18 Feeling tired lately? Has a doctor said he can't find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sent you
to a hospital, but all the advanced equipment there shows that
there is nothing wrong with you.
Then, consider this:you might be in a state of subhealth (亚健康).
Subhealth, also called the third state or gray state, is explained as a borderline state between health and
disease.
According to the investigation (调查) by the National Health Organization, over 45 percent of
subhealthy people are middle-aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in
management position as well as students around exam time.
Symptoms include a lack of energy, depression (压抑 ) , slow reactions, insomnia (失眠), agitation
(焦虑 ), and poor memory. ()ther symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waistand legs.
The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth, according to some medical experts, is to form
good living habits,
alternate work and rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open air activities.
As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should eat more fresh vegetables,
fruits and fish because they are rich in nutritional (营养的 ) elements- vitamins and trace elements
(微量元素)-that are important
to the body.

unhealthy changes in the digestive tract (消化道). They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in
avoiding subhealth.
