How not to go crazy and get to work. We are afraid to spend even a couple of days on sick leave, going to work in any condition, and nervous overloads make us seriously afraid of the development of mental disorders. Thanks to the statistics of appeals kindly provided by the “Medicine for you” service, the editors were able to analyze the most frequent user requests for various medicines, and make a list of the most "popular" diseases of our time.
Today's reality requires people to be active 24 hours a day, 7 days a week; play sports, overcoming natural laziness; to work for wear in an attempt to reach incredible career heights; eat right, excluding fats, “fast” carbohydrates and even meat from the diet; to leave the comfort zone and deny yourself the pleasure of spending several hours in blissfully doing nothing.
This state of affairs formed the “disease map” of our time, noting on it a tendency to nervous and mental disorders, various joint diseases, digestive problems, insomnia and a decrease in immunity. But first things first.
Schizophrenia Prevention
According to statistics provided by the “Medicine for You” service, the top line in the popularity rating among medicines today belongs to drugs for the prevention of schizophrenia. These are antipsychotics, which are prescribed both for exacerbations, and as a preventive support for the disease at any stages.
Today, there is scientific evidence that this mental disorder is hereditary. In other words, the children of the parents of the disease inherit the schizophrenia gene. However, only 15% -40% of gene carriers become ill. Why not all? Because, in addition to the genetic predisposition, there are also external factors that can lead to the development of the disease. Among them, constant stress, nervous overload, and strong negative experiences are noted. In a word, constant companions of life of the modern active person.
Means for the prevention of osteochondrosis
Many mistakenly believe that all kinds of arthrosis, arthritis and osteochondrosis can appear only at an advanced age. In fact, this is not so at all: the disease can develop at any age and cause a lot of trouble to a young and full of energy person.
Osteochondrosis is a complex of disorders in the articular cartilage. Most often, the intervertebral discs and cervical spine suffer from the disease. The reasons for the development of osteochondrosis can be improper postures for sitting or sleeping, which have become habitual, lack of movement or, conversely, excessive physical exertion, obesity, poor nutrition and even stress. For the prevention of the disease, it is recommended that you carefully pay attention to your daily diet, regularly do a light workout, do not overdo the exercises in the gym, and choose comfortable pillows for sleeping. And, of course, less nervous.
Means for the treatment and prevention of gastrointestinal diseases
Every second resident of the country suffers from various digestive problems. No wonder: a modern view of the daily diet suggests either absolute indifference to the quality and quantity of food consumed, or, on the contrary, excessive attention to fashion trends and a blind faith in the magic of vegetarianism or a raw food diet.
The first way of organizing food is fraught with the development of gastritis or even peptic ulcer, because it involves snacks on the run and the consumption of a large amount of junk food. A second look at your own diet, on the one hand, is more healthy, but, on the other hand, is too dependent on modern fashion trends. So, vegetarianism and eating exclusively raw foods can ideally suit the body of one person, but it is easy to disable another. Therefore, it is recommended to proceed not from a general enthusiasm for the fashion trend, but from considerations of one's own well-being.
Remedies for insomnia
Modern young people, and especially residents of the capital, do not chronically get enough sleep. The desire to be in time makes us fill the day with deeds to failure, depriving ourselves of such necessary rest. Such a rhythm of life makes the body work for wear and tear, and when we finally get the happy opportunity to get a good night's sleep, we cannot calm our minds and disconnect from the million things that we have already redone and which we still have to do.
Insomnia is also promoted by the widespread habit of ending the day lying in bed with a smartphone and flipping through an endless news feed. A bright source of light before the eyes at a time when the entire room is plunged into darkness, activates the brain at a time when it should gradually relax and prepare for sleep. Experts recommend several ways to get rid of insomnia: turn off the gadgets an hour before going to bed, tightly curtain the curtains in the bedroom, having previously ventilated the room, and falling asleep not only in the dark, but also in silence - without the usual music for headphones.
Immunity enhancers
Improper diet, lack of healthy vitamins and minerals in the diet, poor ecology and constant stress provoke malfunctions in the immune system. An additional factor is our habit of depriving the body of the ability to independently fight, for example, with influenza or SARS. The desire to remove the unpleasant symptoms of diseases as soon as possible makes us take antibiotics or go to work without treatment. Both that, and another is fraught with weakening of natural immunity, and sometimes serious complications.
Do not rush to the office at the first sign of recovery and, especially, appear in crowded places if you are still seriously ill. Give yourself the opportunity to recover, and your body to cope with the virus or bacterial infection on its own. Only in this case, the immune system will work fine, and you will be sick much less often.
“There is nothing good in forcing your body to work for wear and tear,” says Irina Syrova, head of the “Medicine for You” help desk, “overloading him with physical activity, heavy food, or forcing him to stay awake for more than 16 hours a day.” Analyzing the statistics of our most frequent queries, we can draw definite conclusions: today we do not have enough time to take care of ourselves. We strive to make everything happen, forgetting about the main thing: the most valuable thing we have is health, and it must be protected.
