In January this year, He Siyuan, a girl who is in her junior year, and her boyfriend Huang Yibo started a trip. Next to the hotel she stayed at was the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shaanxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The two decided to have a "new date".

  "I am preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination. My sleep has not been very good recently. My boyfriend's sleep is also very poor. I heard that Chinese medicine can not only improve sleep problems, but also show how good your physical condition is. We want to go and see it together." When He Siyuan was a child, her parents took her to solve the problem of hyperopia through Chinese medicine, and Huang Yibo tried to see Chinese medicine for the first time. They told reporters that the two of them had their number out of curiosity and under the guidance of the hospital staff, they hung up the pretreatment department.

  Although they all want to solve the problem of poor sleep, the doctor prescribed completely different prescriptions after examination. The doctor explained that the two people have different physical constitutions, and the same problem is caused by different reasons, so the ways to improve are also different.

  The two posted their experience of seeing a Chinese medicine doctor on social media and said, "Traditional medicine is really great. You only need a cup of milk tea to understand your physical condition." Many young people in the comment section @ their friends and replied, "Put the treatment department to be on our date list!"

  What is the cure for the disease

  Ding Yexin is a sophomore and a "health enthusiast". She usually likes moxibustion, Chinese medicine foot soaking, etc. She told the reporter of China Youth Daily and China Youth Network that she had experienced traditional Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis at the intangible cultural heritage market where her school was located. The doctor analyzed her pulse and recommended what type of tea she could drink in daily life. She found it very interesting. She had already heard of the concept of curing premature disease, but she was still confused about going to the hospital to see a Chinese medicine doctor: "Actually, I really want to know more about my physical condition, but I feel that there is no big problem with my body. Can I go to the department for curing premature disease in this way?"

  In recent years, a "Traditional Chinese Medicine fever" has emerged among young people, and the concept of curing premature diseases has gradually become popular. While experiencing the fun of traditional Chinese medicine health care, many young people are still confused: "What is the treatment of premature illness?" For this reason, a reporter from China Youth Daily and China Youth Network interviewed Zhang Jin, director of the Premature Medicine/Physical Examination Center of Xiyuan Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medical Sciences.

  Zhang Jin introduced that the Prevention and Treatment Department is like telling you how to adjust clothes before the weather changes, which can prevent problems from happening. To cure diseases before the disease occurs is to intervene before the disease occurs. It focuses on the health of the person's entire life process, with the purpose of making the body reach its best and fit with the person's age, gender, and physical fitness. Not only does it mean "pricking the disease before it starts", but it also includes "pricking the disease before it starts" during the disease process, and "pricking the disease before it becomes worse" after the disease begins to improve. "We can make a comprehensive judgment and health assessment of individual physical condition through traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis methods and some instruments, and then propose personalized improvement measures for patients based on the needs of them." Zhang Jin said.

  Wang Yizhan, deputy director of the Department of Prevention Treatment of Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, told reporters that in recent years, with the trend of younger diseases, young people's attention to personal health has increased significantly. Compared with other departments in the hospital, the proportion of young patients in the treatment department is higher. Many young people will choose traditional Chinese medicine to regulate their treatment when facing some problems that have not yet developed a disease.

  Wang Yizhan said: "Many young people will take the initiative to conduct regular physical examinations. When the physical examination report shows that some indicators are abnormal but have not yet become a disease state, they do not know how to deal with it. If there is such a problem, you can go to the pretreatment clinic and let the doctor treat the individual's situation."

  "Weight management" is now a hot word on the Internet. On March 21, Xiyuan Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medical Sciences officially opened the "Weight-Metabolic Disease Clinic". The clinic integrates the strength of departments such as the pretreatment/physical examination center, nutrition department, and endocrinology department to provide weight management solutions that meet personal needs for patients with weight management needs.

  Who is suitable for treating premature diseases

  "The first is people with sub-healthy states. For example, blood sugar and blood pressure indicators are on the verge of abnormality, often feel tired and have poor sleep. What we call is a state of desire for disease, which is the state of being about to get sick. We strive to intervene in the budding state of the disease. In addition, people with high-risk chronic diseases: people with family history and bad living habits are more suitable to go to the pretreatment department for examination and conditioning."

  Wang Yizhan also told reporters that treating disease before it is not only preventing it before it is diseased, but also requires preventing disease and curing it after it is cured. People who have been postoperatively or after the disease can also go to the treatment department for rehabilitation.

  For Xu Yi, physical conditioning through traditional Chinese medicine has become her living habit. She just graduated from graduate school last year and thinks she is already a "health expert".

  "I am now used to making Baduan Jin every day, and I will eat different things in accordance with the changes in the seasons, and I will drink some Chinese medicine tea drinks." Xu Yi told reporters that she was in a bad state during the postgraduate entrance examination. With the recommendation of her teacher, she went to the pretreatment department of the local Chinese medicine hospital. The doctor diagnosed her with a "qi deficiency constitution" and suggested that she improve her constitution through traditional Chinese medicine conditioning. After a period of conditioning, Xu Yi found that her mental state and physical condition had improved significantly, which also made her have a strong interest in the concept of traditional Chinese medicine to cure diseases. Xu Yi said that from then on, she learned some basic Chinese medicine health knowledge, and would go to the pretreatment department to conduct physical fitness assessments regularly and adjust the conditioning plan in a timely manner.

  Zhang Jin said that more and more young people are paying attention to not only the treatment of disease, but also the long-term management of health. The Prevention and Treatment Department can help everyone to effectively intervene before the disease occurs and improve their quality of life through physical identification, personalized conditioning plans and traditional Chinese medicine special treatments.

  Choose a personalized "health prescription"

  In recent years, with the improvement of public health awareness, the Internet is full of various health care methods, from diet therapy to exercise, from massage to moxibustion, "health care secrets" can be seen everywhere. However, how do you determine whether these methods are suitable for you?

  Zhang Jin said that for people with different physiques, the appropriate health care methods are also different. Even if different people have the same problems in their bodies, the reasons may be different, and they cannot blindly adopt the same method for conditioning.

  Xu Yi has a deep understanding of this. During the postgraduate entrance examination, she and her roommates had sleep problems. My roommate improved greatly by drinking Chinese medicine, so he recommended his prescription to Xu Yi. However, after Xu Yi tried it, his sleep problem was not solved, but instead he felt even more tired. Later, I came to see the doctor and found out that Xu Yi's roommate's sleep problems were caused by excessive liver fire, while Xu Yi was caused by insufficient qi and blood, so he naturally could not use the same prescription.

  Zhang Jin said that when adopting personalized health care methods, you must first have some understanding of yourself; secondly, when facing a variety of health care recommendations, you should also have a certain ability to distinguish and "know yourself and your enemy" in order to truly achieve the goal of health care.

  Wang Yizhan told China Youth Daily and China Youth Network reporters that the health care methods that should be adopted for people of different age groups are also different: "Our concept of curing precautions is to make people less sick, get sick late, and avoid serious illness. The focus of health care for middle-aged and elderly people is to prevent aging and manage chronic diseases, while the youth group should alleviate stress on the basis of consolidating the foundation and protect their health for a long time."

  Long-term health requires good habits

  Zhang Jin explained that the focus of curing premature illness is to let people understand their own physical condition and then make targeted adjustments. If you want to keep your body healthy for a long time, you still need to rely on adjustments from your own habits.

  While young people are gradually increasing their health awareness, they also have some common misunderstandings. Wang Yizhan told reporters that during the clinical diagnosis and examination, some young people said that they would take some health supplements while staying up all night. In fact, such behavior cannot offset the harm caused by bad living habits to health. In the long run, it will slowly consume the healthy stock; some young people also require doctors to prescribe more medicines when visiting the doctor, hoping to improve their health at one time, but maintaining health cannot be achieved overnight. The concept of traditional Chinese medicine in curing diseases should be integrated into people's daily lives.
