"Lao Li, how did you do this?"
The doctor took the examination report, and his glasses were about to fall off, and he was so surprised that he couldn't do it. Uncle Li, 64 years old, was a postman before retiring, riding a bicycle all day long, rain and wind. After retirement, in addition to running around the community every morning and playing chess with friends in the afternoon, his life can be described as very nourishing.
However, Uncle Li has a problem, that is, he likes to study those "health secrets". No, in the first three months, he had a whim to eat two kiwis every day after meals. He said that he heard it on a health program, and it was said that it could "wash the intestines and protect the liver", and he believed it.
After three months, Uncle Li really felt that his body had changed a lot. I wake up every day and feel much better. No, when I came to the hospital for a physical examination today, even the doctor was stunned.
"Lao Zhang, let me tell you, this kiwi is really a treasure. Uncle Li said proudly while adjusting his glasses. Doctor Lao Zhang looked at the report, Uncle Li's blood pressure and blood sugar returned to the normal range, and even the gastritis that had plagued him for a long time was much better.
"Yes, Lao Li, your blood lipid indicators are better than me, a doctor who sits in the office all year round. Lao Zhang sighed, this was indeed beyond his expectations. He originally thought that Uncle Li's daily study of health secrets was mostly a whim of the elderly, and the effect might not be significant.
But as it turned out, Lao Zhang was wrong. As a fruit rich in vitamin C, vitamin E, potassium and fiber, long-term consumption of kiwifruit can indeed improve human health to a certain extent. Especially for middle-aged and elderly people like Uncle Li, who have mild hypertension and gastritis problems, it is a good daily health food.
However, as a doctor, Lao Zhang knows that nothing can be 100% beneficial, and there are always some side effects or things that need attention. He began to explain the nutritional value of kiwifruit in detail.
"Lao Li, do you know? The reason why kiwifruit can have such an effect is because it is very rich in antioxidants, such as vitamin C and vitamin E. We all know that vitamin C can enhance the body's immunity and prevent cardiovascular diseases. As for vitamin E, it is a strong antioxidant that can protect cells from oxidation and delay aging. ”
Lao Zhang also mentioned a point of knowledge that is usually easy to ignore. "In addition to vitamins C and E, kiwifruit also contains a substance called 'bioflavonoids'," he said. This substance is beneficial to the human body, such as lowering blood pressure and improving blood lipid levels. ”
Uncle Li listened with relish and nodded from time to time. Lao Zhang looked at him and felt a little proud in his heart. Over the years, he has seen many patients, but it is really rare for someone like Uncle Li to have such a big improvement by changing his eating habits.
"Then should I continue to persevere?" Uncle Li suddenly asked a question, which seemed simple, but it was actually very practical.
Lao Zhang adjusted his glasses and said seriously: "Of course, but I want to remind you that nothing should be excessive. Although kiwifruit is good, it should not be eaten too much. ”
"Because it is rich in potassium, if consumed in excess, it can be a certain risk for people with renal insufficiency. So, my advice is to keep your current consumption at two per day, and that's fine. ”
