On an ordinary spring morning, Uncle Li, a community gardening enthusiast, was busy as usual in his carefully cultivated small garden. His garden was the envy of his neighbors and was filled with a variety of flowers and vegetables. However, an accidental slip and fall caused him a slight sprain in his leg. Although the injury was not serious, it forced him to slow down for a while.
As an elderly person who pays attention to dietary health, Uncle Li has his own set of understanding of dietary therapy. But after he was injured, friends and neighbors gave him a variety of dietary advice, especially about the taboo of "hair matter". Lamb can worsen wounds, tofu can cause edema, and leeks and seafood can cause other complications — warnings he often hears.
For these traditional concepts, Uncle Li is both curious and confused. He wanted to know if these foods would really affect the recovery of the wound? In his daily life, these "hair products" were frequent customers of his diet, and if he avoided them for a long time, he was worried that his nutrition would be out of balance? With these questions and his insistence on health, Uncle Li decided to explore this topic in depth and examine these traditional dietary taboos from a scientific perspective.
After that fall, Uncle Li's leg was not seriously injured, but the inconvenience and slight pain made him extremely careful. Old friends from the community have given advice, especially about dietary taboos. They say to avoid eating so-called "hair products" such as mutton, tofu, leeks and seafood during the injury, as these foods can worsen the wound and even delay recovery. Although Uncle Li was skeptical, he still decided to follow these suggestions, hoping that he would get better as soon as possible.
However, as time went on, Uncle Li began to get confused. His wound recovery did not speed up significantly, but he felt weaker due to the restricted diet. At this point, he realized that it might not be scientific to decide on a diet based solely on verbal information, so he began to seek more reliable information.
The concept of "hair matter" is derived from traditional Chinese medicine and refers to foods that may cause or aggravate certain diseases. But scientific research has not been definitively conclusive. Some studies have pointed out that foods such as lamb and seafood, while rich in protein and essential nutrients, may indeed cause allergies or discomfort in some people. But for most people, consuming these nutrient-rich foods in moderation is good for recovery and health.
Uncle Li began to read some scientific research reports and medical materials in detail. He was surprised to learn that data showed that proper protein intake was extremely important for wound healing, and lamb and seafood were precisely the sources of high-quality protein. At the same time, tofu, as a leader in vegetable protein, is rich in amino acids, which are essential for maintaining body functions and repairing tissues. As for leeks, they are rich in vitamin C and minerals, which also have a certain effect on boosting immunity and promoting wound healing.
Although Uncle Li's leg injury was not too serious, as time went by, he found that his recovery speed was not as fast as expected. What started as a happy community gardening activity turned into a distant dream. He began to wonder if the taboos about "hair matter" were really scientific. After some struggle, he decided to consult Dr. Zhang from the community hospital, an experienced doctor in the field of orthopedics.
After listening carefully to Uncle Li's diet and Xi and recovery, Dr. Zhang patiently explained: "The concept of 'hair matter' comes from traditional medicine, which believes that certain foods can stimulate the body, aggravate the disease or delay recovery. However, modern medical research has shown that during the recovery period, it is more important to focus on nutritional balance rather than blindly taboo certain foods. ”
Dr Teo pointed out that although mutton is a warm food, it is rich in protein, which is beneficial for post-injury recovery. Tofu and leeks are rich in plant proteins and vitamins, which are equally important for maintaining gut health and speeding up wound healing. As for seafood, unless the individual has an obvious allergic reaction, moderate consumption is good for supplementing trace elements. He stressed that the key is to control the amount and quality of food to ensure a diverse and balanced diet.
These words were like a clear stream, diluting Uncle Li's confusion and anxiety. He began to adjust his diet as recommended by Dr. Zhang, introducing the "hair matter" that he had previously avoided in moderation. It didn't take long for Uncle Li to be pleasantly surprised to find that his wounds healed faster, and his mental state had improved greatly. His legs no longer feel as sore as they used to, and he can even slowly resume walking and gardening activities.
In this process, Uncle Li has experienced a lot. He realized that blindly following unproven dietary taboos not only did not help the wound heal, but could hinder recovery due to malnutrition. He learned that when faced with health problems, he should seek the advice of a professional doctor instead of relying solely on folk rumors.
Afterwards, Uncle Li also deliberately sorted out this experience and wrote a small article and posted it on the community bulletin board. He hopes that through his story, he can help more people understand the importance of scientific diet, and no longer blindly believe in the so-called "hair matter" taboo. His article has been recognized by many neighbors, who have expressed the need to treat diet and health with a more scientific attitude.
In the days that followed, Uncle Li fully recovered from his leg injury, and he was active in every corner of the community again. His experience is like a seed that is quietly sown in the hearts of the community, taking root and slowly changing people's perceptions of health and diet. Uncle Li is no longer the old man who is depressed because of his injury, but has become a messenger in the community to spread health science knowledge.
