"Oh, I'm such a person, why can't I resist running?"
Li Juan, on the hazy path in the night, panting and muttering to herself. At the age of 52, she seems to be physically strong and has a regular life, running a few laps on the playground of the community every night, which has become an integral part of her daily life.
However, on a sunny night, Li Juan suddenly collapsed on the runway and never got up again.
Afterwards, after careful analysis and diagnosis, the doctor pointed out that although Li Juan lived an orderly life and loved sports, she still ignored three important health details, which also made us reflect on the fact that seemingly inconseculous small habits may actually have a huge impact on our health.
First of all, we want to talk about dietary rationalization. You might say, I know this, it's important to eat healthy. But you know what? When it comes to every bite of food, we have to be selective.
Li Juan usually eats bread in the morning, a vegetable salad for lunch, and a light noodle soup in the evening. Doesn't that sound healthy? But the problem lies in the "healthy" diet.
Even healthy foods can be taxing on the body if consumed in excess. For example, whole wheat bread is good, but if you eat a lot of it every day, the high carbohydrate intake may exceed the standard, which is an invisible increase in the burden on the heart.
Let's talk about sports. Running is a good habit, and Li Juan has insisted on it for many years, which should have added points to her health. But the problem is that she overlooks the importance of exercise intensity and recovery.
Every day, regardless of the season, rain or shine, she has to run, with such intensity and frequency that it is beyond her body's capacity.
Another is that long-term high-intensity exercise, especially without rest, will cause great pressure on the heart and other organs, which may be an important factor in Li Juan's sudden death.
As a teacher, Li Juan has a lot of work pressure and often works overtime until late. Often in a state of overpressure, the body is overloaded, which is a great hidden danger to the body. People with long-term psychological stress have more than twice the incidence of heart disease compared to the general population.
You may ask, what should we do to avoid this tragedy? At this point, the doctor will tell you, first of all, to eat a balanced diet, not to eat all the healthy foods in unlimited amounts, but to eat them in moderation and to maintain variety.
Secondly, exercise moderately, make a plan according to your physical condition, don't blindly pursue exercise calorie consumption, and follow your own pace. Finally, mental health, which is often overlooked. I'm busy at work and stressful in life, so I have to find time to take a break for my body, don't you?
Let's talk about this mental health again. Do you know that there are many people in society nowadays who look happy on the surface, but in fact they are under a lot of pressure in their hearts. Just like Li Juan, who teaches students with a smile every day, who knows how much pressure she is under in her heart? So, don't underestimate this psychological pressure, it is an out-and-out health killer!
Let me give you another example, I have a patient who usually has a lot of work pressure and spins like a spinning top every day, and the result is? When I check it, I have high blood pressure and high blood lipids, isn't this all a ghost caused by psychological pressure? Therefore, we must learn to reduce pressure, do something we like, and relax our mood, which is good for our body and good for our family.
Well, having said all this, what I want to tell you is that a healthy life is not only about eating well and exercising, but also about taking care of that piece of land in your heart. Health is all-round, and there can be no negligence.
Having said that, now you may have a question, how can a person like Li Juan, who usually seems to pay a lot of attention to health, suddenly die? Doesn't this just illustrate a problem, that is, we still have a lot of shortcomings on the road of pursuing health, and there are still many things to learn and improve.
In life, we need to pay more attention to our physical condition in a more detailed and comprehensive way, not only looking at the surface, but also in-depth understanding, in order to truly focus on prevention and stay healthy.
What do you think is a good habit that is not quite right?
