On a sunny afternoon, Li Dashan had just stepped out of the city library, his eyes still immersed in the world of the novel he had just borrowed.
Li Dashan is a postman, and every day he rides his not-so-new but faithful bicycle through the busy streets and alleys.
Although his profession is ordinary, his passion for life and love for fiction make every day full of color. It was on this warm day that Li Dashan met his old friend, Dr. Zhou.
Dr. Chow is a retired cardiologist who has maintained his interest in medicine since retirement, often sharing health tips with his old friends.
The two sat down on a park bench and chatted about the bits and pieces of life. "Dashan, you know what? As the climate warms, so does the risk of cerebral infarction in people with high blood pressure. Some of the most inconspicuous behaviors can greatly increase health risks. ”
As he spoke, Dr. Chow pulled out a notebook from his bag with several points he wanted to share.
"Oh, for example?" asked Li Dashan curiously.
"For example, the first thing to avoid is excessive physical labor. Many people think that it is good to do more gardening and golf after retirement, but for patients with high blood pressure, excessive physical exertion can suddenly increase the burden on the heart, which may induce heart disease and even cerebral infarction. Dr. Chow elaborates that each point of view carries an important sense of mission.
"Well, I can understand that. What else?" Li Dashan nodded, he was always so direct and liked to understand the problem with a sharp point.
"The second thing to pay attention to is to avoid violent mood swings. You know, emotional agitation can lead to a drastic increase in blood pressure, which is literally playing with fire for someone who already has a history of high blood pressure. When Dr. Zhou said this, his face involuntarily showed a trace of worry.
"Ha, this is really difficult, who can guarantee that he will not be angry for the rest of his life?" Li Dashan shook his head with a smile, with a hint of banter in his voice.
"It's true, life is always challenging. And the last one, which you probably didn't expect – avoid prolonged exposure to strong sunlight. This is not just for sun protection, but also because strong sunlight can cause rapid loss of water in the body and blood concentration, which may increase the risk of blood clots. ”
Dr. Zhou's voice became more serious, and every word seemed to hit his heart hard. Li Dashan nodded, he felt that he had learned a lot today, especially these seemingly inconspicuous small details, which may have a great impact on health.
He silently thanked Dr. Zhou in his heart, and at the same time thought about how he could adjust his lifestyle. Just as the two were about to get up and leave, Li Dashan suddenly thought of a question:
"Dr. Zhou, I often have to deliver mail outside, and I inevitably have to work in the sun, what do you think I should do?"
Dr. Zhou thought for a moment, then replied, "Dashan, in your case, I recommend that you wear breathable, long-sleeved clothing as much as possible, as well as a hat and sunglasses to protect yourself. Also, remember to hydrate frequently to avoid dehydration. This does not completely avoid problems, but at least reduces risks. ”
Li Dashan nodded, and secretly wrote down these suggestions in his heart. He knew that although he was just an ordinary postman, the importance of health was irreplaceable.
He thanked Dr. Chow for sharing today, and he was glad to have such a friend who knew how to take care of himself.
