The term "crispy young man" has become popular from last year to now, and many young people share their "crispy" experiences online: trotting to get takeout, but as a result, their legs cramp; stretched out, but his neck was twisted; Yawned, and his jaw was dislocated, ......
After combing through the news related to "crispy young man", the reporter found that the source of the word's concern was that the emergency department of a hospital in Zhengzhou admitted more than 1,700 young people aged 18-25 in a month, with trauma, abdominal pain, chest tightness, hyperventilation syndrome, etc.
When young people are laughing at themselves for being "crispy", they are actually expressing a concern for their own health. At this year's National People's Congress and the National People's Congress, many deputies and members also expressed their concern for the health of young people, and brought relevant proposals and suggestions to this end.
"Brittle" in the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular, cervical spine and psychological
Yao Weihai, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), is the director of the emergency department of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and has been working in the emergency department for 36 years. When asked about the young patients who were impressed, the first thing he thought of was the cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction patients in their thirties and forties, some of whom stood up to pick up something during the meal, suddenly fell down and never woke up, and some of them were in the mood for drinking, and suddenly had chest pain and were rushed to the hospital for ......
The trend of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases at a younger age does exist. In 2023, at a press conference held by the National Health Commission, Hu Shengshou, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, director of the National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases, and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, once said: "Putting aside some cases of sudden death, we found that in the investigation of patients with acute myocardial infarction and stroke, their age of first onset has declined. ”
Some patients who came to the hospital repeatedly left a deep impression on Yao Weihai. These patients often have symptoms such as chest tightness, palpitation, sweating, etc., which look like heart diseases, but they cannot be detected**. After investigation, it was found that these patients often have psychological diseases, and physical discomfort is a somatic manifestation of mental illness.
Yao's discovery is not an isolated case. Zhong Can, deputy to the National People's Congress, director of the outpatient department and chief physician of the Red Cross Hospital of Wuzhou City, Guangxi, met many patients with different clinical symptoms caused by mental health problems in the general practice outpatient clinic. In addition to symptoms such as chest tightness, palpitation, and sweating, Zhong Can said that there are also clinical symptoms such as nausea and vomiting related to gastrointestinal diseases.
Interestingly, many of these patients are adolescents. The more common problems in these young patients are gastrointestinal diseases and cervical spondylosis. In addition to mental illness, irregular diet can also cause excessive gastric acid secretion, affect gastric motility, and then change the normal digestion and absorption function of the stomach and intestines.
Cervical spondylosis is also a common disease of young patients in Zhong Can's outpatient clinic, headache, neck pain, dizziness, insomnia are common symptoms of these patients, fatigue or anxiety can induce or aggravate these symptoms, Zhong Can remembers, the most typical is a male patient in his 30s, who has been sitting in front of the computer during the day at work, and playing computer games and looking at mobile phones when he returns home at night. After receiving the consultation, Zhong Can patiently communicated with the patient and his family, did not prescribe medicine to the patient, and asked him to reduce the use of computers and mobile phones under the supervision of his family, and after a period of time, the symptoms were significantly alleviated.
Help young people not to be "crispy".
Talking about the reason for the "crispy skin" of young people, Hu Shengshou pointed out that in recent years, the proportion of whole grains and legumes in the diet of Chinese residents has continued to decline, while the proportion of fat intake and energy supply has been rising. At the same time, residents are not actively exercising as a whole, the proportion of sedentary time at work is increasing, and the level of physical activity has a significant downward trend. In addition, young people face the problem of high psychological stress and lack of sleep.
In response to the above reasons, many experts have advocated that young people should change their lifestyle habits and improve their physical fitness through healthy diet and increased exercise. However, it is not possible to rely only on their personal self-discipline to make young people not "crispy", and a number of deputies and committee members have also put forward relevant suggestions from the national policy level.
Wang Daowen, a deputy to the National People's Congress and chief physician of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine of Tongji Hospital, suggested that laws and regulations on the prevention and control of hypertension should be established and more powerful measures should be taken to promote this work.
In his clinical work, Wang Daowen encountered many patients with high blood pressure, who refused to take antihypertensive drugs and turned to some home remedies under the guise of traditional Chinese medicine, such as eating half a catty of "wild celery" every day. This not only delays the prevention and control of high blood pressure, but also may cause other health threats to the body.
The reporter noticed that now more and more young people are becoming "Chinese medicine fans". The massage department is crowded with young people, and the Chinese medicine pharmacy with sour plum soup and other phenomena once became popular on the Internet.
"Punch the place where the cow is lying down", Yao Weihai said, Baduanjin is a very accessible method of exercise and health preservation in traditional Chinese medicine, as long as there is a place where the cow is lying, you can exercise. In addition, Wufowl Opera and Tai Chi are also loved by many young people.
Lu Wang, a student at Bohai University, said that many young people around him like to use traditional Chinese medicine techniques such as scraping, acupuncture, and moxibustion to regulate their bodies, and they also like to use methods such as soaking wolfberries in a thermos cup and cola and codonopsis to "punk health". In Lu Wang's view, "crispy young man" is like a kind of self-deprecation that can resonate with young people.
As Zhang Boli, a deputy to the National People's Congress and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, pointed out in this year's proposal, the current Chinese people have shifted from meeting the traditional health needs of food, clothing, and disease to multi-level, diversified and life-cycle health services such as disease prevention, health care and longevity. Medicine and food homologous health food is an important part of China's traditional medicine culture, an important material basis for the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases and the advancement of health management, and an important content to give full play to the essence of traditional Chinese medicine inheritance, integrity and innovation.
Zhang Boli suggested that the "negative list" management should be implemented for the medicine and food homology health food, and the negative list that cannot be used as the medicine and food homology health food should be clearly listed, and the investigation, analysis and evaluation of the literature, clinical and social application of the medicine and food homology health food should be strengthened.
Different from the "negative list" management, Yao Weihai focused on the "positive inheritance" of traditional Chinese medicine culture this year. In his proposal, he suggested that the top-level design of "bringing Chinese medicine culture into the campus" should be done well, and on the basis of not increasing the burden of students' homework, the organic integration of Chinese medicine knowledge and existing courses should be realized, and young people should be educated to learn the preventive methods of traditional Chinese medicine, so as to enhance their interest in Chinese medicine culture and let Chinese medicine culture and education reach a new level.
In view of the mental health problems that are not uncommon among young people, Zhong Can believes that mental health intervention should be carried out at the adolescent stage, and she suggested that a complete adolescent psychological service system should be gradually built, and the Ministry of Education should take the lead in setting up the "National Adolescent Mental Health Education Center", and cooperate with the newly established "National Mental Health and Mental Health Prevention and Control Center" of the National Health Commission to build a psychological service system framework for primary and secondary school students.
As Zhong Can wrote in her proposal: "How to improve the level of early intervention of adolescent mental illness has become an important topic that cannot be ignored in the development of today's society." ”
