Personality, character in broad sense, includes temperament, quality, ability, aura, hobbies, etc. Modern science finds personality is closely related to health. This article is a brief discussion of this relationship. 9hz7drhR;\
Scientists discover that people with a competitive, quick temperament are likely to have cardiovascular diseases and those often pressing their anger are susceptible to hypertension, whereas some other people might suffer from ulcers. Simply speaking, people of different personalities are susceptible to different diseases. D7Rbho<
Scientists also think that despite that genetic qualities form the basis of personality, the development of personality usually depends on later environment and education. Some inherently outward people might become introvert and depressed due to some strong excitement or defeats, or vice versa. 1xFhhncf
Actually, personality and health affect each other greatly. A healthy, cheerful and optimistic personality is good to health while a weak, pessimistic one might influence one’s personality. n@yd{Rc
In conclusion, as personality and health are closely related to each other, we should try to improve our personality to be a cheerful, optimistic and healthy one if we want to enjoy a better health. % @^VrhS

Behavioral Prescription, a new drug {?h6*>-^Z
It is said that one’s happiness is determined by his physical and psychological fitness. One’s state of mind or mood can be regulated/readjusted by bodily behaviors as some experts point out. This is called “behavioral prescription”, which involves laughter, crying, sports, dancing and singing. Here is a discussion of this prescription. !513rNO
The method has been proved by modern science to be effective. It is found that crying can reduce psychological stress as it releases some harmful chemicals from the body. On the other hand, laughter can improve one’s immunity by increasing a favorable chemical in the body. Besides, when laughing, muscles in our internal organs move more actively. Scientists also find that dancing and gymnastic exercises can be more effective for some chronic diseases of the aged than medicinal therapy. The crazy stress from life and work of today can cause some psychologically abnormal behaviors and symptoms, which, can also be relieved by following behavioral prescription instead of instruments or medicine.

To conclude, behavioral prescription, a new medical concept, is more and more popular with both doctors and patients and will have a brighter future. `P)64So-1

There has been a [psychological phenomenon almost everyone has had. It is called “conformity complex”. This article is a discussion of it BYA=M*f
What is conformity complex then? It occurs when one is affected so much by others or peers that he gives up his own idea or opinion and conforms to other’ idea or behavior. People tend to do so when pressed by others. For example, it is easy to change one’s mind when shopping with friends or companions. The complex can be divided into two kinds: conformity to what others think and say, and the other is following suit. But both are somewhat blind. Here is an example. Once, one or two persons began to run for some reason of their own. Before long, others began to follow them and ran. Onlookers didn’t know what happened but they too began to run in the end, resulting in a running crowd. ,y{fqa4
In a word, conformity complex is an act of following suit blindly and without independent thinking. It has both negative and positive sides of its own. If we can overcome its negative aspect and rationally utilize its positive aspect, we can improve our social morale and customs for better social order. sO f)/19

What should we be cautious about after SARS 1>O0Iu
With the SARS epidemic ebbing, people are becoming less afraid of it. However, isn’t there anything we should be cautious about to prevent crisis like this? An expert with Peking University pointed out that there are many diehard unhealthy habits we should get rid of for this purpose. \2LA%ZU
First, get rid of our stubborn unhealthy habits. For example, we should learn to wash hands after going to restroom, shopping, counting money, etc. At dinner, we should have a separate portion of food instead of sharing from common dishes to avoid contacting each other’s saliva. We should protect wild animals rather than eat them. A lesson from the SARS is that abuse of wild animals may result in human contraction of bacteria or viruses from wild animals. "N[gMp6U
Second, public healthy morality and ethics should be strongly advocated. People should refrain from smoking in public, littering, spitting, etc. SARS epidemic indicates that insecurity in public health has endangered our health and life. B'#gs'fl
Third, health education should be promoted on a large scale, especially among farmers. It can distribute health knowledge, help improve the population’s physical constitution and help prevent diseases and especially infectious diseases by strengthening cooperation between health educational agencies and hospitals. <pa];k(IQL
Conclusively, it is urgent that we get rid of our old and bad sanitary habits and form new and healthy habits to prevent the spreading of infectious disease like SARS. HpgN$$\@

Since 1960s, despite rapid advances in medical therapies and technologies, man’s total death rate hasn’t decreased/dropped. Instead, it has somehow risen. Researchers think this is due to our bad/unhealthy life style. #$
raUNr
Studies found that bad life style includes habits such as smoking, drinking, drug abuse, overeating, etc. deaths caused by diseases related to these habits account for 48% of all the deaths. Therefore, it is very important to live in a healthy manner/style/way. Besides, self-health-care, health education, etc. should be promoted all over the country. 3kzG L
There is one mistaken idea among people about medical care. That is the over-dependence on doctors for people’s health while ignoring their own role in healthcare. ~'YSVx& )
In conclusion, in this age of life style, people should depend more on themselves, a healthy life style and self-healthcare than on doctors for a long, happy and healthy life. Yv`1ySR

It has long been discovered that colors can affect mental and physical health of human beings and have some curative effects on diseases. Medical experts have long been trying to use colors in clinical treatment and have made some remarkable progress. 1PjX:]:
Modern scientists have revealed that colors can affect human beings psychologically, physiologically, chemically and physically. For example, the color blue can have a calming/sedating effect, and orange, a warm color, a pleasing effect. More importantly, green is good for the nerves of the eye. It can also be used to lower one’s skin temperature, slow down heartbeat and blood circulation, to name just a few. Some doctors have applied white to lower/decrease blood pressure, and amber to create an ideal curative environment for patients with mental disorder, and brown to help post-operative patients heal/recover more quickly. b|pNc'u:Cn

In this essay, the importance of humanistic spirit to community health service is discussed. A humanistic and patient-oriented rather than doctor-oriented approach should be adopted by community health service, general practitioners and hospitals, which can help improve their medical service quality. T)?@E/VaS
Actually, all the health-care reforms should also be carried out in the holistic, social and humanistic way of community health service. Doctors and general practitioners should not de-individualize their relationship with patients. Instead, they should take their patients as individual human beings rather than objects, showing real concern and responsibility. In this way, some common mistakes made by doctors could have been avoided. In fact, some diseases can be treated by doctors’ heartfelt and human concern instead of nonchalantly prescribed medication. In this aspect, general practitioners in Japan and the United States have set a good example of real concern over their patients. Their painstaking effort has brought about remarkable drop in disease mortality, incidence of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases, etc. }jy7,+
To be short, a humanistic spirit should be carried out throughout medical education and community health-care system. In this way, we can cure not only bodily defects but also mental and behavioral disorders and thus eventually improve people’s health to a greater extent. #T#FUI1p

Aging usually brings about many functional recessions such as indigestion, hypertension, arteriosclerosis and other metabolic dysfunctions. However, scientists find that these hypofunctions are actually caused by irrational diets or eating habits. This article discusses this problem and solution to it. D}=i

First, balanced diet with more vegetables than animal food is especially good for the old people. Second, ess staple food and less salt in food should be suggested for the aged because over-consumption of these two can lead to cardiovascular diseases. Third, more bean food can replace proteins such as eggs and fat as sources of protein. Fourth, light food should be taken in instead of fat and oily foods which usually contribute to cardiovascular diseases. Finally, doctors always advise people eat more fruit to regulate their digestion, metabolism and cardiovascular balance. cF6@.)

Do you know that sound, light and colors affect us emotionally? They do, health experts say. ]-]@=qYu
First, sound affects us. Long presence in a soundless environment causes gloom, depression, and dysphoria whereas a noisy and raucous environment causes stress, frustration and anxiety. Melodious and beautiful music calm and relax upset patients, especially pregnant women and joyous and exciting music cheer up gloomy patients. JC-yiORVr
Second, light affects us too. Dim light causes cachexia and absent-mindedness. In winter, with short daylight, it is easy to become dispirited and absent-minded. A survey found that traffic accidents happen more frequently between 6 and 8pm than in other parts of the day, probably because the dim illumination distracts people. In bright light, people tend to be concentrated, cheerful and thus less accident happens.

Third, so does color. Red excites people, blue calms, black displeases and threatens. A bridge in London used to claim many people killing themselves by jumping from it. After an investigation, a scientist thought the black color of the bridge was to blame. But his advice was ignored until ten years later when government painted the bridge blue. Miracle happened. The number of suicides on it promptly dropped by 56.4%. t z>X'L
