How "dare" academician Zhong Nanshan?
In 2003, when SARS was raging, Academician Zhong Nanshan stood up: "Send seriously ill patients to me!" After the outbreak of the epidemic in Wuhan, people were panicked, and he was even more brave to speak out: "There must be human-to-human transmission" to remind everyone to pay attention to protection.
In his 50-year career as a doctor, Zhong Nanshan believes that truth is as important as real medicine, he dares to tell the truth, he is willing to tell the truth, he has the courage to criticize medical chaos, and also reveals a lot of health misunderstandings and reminds people not to make mistakes. Xiao Ai took some from public media interviews, hoping to help everyone.
Many people say that smoking has benefits, feel that there is no harm, tobacco is an important source of domestic taxation, but Academician Zhong Nanshan dares to criticize, and even the authoritative experts of peers.
He mentioned in his speech that there was once an academician who claimed that smoking is beneficial, smoking is a source of inspiration, SARS busters, large taxpayers, friendship bridges and health performance. However, the academician himself is now suffering from COPD, and it has become very difficult to walk normally. Academician Zhong Nanshan also joined forces with 100 academicians to request the abolition of the academician position of tobacco expert.
There is no doubt that smoking increases the risk of disease and even cancer! Academician Zhong Nanshan pointed out that the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in smokers is 2 to 4 times higher than that of non-smokers, and the risk of lung cancer is increased by 4 to 6 times.
The "China Smoking Hazards Health Report 2020" pointed out that about 1 million people die of smoking in China every year, and if it is not controlled, it is expected that the annual number of deaths will reach 2 million in 2030 and 3 million in 2050.
So don't say that smoking is good, those who say that smoking can live to the age of 99 are after all a minority, can not use individuals, minorities to represent the majority, for everything must look at the whole.
The elderly are the hardest hit areas of health care product fraud, Academician Zhong believes that there are very few truly effective health care products on the market at present, and more are not proven to be effective, but they are hyped up as health care products with miraculous effects. Taking these health supplements is likely to bring hidden dangers to health while not being able to bring results. For example, some health care products also contain hormones, although eating is very mental, but it is not very good for the body.
Long-term use of health care products of unknown origin is likely to cause drug-induced liver damage. According to clinical statistics, about 30% of drug-induced liver damage comes from health care products and Chinese herbal medicines, and abuse of health care products is a very undesirable behavior.
In addition, the price of these health care products is often not cheap. According to the data surveyed by the China Health Care Association, the annual sales of health care products in China are as high as 200 billion yuan, and the proportion of the elderly is more than 50%.
Many salespeople will lure the elderly into money through false publicity and fraud, and even more will threaten the safety of the elderly.
Nowadays, people abuse antibiotics such as cephalosporin and aspirin as soon as they have a cold and fever, and Academician Zhong pointed out when referring to the abuse of antibiotics that many people and even medical personnel will use antibacterial drugs as antipyretics. In China, the annual per capita consumption of antibiotics has reached 138g, which is ten times more than the 13g in the United States, of which less than 20% of antibiotics are really needed.
In addition to the common abuse of antibiotics in humans, animal husbandry and aquaculture are also hard-hit areas. About half of the antibacterial drugs produced in China are used in animals, and the abuse situation is also very serious. Academician Zhong said that when he sees those particularly fat fish now, he is worried about whether he has taken antibiotics, generally do not eat, and prefer to eat thinner fish.
Eating animal meat that is abused with antibiotics is transferred to the human body. The School of Public Health of Fudan University in Shanghai once conducted a study to test the urine of more than 1,000 children aged 8 to 11 in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, and found that nearly 60% of the children's urine contained antibiotics, and even some antibiotics that were only suitable for livestock and poultry were also detected in children.
The current situation of antibiotic abuse in China is alarming, unreasonable application of antibiotics, will endanger the human immune system, increase the probability of adverse reactions of drugs, while increasing the resistance of bacteria, it is imperative to make changes! If you want to live a long life, the above health misunderstandings need to be avoided, and these five things are also recommended for everyone to do well.
"Half of what is healthy is mental health, and half of what is sick is mental illness. Unreasonable diets accounted for 25%, and inappropriate exercise, smoking cessation and alcohol restrictions accounted for 25%. Academician Zhong is 85 years old this year, and he believes that the greatest success in life is to live healthily, and there are five cornerstones for wanting to be healthy: psychological balance, reasonable diet, appropriate exercise, smoking cessation and alcohol restriction, and early prevention and early treatment.
1. Psychological balance
Bad emotions and bad mood are the most short-lived, long-term in worry, fear, jealousy and hatred and other bad emotions, will lead to emotional tension, causing blood pressure, blood sugar rise, etc., easy to lead to a variety of diseases.
2. Reasonable diet
A healthy eating pattern requires two things, not overeating and eating less oil, salt and sugar. In addition, in the diet, we should pay attention to eating more coarse grains and eating less fine rice noodles; red meat, red meat, sugary drinks, etc. should also try to eat less and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.
3. Insist on exercise
Academician Zhong suggested that young people should participate in more competitive sports, including various ball games, running and other sports, while middle-aged and elderly sports can choose to walk fast, swim and tai chi.
4. Quit smoking and limit alcohol
Among the 6 unhealthy lifestyles proposed by WHO, the first is smoking and the second is alcoholism. Long-term smoking and alcohol abuse will bring great threats to health, which will lead to a significant increase in the risk of liver cancer and lung cancer.
5. Early prevention and early treatment
Academician Zhong reminded that the meaning of health is not to get sick, less sick, get small diseases, and many diseases will be the greatest success of medical staff if they can be detected and treated early.
Health and longevity is what everyone is pursuing, and we must use the right method while pursuing it! Avoid stepping into the wrong area and bringing unnecessary risks to your health. #Health Star Program ##2021 Vitality Conference ##养老知识大赛 #
