"Your liver function is abnormal and needs further testing. The doctor's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, which made Li Mei's heart sink.
She is a typical urban working woman, working as a creative director for a well-known advertising agency.
Although she is 60 years old, Li Mei insists on running in the morning every day, pays great attention to her diet, and never drinks alcohol.
When she saw a lot of elderly people with limited mobility on the bus, she secretly decided to stay away from these diseases through exercise and a healthy lifestyle.
However, the reality doesn't seem to be as rosy as she imagined.
Li Mei made an appointment for a comprehensive medical examination, but unexpectedly discovered a potential health crisis.
Cirrhosis is undoubtedly a huge blow to a person like her who has a regular daily life and does not drink alcohol.
The doctor continues: "Although you don't drink alcohol, you may have foods high in fat and sugar in your diet, which are also causes of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, which can develop into cirrhosis in the long run. ”
Li Mei suddenly realized that although she did not drink alcohol, she did not pay special attention to the fat and sugar in her food, and often chose takeout for convenience, and takeaway was often too high in fat and sugar.
The results of further examinations made Li Mei even more worried, her fatty liver was already more serious, and there was indeed a problem with liver function.
The doctor advised her to adjust her diet immediately and to take medication.
After this, Li Mei began to seriously study and implement a healthy lifestyle.
She cut down on the frequency of take-outs and opted instead to cook her own food to ensure that the food was healthy and nutritionally balanced.
At the same time, she also began to focus more on the composition of her food, especially controlling the fat and sugar in her food.
Li Mei's condition improved in the days that followed, but this health crisis gave her a big warning.
She realized that exercise alone doesn't guarantee full health, and the quality of her diet is just as important.
Although this check-up shocked her, it also made her start to pay more attention to her eating habits. With the improvement of her eating habits, Li Mei not only lost weight, but also significantly improved her liver function indicators.
She began to educate those around her about the importance of healthy eating, hoping to help more people become aware of the risks of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Through this experience, Li Mei deeply realized that a healthy lifestyle is not only about exercising, but also about daily diet control, and that due to the lack of attention to food ingredients, she also faces health risks.
At the end of the story, we can't help but wonder if Li Mei's health would have been different if she had realized the importance of food ingredients earlier?
This question also makes us wonder if we have neglected the basic quality of our diet in our pursuit of a healthy lifestyle and focused only on exercising or avoiding obvious bad habits such as drinking.
How to ensure that every meal is good for health in the fast pace of modern life is a question that deserves to be explored in depth by all.
