For all diseases, whether it is the final recovery or the relief of symptoms, the most fundamental thing is not the doctor's superb medical skills, but everyone's self-healing ability. This is not to say that the role of doctors is not important, but doctors are at most tutors. When they really take the exam, how they perform depends on themselves, right? There is a very representative saying that many doctors cite as their motto, which is: sometimes heal, often help, always comfort. This is the essence of a doctor's work. For example, if you have a cold, you can get better without taking any treatment. When you have a cold, your body temperature rises, which means your immune system is mobilizing resources to fight against invading viruses and bacteria. But if the temperature is too high, it will damage your brain, so you need to cool down physically or take antipyretics. Because you feel uncomfortable with a stuffy and runny nose, you take cold medicine to relieve the symptoms, but the real cure depends on your own self-healing ability. Of course, it doesn't mean that you should just bear it when you have a cold. Drinking more water and resting more when you have a cold is definitely not a comforting statement. Drinking water can replenish the water you lose due to high fever, and at the same time, it can expel the enemies eliminated by the immune system in time. Resting can allow you to use most of your body's energy to deal with invaders, improving efficiency. What does a doctor do? He distinguishes what type of cold you have. Is it viral or bacterial, common cold or influenza? Although they are all colds, the scientific name is upper respiratory tract infection. But the difference is huge. You have to prescribe the right medicine for the right disease. And for some seriously ill patients, you must rely on doctors to buy time for you, save your life first, and then think about the rest. This is what makes doctors great. We must be clear that as long as life exists, genes will continue to be damaged. From the moment we are born, we are on the road to death, but some are faster and some are slower. A key mechanism for the survival of multicellular organisms is repair and compensation. Cells rely on accelerated division to replenish damaged or dead cells, which is repair; immune cells eliminate foreign bodies, which is also repair; cells and organs rely on accelerated work to replace damaged cells or organs to perform functions, which is compensation. Repair and compensation are a kind of wisdom of the human body in response to damage, which is the result of long-term evolution. Unfortunately, many behaviors can affect this key ability. If you are used to smoking, drinking, perming your hair, eating spicy, salty, fresh and hot food, and staying up late at bars to play games, it is fun, but all these money is saved. It will greatly damage your immune system and self-repair ability. Don't have a gambling mentality. Someone has lived for more than 100 years by doing this and that; and someone ran a marathon every day and ended up with cancer... The advice on a healthy lifestyle follows the reliable evidence obtained from the current medical big data, and does not conflict with low-probability events. We must have an investment consciousness to save health for the future. We live in an environment full of viruses and bacteria every day, and our bodies are constantly under attack. Just like a computer firewall, it is always running. So diseases do not occur suddenly, they are just discovered suddenly. |
