College student health improvement
In recent years, the issue of improving the physical fitness of college students in China has garnered high attention from various sectors of society. The education sector has also been continuously strengthening research on the health issues of college students.
All activities of the human body can be classified into two types: “nurture” and “use.” Here, “use” refers to the process of using and consuming the body’s organs (including energy-consuming activities such as work, labor, and exercise).
“Nurture” refers to the process of tissue repair and energy replenishment after consumption. All life activities progress and develop through the continuous transformation between “nurture” and “use.” Whether it is mental and physical activities, exercise, nutrition, or daily routines, they can all be classified as either “nurture” or “use,” and together they form a dynamic pairing.
In various measures to improve the physical and mental health of college students, if we can handle the relationship between “nurture” and “use” based on individual circumstances, we can often achieve twice the result with half the effort.
To teach college students to balance the relationship between “nurture” and “use” and to establish a complete concept of “dynamic health maintenance,” the following points should be made clear:
First
we must be cautious of the potential harm caused by an imbalance between “nurture” and “use.” “More use requires more nurture, less use requires less nurture,” “nurture cannot be separated from use, and use cannot be separated from nurture.” When one aspect changes, the other must respond appropriately and promptly to maintain the body’s dynamic balance. It is easy to understand that after hard work, timely nurturing and sufficient consumption of thermal energy can solve many health issues faced by college students.
Second
in daily routines and labor, we should use a dynamic perspective to grasp the rhythm of various activities, continuously improving the body’s adaptability to ultimately enhance physical fitness and the quality of health maintenance. When fatigued from work, paying attention to getting enough sleep for full recovery; when needing to stay up late, adjusting the diet to “consume more rich foods to nurture the yin,” and so on.
Grasping the rhythm of daily life can not only improve our ability to cope with various changes in labor but also reduce the multiple harms of “sleep disturbances” to the body.
Third
regardless of the physical constitution of the students, they should pay attention to “being cautious about their strengths and aware of their weaknesses, leveraging strengths and avoiding weaknesses.” Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, including in physical fitness.
In daily study and work, only by focusing on one’s strengths while appropriately compensating for one’s shortcomings can long-term health be maintained. Traditional Chinese medicine theory holds that those with strong liver and kidney functions often excel in detailed thinking and planning (the liver governs planning, the kidney governs skill); while those with strong heart and lung functions often excel in writing and creativity.
Therefore, students focusing on science and engineering should pay attention to nurturing the liver and kidneys; teachers and students engaged in writing should focus on nurturing the heart and lungs. Once the habit of seeking optimal nurturing effects based on the nature of work is formed, it can bring higher efficiency to the study and research of college students.
“Those who use well thrive, and those who nurture well endure.” If college students can learn to timely regulate the rhythm of changes between nurture and use and grasp the concept of dynamic health maintenance, thereby achieving the state of “proper use and proper nurture, with nurture and use blending harmoniously,” it will not be difficult to maintain physical and mental health and work capacity, enjoying an efficient life and long-term health.
