That morning, 48-year-old Zhao Xiaolin, as usual,
Squeeze out a slice of lemon juice, drop into warm water and sip slowly. She has been sticking to this habit for half a year. Speaking of which, she didn't pay much attention to this kind of small details of life, until a physical examination half a year later, which made her family doctor Dr. Li Shuhua so surprised that she couldn't keep her mouth shut.
"Ms. Zhao, what have you done in the past six months? Your physical examination report is unbelievable!" Dr. Li Shuhua asked. When Zhao Xiaolin heard this, she smiled proudly, and told her lemonade secret like a treasure.
It turned out that the habit of slicing lemon every morning not only improved Zhao Xiaolin's quality of life, but also significantly improved her blood lipids and liver function indicators. Lemon water can promote digestion, help liver detoxification, and improve Zhao Xiaolin's liver function indicators from the side.
Dr. Li Shuhua explained the benefits of lemons in detail, but did not forget to remind Zhao Xiaolin that there are two sides to everything. Lemons are good, but they shouldn't be excessive.
Zhao Xiaolin not only gained a surprise in the physical examination, but also rejuvenated her life attitude and quality of life because of this glass of lemonade. However, during these days of change, Zhao Xiaolin also noticed that her sensitivity to certain foods seemed to increase, especially on certain fruits and spicy foods.
This made her can't help but ask Dr. Li Shuhua during a follow-up visit: "Dr. Li Shuhua, should I be particularly sensitive to certain foods? Is this related to the fact that I drink lemonade every day?"
Dr. Li Shuhua replied, "Xiaolin, the food allergy you mentioned may indeed be related to the intake of acidic foods, especially lemonade. ”
"Long-term intake of large amounts of lemon water may indeed increase the acidity of gastric juice, which in turn may affect the tolerance of the stomach and intestines to certain foods. But that doesn't mean you need to avoid it altogether, and we can find a balance by adjusting our diet and reducing our lemonade intake appropriately. ”
"At the same time, I recommend that you do a food allergy test so that we can understand your physical condition more specifically and prescribe the right medicine. ”
With the passage of time, Zhao Xiaolin's lifestyle gradually attracted the attention of the people around her. Her colleagues often saw her drinking lemonade in the office, and gradually, this simple healthy habit quietly caught on in the library. At the same time, however, Zhao Xiaolin has also noticed some not-so-optimistic feedback that lemonade may bring.
"Dr. Li Shuhua, I have recently noticed that although drinking lemon water makes me feel more energetic, my teeth seem to have become a little sensitive. What's going on?" during a health consultation, Zhao Xiaolin couldn't help but raise her concerns with Dr. Li Shuhua.
Dr. Li Shuhua explained: "Xiaolin, this is actually a very common question. Although lemon is a good thing, rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, it is also highly acidic. Prolonged acidic environments can soften tooth enamel and make teeth more sensitive. ”
Zhao Xiaolin asked, "So should I consider reducing my lemonade intake?" Dr. Li Shuhua replied, "There are some things you can do to protect your teeth." For example, you can rinse your mouth after drinking lemon water, clean your teeth with water, and reduce the retention of acids. ”
These words made Zhao Xiaolin breathe a sigh of relief. She began to follow Dr. Li Shuhua's advice to adjust her daily habits and continue to enjoy the benefits of lemonade, while also paying more attention to the maintenance of her teeth.
In Zhao Xiaolin's story, we can see how a simple lifestyle habit can unconsciously affect a person's health.
Through Dr. Li Shuhua's professional advice, we can also understand that every healthy habit should be adjusted and adapted appropriately after understanding its scientific basis and potential risks.
