Preface
Grandma Li is an 80-year-old woman who has a habit that many people find incredible – drinking several large cups of strong tea every day.
This habit has been going on for decades, but recently it has attracted a lot of attention from families and doctors.
It all started three months ago.
That day, Grandma Li, as usual, made a big pot of strong tea and watched TV while drinking. Suddenly, she felt dizzy, her heart raced, and she had trouble breathing. Seeing this, her family rushed her to the hospital.
The doctor did a series of tests on Grandma Li and found that her blood pressure was as high as 180/120mmHg, which was far beyond the normal range. The doctor was very surprised because Grandma Li's blood pressure had been stable before.
The doctor carefully inquired about Grandma Li's living habits and learned that she had been in the habit of drinking strong tea for decades. The doctor couldn't help but ask, "Grandma Li, do you know that drinking strong tea for a long time will cause harm to your body?"
Grandma Li smiled and said, "Doctor, I've been drinking strong tea for decades, haven't I always been in good health?" Besides, doesn't drinking tea have many benefits, such as preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, anti-aging, or something. "
The doctor sighed and patiently explained, "Grandma Li, drinking tea does have certain health benefits, but only in moderation.
If you drink a large amount of strong tea for a long time, the caffeine in the tea will stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, accelerate the heartbeat, and raise blood pressure.
Moreover, strong tea can affect iron absorption, which may lead to iron deficiency anemia in the long term. What's more, the tannic acid in tea will bind to the protein in the food, interfere with digestion and absorption, and will be malnourished in the long run. "
After listening to the doctor's words, Grandma Li nodded as if she didn't understand. The doctor continued: "Your current condition is already dangerous, and I advise you to get rid of the habit of drinking strong tea as soon as possible, and it is best to replace the tea with light flower tea or plain water.
In addition, you should also eat more high-protein, high-iron foods, such as lean meat, fish, eggs, soy products, etc. "
Grandma Li agreed to the doctor's advice.
After being discharged from the hospital, under the careful care of her family, Grandma Li got rid of the bad habit of drinking strong tea, began to drink light tea or boiled water, and her diet became more nutritious and balanced.
A month later, Grandma Li's blood pressure had returned to normal and her anemia symptoms had improved.
One day three months later, Grandma Li came to the hospital again, but this time not to see a doctor, but to thank the doctor.
She said excitedly, "Doctor, I am so grateful to you, you not only cured my illness, but also gave me a healthy lifestyle."
Now I feel more energetic and in a better mood every day, and I don't have to worry about my blood pressure anymore. "
The doctor smiled and said, "Grandma Li, the most important thing is that you can realize the problem and actively cooperate with the treatment."
I wish you good health, peace and joy in the future!"
Grandma Li's story has given us a lot of inspiration. Long-term bad lifestyle habits will bury hidden health risks to the body. A lot of people
Thinking that you have always been in good health, you take it lightly, but you don't know that the danger is accumulating little by little.
In addition, we also need to learn to discern health knowledge on the Internet. Many people blindly believe in the saying "drinking tea for health", but ignore the risks of excessive and long-term consumption of strong tea.
Any health regimen should follow the principle of "moderation", and it is too much.
Finally, we need to establish a correct concept of health. True health is not the absence of disease, but the perfection of body and mind.
A balanced diet, moderate exercise, and a happy mood are the foundations of a healthy and long life.
Grandma Li's experience warns us not to wait for illness to come.
Let's start now, cultivate healthy habits, cherish every day, and live a wonderful and meaningful life!
