On a sunny afternoon, Lin Feng walked into a seemingly ordinary but ingenious courtyard, ready to visit his mentor, Professor Li, whom he had not seen for many years.
Professor Li is over seventy years old, but he is still in good spirits, which makes Lin Feng feel both surprised and curious. Professor Li greeted Lin Feng with a smile, and after the two sat down, Lin Feng couldn't help but ask, "Professor, how do you stay so healthy?"
Professor Li put down the teacup, pondered for a while, and began with a doctor's advice: "Many people think that longevity only requires a few simple 'health secrets', but they don't know that excessive pursuit of these so-called health habits will backfire and cause the three highs." This sentence aroused Lin Feng's great interest.
Lin Feng, a middle-aged programmer by profession, suffered from mild high blood pressure and high blood lipids due to his sedentary and irregular lifestyle habits, which made him extremely worried about his health.
Professor Li continued, "In modern society, the problem of three highs is becoming more and more common, especially among the elderly. But you know what? There are three habits that people generally think are good for their health, and it's not good to do more. ”
First of all, Professor Li talked about the problem of drinking too much tea.
"Many people think that drinking tea is a good way to lose weight and reduce fat, so they make tea every day.
But here's the problem, if you drink too much caffeine in tea, it's a big burden on your heart. In the long run, drinking a lot of tea every day, it is strange that the blood pressure does not go up. ”
After hearing this, Lin Feng suddenly became enlightened, it turned out that his habit of drinking tea every day was probably the mastermind behind his high blood pressure.
Then, Professor Li mentioned another big pitfall: excessive dieting.
"Some people start to engage in extreme dieting in order to pursue the so-called 'healthy beauty' or to lose weight quickly, and the result is that the nutrition cannot keep up, and it may also disrupt the normal metabolism for a long time, and blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipids, etc. are like a roller coaster. ”
Thinking of the weight loss methods he had tried before in order to lose weight quickly, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart.
As for the third pit, it's the problem of overdoing it.
"Moderate exercise is good for the cardiovascular system, but if you exercise too much, especially the kind of high-intensity continuous axis non-stop exercise, the heart pressure is very high, and the blood pressure will naturally rise. ”
Only then did Lin Feng realize that sweating in the gym might not be the healthiest thing to do.
Professor Li used his rich medical knowledge and practical cases to give Lin Feng a deep understanding of these three health misunderstandings.
For example, Professor Li mentioned a patient who was originally in good health, but because of the superstition that drinking tea can maintain health, drinking more than 10 cups of tea a day not only failed to maintain health, but caused severe arrhythmia.
Lin Feng listened with relish, and he realized that health could not be achieved overnight, and required the right approach and a balanced lifestyle.
At the end of the conversation, Professor Li put forward another point that Lin Feng did not expect: "Modern people rely too much on drug treatment and ignore lifestyle adjustment. In fact, by changing living habits, many times the three highs can be controlled more effectively. ”
Lin Feng was deeply touched by these words. On the way home, he decided to re-plan his lifestyle, no longer blindly pursuing superficial regimens, but fundamentally improving his health.
Professor Li's story and opinions are not only an inspiration to Lin Feng, but also a warning to all those who pursue health: a healthy lifestyle should be scientific and moderate, rather than blindly following trends.
At the end of the story, it begs a question worth pondering: in the pursuit of health, how do we balance our diet, exercise and lifestyle habits to avoid going to the other extreme, which will harm our health?
In analysing this issue, we need to recognize that the key to a healthy lifestyle is balance.
Anything that is excessive can turn into a burden. For example, in terms of diet, a balanced diet should be adopted, neither excessive dieting nor overeating;
In terms of exercise, choose the type and intensity of exercise that suits your physical condition to avoid injuries caused by excessive exercise;
In terms of living habits, it is necessary to maintain a regular work and rest time, and arrange work and rest reasonably.
