"The temperature is so high that it's really bad for the condition of the skin. ”
In the consultation room, the doctor frowned and looked at the patient in front of him, 56-year-old Li Dawei.
Li Dawei had many unknown small red rashes on his body, which not only looked itchy and unbearable, but also made him quite anxious.
Li Dawei is an actuary, and in addition to calculating various data on the computer every day, he also discusses the rise and fall of the stock market with his colleagues.
Regular life, never gluttonous, go to bed on time every day, get up on time, and the importance of health can be seen.
However, he discovered an abnormality in his skin on this hot summer day.
"It may be that the weather has been too hot recently, and the skin's perspiration function has been blocked, resulting in some small rashes. ”
Detect signs of stroke
The doctor's words made Li Dawei breathe a sigh of relief, but this is not the end of the story.
Further examination shocked Li Dawei - he actually had the early signs of a stroke.
This surprised both the doctor and Li Dawei.
Li Dawei has always regarded himself as a model of health, but he never thought that he would have such a problem.
After an in-depth analysis, the doctor found that although Li Dawei followed most health norms in his life, there were still several common misconceptions that he did not notice.
3 mistakes should be corrected early
First of all, although Li Dawei has a light diet, he ignores the diversity and balance of his diet.
He has been eating only low-fat foods for a long time, neglecting the intake of healthy fats such as omega-3 fatty acids.
Long-term deficiency of these fatty acids may lead to a decrease in the elasticity of blood vessels, increasing the risk of stroke.
Secondly, Li Dawei's work is extremely stressful.
Although he maintains a regular routine, prolonged mental stress and a high level of concentration on data put him in a state of chronic stress.
Chronic stress has been shown to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, including high blood pressure and heart disease, which are important risk factors for stroke.
Third, although Li Dawei has the habit of going to bed early and waking up early, in fact, his sleep quality is not ideal.
Studies have shown that poor sleep quality is a significant factor in cardiovascular problems.
Li Dawei often woke up at night, and often dreamed during sleep, which led to poor energy the next day.
Through this examination, the doctor advised Li Dawei to adjust his eating habits to appropriately increase omega-3 rich foods such as salmon and walnuts, learn relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or yoga to reduce work stress, and improve the sleeping environment to ensure adequate and high-quality sleep at night.
To further illustrate these points, the doctor also singled out a number of related cases
For example, a programmer who often works overtime until late at night eventually leads to acute myocardial infarction due to chronic sleep deprivation and a high-fat diet.
These cases highlight the significant impact of lifestyle habits on health.
This in-depth discussion inspired Li Dawei.
He realized that even seemingly healthy behaviors in everyday life can hide health risks.
The doctor's words were like a fresh wind, blowing away the fog in his heart.
Over the next few months, Mr. Li began to implement his doctor's recommendations.
He adjusted his diet, started taking yoga classes, and instead of using electronic devices before bed, he chose to read to relax.
Through this experience, David not only improved his quality of life, but also actively spread his new findings in his social circle, hoping to help more people realize the health risks that have been overlooked in their lives.
We often think that health is simply about eating well and sleeping well, but in fact, real health is a comprehensive state that includes diet, psychology and physiology.
Lee's story reminds us that even seemingly innocuous habits need to be constantly reviewed and adjusted.
Now, what we need to think about is, if a person's lifestyle habits are already very healthy, what else do they need to do to further reduce the risk of chronic diseases?
This may seem like a simple question, but it actually encompasses a wide range of medical and lifestyle considerations.
Through detailed analysis and discussion, we may be able to find more possibilities to prevent chronic diseases.
