浅论中医学健康教育与预防保健

中医学健康教育的主要内容包括调摄精神、注意饮食起居、重视锻炼身体、药物预防疾病以及保持环境卫生和个人卫生等。随着我国人口老龄化进程的加速，疾病谱的不断变化，中医学健康教育在现代生活中，发挥着越来越重要的作用，有着积极的现实意义。
1．调摄精神，强调精神因素与社会因素对健康的影响
中医学认为，真精元气为生命始生之物质，精神、意志是人的根本。人的精神情志活动与人体的生理、病理变化有密切的关系。现代医学认为，精神因素和社会因素在疾病的发生、发展中起着重要作用。随着社会生活节奏的加快，工作压力的加剧，人们的情绪经常处于紧张之中，许多人出现失眠、健忘等神经衰弱症状，甚至导致精神障碍。
2．加强锻炼，合理运动
我国提倡仿生医疗体操的历史十分久远，在长沙马王堆三号汉墓出土的文物里，就有描绘各种导引动作的帛画《导引图》；汉代的华佗创造了“五禽戏”，即模仿五种动物的姿态来锻炼身体；唐代的孙思邈提出“每日必须调气补泄，按摩导引为佳”，其长寿的奥秘是“四体勤奋，每天劳动”。此外，后世不断演变的太极拳、鹤翔桩、易筋经、八段锦等多种健身方法，不仅能增强体质，还能预防疾病的发生。现代医学认为，适量、持久、合理的运动，对人体各系统和器官以及精神和智能，都有着良好的促进作用。
3．饮食起居要有规律，避免劳逸过度
《素问·上古天真论》指出能适应自然变化的规律，并对饮食、起居、劳逸做出适当的安排的人，可益寿延年。倘“以酒为浆，以妄为常，醉以人房，以欲竭其精，以耗散其精，不知持满，不时御神，务快其心，逆生于乐，起居无节”，必会“半百而衰也”。现代医学研究表明，许多慢性病的发生与不良的生活方式有密切的关系。如吸烟可引发肺癌、支气管炎、肺气肿、心脏病、消化道溃疡；酗酒可致酒精性肝硬化、恶性肿瘤，并可构成严重的社会问题；食用过多的脂肪、蛋白质、糖或维生素及微量元素缺乏，可引发糖尿病、高血压、冠心病、结肠癌、肥胖症等。
4．预防疾病
我国古代人民早就对传染病提出了相应的预防措施。李时珍在《本草纲目》中提出：“天行瘟疫，取初病衣服，于曾瓦上蒸过，则一家不染。”罗世瑶在《行军方便便方》中写道：“将初病疫气人贴肉布衫，于蒸笼内蒸一炷香久，则全军不染。”唐代对麻风病人已设有“疠人坊”，“收养疠疾，男女别坊，四时供承，务令周给。”清代曾制定了将患天花病者迁移隔离的规定，并设置“查痘章京”之官职以管理此事。近年来，人们运用中草药预防某些疾病也取得了较好的效果，如用板蓝根及大青叶预防流感，用茵陈、栀子预防肝炎等。
5．保持环境卫生和个人卫生
生活环境的质量和人的健康息息相关。在夏商，我国劳动人民已知凿井而饮；在殷墟遗址中发现住房附近有排泄废水的水沟；在周代已知通过除害来改善环境卫生；到秦代时，都市已有了下水道、公厕、洒水车等。特别是唐代以来，用开水泡茶之风逐渐盛行，对减少传染病的传播起到了良好的作用。我国古代即养成早晨“盥洗”的好习惯。
综上所述，积极开发中医资源及中医学中朴素的健康教育思想，使其在新的历史时期，为人类的健康发挥积极作用，是十分必要的。
