In a quiet town, there was an ordinary clerk named Wang Ming. He is an open-minded middle-aged man with a busy schedule, who likes to hang out with friends and occasionally have a few drinks.
However, recently he has started to feel some physical discomfort, especially since he often suffers from insomnia, and whenever he can't sleep late at night, he thinks about his health problems.
In order to understand his health, Wang Ming decided to participate in a free blood pressure test in the community, and found that his blood pressure was on the high side.
This made him a little worried, so he went to the hospital for a full body check-up.
In the hospital, he met a kind doctor named Dr. Liu. After reviewing Wang Ming's medical report, Dr. Liu began to discuss his Xi habits with him in detail, including his drinking habits.
Dr. Liu told Wang Ming that as men age, their liver function will gradually decline, and their ability to metabolize alcohol will also weaken.
He pointed out that men should be more cautious about drinking alcohol after the age of 55, because the burden on the liver will gradually increase.
Dr. Lau then elaborated on three important elements that are essential for men's drinking Xi in middle age:
Alcohol Concentration: Alcohol with a high alcohol concentration may be more likely to get drunk, but on the contrary, drinks with a low alcohol concentration are more likely to cause liver damage.
Therefore, after middle age, one should try to avoid drinking highly concentrated spirits.
Frequency of drinking: Regardless of the type of alcohol, frequent drinking is more damaging to the liver. Drinking alcohol every day or in large quantities on a regular basis can increase the burden on the liver and increase the risk of liver disease.
Alcohol consumption: Even beverages with low alcohol levels can have adverse effects on the liver if consumed in large amounts.
After middle age, men should minimize the amount of alcohol they drink at a time to reduce the burden on their liver.
Dr Lau backs up his view with a wealth of data and research findings, emphasizing the need for middle-aged men to be cautious when drinking alcohol.
He also shared the case stories of patients who had liver problems due to inappropriate drinking Xi, which left a deep impression on Wang.
After communicating with Dr. Liu, Wang Ming realized that his drinking Xi could adversely affect his health.
He decided to moderate his drinking, especially to reduce his intake of strong alcohol, and also to increase the frequency of exercise and a balanced diet.
Over time, his insomnia problems were alleviated and his body felt healthier and more energetic.
Finally, a seemingly unrelated question comes to Wang Ming's mind: Do we need to re-examine our Xi habits after middle age, including drinking, eating, and exercising?
Are we paying enough attention to our health, especially liver health? This question may trigger more people to think and act about middle-aged health.
