Feel tired lately? Has the doctor said he can't find, even with the most advanced equipment, anything
wrong with you?
Then consider this, you might be in a state of sub-health. Sub-health, also called the third state, is
explained as a borderline state between health and disease. This is believed to be caused by the stress people
have in their everyday lives.
According to a survey by the World Health Organization, over 45 percent of sub-healthy people are
middle-aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as
well as students at exam-time.
Symptoms (症状) include a lack of energy, depression, slow reaction, insomnia (失眠),nervous, poor
memory, or sometimes shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs.
Medical experts are offering some advice to reduce pains. They consider the key to preventing and
recovering from sub-health is to form good living habits, exercise regularly, and take part in open air
activities.
As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should also eat more fresh vegetables,
fruits, and fish, as they are rich in vitamins and are important to the body. They also say that a balanced diet
is very helpful in avoiding sub-health.
Anyhow, work is not all of the life. Your life and work are an entire whole. Satisfy your needs, create
calmness in your day and renew your spirit. You will find that focusing on forming more balance in your life
can help your work improve, You will be more relaxed, better able to focus and better able to produce high
quality work.
