In an ordinary town, there is a middle-aged man named Wang Ming.
He is a typical office worker, and in addition to coding words on the computer, he deals with a bunch of documents every day.
One extraordinary morning, when Wang Ming woke up, he felt a strong feeling of dizziness and weakness, which he had never felt before.
He thought, "What the hell is this?"
But he knew that this was not a small problem that could be ignored by himself, so he hurriedly registered to go to the hospital.
In the waiting area of the hospital
Wang Ming happened to flip through a health magazine, and the headline of the book on it was: "High blood pressure, I don't know what to do? Listen to the experience of patients with high blood pressure for 10 years, mainly in three points".
Wang Ming snorted, he himself was a high blood pressure patient, but he never took it seriously.
He thought to himself, "What can these so-called experiences be?"
Finally, it was Wang Ming's turn to enter the consultation room, and the doctor was a middle-aged lady who looked very serious.
She listened to Wang Ming's description, tapped lightly on the table, and said, "Do you know that high blood pressure is not a trivial matter, and if you keep ignoring it, it may trigger a series of serious complications.
Wang Ming shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly, but decided to listen to the doctor continue.
The doctor began to recount the knowledge and cases she had accumulated over the years about high blood pressure.
"High blood pressure is like a ticking time bomb, you never know when it's going to explode," she said.
But there are three ways to effectively control it and get your life back on track. ”
First of all, the doctor mentioned mindset adjustment
"Many people think that high blood pressure is a direct result of stressful lives, but in reality, how you deal with stress is the key.
You need to learn to relax yourself, for example by listening to music, going for a walk or doing yoga. ”
Wang Ming couldn't help but laugh when he listened, he never thought that these simple things would have such a big effect.
The second point that the doctor talks about is diet management
She explains in detail which foods are beneficial for people with high blood pressure and which should be avoided.
But instead of just talking in generalities, as other doctors do, she gave specific recipes and advice, and even mixed in humorous comments such as: "If you love French fries, be prepared to be friends with high blood pressure!"
Thirdly, the doctor emphasizes regular exercise
"Exercise not only helps you lose weight and reduce your risk of heart attacks, but it also helps you release stress. ”
She told Wang Ming that even a simple walk or going up and down stairs can bring significant results as long as you persist.
After talking about these three points, the doctor suddenly asked a seemingly unrelated question:
"Do you know why ants can carry food dozens of times heavier than their bodies?"
Wang Ming was stunned for a moment, not knowing what this problem had to do with high blood pressure.
The doctor smiled and explained that it was actually a metaphor for how to face a seemingly impossible challenge.
Just like ants, although high blood pressure may seem like a huge and insurmountable problem, it can eventually be controlled and overcome with little bit of effort, perseverance, and perseverance.
After hearing this, Wang Ming felt as if he had rediscovered high blood pressure, and he decided to start implementing the doctor's advice when he returned home.
He knows that it's not just for himself, but also for those who love him and the people he loves.
