“Crispy Youngsters” Embrace Health Preservation? Jing Bao Shares Quick Tips
A new term has been widely spreading on social media recently—the "crispy youngster." This term refers to young people aged between 18 and 25 who, despite being in the prime of their lives and full of vitality, are prone to injuries. Examples include herniated discs from sneezing or nasal artery ruptures from holding back laughter, making their 20-year-old bodies seem like those of 60-year-olds.The "crispiness" issues faced by young people can be seen as a "modern disease." The fast-paced modern lifestyle, immense work pressure, and lack of health awareness all contribute to this situation. Prolonged sitting in offices leading to stiff shoulders and necks, irregular eating and sleeping patterns, and anxious minds significantly impact young people's physical and mental well-being.Aware of their "crispiness," these young people are seeking ways to become stronger. As a result, health preservation is no longer exclusive to middle-aged and older adults; "New Chinese Health Preservation" is gradually becoming a trend among the younger generation.Recently, strong cold air swept through the south, causing a sharp drop in temperatures, signaling the arrival of winter. The freezing winter months are considered the "golden season" for health preservation. Let's follow Jing Bao to learn some health preservation secrets:Three Principles… -
