"What's that, you know?" said Lao Li Tou, a 57-year-old man, in the community park with a few old friends, his voice full of pride.
"I'm the bowling champion in our community, three times in a row!" This bowling master is not only famous in the community, but also has his unique dietary preferences in his life.
Lao Li Tou, an ordinary maintenance worker, usually works to tinker in the community, although the work is not easy, but Lao Li Tou is happy to do it.
He believes that this kind of hands-on work can keep him young, and it can also give him the opportunity to come into contact with a variety of people and things, enriching his life experience. However, there are always some regrets and unsatisfactory in life, and for Lao Li Tou, that is his eating habits.
Although the doctor reminded him many times that he needed to control his diet, especially to eat less foods with high sugar content, high fat and heavy salt content, in order to control his high blood sugar, Lao Li Tou always felt, "This life is just a few decades, if you don't eat, drink and have fun, it is still called life?"
Until that day, Lao Li Tou suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, and then fell to the ground. After being rushed to the hospital, the doctor announced that Lao Li Tou had passed away due to heart problems caused by high blood sugar.
In the hospital, Lao Litou's attending doctor, Dr. Zhang, has repeatedly emphasized the importance of daily diet, especially for patients with high blood sugar problems like Lao Litou.
After this incident, Dr. Teo decided to take a unique perspective to raise awareness of the importance of healthy eating. In addition to eating less of the three food groups, he also emphasizes an often overlooked idea of healthy eating: maintaining emotional stability.
He explained that people's mood swings, especially long-term stress and negative emotions, will directly affect the body's metabolic function, which in turn affects the stability of blood sugar and blood pressure.
Dr. Zhang explained in depth that when a person is in a state of tension or anxiety, the body increases the production of certain hormones, such as cortisol, which directly acts on the regulatory mechanism of blood sugar, causing its levels to rise.
When faced with stress, people tend to reduce their psychological burden by eating a lot, smoking or drinking alcohol in a less healthy way, which not only does not help solve the problem, but increases the risk of high blood sugar.
Dr. Zhang also shared a case story about a middle-aged woman who often had mood swings due to trivial family troubles, and also faced difficulties in controlling her blood sugar. These examples all highlight the importance of emotion management in maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle.
Dr. Teo encourages people to take a proactive approach to coping with stress and mood swings in their lives, such as regular physical activity, getting enough sleep, self-relaxation and emotion regulation techniques.
Dr. Zhang also emphasized that although this method does not seem to be directly related to blood sugar control, it actually involves the most basic physiological and mental health of the human body, and has a profound impact on the prevention and control of chronic diseases such as hyperglycemia and hypertension.
By improving lifestyle and emotional management, people can unconsciously control and lower their blood sugar levels, which is much more effective than diet control alone.
Under Dr. Zhang's advocacy, Lao Litou's story and Dr. Zhang's views have sparked widespread discussion in the community. People are starting to re-examine their lifestyle habits and emotional management methods, and many are starting to try to adjust their lifestyle as recommended by Dr. Zhang.
Throughout this process, Dr. Teo has also been providing support and guidance to help them gradually move towards a healthier life. In a busy and stressful life, how can we effectively manage our emotions to help control blood sugar and improve health?
Proven methods such as exercising regularly, getting enough sleep, learning relaxation and meditation techniques, and cultivating positive social relationships can help people better manage their emotions.
Through these methods, we can not only improve our emotional well-being, but also control our blood sugar to a greater extent, thereby maintaining and promoting physical health.
