On a sunny spring morning, Zhong Hanbin was busy picking mulberries in an orchard in the suburbs, and today he was particularly lucky to pick a large basket of large, sweet mulberries.
Zhong Hanbin is a geography teacher who likes to find inspiration in nature and share his own learning.
He took home a basket full of mulberries and decided to give one to each neighbor as a way to pass on his little luck.
When he knocked on the door of his neighbor Lao Zhang, he found that Lao Zhang had just recovered and been discharged from the hospital and seemed to be in good spirits.
"Han Bin, where did you pick the mulberries? It looks so fresh!" Lao Zhang happily took the mulberries, and the two chatted at the door.
"The doctor recently told me that there are several foods that patients like me who have 'three highs' should especially avoid, including white flour steamed buns, candies, fried chicken and braised pork. Lao Zhang said seriously, and his topic immediately aroused Zhong Hanbin's interest.
Zhong Hanbin asked in surprise: "Isn't it even good to have steamed buns and braised pork? Isn't this a regular customer at our usual dinner table?"
"Yes, the doctor said that these foods have a great effect on our blood sugar and blood lipids.
You think, steamed buns, a simple carbohydrate, are easily converted into sugar, and braised pork is high in fat, and eating it for a long time is not good for cardiovascular health. Lao Zhang explained, his words made Zhong Hanbin fall into deep thought.
Chung decided to delve deeper into the topic, wondering why doctors put so much emphasis on the effects of food in patients with the "three highs."
He learned that high-sugar, high-fat foods in a regular diet produce large amounts of triglycerides and low-density lipoproteins during metabolism, which are the main culprits of accelerating arteriosclerosis.
Zhong Hanbin conducted in-depth research in his spare time and found that a number of studies have shown that by adjusting dietary habits,
Reducing the intake of these foods can significantly reduce blood pressure, blood sugar, and lipid levels, which in turn reduces the incidence of cardiovascular disease.
Zhong Hanbin also learned from the doctor that the guidelines for healthy eating in China are gradually being updated.
Encourage people to increase their intake of dietary fiber, such as whole grains and vegetables, which can help improve blood sugar control and reduce cardiovascular risk.
In addition, Zhong Hanbin found an interesting study when he reviewed the data, which mentioned that in addition to the traditional view of "high sugar and high fat",
There is also an argument that the degree of processing of food may also be a key factor in the risk of "three highs".
Processed foods often contain high levels of additives and preservatives, which can indirectly affect the body's endocrine system, thereby increasing the risk of disease.
As Zhong Hanbin deepened the topic, he began to pay attention to his eating habits, gradually reducing his intake of high-sugar and high-fat foods and adding more vegetables and whole grains.
At the end of the article, Zhong Hanbin is faced with a question: if we increase the intake of whole grains to half of our daily diet, what will be the long-term effect on the blood pressure and blood sugar levels of patients with the "three highs"?
Through in-depth research and analysis, he found the answer.
Studies have shown that whole grains are rich in dietary fiber and essential trace minerals, which can help improve blood sugar control and lower blood pressure.
People who adhere to a high-fiber diet for a long time have a faster improvement rate of "three highs" symptoms than those who eat a regular diet, and are more likely to maintain a healthy state for a longer time.
This discovery not only allowed Zhong Hanbin to find a scientific basis for his own health management, but also provided solid support for his educational practice.
