Young people in their twenties are in the prime of life. How can they get chronic diseases? If you leave this question to doctors, most of the answers will point to the changes in the lifestyle of contemporary young people.

As more and more young people are obsessed with chronic diseases, how to save themselves and get rid of chronic diseases has become a new problem for young people.

Some young people started"Punk health care", beer with wolfberry, cola with codonopsis pilosula, smoke with a throat piece, drink salt water after crying, hot pot barbecue with herbal tea, stay up the latest night, use the most expensive skin care products, drink the strongest wine, take the most expensive ambulance

Some young people began to try to change their lifestyle, such as changing the habit of staying up late, turning off the computer early in the evening, turning the cell phone rest screen into silent mode, cultivating sleepiness in bed, and striving for a good sleep.

As people's lives are filled with more and more electronic products, such as mobile phones and computers, especially during the epidemic, many students have online classes at home, and electronic products are used more frequently. However, playing with mobile phones for a long time and sitting for a long time do great harm to the cervical spine, which will lead to the deterioration of the cervical spine and make more and more teenagers and even children suffer from cervical spondylosis.

In addition, China's teenagers and children are seriously lack of exercise. According to a survey, most primary and secondary school students lack physical activity every dayOne hour, which has led to an increase in the rate of overweight and obesity in adolescents and children year by year, providing a hotbed for the development of chronic diseases in adolescents and children.

According to the survey data, the number of cardiovascular patients in China is about290 million, of which adolescent patients with cardiovascular disease should not be ignored. According to other data, the prevalence of hypertension in children in China is about 14.5%, and it tends to increase with age.

With the improvement of living conditions, lifestyle changes and the improvement of life expectancy per capita, chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension have become a problem that puzzles the health of Chinese people. Due to the lack of health concepts and chronic disease management, most chronic patients, especially young people, did not pay attention at the initial stage of illness, and delayed for various reasons, leading to increasingly serious illness, even serious complications.

For young people, early prevention of chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes is even more important than treatment.
