Wang Fang is a bank clerk and is 37 years old. In the eyes of others, she is a full health expert: she never stays up late and works overtime, insists on going to bed early and getting up early; Eat a light and nutritious diet, stay away from tobacco, alcohol and caffeine; In his spare time, he has a wide range of hobbies, and often participates in fitness activities such as yoga and swimming. But just last week, she was always full of vitality, but she suddenly fainted on the way to work and died after being sent to the hospital.
"How could Xiao Wang die suddenly? She usually pays so much attention to health preservation, and her health has always been very good. Colleague Li Ping couldn't believe the bad news.
"Yes, I was still a healthy person during the physical examination last week, how can I say that it is gone?" Another colleague, Lao Zhang, was also puzzled.
The autopsy report from the hospital came out quickly. The forensic doctor sighed: "Wang Fang was caused by sudden cardiac death and cardiac arrest. She has atherosclerosis and thrombosis in her coronary arteries, and she may not have obvious symptoms such as angina, but a trigger suddenly triggers a fatal arrhythmia. It's a pity that the best rescue opportunity was missed. "
Everyone discussed: "Xiao Wang's family has no history of heart disease, how can she get coronary heart disease as a young man?" That's right, Xiao Wang's life is so healthy and he exercises so diligently, why don't you say it's gone?" Could it be that something was missed? Why don't we go and ask the doctor?"
So, Li Ping and Lao Zhang came to the hospital and found Liu Qiang, Wang Fang's attending physician. "Doctor Liu, what the hell is going on with Xiao Wang? "
Dr. Liu Qiang looked embarrassed: "I understand your feelings. But sudden death is sometimes so sudden, often in seemingly healthy people. Wang Fang's situation, we reviewed it and found some clues worthy of vigilance. "
"Oh, what's the clue?" The two came interested.
It is understood that although Wang Fang's diet is light, she is too paranoid, eats very little for a long time, and has insufficient calorie intake, resulting in low weight and decreased immunity. In addition, although she likes to exercise, she mostly does low-intensity activities such as yoga and swimming, and lacks cardiorespiratory endurance exercises.
The most important thing is that in order to stay slim, she often loses weight quickly through morning jogging and dieting, which seem to be healthy, but in fact greatly increase the burden on the cardiovascular system. "
"Ahh Li Ping asked in surprise.
"Excessive dieting to lose weight, especially through strenuous exercise such as morning jogging, to burn calories quickly is actually a double-edged sword. Dr. Lau explained
"First, fasting exercise can cause hypoglycemia and induce arrhythmias.
Second, exercise starvation can aggravate myocardial ischemia and hypoxia, inducing angina attacks.
Third, long-term dieting can lead to malnutrition and weaken the contractile ability of the heart muscle.
The superposition of various factors has buried the hidden danger of sudden death. In addition, Wang Fang usually has a lot of work pressure and often stays up late to work overtime, and the inflammatory factors and stress response in the body continue to rise, which undoubtedly adds fuel to the fire and eventually causes a catastrophe. "
In fact, Wang Fang's misfortune is by no means an isolated case. Among young people, there are more and more cases of similar sudden deaths, and the reasons behind them are varied, but in the final analysis, they all fail to respect the laws of the body, over-pursue perfection, and mistake health for a single number and indicator.
As everyone knows, health depends on multiple factors such as physiological, psychological, and social adaptation, and needs to be viewed from a holistic and dynamic perspective.
In today's fast-paced and high-pressure life, more and more young people are falling into health misunderstandings, blindly following various fashion regimens, chasing so-called health indicators, but ignoring the overall harmony of life. Over time, the body and mind become unbalanced, and the accumulation of labor becomes a disease, and finally leads to the point of no return.
Health is never achieved overnight, it requires gradual progress, and a comprehensive and balanced view of diet, exercise, work and rest, mood and other dimensions with a calm mind.
Of course, shaping health is also inseparable from the common concern of society. Whether it is the government, enterprises or medical institutions, they should create a benign and healthy ecological environment for the public.
