Disease is understood as a violation of vital functions, a decrease in life expectancy, work capacity, social functions and adaptability under the influence of pathogenic factors. To fight disease, there are general rules that allow you to recover faster or not get sick at all. They can be divided into, in fact, the treatment of the underlying disease, the prevention of possible complications and general health improvement measures.
Instructions
Step 1
Refuse self-medication, see a doctor. First, any disease requires the participation of a specialist. Most people tend to think that they know their own body better. This is true in terms of sensations. Who else, if not a patient, knows what he feels? But otherwise, a person cannot cope with serious illnesses without knowledge of treatment. After all, it never occurs to anyone to disassemble a nuclear reactor, just because it seems to him that he knows how it works. The consequences of self-medication sometimes lead to "nuclear" disasters, but there is only one person in the world, not the whole planet. Having received medical care and following the doctor's recommendations, you can, if not recover completely, then at least go into a state of "no exacerbation" in the case of chronic disease.
Step 2
Prevent complications. Many diseases that are not dangerous in themselves can cause formidable complications (from a banal runny nose, in the absence of treatment and the presence of reduced immunity, it is relatively easy to go to meningitis). Therefore, early, correct treatment can prevent even greater health problems.
Step 3
Give up addictions. Much is written, talked about, programs and films are shot, and still a third of Russians smoke, the number of alcohol abusers is also off scale, and drug use does not lag behind other bad habits. Avoiding this kind of abuse prolongs life and prevents an impressive list of fatal diseases.
Step 4
Build healthy habits. Exercise, sleep at least eight hours a day, avoid stress, keep fit and your body will be in good shape. The main thing is to do it with pleasure and observe the measure. If you are a chronic person with cystitis or pyelonephritis, cold douches will not be helpful at all. If you are a night owl, you are unlikely to enjoy your morning run. Building muscle with anabolic steroids is also not a health-promoting exercise. When choosing an occupation for yourself, take into account your inclinations, do not impose unnecessary on the body, do not overdo it, but do not give yourself a descent either.
