The story begins on a sunny New Year's Day morning, our protagonist is an ordinary white-collar worker named Chen Xiaoming, who on this special day, he goes to the hospital to visit his old friend he hasn't seen for a long time, Dr. Liu.
Chen Xiaoming and Dr. Liu have been good friends for many years and used to be college roommates, but they rarely have the opportunity to meet because of their work.
On the occasion of the New Year, Chen Xiaoming thought that he should visit his old friend, but unexpectedly found an unbelievable thing.
When he walked into the hospital room and saw Dr. Liu lying on the bed, looking tired, he was shocked. Dr. Lau, a cardiologist who has always been a role model for health, could he suddenly be hospitalized?
Chen Xiaoming sat on the edge of the bed and asked with concern, "Doctor Liu, what's wrong with you? Why are you hospitalized?"
Dr. Liu smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Ming, I didn't expect this to happen, some time ago I felt heart discomfort, with symptoms of chest tightness and shortness of breath, I thought it was just a lot of work pressure, and I didn't pay much attention to it."
But then the situation got worse and worse, and I came to the doctor. After a doctor's examination, it was found that my blood pressure and blood lipids were elevated, which led to heart problems. ”
Chen Xiaoming was shocked to hear this, he knew that this was not a joke, and that heart problems were a serious health threat.
He immediately said that he wanted to help Dr. Lau find the right treatment plan, and at the same time, he began to care about his own health problems.
Soon after, Chen Xiaoming also felt some physical discomfort at home, he felt dry mouth, dizziness, and sometimes numbness in his feet.
He thought to himself, do you have health problems too? He decided to go to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination to determine his health. At the hospital, he met an experienced internist surnamed Wang.
Mr. Chen told Dr. Wang about his symptoms, who said he needed a series of tests, including measuring blood pressure and checking blood lipid levels.
The results showed that Chen Xiaoming's blood pressure and blood lipids were also abnormally elevated.
Doctor Wang told Chen Xiaoming seriously: "Mr. Chen, your blood pressure and blood lipids are elevated, and you need to pay enough attention. Not only heart problems, but also the risk of other chronic diseases.
In addition to medication, a proper diet is also very important. Did you know that some salty foods can cause high blood pressure and dyslipidemia, such as salted duck eggs.
However, not all salty foods should be completely avoided, and it is okay to eat them in moderation. ”
Chen Xiaoming asked curiously, "Doctor, can you tell me what other salty foods I need to pay attention to?"
Doctor Wang replied, "Of course." In addition to salted duck eggs, there are also some salty foods, such as salted fish, pickled vegetables, salted meat products, etc., which are high in salt and may be detrimental to health if consumed for a long time.
Therefore, it is recommended that you consume these foods in moderation, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables to maintain a balanced diet. ”
Chen Xiaoming was deeply touched by this, he had never thought that his diet Xi habits might affect his health, but now he understands the importance of diet.
He was determined to improve his eating Xi habits, reduce his intake of salty foods, and get regular check-ups to stay healthy.
This story tells us that although salty foods are delicious, excessive intake may lead to high blood pressure and high blood lipids, increasing the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease.
Therefore, eating salty foods in moderation and eating more fresh fruits and vegetables is an important step in maintaining health.
Finally, let's consider a seemingly unrelated question: Do you have too much salty food in your Xi diet? Do you regularly check your blood pressure and blood lipid levels?
With a healthy diet and regular check-ups, we can better prevent and manage chronic diseases and stay healthy and active.
