Many people care about whether they look young or not, but ignore health, which should be from the inside out. Su Baiwen, a psychiatrist at Taoyuan Hospital of the Ministry of Fufu, pointed out that true anti-aging is not only about maintaining a look young, but more importantly, overall care from the inside to the outside, especially the maintenance of mental health.
Chinese culture often makes people feel stressed and unable to release pressure.Su Baiwen said that some people are young and frowning, feeling ten years older than they are in actual age; some people are still full of vitality and enjoy learning new things even when they are old. This difference is not only a problem of physiological aging, but also a matter of the lightness of the mood.
{99}In the past, most people only focused on physical health. In recent years, mental health issues have gradually been paid attention to. President Xi Qingde clearly declared in the Taiwan Health Policy to accelerate the improvement of the psychological integrity of the people. The Ministry of Welfare also promoted the Youth Generation Mental Health Support Plan. The 71 Community Psychological Health Center was established nationwide to help the people adjust their psychological pressure and negative emotions.
However, Su Baiwen bluntly stated that in Chinese culture, people are often taught to "focus on the overall situation". Even if they are full of anxiety and anxiety, they are not sympathetic, and even believe that "homes should not be sluggish outside", which leads to psychological pressure being unable to be released and eventually fall into an isolated and helpless state.
Life lacks stimulation, which makes people tired and degenerates.In the face of the ever-changing living environment, many people hope that a whole lot of things can be risky and unchanged, but the unchanging life lacks external stimulation, which can easily make people feel tired and the world, and even affect the vitality of the brain and accelerate the degeneration of brain function.
To maintain mental health, Su Baiwen suggests relearning expression and establishing new habits. When you feel confused and anxious, you can try to share your feelings with trusted friends or psychological professionals. Not only can you relieve stress, but you can also get different support and suggestions. Interesting activities such as sports, creation, photography, etc. can help relieve inner suffering and fill life with more positive energy.
"Viewing pressure as a challenge, not an obstacle is an important key to keeping your mind young." Su Baiwen said that learning new things can keep your brain flexible, just like the protagonist of the comic Neptune bravely facing the unknown. Even if the process is difficult, you can gain growth and growth from it. Continuously learning new skills, such as learning new languages, instruments, or participating in creative activities, can help maintain brain health and reduce dementia risks.
Absorbing to mobile phones and chasing dramas, sleep disorders also affect mental healthSleep problems are another major challenge for modern people and an important indicator of mental health. Many people are slim and lonely, and are tempted to slide their phones before going to bed, chase dramas, or wait until they are extremely tired before lying in bed. These behaviors may further undermine sleep patterns. Foreign studies have found that confusion and deficiency in sleep may accelerate aging and even trigger chronic inflammation, affecting the immune system and brain health.
Sleeping and getting up at a fixed time every day, avoiding using electronic products before going to bed, reducing indoor lighting and adjusting appropriate temperatures, can all create a suitable sleep environment and improve sleep quality.
Su Baiwen calls out that true anti-aging should be to cultivate both inside and outside, maintain mental health, maintain good sleep habits, continue to learn new things, develop a healthy life habit, and cooperate with regular health checks to make yourself live a healthy life and have a brilliant life. "Create a young mind, enjoy a full life full of vitality, and start with taking good physical and mental health."
Mindfulness Training Cleaning up garbage in the brainExcerpted from / "Life Without Dementia" Expert / Hu Junmei, founder and executive director of the Chinese Mindfulness Reduction Center
Learning mindfulness is learning observation. It is to learn to see it. Observation is to investigate and distinguish clearly, but the target of investigation is not others, but oneself. Learning mindfulness is an initiation that allows us to start to face ourselves with a curious and open attitude. No matter how many years of age comes to learn, they will have interesting experiences to rediscover themselves.
According to a large number of scientific research, mindfulness practice can reduce stress and effectively adjust negative emotions such as anxiety and depression; it can also improve sleep quality, even increase immunity, and reduce inflammation in the body. And these are important front-end factors that affect dementia and no.
The most famous mindfulness training is called "mindfulness-based stress reduction", and it is MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) in English. This is a systematic and scientifically proven training course, developed in hospitals in the United States. The course lasts for eight weeks, taking classes once a week, for two and a half hours each time, plus a one-day stoppage (note: by stopping words, reducing external interference, giving yourself the opportunity to establish more observations) is a total of 30 hours of training.
Mindfulness practice can effectively train us, focus on the real experience of the present, and reduce habitual thoughts. Such training changes the brain structure without knowing it, and changes from a path of confusion in a habitual way to a path of experiencing and observing the present one. Even if the external environment does not change, the pressure we feel can be reduced, cleaning up garbage in the brain, and the risk of dementia will also be reduced.
