"This time it's really not ordinary gastroenteritis. The doctor frowned, looked at the report that had just finished a series of examinations, and then turned to the patient sitting in front of him, Li Ming.
Li Ming, a network engineer who is usually optimistic and humorous, has to deal with all kinds of greasy business banquets frequently because of his high work pressure and often going out for socials.
Today, the temperature has risen sharply, and he feels that his appetite is low, so he only eats some snacks at a street stall for lunch.
After returning home at night, the stomach pain was unbearable, accompanied by severe diarrhea, and finally had no choice but to go to the hospital.
In the hospital, after a series of detailed examinations, the doctor found a problem that Li Ming did not expect: although his weight was not high, his body fat percentage was abnormal, and the accumulation of visceral fat was serious, a state known as "invisible obesity".
What was even more shocking was that Li Ming's blood test showed a slight increase in his cancer markers.
"Many people think that only obese people need to worry about the risk of cancer, but in fact, the risk of cancer in people with hidden obesity cannot be ignored. ”
The doctor explained that the danger hidden behind this seemingly thin body shape was no less serious.
In order to solve this problem, doctors specifically point out two lifestyle habits that must be changed: a balanced diet and regular exercise.
First of all, regarding a balanced diet, Li Ming needs to completely adjust his diet.
Socializing is unavoidable, but he can choose healthier foods and reduce the intake of greasy and high-calorie foods.
Doctors advised him to eat more fiber-rich foods such as whole grains, vegetables and fruits, which can not only help reduce the accumulation of visceral fat, but also provide adequate nutrients to enhance the body's ability to fight cancer.
Secondly, regular exercise is essential to prevent invisible obesity.
Li Ming should do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, such as brisk walking, swimming, or cycling.
This not only reduces the accumulation of fat, but also boosts metabolism and strengthens muscles, which effectively reduces the risk of cancer.
The doctor also mentioned several specific patient cases to emphasize the importance of lifestyle changes.
For example, Zhang Hua, who is also an IT practitioner, gradually accumulated body fat due to prolonged sitting, and although he looked thin, he actually suffered from severe visceral hyperfat.
By exercising consistently and improving her diet, Zhang's health has improved significantly, and cancer markers in her body have also decreased.
In addition to this, the doctor cited a study involving 10,000 people who were visibly obese, which showed that a balanced diet and regular exercise were effective in reducing the incidence of cancer in this group of people.
The study highlights that while these people don't look fat on the outside, the health risks on their inside are also not negligible.
After the doctor's detailed explanations and recommendations, Li Ming realized the seriousness of the problem and decided to start changing his lifestyle from now on.
Through Li Ming's story, we can see that seemingly unrelated lifestyle habits are actually closely related to our long-term health.
In our daily lives, we may rarely associate "thinness" with "cancer", and it is our inner health that matters most, regardless of our appearance.
The question at the end is: In today's fast-paced lifestyle, how can people effectively find the balance between a balanced diet and exercise in their busy work and life?
In this regard, we need to deeply analyze the difficulties of modern life and come up with practical strategies.
For example, you can use a health management app to track your diet and exercise and set specific goals.
At the same time, businesses and governments should provide more support and convenience, such as healthy meal options in the workplace and the provision of sports facilities, which are effective ways to help modern people better manage their health.
