What is sub-health?

We usually say that we are suffering from a disease, but in ancient times "疾" and "病" had different meanings. "Disease" refers to a minor illness that is not easy to detect. If effective measures are not taken, it will develop to a visible level and be called a "disease." This diseased state is called "sub-health" or "the third state" in modern science, and "pre-illness" in traditional Chinese medicine.

Sub-health refers to a state that is neither sick nor healthy. It is a kind of inferior health state (sub means inferior), a state between health and disease, so it is also called "sub-health", "third state", "intermediate state", "free (migrating) state", "gray state" and so on. It is a state of low physiological function between disease and health. Sub-health state is also an early symptom of many diseases, such as hepatitis, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, metabolic diseases, etc. Sub-healthy people generally have six highs and one low, namely high workload (mental and physical), high blood pressure, high blood lipids, high blood sugar, high weight, and low immune function.

Symptoms of sub-health

If you experience a burning pain in your throat, which is especially severe when you eat, and not only do you have difficulty speaking but people also notice that your voice is a little hoarse, then you must be tired. 90% of sore throats originate from an infection of the tissues of the throat, often a viral infection. When you are tired, the body's cellular immune function is weakened, and the cytokines in the blood mistakenly accept the virus, causing infection in the throat, the organ closest to the outside world. Of course, the dry environment, excessive use of the voice and smoking also played a negative role in contributing to the situation.

If you feel your neck and shoulders are stiff, and your head remains in one position and dares not move, like a robot, this means that your cervical spine is severely overworked. The cervical vertebrae, ligaments and muscles form a stable structure. If you maintain the same posture for a long time, the cervical vertebrae will degenerate, the ligaments will loosen, and the muscles will spasm, causing cervical fatigue, which will radiate to the shoulders and neck, causing stiffness and numbness.
