63-year-old Uncle Wang is a retired teacher, and he has always paid great attention to health preservation, and getting up early every day to exercise in the morning has become his habit for many years. However, on the day of the first anniversary of his insistence on morning exercise, a sudden illness brought his life to an abrupt end.
That day, Uncle Wang began to feel unwell, and symptoms such as cough and chest tightness occurred from time to time. At first, he didn't take it to heart, thinking it was just a common cold. It wasn't until one morning, when a violent cough made him cough up bloodshots, that Uncle Wang realized the seriousness of the situation.
Accompanied by his family, Uncle Wang came to the central hospital. After a series of tests, he was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. This bad news was like a bolt from the blue, which made Uncle Wang and his family immersed in great grief.
The attending doctor, Dr. Li, expressed regret for Uncle Wang's condition: "Uncle Wang, you love sports so much, how can you get lung cancer?"
Uncle Wang smiled bitterly: "I don't understand it either." I get up early every day to exercise and never smoke, so how did I get this disease?"
Dr. Lee sighed and said, "I looked at your medical records and you did make a few common mistakes. "
There are three main problems:
First, the time and place of exercise are not appropriate. Early morning and evening are the worst times of the day when air pollution is at its worst, especially in cities, where concentrations of pollutants such as vehicle exhaust and industrial exhaust are high. Long-term exercise in this environment may harm lung health.
Second, the intensity of the exercise is not very reasonable. Excessive strenuous exercise can cause alveolar rupture, increasing the burden on the lungs. Especially for seniors like you, you should choose exercises with moderate intensity, such as brisk walking, tai chi, etc., and should not be too strenuous and not too vigorous.
Third, health preservation is important, but more important is regular physical examination. Many diseases have no obvious symptoms in the early stage, and can only be detected early through physical examination. If lung cancer is detected earlier, surgery and treatment may be able to prolong life.
Uncle Wang shed tears of remorse: "I was too careless, I always thought that I was in good health, so I neglected the physical examination." It's too late to regret it now. "
Dr. Li shook Uncle Wang's hand and said, "Uncle Wang, your experience is a wake-up call for all of us. A healthy lifestyle is important, but it's science-based. We need to learn to listen to the body's voice, have regular check-ups, and detect and treat early. Only in this way can we truly live a healthy and beautiful old age. "
Despite the careful care of his family and doctors, Uncle Wang passed away.
Health preservation is not blind, but requires scientific guidance.
While exercise is good for your health, it can be counterproductive if you go too far. Choosing the right time, place and intensity of exercise can truly achieve the purpose of strengthening the body.
At the same time, we must also be wary of the "health trap". Some seemingly healthy lifestyles, if left unchecked, can become "killers" that endanger health. For health problems, we must learn to look at them rationally, analyze them from a scientific perspective, and not blindly follow them.
Finally, regular medical check-ups are everyone's health obligations. Many diseases are difficult to detect in the early stage, and only through professional physical examination can they be detected early, so as to gain valuable treatment opportunities. We must establish the health concept of "prevention first, move the threshold forward", and take the initiative to take responsibility for our own body.
In short, health is a kind of wisdom that needs to be cared for with reason and science. From now on, let's abandon health misunderstandings, learn correct health knowledge, and defend our health rights and interests with practical actions.
I believe that as long as we take precautions, we will be able to harvest a healthy and beautiful life!
