What is Sub-Health Status?
According to research, due to factors such as work stress, fast pace of life, and irregular diet, over 50% of the population is in a state of "sub-health". Currently, "sub-health" has quietly become one of the important risk factors that harm people's physical and mental health and affect social stability. The so-called "sub-health state" is named "the third state" by the World Health Organization, which refers to a state in which the body has no organic diseases but has some functional changes. In China, it is referred to as "sub-health state".
Several manifestations of sub-health include:
1. Functional changes rather than organic diseases;
2. Physical signs that cannot be detected by existing medical technologies;
3. Poor quality of life, long-term low level of health;
4. Pathological signs outside the area affected by chronic diseases.
Groups of people who often experience sub-health:
1. People with excessive mental burden;
2. People engaged in intense mental labor;
3. People with heavy physical labor;
4. People with tense interpersonal relationships and heavy burdens;
5. People engaged in simple and mechanized work for a long time (lack of external communication and stimulation);
6. People with high levels of stress;
7. People with irregular lifestyles;
8. People with unbalanced diets, smoking, and excessive drinking.
