The orchids on the next picture have different body constitution, right?
Many carps, they live in almost the same condition, have different body constitution because their size, color, the quantity of food each of them ate, and the size of visceral are different, so that, they have different body constitution, right?
Many carps, they live in almost the same condition.
The key point of these problems is: what is the definition of body constitution.
1. Healthy Body Constitution is Almost the Same for Everyone.
The definition of body constitution:
A group of cells, almost with the same genes, are derived from a fertilized egg. They are based on genetic instructions from genes to contribute to their respective functions. Under the management of the Central Nervous System, they are combined to a whole capacity to cope with the changes in the living environment and to present their quality.
This means that this group of cells should be derived from a fertilized egg cell. They have been growing and increasing until becoming a group of cells about 60 trillion. They are called a man instead of a group of cells because they collectively live together. All cells will contribute their respective functions, which based on their genes, and, under the management of the Central Nervous System, they combine to six kinds of ability to cope with environmental changes. The man has a good body constitution if the six kinds of abilities can cope with environmental changes well. Otherwise, the man has a bad body constitution if the six kinds of abilities can't adequately cope with environmental changes.
2. Six Kinds of Ability of Healthy Body Constitution
A good body constitution is bred three abilities in the womb. They are.....
Nutrition Conversion Ability
Self-Regeneration Ability
Environmental Balance Ability
According to the operation of genes, the baby produces another 3 abilities when it was born and contacted with a living environment. They are...
the ability of adaption the environment
the ability of resistance aging
the ability of resistance disease
The body copes with environmental changes that are not using a good liver function, good renal function, or good voiding function directly. But, the body uses 6 kinds of abilities, mixed with some organs and systems' function, to cope with his living environmental changes.
"Nutrition conversion ability" means that the body grabs foods and oxygen from the living environment and discharges waste.
"Environmental Balance ability" means that the body does not change with the environment (such as eating, exercising, or weather changes). The body always keeps his physiological substances in a "dynamic equilibrium" condition.
These six abilities primarily mean that the body builds peaceful coexistence with the environment and overcome the harsh environment and survival.
3. Adjustment Pathological Changes
When the living environment is abnormal that will cause "adjustment pathological changes".
A high school principal, about 55 years old, talked about his hypertension history. He said "I was hypertension about 7 years, took chemical drugs to descend blood pressure for 7 years and to descend blood sugar for 2 years. Earlier this year, my school handle staff health examination. My test result showed that there are lots of gallstones crowed in my gall. The physician suggested that cholecystectomy surgery would suit me. After surgery removed my gallbladder, it's amazing for me that my hypertension disappeared."
When the gall is packed with gallstones, the blood circulation of gallbladder tissue is hindered. The way to cope with the abnormal living environment in his body is increasing blood pressure to increase the blood circulation of the squeezed tissue and to save its life and function. So, he got hypertension.
A chronic disease may separate into "primary diseases" and "secondary diseases." In this book, based on the principle of Environmental Balance Ability, secondary disease are called "Adjustment Pathological Changes" to explain and predict the causal relationship between pathological changes.
4. Self-Regeneration Ability
The baby drinks breast milk from birth and keeps on growing. He grows and develops stably until about 18 years old. He is not growing on out-looking. But, in fact, the cell of his body keeps dying and renewing besides brain cells and heart cells. such as...
Major vascular intimal cells renew every 180 days.
Liver cells renew every 120-150 days.
Red cells renew every 100-120 days.
Brain cells do not renew but produce 0.5-liter cerebrospinal fluid
every day.
Skin cells renew a layer every 20-30 days.
Blood platelets renew every 10 days.
Cortical cells within the digestive system renew every 3 days.
Women endometrium renews every month...
Albumin, white cells, tracheal mucosa, hormonal substances, and neurotransmitters have a useful life and needed to consumed and renewed.
β cells in the pancreas renew 0.5% every day. And, the body will proliferate more β cells if the body needs to secrete more insulin just like type 2 diabetes.
When the body, except brain cells, was slightly damaged, the cells will adequately self-regenerate and heal.
Self-Regeneration Ability can maintain good health, adapt and survive in the environment. It is a very important ability for us.
5. Normal Flora
There are lots of various bacteria living in the parts contacted with the outside of our body.
They may be good bacteria or bad bacteria for us.
Some of them may appear good effects when the host is healthy. Otherwise, they appear bad effects when the host is unhealthy. They are called watching bacteria (opportunistic bacteria). All of these are called Normal Flora. Such as...
On skin: There are staphylococcus, Propionibacteria, Corynebacteria, Streptococcus, etc. And Staphylococcus aureus is 1,000～10,000 per square centimeter on skin. Recent studies have found that there are about 1,000 kinds of harmless bacteria on human skin.
On throat: streptococcus viridans, pyesis streptococcus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria, Staphylococcus epidermidis, etc.
On gingiva: Bacteroides, Clostridium, Israel actinomycetes, Dental plaque bacteria etc.
Others: There is Normal Flora on the surface of the small intestine, large intestine, trachea, vagina, etc.
Normal Flora can help us to maintain good health, to adapt and to survive in the environment. It is a very important part of us.
6. Nine Functions of Intestinal Flora
Intestinal flora, a kind of normal flora, is the most important bacteria for our body. There are about 300-600 trillion intestinal bacteria for healthy adults. And, in estimating, there are about over 3,000 species of bacteria. Their 9 kinds of function contributed to our health have been confirmed as follows.
They are helpful to digestion and absorption and making the body have sufficient nutrition.
They can inhibit the proliferation of intestinal pathogens and harmful bacteria, and prevent infectious disease.
They promote the activities of the immune system and maintain body health.
They promote to decompose and excrete harmful substances and carcinogenic substances.
They are helpful to intestinal pH stable and promote Intestinal peristalsis.
They improve lipid metabolism and prevent vascular aging and hypertension disease.
They improve metabolism of carbohydrates, stabilize blood sugar levels, and prevent or improve diabetes.
They promote and preserve liver and kidney function.
7. The 10th function of Intestinal Flora - To Shorten Illness period
Lots of modern people are suffering from a chronic disease for many years. Such as stroke for more than 10 years, diabetes for more than 10 years, gastroenterology for more than 30 years, kidney dialysis for more than 10 years, etc. They are tired, weak, sluggish and even can't take care of themselves. The patient is suffering. And, his family are tortured, together. Even more frightening, patients or the people who take care of them commit suicide. Is our body designed that need to be suffering more than 10 years, before they died? Is the body designed so painful?
In fact, for a normal life of people, he was able to take more exercise, sleep well, not too tired, adequate nutrition intake. Then he should have a normal intestinal flora, and let him live a healthy, long life. When he becomes very old, he may be infected suddenly. His intestinal flora is out of control. Bacterial translocation may occur and quickly lead to death.
In other words, the intestinal flora is helpful to maintain health when the body is healthy. On the contrary, the intestinal flora is helpful to end life when the body is unhealthy. I believed that the human body is designed to have a very short ill time. More of this, the human body should be designed to have a long life and die a natural death.
8. The Conditions of Healthy Body Constitution
A healthy body constitution should contain two conditions.
Having organization and function as physiology described.
The body shows good whole abilities that can properly interact with the natural environment. And, the body, with symbiotic normal flora, constructed survivability to maintain the health and cope with the environmental changes.
The whole abilities mean "6 abilities of healthy body constitution." They are...
Nutrition Conversion Ability
Self-Regeneration Ability
Environmental Balance Ability
the ability of adaption the environment
the ability of resistance aging
the ability of resistance disease
Good body constitution can constantly and finely adjust to keep himself in a stable state and in healthy condition, so as to cope with environmental changes and fight for better living conditions. On the contrary, bad body constitutions often get infectious diseases and hard to be cured. And they may initiate more disease just like that misfortune does not come singly. Reproductive ability is not included because all healthy bodies almost have it.
9. Healthy Body Constitution is Almost The Same for Everyone
A healthy body constitution is almost the same for everyone, especially for healthy babies. You think, did the doctor do the test as follows for any newborn baby?
What ingredients of milk is suitable for it.
What ingredient of water is suitable for it.
What kind of diapers is suitable for it.
What temperature, what humidity and what concentration of oxygen are suitable for it to live?
The answer is no.
Some ancient medical books, such as...
"The Emperor's Inner Canon," written about 2,500 years ago.
"Treatise on Exogenous Febrile Diseases" written by Chung Zhongjing about 2,000 years ago.
"Wenbing Tiaobian", Detailed Analysis of Epidemic Warm Diseases, written by Wu-Tang about 220 years ago.
"sheng nong's herbal classic" written more than 2000 years ago.
"Compendium of Materia Medica" written about 440 years ago.
"Essentials of Matea Medica" written by Mr. Li about 320 years ago.
They are ancient Chinese medical texts. Although they are written in a different era, phenomena on physiology and pathology they described conform to modern people. So, we think, the body constitution of ancient people and modern people are almost the same.
Ancient Chinese medical physicians discussed acupuncture points and its effect that everyone is almost the same.
10. Suffering From Chronic Makes Body Constitution Different
The idea of that "the healthy body constitution is almost the same as discussed for thousands of years in Chinese medicine. In recent centuries, Western medical research has great progress, and specialists are finely distinguished. But...
Obstetrics and Gynecology didn't divide into Tibetans', White people's, Africans', Hakkas' or alpine area people's, etc.
Pediatrics didn't divide into European's or Indian's. Physiology didn't divide to desert people's or arctic human's.
Pathology didn't divide into certain human's.
Laboratory science, rehabilitation medicine, internal medicine, surgery, etc.
All of them, not sub-region or race, are using almost the same standard. All of these displays that...
For thousands of years, after everyone was born, a healthy body constitution is almost the same. And, pathological changes are almost the same, too.
So that, "everyone has different body constitution" should mean that healthy people, because of aging or chronically illnesses, will result in different body constitution.
11. What Makes Good Body Constitution Turn to Bad Body Constitution
We've discussed as before, the 10th function of intestinal flora is that healthy people may only get the disease for a very short time before they die.
How evolve that will make the new technology era human he has good body constitution, but, turns to bad body constitution when he is not so old?
Being from a "good body constitution" turns to a "chronic body constitution".
Being from "uneasy to get sick of body constitution" turns to "Only can control and can't be cured" of chronic body constitution.
More of this, he got sick for many years and felt that to live is no better than to die.
More terrible, they are lying on the bed, lethargy, intubating, using respirators, or kidney dialysis, etc. for several years, even moreover decades. The younger family members are adversely affected by it?
What makes a good body constitution turn to bad body constitution when one is not old? Why?
