How many methods do you have for self testing (SEP) in sub-health? Sub healthy refers to a non disease and non healthy state, which is a type of suboptimal health state (meaning inferior) that lies between health and disease. Therefore, it is also known as sub healthy, third state, intermediate state, free (moving) state, gray state, etc. It is a state of physiological dysfunction between disease and health, and sub-health is also a precursor to many diseases, such as hepatitis, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, metabolic diseases, and so on. The sub-health population generally has six highs and one low, namely high stress (psychological and physical), hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, high body weight, and low immune function. Upon closer examination, sub-health is a broad concept that encompasses several interconnected stages. Among them, those closely related to health can be referred to as mild psychosomatic disorders, often characterized by fatigue, insomnia, poor appetite, emotional instability, and other symptoms. However, these disorders are easy to recover from, and once recovered, they are no different from healthy individuals. It accounts for about 25% to 28% of the population. If this imbalance continues to develop, it can enter a latent clinical state, at which point it has shown a high-risk tendency to develop into certain diseases, with a high possibility of developing into a certain disease. More than one-third of the population is in this state, and the proportion has sharply increased among those aged 40 and above. Their performance is quite complicated, which can be chronic fatigue or persistent psychosomatic disorders, including the aforementioned symptoms lasting for more than 2 months, often accompanied by chronic sore throat, recurrent colds, and lack of energy. Experts have also categorized its complex manifestations into three types: decreased vitality, decreased responsiveness, and decreased adaptability. From clinical testing, it can be seen that this type of population in cities tends to exhibit a concentration of three highs and one low, with high blood lipids, high blood sugar, high blood viscosity, and low immune function approaching critical levels.At least 10% of people fall between subclinical and pathological conditions, which can be referred to as preclinical status. This refers to the presence of lesions, but the symptoms are not yet obvious or have not been given enough attention, or have not been diagnosed, or even if a doctor conducts an examination, it has not been detected at the time. Strictly speaking, the last category is no longer considered subhealth, but rather an unhealthy state with illness, which only requires a clear diagnosis. Therefore, excluding this group of people, many researchers believe that sub-health individuals account for about 60% of the population. Studies both domestically and internationally have shown that in modern society, only about 15% of the population meets health standards. Interestingly, about 15% of the population have been diagnosed with the disease and are in an unhealthy state. If health and disease are seen as two ends of the life process, then it is like an olive with two pointed ends and a large protruding piece in the middle, which is in a transitional state between health and disease - sub-health.Reasonable coping therapy for sub-health
Step 1: Self testing
Common symptoms include insomnia, dizziness, fatigue, drowsiness, laziness, shortness of breath, sweating, palpitations, muscle soreness, joint pain, and sexual dysfunction. Psychologically, there may be feelings of low mood, slow response, decreased memory, restlessness, fear, anxiety, irritability, and neuroticism. The above manifestations no longer belong to the category of health, but still do not meet certain diagnostic criteria for diseases. However, having the above symptoms does not necessarily mean sub-health, and it is still necessary to see if these symptoms can be quickly recovered after rest. If the symptoms persist for a long time, attention should be increased and relevant examinations should be taken to the hospital.
Step 2: Conduct Examination
It is difficult to detect sub-health problems by examining according to the standards of the disease. Therefore, special examinations should be conducted based on different individuals and symptoms.
a. Element check. Although sub-health tends to favor middle-aged people, there is actually a possibility of sub-health occurring in people from children to the elderly. One of the main causes of sub-health in children is an imbalance of elements, such as zinc deficiency, which can lead to symptoms such as anorexia and picky eating. Therefore, element checking can be performed. Currently, the most commonly used method is to measure over 30 elements in the human body using human blood or hair, and then supplement the missing elements in a targeted manner.
b. Determination of hormone levels in the blood. One of the main causes of sub-health status in middle-aged people is hormonal imbalance, which affects various system functions due to decreased reproductive endocrine function. The most common symptoms include red and hot flashes, insomnia, decreased sexual function, emotional fluctuations, palpitations, and chest tightness. Men should check their blood for free testosterone, while women should check their blood for estrogen, progesterone, androgen, follicle stimulating hormone, etc., and then follow the doctor's guidance for treatment.
c. One drop of blood sub-health examination. One of the main causes of sub-health status in the elderly is metabolic imbalance. Due to aging, metabolism slows down, energy supply is insufficient, or certain substances such as oxygen free radicals accumulate in the body, which can easily lead to various functional decline. Performing a blood test with a single drop of blood can provide a more accurate understanding of the peripheral blood situation in the human body.
d. Human reflex zone detection. There is also a sub-health detection method in traditional Chinese medicine called human reflex zone detection (including plantar, palm, and ear acupoints), which is suitable for examining any individual and symptoms. When a certain part or organ of a person becomes diseased, the information of the disease is reflected from the relative areas such as the feet, hands, and ears, and can be detected early by detecting the reflex zone.
