"Oh, Aunt Li, have you heard? Aunt Wang just ate coarse grains and drank strong tea every day before she was sent to the hospital!" In the gazebo of the community, Aunt Zhao threw an amazing topic to the neighbors who were exercising in the morning.
The news was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, sparking a lively discussion about healthy eating habits. Aunt Wang has always been proud of her healthy life and insists on eating whole grains and drinking tea, but why did she induce heart failure?
1. Eat a healthy diet
The pros and cons of whole grains: Whole grains are a health star in the minds of many people, especially because they are rich in dietary fiber, like a cleaner in the intestines.
Diligently helping us get rid of excess fat and cholesterol is good for weight loss and heart disease prevention. However, coarse grains are also a double-edged sword, and if you eat the wrong amount, it will become the "tip of the sword" that hurts yourself.
If we are too addicted to eating whole grains, it will make our digestive system a little "unbearable". Excessive dietary fiber will increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, make the gastrointestinal tract move too violently, and is not conducive to the full absorption of nutrients.
The sweet trap of tea: Tea, as a part of traditional Chinese culture, is deeply loved by the public, not only because of its elegant fragrance, but also because the antioxidants in tea are masters of anti-aging and free radical scavenging.
However, let's not forget that behind every tea leaf there is an "activist". Although it's good to drink tea, you can't be greedy!
Drinking a lot of tea, especially if you don't eat it in moderation throughout the day, can easily lead to an overintake of ingredients. This is not a good thing for friends with heart problems.
Excessive ingredients will act like a small motor, causing the heart to beat involuntarily, and over time, the heart will be overloaded, which may become the fuse of a heart attack.
2. Individual differences
Diet varies from person to person: everyone has a different constitution and has different levels of tolerance to food. Even foods and beverages that are generally considered healthy can have very different effects depending on individual differences.
We need to understand and respect individual nutritional needs and avoid blindly following trends.
Eat a balanced diet under the guidance of a doctor: For patients with heart failure, they should follow the principle of low salt and low fat, and consume water in moderation.
Professional advice from doctors is essential to design a personalized diet plan that takes into account the nutritional needs and health risks of the patient.
Aunt Wang's experience was a wake-up call, and she later adjusted her eating habits and reduced her intake of whole grains under the guidance of her doctor.
Choose lighter green tea instead of strong tea, and strictly adhere to the principle of a low-salt and low-fat diet. Over the course of a few months, her physical condition improved significantly, proving once again the importance of a sensible diet.
Her story has also made more people realize that the pursuit of health is not the same as being overly dependent on a certain food or drink, but on the basis of a comprehensive understanding of one's own health status, it is necessary to achieve scientific matching and moderate intake.
"Things must be reversed, and it is too much. This ancient precept has been profoundly confirmed in the story of Aunt Wang. Healthy eating is not simply "eat more, eat less", but learn to be flexible and scientific.
Although coarse grains and tea are good, the key is "moderation". Only by finding a diet that suits your body can you truly achieve your health goals and stay away from health misunderstandings. The next time we pick up a teacup and chopsticks, think more about this wisdom of balance and moderation.
