"Oh, you said Uncle Li, that character, haha, how can you say it, what a weird guy!"
Uncle Li, 55 years old, is an ordinary postman. He is an avid morning jog, and every morning, when most people are still asleep, he has started running around the neighborhood, except in the rain. For him, running is both a physical exercise and a mental relaxation.
However, just after a year of insisting on morning running, a physical examination made Uncle Li's life trajectory take a huge turn. The original fatty liver turned into liver cancer. This news, like a bolt from the blue, made it difficult for him to accept. Uncle Li immediately went to the hospital for consultation, hoping to find out the cause.
At the hospital, after listening to Uncle Li's experience, the experienced doctor did not immediately give a conclusion, but asked him in detail about his living habits. After some conversation, the doctor finally found the possible cause. "Did you know that running in the morning is a good habit, but if you have some bad habits after running, the effect can be greatly diminished or even counterproductive. ”
Here, I would like to mention a point that everyone can't think of - drinking a lot of cold drinks or cold water immediately after a morning run has a very big impact on the liver. It doesn't sound like it's directly related to liver cancer, right? But doing so in the long term will cause continuous irritation and damage to the liver, accelerating the evolution of fatty liver to liver cancer.
"Well, you know, the liver is a super 'chemical factory' in our body, and it's responsible for a lot of metabolic work. When you just finish running, the blood circulation in the whole body accelerates, and the liver is also working at a high capacity. ”
"When you give it a cold drink, it's just 'adding insult to injury'. Over time, the burden on the liver becomes heavier and heavier, which may eventually lead to liver lesions. The doctor explained in a relaxed tone, but there was no lack of seriousness in his words. Uncle Li seemed to understand a little. "So what should I do in the future?" he asked.
"Actually, it's very simple. After a morning run, try to take a break first, wait for your body to calm down a little, and then slowly drink some warm water or a drink that is not too cold. This restores lost water without putting an additional burden on the liver. The doctor's answer was simple and specific, which made Uncle Li feel suddenly enlightened.
Doctors also made another point about muscle relaxation and stretching after a morning run. "Do you know, Uncle Li, after a morning run, if you don't relax and stretch your muscles properly, the long-term accumulated muscle tension and fatigue will have an adverse effect on blood circulation, which in turn will affect the health of your liver. ”
Doctors say that proper muscle relaxation and stretching can help muscles recover, improve blood circulation, and reduce the accumulation of lactic acid in the blood. For the liver, good blood circulation is essential because it can effectively reduce the metabolic burden on the liver, thereby reducing the risk of liver disease.
Uncle Li followed the doctor's instructions and began to stretch seriously after each morning run. As time went on, he found that not only did he feel more relaxed physically, but his mental state as a whole also improved significantly.
