Last week, a young man in his early thirties came to the clinic. His surname is Li and he is a rider for a food delivery company.
Because of the needs of work, he often solves the problem of three meals in restaurants outside. Over time, it has led to some problems in the body.
"Mr. Li, have you been feeling physically tired and mentally exhausted lately?" I carefully checked his medical records.
"Yes, doctor, I've been working a lot lately, and I've been exhausted. The young man nodded, "Coupled with the reason for eating out, it seems that there is a little problem with my digestive system." "
Although the symptoms are not as good as they can be, the doctor's experience tells me that it is likely to be related to the young man's long-term intake of unhealthy food. So I got straight to the point and asked, "What condiments do you often use in restaurants when you've been eating out lately?"
The young man thought for a moment and replied, "Well, it seems that some seasonings such as soy sauce and oyster sauce are often used. However, occasionally some monosodium glutamate or a little white wine is added when stewing meat to enhance the flavor. "
Hearing this, I thought about it, and the crux of the problem may lie in these seemingly ordinary spices.
"Mr. Li, the quality of the soy sauce and oyster sauce used in restaurants you usually eat should not be guaranteed. "
I pondered and said, "If you take a large amount of it for a long time, it will indeed have some negative effects on the body. "
The young man looked suspicious: "What do you say? I think these are ordinary condiments, so there shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
I took a deep breath and patiently explained, "Generally speaking, soy sauce and oyster sauce produce some harmful substances such as nitrite during the production process. If you consume too much, it can accumulate in the body for a long time and there are potential risks to the body, such as increasing the risk of cancer. "
"Really, what should I do?" the young man looked a little nervous.
"Rest assured, as long as we take some measures in time, the situation can still be controlled and reversed. "
I comforted, "In the future, we should pay attention to a balanced diet, try to choose fresh and natural ingredients, and reduce these soy sauce, oyster sauce and other condiments." If you really can't do without it, you should also control the dosage, and remember not to overdo it. "
In addition, I also specially advised Mr. Li to pay attention to when cooking at home, and avoid using food additives that seem convenient but have potential health risks, such as monosodium glutamate, sodium nucleotides, etc. In recent years, more and more studies have shown that they do have some negative effects on liver and kidney function and nervous system when taken for a long time.
"Doctor, can't that baijiu be used?" the young man still wondered, "I have the impression that many restaurants will add a little baijiu when cooking, and I always thought that this would help to increase the flavor and remove the fishiness." "
"It's okay to use liquor in small quantities once in a while. "
"But we have to choose a good quality liquor with a lower alcohol content." Because alcohol itself has certain irritation and harm, if it is taken in large quantities for a long time, it will also accumulate some adverse effects on the body. "
Through this detailed answer, Mr. Li finally understood the truth.
When I was leaving, I told him to be cautious when choosing ingredients and condiments in the future, try to choose fresh and natural ingredients, and stay away from foods with too many artificial additives.
After all, a healthy diet is fundamental to good health.
In fact, for a long time, some lifestyle habits and dietary seasoning habits that we take for granted may be subtly affecting our physical health.
For example, MSG in home-cooked dishes, shabu-shabu packets in hot pot, soy sauce in takeaway restaurants, etc., these seemingly inconspicuous condiments will inevitably have some substances that are harmful to health in the production and processing process.
If ingested in large quantities for a long time, these "dangerous goods" hidden in the details of life will cause certain harm to our body. It can be said that on the road to fighting cancer and disease, the details of each of our lives and eating habits play a decisive role.
Only by starting from the source of life and staying away from those improper eating methods that are harmful to the body can health be fundamentally guaranteed.
