will cause new problems, such as memory loss and slow response.
Anxiety can also produce a series of physical symptoms, such as palpitation, tightness in the chest, dry mouth, frequent urination, sweating, and even feeling breathless or excessive panting. Muscles will also show a particularly tight phenomenon, which is easy to ache and even tremble. Acute anxiety, also known as panic attack, is manifested as: suddenly feeling flustered, chest tightness, sweating, feeling out of control, and even having a sense of dying. The onset time of acute anxiety is relatively short, generally lasting for several minutes or more than ten minutes, and the longest time will not exceed one hour, which is characterized by sudden onset and sudden termination.
Anxiety actually has its function and significance. Anxiety is a kind of stress response when human beings face major events such as illness and disaster, and it is a normal phenomenon. In fact, it is an epidemic prevention function that the organism itself should have, and when it encounters a major event — — For example, this COVID-19 epidemic — — Anxiety is a normal reaction of people, and it is a protective mechanism of the body.
Yang Fude, Party Secretary of Beijing huilongguan hospital:
Everyone will have some negative emotions such as anxiety and worry after experiencing major negative events, which are normal. We should accept and allow ourselves to have these emotions and vent them appropriately. In the face of pressure, we can take some positive measures, such as living in a stable place, eating regularly and resting on time. Maintaining daily life and a stable psychological state helps to reduce stress. A stable psychological state can be achieved by some stabilization techniques, such as deep breathing relaxation, music relaxation, meditation training and so on. Taking positive coping styles also includes living a regular life, getting good social support, communicating with trusted people such as family and friends, and doing something that interests you or makes you feel happy. At the same time, everyone should pay attention to avoid negative coping, don’t drink too much, smoke, take drugs, and don’t overwork and sleep too much.
