Feel 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．

Symptoms include a lack of energy, depression, slow reactions, insomnia, angry, and poor memory．Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs．

The key to preventing and recovering from sub-health, 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 also eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, fish because they are rich in nutritional elements--vitamins and other elements that are important to the body．
