One day, when the spring was bright and everything was recovering, Huang Minghai, a medical doctor, and his friend, Zhang Lihua, a professional horticulturist, met to climb the mountain.
The mountain breeze was cool, and the two chatted while walking, and happened to see an old man picking herbs on the hillside, which aroused their interest.
"Zhang Lihua, do you know? Simple dietary changes are sometimes more effective than medications. ”
Huang Minghai opened with this, which led to an in-depth discussion about health and diet.
Zhang Lihua excitedly shared one of her experiments, half a year ago, she decided to change her eating habits and eat only blanched vegetables and cold vegetables, seasoning only oil and vinegar.
This seemingly simple change has had an unexpected impact on her life.
First, Zhang Lihua noticed that her weight was slowly decreasing.
In the past six months, she has lost 5 kilograms.
This is not only because of her reduced caloric intake, but more importantly, this way of eating has increased her metabolic rate.
Studies have shown that a diet high in fiber can increase metabolic activity in the body, which can promote fat burning.
Secondly, her gut health has improved significantly.
For a long time, Zhang Lihua has frequently seen doctors because of gastrointestinal problems.
However, after changing her eating habits, her intestinal problems were significantly relieved.
That's because the natural fiber and ketoacids in vegetables can regulate the gut microbiota and improve the overall health of the digestive system.
What's even more surprising is that Zhang Lihua's skin condition has also improved significantly.
Her skin is smoother and her breakouts and inflammation are visibly reduced.
This is mainly due to the increased antioxidants in the diet and the reduced intake of oils, which are important factors in maintaining healthy skin.
After listening to Zhang Lihua's description, Huang Minghai added: "Your experience is actually in line with the latest nutritional science research.
Reducing the intake of fats and increasing the use of vinegar can effectively regulate the acid-base balance in the body and promote metabolism, which is good for weight loss and improved health. ”
He also specifically mentioned that this diet also has potential positive effects on the prevention of certain types of cancer.
Subsequently, Huang Minghai mentioned another case, a patient with high blood pressure, after changing the diet structure, similar to Zhang Lihua, blood pressure was significantly controlled.
This type of diet, by reducing sodium intake and increasing potassium intake, helps regulate the electrolyte balance in the body, which contributes to the reduction of blood pressure.
Huang Minghai went on to explain in detail how this diet can be achieved by reducing the intake of sugars and unhealthy fats in food;
and increasing the intake of dietary fiber and beneficial bacteria to have an overall positive impact on the human body.
He used a wealth of data to support these ideas, including statistics and the results of multiple studies, detailing the effects of implementing this dietary change in people of different ages and health conditions.
In this in-depth discussion on health and diet, both Huang Minghai and Zhang Lihua felt the power of nature;
and a deeper understanding of the huge health benefits that come with simple lifestyle changes.
At the end of the story, when they were resting on the top of the mountain, Huang Minghai asked a slightly philosophical question:
"If so many health benefits can be achieved just by adjusting the diet, then why is it still so difficult for modern people to break free from the shackles of drugs?"
This question leads to a more in-depth analysis:
Modern life is fast-paced, and people often seek quick solutions, such as medication, while neglecting diet and lifestyle adjustments.
In many cases, changes in diet and lifestyle habits can not only improve the quality of life, but also prevent and treat a wide range of diseases, which is an important aspect highlighted by modern medical research.
In this way, we may be able to reduce our dependence on drugs and achieve true health.
