In a neighborhood in Beijing, there lives a middle school history teacher named Liu Hai.
One night, Bangs suddenly wakes up from a nightmare and dreams that he has been diagnosed with a fatal disease.
The dream made him feel so uneasy that the next morning, he decided to go to the hospital for a comprehensive medical check-up.
Arrived at the hospital
Bangs meets an amiable old doctor, Dr. Zhou.
Dr. Zhou is the typical old Beijinger, who always speaks with a touch of humor and ridicule.
Liu Hai told Dr. Zhou about his worries and nightmares.
After listening to this, Dr. Zhou smiled and said, "You are too tired, and your work is stressful, so you can rest assured to do a check-up." ”
After a series of tests, Dr. Zhou told Liu Hai that his blood pressure was somewhat high, which was mild hypertension.
Bangs was a little surprised, because he usually paid little attention to this aspect of the problem.
Dr. Zhou began to explain: "High blood pressure is like an invisible killer, and if you don't pay attention to it, the consequences will be not small. ”
What is normal blood pressure?
Dr Chow continued, "The normal blood pressure should be 120/80mmHg.
If you exceed this value, you need to pay attention.
If high blood pressure is not controlled, the risk of heart disease and stroke will be greatly increased.
According to a large-scale study of 50,000 people, people with high blood pressure have twice as much mortality if they are not effectively controlled. ”
How can I control my blood pressure?
After listening to it, Liu Hai realized the seriousness of the problem.
He asked Dr. Chow how he could control his blood pressure.
Dr. Chow replied, "The key to controlling blood pressure is lifestyle adjustments.
Eat less salty, do more exercise, and keep a good mood. While this may sound like a cliché, these are scientifically verified. ”
After Liu Hai returned home, he began to follow Dr. Zhou's advice and make changes to his lifestyle.
He began to take daily walks, reduce salt intake, and try to keep his mood relaxed.
Gradually, he felt a noticeable improvement in his physical condition.
A few months later, Liu Hai went to the hospital again for a follow-up check, and his blood pressure had returned to normal levels.
After seeing the results of the examination, Dr. Zhou nodded with satisfaction and teased: "It seems that our history teacher is not only good at teaching, but also very good at being a student!"
Finally, ask a question
Why, even with the advent of advanced medical technology, do we still need to pay attention to traditional lifestyle adjustments to manage chronic diseases such as hypertension?
The answer lies in the fact that while modern medicine has made great strides in treating a wide range of diseases, prevention and lifestyle modifications remain the most effective treatments for chronic diseases.
Proper diet, regular exercise, and a good mental state are basic lifestyle adjustments that can not only help control blood pressure, but also improve overall quality of life and prevent more health problems.
Therefore, even in modern society, traditional lifestyle adjustments are still an integral part of maintaining health.
