"Zhang Wei, is your back pain better?" said Mrs. Huang on crutches as she shouted to Zhang Wei across the street.
Zhang Wei is a plumber, busy tinkering on weekdays, but today his back hurts so badly that he had to stop his work and sit on a stool on the side of the road to catch his breath. Hearing Aunt Huang's concern, he shook his head with a wry smile: "Auntie, it's getting more and more serious in the past two days, and I don't know what to eat." ”
When Aunt Huang heard this, she quickly took out a plastic bag from her handbag and handed it to Zhang Wei: "This is my steamed steamed bun at home, you can take it and eat some, maybe you can replenish some energy." Zhang Wei took the steamed bun, but asked hesitantly: "Auntie, I heard that eating too many steamed buns will raise blood sugar, which is in my case..."
Aunt Huang smiled and sat down to tell Zhang Wei a little medical knowledge. It turned out that Mrs. Huang was a doctor when she was young and knew all about these homely health problems.
"You're right, steamed bread is indeed a high-sugar food, especially for people with poor blood sugar control, it is true that you should eat less. But did you know that there are things that seem to have nothing to do with blood sugar, but they actually have a huge impact on our health. For example, your current back pain may be related to your usual eating habits. Zhang Wei looked at Aunt Huang suspiciously, not understanding how the back pain was related to the diet.
Mrs. Huang continued to explain: "For example, what many people don't know is that some seemingly harmless foods that are often eaten, such as raw and cold food at night, will actually affect the operation of the stomach and intestines, and then affect the body's metabolism and blood circulation, and over time, it may cause waist pain. Also, for example, common processed meat products contain high amounts of phosphate, which is very bad for bone health. ”
"So you see, these seemingly inconspicuous foods actually have a direct impact on our physical health. Take your back pain, for example, it may be caused by the eating habits accumulated over the years. If you can adjust your diet, reduce the intake of these foods, and exercise properly, your back pain may improve. ”
Aunt Huang's words made Zhang Wei's eyes light up, and he nodded: "Auntie, then I have a back pain, in addition to eating less steamed buns and processed food, do you have any good suggestions?"
Mrs. Huang thought for a while, and then said, "Actually, it is also important to eat more foods rich in vitamin D and calcium. These can help improve the condition of osteoporosis and reduce the burden on the lower back. Also, try to maintain a good sleeping position and avoid working in the same position for long periods of time, these are some tips to help reduce back pain. ”
Zhang Wei wrote it down carefully and thanked Mrs. Huang for her suggestion. Aunt Huang looked at the back of Zhang Wei leaving, and secretly hoped that he would recover soon. She knows that even though she has been retired for many years, these small helpers can make a difference in the lives of others, which makes her feel very fulfilled and happy.
A few days later, Zhang Wei found that even after adjusting his diet, the problem of back pain still bothered him. On this day, he met Mrs. Huang again, and asked her for further questions.
"Auntie, according to what you said, I reduced the intake of processed foods and raw and cold foods, and tried to eat some foods rich in calcium and vitamin D at night, but the back pain still hasn't improved much, what's going on?"
After hearing this, Aunt Huang nodded, she knew that Zhang Wei's confusion was very common, so she explained in detail: "Actually, there are many causes of back pain, in addition to diet and living habits, it may also be related to your work environment. ”
"You're a plumber and you have to bend over or stand up all day long, which puts a lot of pressure on your lower back. In fact, in addition to dietary adjustments, you also need to pay attention to your posture and rest at work. ”
She continued: "I've seen quite a few cases like yours. In addition to adjusting their diet, I usually advise these patients to do regular exercises for their lower back, such as swimming or doing some lower back stretching exercises. These activities can help strengthen the lower back muscles and reduce the burden on the lumbar spine. ”
Zhang Wei listened very carefully, and he realized that adjusting his diet alone was not enough to solve all his problems, and he needed to combine physical activity and correct work posture to improve his condition in an all-round way.
Mrs. Huang continued: "In addition, you may not know that prolonged mental stress can also affect the body's perception of pain. When a person is in a state of stress, the body secretes some hormones that increase the sensation of pain. Therefore, proper relaxation and stress reduction are also very important. ”
Zhang Wei realized that the improvement of low back pain is not only as simple as diet and exercise, but also involves all aspects of life. He said to Mrs. Huang gratefully: "Auntie, you are so experienced, I will try these methods you said, I hope to feel better as soon as possible." ”
Aunt Huang smiled and waved her hand, indicating that she just did what she should do. She watched Zhang Wei embark on the way home, and secretly hoped that he could find a suitable relief method for himself through these comprehensive measures and recover his health as soon as possible.
