In a remote town, there lives an old man named Uncle Wang, who usually lives a regular life and eats lightly, and is a typical health expert.
Every morning, he would get up early, do some simple morning exercises, and then sit in his small courtyard, sipping tea and enjoying a quiet time.
However, recently, Uncle Wang's health has been getting worse day by day, he feels low energy, his appetite is not good, and he often feels tired, which makes him feel very confused. Uncle Wang was afraid that something was wrong with his body, so he hurriedly asked his son to take him to a big hospital in the county.
The doctor carefully examined Uncle Wang, and the results shocked Uncle Wang: his body showed some signs of malnutrition, especially some important indicators were low, and the reason was that he had been eating habits for a while.
In the face of the doctor's diagnosis, Uncle Wang was stunned for a moment, he usually pays great attention to diet and health, how can this happen? The doctor saw the expression on Uncle Wang's face, guessed the puzzlement in Uncle Wang's heart, and answered them for him one by one.
Doctors say that most people think this way, thinking that they usually eat lighter food, they will think that it is all healthier food, and this is often a fatal mistake.
He specifically mentioned some vegetables, although in most people's hearts vegetables are only good for us, there is no harm, but if you eat too much or improper combination, it can also have adverse effects on the body.
First of all, it is the vegetable that can be seen everywhere in our lives - cabbage. Cabbage contains a component called thiocyanate, if you eat cabbage for a long time, it will have some bad effects on the thyroid gland, resulting in hypothyroidism, also known as hypothyroidism, which is an endocrine disease.
For some people who already have thyroid problems, it is especially cautious to consume cabbage.
Then, the common spinach was mentioned. Spinach is rich in oxalic acid, and long-term consumption of a large amount of it will lead to excessive oxalate in the body, the formation of stones, causing kidney stones and other problems, and bringing hidden dangers to health.
In addition, the doctor also gave special emphasis to bitter melon. Although bitter gourd is beneficial to lower blood sugar and blood lipids, there are too many bitter components in it, and if you eat too much, it is easy to hurt the gastric mucosa and cause digestive problems such as gastritis.
The doctor finally concluded that for the elderly, a light diet is certainly good for health, but it is also necessary to pay attention to a reasonable combination and avoid excessive consumption of certain vegetables, so as not to bring unnecessary burden to the body.
Uncle Wang listened to the doctor's explanation and suddenly realized. It turned out that I hadn't realized it all along, and I thought that everything would be fine if I had a light diet, but I didn't expect that there would be so much exquisiteness.
He is determined to pay attention to the diet in the future, and no longer blindly think that a light diet is health, but pursue a balanced diet to make his body healthier.
Uncle Wang came home and immediately decided to change his living habits, and he decided to increase the variety of vegetable options to avoid excessive intake of a single ingredient.
So, he began to pay attention to the combination of food, and tried to match different colors of vegetables with each meal to ensure a balanced intake of various nutrients.
With Uncle Wang's efforts, his physical condition gradually improved, and his mental state became better and better. He sighed: "It turns out that a healthy diet is not only good to eat light, the key is to have a reasonable match!"
This story tells us that eating healthy does not only mean eating lightly, but more importantly, it is necessary to mix and diversify nutrients. Only in this way can the body be kept healthy and energetic.
