In the cold winter wind, everyone likes to sit in front of the hot pot and taste the steaming mutton. Lamb, as a good winter tonic, really brings us warmth and satisfaction.
Aunt Li, a 60-year-old retired teacher, is usually physically tough, and especially likes to eat mutton. Last winter, she ate lamb almost every week.
At first, we all thought it would be good for her health. But it didn't take long for Aunt Li to start feeling unwell, always feeling dry mouth, and not sleeping well at night.
Her son suggested that she go to the hospital for a check-up, but Aunt Li thought it was just a minor problem and was reluctant to go to the hospital. Until one day, she suddenly fainted at home, which attracted the attention of her family.
After an examination at the hospital, the doctor told Aunt Li that her blood lipid and uric acid levels were exceeded. It turned out that long-term consumption of mutton, especially the high-fat part, had a bad effect on Aunt Li's body.
Aunt Li's son searched a lot of information on the Internet to find a better way to maintain his health for his mother. He found that although lamb has many benefits, such as being rich in protein and helping to fight cold, it is not suitable for excessive consumption for middle-aged and elderly people and some people with special constitutions.
Especially for people with chronic diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, gout, etc., the saturated fatty acids and purines in mutton will aggravate the condition.
For patients like Aunt Li, the doctor suggested that she could eat some light chicken and fish to supplement protein, and at the same time eat more vegetables and fruits to maintain a balanced diet.
In fact, healthy living is not a static recipe, but needs to be adjusted according to the individual's physical condition and seasonal changes.
Although the winter is cold, we can keep warm through a reasonable diet, but excessive tonic can also put a burden on the body. Especially for the elderly and some people with special constitutions, they should choose a diet that suits them under the guidance of a professional doctor.
The quality of food is not absolute, the key is to be in moderation and appropriateness. Of course, it is okay to eat mutton in winter, but we must pay attention to the control of the amount, especially for people with special physiques.
A healthy lifestyle is about finding balance in your daily diet, rather than blindly pursuing so-called "supplements." Aunt Li's example is not only a warning, but also a reflection on our daily diet Xi habits.
Aunt Li originally chose to eat mutton regularly out of concern for health and the pursuit of deliciousness. But she overlooked an important principle: suitability. For example, some groups of people, due to age, health status and other factors, may need low-fat, low-purine foods more.
In fact, in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, food is not only a tool to fill the stomach, but also a means to regulate the body and achieve a balance between yin and yang.
Although mutton is warm, it is also a warm thing, which is not suitable for some people with hot physique and heavy internal heat. This reminds us that while enjoying food, we should also understand our physical condition and choose foods that are good for us.
When there was an abnormality in her body, if the family could have detected the problem earlier and actively guided her to seek medical treatment, perhaps there would not have been a crisis later.
This also tells us that family care is not only about daily life, but also about health. During this cold winter season, we all want to warm ourselves with food.
However, warmth does not only come from the food itself, but also from our understanding of the body and care for our health. Whether it is lamb or any other food, you should choose it in moderation on the basis of understanding your physical condition.
There are no absolute taboos in life, and there is no one-size-fits-all recipe. What we pursue is a kind of balance, a kind of responsibility for the body.
Just like Aunt Li finally learned, adjusting your diet at the right time is the best care for yourself. Let's enjoy the food while not forgetting to give more love and attention to the body.
