When reason conflicts with emotion, it is important to be adept at being reasonable and understanding, finding a balance between logic and emotions, and maintaining a good psychological state in order to achieve mental health.
A healthy body and a good psychological state are the guarantee of career success and family happiness. Adults are the backbone of society and the pillars of their families. They have to make contributions in their work, interact with people around them, and fulfill their responsibilities of respecting the elderly and nurturing the young at home.
The conflicts in social roles make this group of people exert a lot of physical and mental effort. In addition to the high work pressure and unhealthy lifestyle, their mental and physical health is seriously compromised. Therefore, by properly arranging work, life, learning, and exercise and striving to overcome emotional unhappiness, one can effectively maintain mental and physical health and avoid becoming part of high-risk groups for various acute and chronic diseases.
People in middle age should pay attention to self-care and consider a healthy body as their own wealth. They should take double responsibility and protect their physical and mental health.
Firstly, it is important to pay attention to health and actively cope with stress by slowing down the pace of life or changing one's lifestyle. Engaging in relaxing outdoor activities or pursuing one's interests can help reduce stress, relax the mind and body, and prevent physical and mental illnesses.
Secondly, it is necessary to be rational and control emotions. When reason conflicts with emotion, it is important to be adept at being reasonable and understanding, finding a balance between logic and emotions, and maintaining a good psychological state. Being content and satisfied can help maintain mental health.
Furthermore, it is important to use the brain scientifically and practice good brain hygiene, minimizing brain exertion while maximizing its effectiveness. Middle-aged people bear the dual roles of society and family, and whether they are engaged in physical or mental labor, they have many tasks that require brain usage. Therefore, paying attention to brain hygiene can help maximize brain function.
In addition, it is important to engage in regular exercise. Exercise can store vitality, maintain vigorous work energy and capacity, improve respiratory function, enhance heart contraction, accelerate blood circulation, strengthen muscles and bones, and delay aging.
In summary, maintaining physical and mental health requires striving for "three balances": the balance between consumption and supply, the balance between sleep and wakefulness, and the balance between mind and body.
For middle-aged women, proper control of food intake is necessary. If eating is improper and physical activity is reduced, it is easy to develop obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, and other conditions. Maintaining a balance between consumption and supply requires adequate intake of high-quality proteins such as dairy products, fish, lean meat, eggs, and soy products to maintain cell function and repair tissues in the body.
Vegetables, fruits, and grains are rich in minerals and vitamins, which can keep the body energetic and prevent constipation. Increasing calcium intake can effectively prevent osteoporosis. In addition, after intense labor, sufficient sleep should be ensured. 6-8 hours of quiet sleep every night can maintain the balance between sleep and wakefulness. Adjusting through mental labor when the body is fatigued and engaging in physical activities to regulate mental fatigue can help maintain the balance between mind and body.
Middle-aged women should adhere to aerobic exercise, and when exercising, they should:
1. Gradually increase the amount of exercise, ensuring that speed and intensity are appropriate;
2. Avoid excessive exercise and exercise until fatigue is felt;
3. If overweight, have a family history of cardiovascular diseases, or have sedentary work, it is advisable to undergo a health check and exercise according to a prescribed exercise plan.
