"You know what? I ran every day, went to bed at 9 p.m., and did this every day for 10 years. ”
Li Ming, a 58-year-old man, stood in the hospital room and said helplessly to the doctor in front of him. Li Ming is a bank clerk, ordinary but conscientious, and his life is as regular as that old clock that has fallen into disrepair but is still punctual.
However, on an ordinary afternoon, he was diagnosed with bowel cancer. This is undoubtedly unacceptable for someone like him who values physical health. He loves sports, goes to bed early and gets up early, never stays up late, and his diet is mainly light, why did he suddenly become a colorectal cancer patient?
"These things are too much. The doctor shook his head helplessly, his tone full of regret. This sentence may sound a bit paradoxical, doesn't it say that a good healthy lifestyle can keep away from disease, and how does it end up being a negative example of "going long"?
Li Ming's case caused quite a stir in the hospital, after all, he has almost become the spokesperson for a healthy life. But now, he is lying in the hospital bed, feeling lost and helpless in the face of his seemingly correct habits that cannot prevent the disease from coming.
Let's talk about an interesting phenomenon in medicine – over-exercise. Many people may not know that exercise is good, but it is too much. Exercising too much can lead to a decrease in the body's immune system, increasing the risk of disease.
And Li Ming's situation is this kind of thing. His amount of exercise is far beyond the scope of normal people, and every day no matter whether it is windy or rainy, he will insist on running, even to the point of paranoia.
Now let's look at the habit of going to bed early and waking up early. It sounds like a healthy lifestyle that every doctor would recommend, but, did you know that going to bed too early can also lead to endocrine disorders, which are related to one's biological clock. The human body has its own biological clock, and falling asleep too early may disrupt this biological clock, thus affecting the normal functioning of the human body.
As for a light diet, this is a dietary habit worth advocating, but if you don't pay attention to the nutritional matching, it will also lead to a lack of necessary nutrients in the human body, which will affect your health. For example, Li Ming neglected the intake of dietary fiber, which is extremely important for the prevention of bowel cancer.
The lesson of Li Ming's example is that everything should be done in moderation. Exercise in moderation, eat a balanced diet, and conform to the body's biological clock, which is the real healthy lifestyle.
Of course, the formation of bowel cancer is a complex process, which is related to many factors such as genetics and environmental factors. Li Ming's condition cannot be attributed entirely to his lifestyle, but his lifestyle undoubtedly deepens his risk of illness.
However, let's say that lifestyle is only one aspect of health, genetics, environmental factors, and even psychological state can all be potential factors that affect a person's health.
You say, how can we find the right way to our health in this complex and changing world? And that's where we come to the treatment of the individual.
That is to say, everyone's physique, lifestyle habits, and even genetics are different, and we have to be tailored to each other on the way to pursue health.
For example, some people may have an aversion to certain foods, so they have to avoid those foods in their diet. Some people may have a hidden risk of a certain disease in their genes, so they have to pay more attention to prevention in their lives. So, this is not to say that Li Ming's lifestyle is completely wrong, but it may not be completely suitable for his own physical condition.
Back to Li Ming, after discovering the disease, he did not give up, but actively cooperated with the treatment and began to adjust his lifestyle. He began to arrange his exercise plan more scientifically, no longer blindly pursuing the amount of exercise, but focusing on the quality and suitability of exercise.
In terms of diet, he also began to adjust his diet structure according to the advice of the dietitian to ensure balanced nutrition, and also strengthened the monitoring of his physical condition.
Through these adjustments, Li Ming's body has undergone a very good transformation. Although the disease is still there, his quality of life has improved and his mindset has become more positive.
