In a bustling supermarket, Dr. Huang has just finished explaining to a puzzled customer: "Eating too much before bed, overusing the brain, and mood swings can all be hidden dangers." "
At this time, a middle school history teacher named Zhou Hua happened to put a bag of organic spinach in his shopping cart when he heard Dr. Huang's words.
Zhou Hua noticed that many people around him are also buying this kind of organic vegetables that are advertised as healthy.
Curiosity drove him, and he began to talk to an old gentleman next to him.
Mr. Lao claimed to be a retired psychology professor with a wealth of research on healthy living.
During the conversation, Zhou Hua mentioned that he often felt dizzy recently, and occasionally had temporary memory loss.
The professor laughed and said that it may have a lot to do with lifestyle habits.
As the conversation progressed, the professor explained in detail some seemingly harmless habits in daily life that are extremely detrimental to brain health. He mentioned that with the aging of society, more and more people have joined the ranks of cerebral infarction patients.
This couldn't help but make Zhou Hua question his lifestyle.
3 things to avoid before bedtime and be careful of damaging the brain
First of all, the professor pointed out that using electronic devices before bed is a very bad habit for brain health.
Staring at a screen for long periods of time increases the excitability of the cerebral cortex, delaying the time it takes for the brain to enter a resting state.
Studies have shown that constant light stimulation and information overload can lead to nerve cell dysfunction, which may increase the risk of cerebral infarction in the long run.
Secondly, overthinking before bed, especially at work, can put the brain in a state of high tension, which is a hidden challenge to both blood pressure and the heart.
Persistent cardiovascular hypertension is one of the direct causes of cerebral infarction.
Third, overeating before bedtime.
The professor pointed out that eating too much at dinner, especially greasy or high-calorie food before going to bed, will cause the body to need too much energy to digest these foods at night, which not only affects the quality of sleep, but also increases the burden on the cardiovascular system.
In the long run, it may lead to blockage of blood vessels, which in turn may lead to cerebral infarction.
Zhou Hua was deeply inspired after hearing this, and he felt that he did have these bad habits in his daily life.
The professor also mentioned some specific cases, such as an entrepreneur who was busy with work all year round and always worked late at night, suddenly felt a severe headache after a dinner, and was subsequently diagnosed with cerebral infarction.
This made Zhou Hua pay more attention to his health.
At the end of the conversation, the professor specifically mentioned that although many people are aware of the above health common sense, in reality very few people are able to strictly follow it.
He also cited a survey of 10,000 adults that showed that about 70% of respondents admitted that their bedtime habits were far from ideal, which was directly reflected in their cerebrovascular health.
Over time, Zhou Hua realized that these seemingly ordinary little things actually had a profound impact on health.
Inspired by his professor, he decided to adjust his bedtime routine from today and try to avoid behaviors that could cause damage to the brain.
But this begs the question:
In modern society, people are generally facing such pressure on work and life, do they really have the ability to change their living habits?
In this regard, we need to analyze in detail the challenges of modern life and how individuals can effectively manage their health while maintaining social and professional responsibilities.
