There is a 49-year-old uncle named Li Jianguo. He was a postman who rode his vintage bicycle every day, rain or shine, delivering letters.
Li Jianguo looks no different from ordinary people, he loves life and works diligently, but he has two "deadly" hobbies - he loves high-salt food and often stays up late watching TV series.
We all know that Li Jianguo has quit smoking for more than a year, and after quitting smoking, he seems very proud, and he always likes to share his health achievements in the circle of friends.
But one day, a year after he quit smoking, an unexpected thing happened - he died of a heart attack. Here's the thing, Li Jianguo is a person who naturally likes to eat heavy things.
Salted fish, salted meat, pickled vegetables, these high-salt foods he loves very much. Moreover, I don't sleep at night, and I always stay up until two or three o'clock in the middle of the night before going to bed, just to catch up on dramas.
He felt that this kind of life was delicious, and after quitting smoking, he felt much healthier, so he indulged himself even more. But Li Jianguo didn't know that the two bad habits of high-salt food and staying up late have long-term and subtle damage to the cardiovascular system.
Doctors know that high-salt foods can increase blood pressure, and long-term high-salt diets can also increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Staying up late can interfere with the body's biological clock, affecting heart function and blood pressure regulation.
This heart attack is the result of years of accumulation of bad habits. Although Li Jianguo quit smoking, he ignored other, more important health factors.
It also reminds us that developing good habits is not something that happens overnight, but requires all-round and sustained efforts. Speaking of this heart attack, it actually has a little to do with Li Jianguo's work.
As a postman, although he has been exercising outdoors all year round, long-term physical labor coupled with irregular diet and rest is actually a hidden danger of cardiovascular disease.
Although his work pressure is not great, he will be overwhelmed by being outside for a long time, exposed to the wind and sun. Interestingly, Li Jianguo's doctor is a very individual person.
When he treats Li Jianguo, he always likes to use strange metaphors to explain medical problems. For example, he would say, "Your veins are like the traffic in Beijing, too much oil and salt is like rush hour, and the car can't move." ”
And now, everyone is saying that quitting smoking is a good thing, but other health issues can't be ignored. is like Li Jianguo, who blindly focused on quitting smoking, but neglected diet and rest, and finally failed to escape the clutches of health.
Finally, after Li Jianguo's death, a relative found his medical records while disposing of his belongings. There is a question in the record that relatives are curious to know the answer: "Why am I at such a high risk of heart attack even if I quit smoking?"
In answering this question, the doctor said, "You see, quitting smoking does reduce many health risks, such as lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. ”
"But quitting smoking doesn't immediately solve the accumulation of bad lifestyle habits over the years. For heart disease in particular, the negative effects of high-salt foods and staying up late may negate some of the benefits of quitting. ”
"And, weight gain may occur after quitting smoking, and weight gain may also increase the risk of heart disease if proper diet control and exercise are not practiced. ”
So, this is Li Jianguo's story, and it is also a reminder about health. We can learn from this that we can pay attention to health, not just walk on one leg, but work hard in many ways at the same time, so that we can truly move towards health.
