On a sunny weekend morning, Zheng Tao felt a bout of chest tightness and shortness of breath, which forced him to break his routine and go to the hospital for a check-up.
Zheng Tao is a bank clerk who is usually busy and stressful, but his daily routine is his forte.
He had always prided himself on his health consciousness, but today's discomfort made him a little uneasy.
In the hospital
Zheng Tao met Dr. Li, an experienced and charismatic veteran physician.
Dr. Lee examined him carefully, then sat down and began to speak in his light-hearted tone: "You know what, our body is a complex and mysterious system, and sometimes, its signals are like stars in the universe, distant and subtle. ”
Zheng Tao looked at Dr. Li curiously, and Dr. Li continued with a smile: "For example, some studies have shown that people's hair loss after the age of 50 is actually related to their lifespan.
Sounds ridiculous, right?
But in fact, there may be some interesting biology behind this. ”
Much hair loss reflects a certain balancing mechanism in the body
Zheng Tao couldn't help but laugh, he felt that this sounded like a fantasy.
Dr. Li was unimpressed, and he took some research reports out of his pocket and began to explain them in detail.
"You see, this study collected data from thousands of people and found that those who lost more hair actually showed better resistance to aging on certain biomarkers.
Of course, this is not to say that a lot of hair loss is necessarily healthy, but it may reflect some kind of balance mechanism in the body. ”
Due to hair loss, blood pressure problems were discovered
Zheng Tao was intrigued by Dr. Li's words, and he began to listen carefully to Dr. Li's stories about all kinds of wonderful things related to hair and health.
Dr. Lee tells the story of a patient who came to seek help because he was worried about hair loss, but accidentally discovered his blood pressure problem and his health improved after timely treatment.
With the help of stories and data, Zheng Tao began to understand Dr. Li's point of view, and he felt that the world was full of unknowns and possibilities, and his concept of health was also quietly changing.
He asked Dr. Lee, "So, how do you think we ordinary people should understand the relationship between hair loss and longevity?"
Focus on an overall healthy lifestyle
Dr. Li smiled and said, "This is just an observation, not an absolute causal relationship.
It is important that we focus more on the overall healthy lifestyle and not worry too much about a small detail.
Hair loss can be just one of many signals from the body, and it's important to learn to listen to your body and seek medical advice promptly. ”
Towards the end of the conversation, Zheng Tao felt that he had a deeper understanding of health.
He thanked Dr. Lee for his patience and decided to pay more attention to his body signals from today onwards.
Dr. Lee asked a seemingly unrelated question:
"Do you know why, even with such advanced technology, we still have a lot of unknowns about our bodies and health?"
This question made Zheng Tao think deeply.
"This is because the human body is an extremely complex system and each person is unique," Dr Lee explains.
Our genetics, environment, lifestyle, emotions, and countless other factors are constantly influencing us.
That's why, even with the most advanced technology, personalized medicine and health management is still crucial. ”
Zheng Tao left the hospital with this esoteric question, and his mind was more positive and open.
Curious and looking forward to the future, he decided to face each day of life in a more positive and healthy way.
