"You two started again?" In the hospital ward, Dr. Li looked helplessly at the post-70s couple in front of him, who were handing each other fruits while watching TV series, completely ignoring Dr. Li's existence.
The couple, Zhang Qiang and Li Mei, are a middle school teacher and a bank clerk respectively. Within a month, the two were admitted to the hospital for cerebral infarction, which was the first time in Dr. Li's career.
Zhang Qiang and Li Mei's living habits look like ordinary people: they wake up at 7 a.m. and go to bed at 9 p.m. after a busy day. They are non-smokers and drink very limited amounts of alcohol, except for the occasional small potluck.
However, they have two common hobbies, and these two seemingly harmless hobbies have made them fall into the trap of cerebral infarction at the same time. First of all, they love to stay up late to watch TV series, especially the kind of dramas with ups and downs and complex plots. Every weekend, the two stock up on snacks for a series-marathon.
Although they know the dangers of staying up late, for them, immersing themselves in the virtual plot world, temporarily forgetting the pressure of work and the trivial things of life, is an inseparable pleasure.
Secondly, they both like to eat spicy food. Whether it's home-cooked or eating out, they can always find a reason to spice things up. Even though Dr. Li repeatedly reminded them that spicy food may increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, they still went their own way and did not take it seriously.
After being exposed to a large number of similar cases, Dr. Li discovered an unexpected point: in some cases, people's pursuit of small pleasures in life can unknowingly harm their health.
Although on the surface, watching TV dramas and eating chili peppers seem to have nothing to do with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, in the long run, these habits will quietly change people's biological clocks and affect the body's metabolic mechanisms, thereby increasing the risk of diseases.
The story of Zhang Qiang and Li Mei is a vivid example. Staying up late to watch dramas greatly reduces their sleep quality, and long-term lack of sleep will lead to metabolic disorders in the body and increase blood pressure, thereby increasing the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
The love of spicy food may lead to damage to the gastric mucosa, and long-term irritation may also cause gastritis and even gastric ulcers, which in turn will indirectly affect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health.
In the process of dealing with Zhang Qiang and Li Mei's cases, Dr. Li not only provided them with a professional treatment plan, but also analyzed their living habits in depth, and tried to fundamentally help them improve their health.
He explained to Zhang Qiang and Li Mei the potential effects of staying up late and eating too much chili pepper on their health. Dr. Li also mentioned other cases, such as a programmer who often worked overtime late into the night, and a food blogger who had to eat spicy food at almost every meal. He argues that long-term risks are easily ignored as long as they are not immediately visible.
They began to try to adjust their lifestyle habits, such as limiting the amount of time they watched TV dramas each day, reducing their intake of spicy food, and increasing the frequency of physical exercise.
These changes were uncomfortable at first, but they soon saw positive results. Dr. Li's unique view that small pleasures in life can inadvertently harm health is vividly reflected in Zhang Qiang and Li Mei.
In the pursuit of quality of life, how do we find the balance between health and fun? First of all, understanding and recognizing the health risks that certain lifestyle habits may bring is the foundation.
Next, we should learn to make a reasonable life plan, such as reasonable work and rest time, adequate sleep, moderate physical activity, and a balanced diet. Finally, maintaining a positive mindset is also crucial to finding the right balance between health and fun
Through these specific strategies and methods, we can not only enjoy the pleasures that life brings, but also maintain the health of our bodies and achieve the perfect balance between quality of life and health.
