What is Sub- health 亚健康?
Feeling under the weather, but your doctor is unable to find anything particularly wrong with you? If so, you could be having a sub-health condition which shows up in symptoms such as chronic fatigue, poor appetite and general body weakness.
Sub-health, also known as the “third health condition” or “grey state”, is a borderline state between being healthy and falling sick. In this critical state, you are not sick, but yet do not feel well. The immune system is weak and this makes you more susceptible to falling ill.
Many people tend to neglect their health despite experiencing tell-tale signs from their body that something is not right. Not heeding these signals can lead to more serious consequences later.
There are many causes leading to sub-health conditions including poor lifestyle habits, extreme personalities, pollutions and stresses from work and life.
According to the Red Cross Society of China, white-collar workers and those with higher education levels are more prone to sub-health due to the nature of their work and lifestyle.
According to an investigation by the World Health Organization (WHO), 70% of the world population is in Sub-health condition, where over 45% of sub healthy people are middle-aged or elderly.
A study in Guangdong province has also shown that people between 30 - 40 years old have the highest incidence of sub-health. Among approximately 8500 college students and office workers investigated during the study, nearly 70% are in sub-health state. The prevalence of severe sub-health in females was also found to be significantly higher than males.
High-Risk Group
Age group 30 - 40
Females significantly higher than males professionals such as:
i. senior and middle-level managers
ii. clerks
iii. other white-collar workers
So what would get you out of this state? Managing sub-health condition involves changes in lifestyle, habits or stress management capabilities.
Hydrotherapy has also been gaining popularity as a modality for treating sub-health. Its ability to boost body immunity and enhance internal harmony gives it a distinct advantage in managing sub-health conditions.
People use hydrotherapy to treat many illnesses and conditions, including acne, arthritis, colds, depression, stomach problem, joint, muscle, and nerve problems, sleep disorders and stress. They also use it for relaxation and to maintain health. You can also use hydrotherapy to reduce or relieve sudden or long-lasting pain.

亚健康是一种临界状态，处于亚健康状态的人，虽然没有明确的疾病，但却出现精神活力和适应能力的下降，如果这种状态不能得到及时的纠正，非常容易引起心身疾病。亚健康即指非病非健康状态，这是一类次等健康状态，是界乎健康与疾病之间的状态，故又有“次健康”、“第三状态”、“中间状态”、“游移状态”、“灰色状态”等的称谓。世界卫生组织将机体无器质性病变，但是有一些功能改变的状态称为“第三状态”，我国称为“亚健康状态”。
