"Good morning, Aunt Zhang, I heard that you have been adjusting your eating habits recently?" Master Li smiled and waved at the regulars of the vegetable market.
Chef Li is an authentic pastry chef who is busy in his small shop early in the morning, preparing freshly baked buns and steamed buns. Although his profession and medicine seem to be incompatible, Chef Lee always likes to share some health knowledge when chatting with customers.
On this day, he suddenly thought of a health perspective that he thought was very unique: "Do you know, Aunt Zhang, some simple changes in living habits, such as adjusting diet, can actually greatly improve our health. Master Li said.
"We often say, 'medicine is not as good as food', especially after middle age, diet should be paid special attention. Eating too much red meat, especially processed meat, may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Chef Lee explained in detail that consuming more than a certain amount of processed meat per day will significantly increase the risk of heart disease and diabetes.
He then added: "So, Aunt Zhang, we middle-aged people, especially after the age of 50, should eat less of these things and eat more vegetables and whole grains." ”
"By the way, there is smoking, I don't need to say more about this, smoking is harmful to every organ, especially the lungs. Master Li also talked a lot about the dangers of smoking, from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease to lung cancer, and the data and examples were extremely detailed.
"By the way, when it comes to drinking, you have to be cautious about it. Some people often say that drinking a little alcohol in moderation is good for the heart, but most people can't control the word 'in moderation'. "Long-term heavy alcohol consumption may even lead to the risk of liver cirrhosis and liver cancer.
At this time, a customer interjected: "Master Li, you are not a doctor, why do you have so much knowledge about health?" Master Li replied with a smile: "Oh, I also learned this by watching TV, and I am also a little old, so I naturally have to care about these health problems." Let's share our experience together, but also to make ourselves live longer. ”
Just when everyone was having a heated discussion, Aunt Zhang asked, "Master Li, my legs and feet have always felt a little sore recently, am I eating too greasy?"
Master Li thought for a moment and replied seriously: "Aunt Zhang, in fact, the sore legs and feet may be caused by many reasons, such as arthritis or poor blood circulation. I remember that I used to have such problems as well, but later I reduced my intake of greasy foods and ate more vegetables and fruits, and it really improved. Of course, the best thing to do is to see a doctor for a full check-up. ”
Continuing his explanation, Master Lee suddenly turned to another health point that he thought was extremely important: "You know what? There is one very important thing that people are overlooking these days, and that is the quality of sleep. Especially for those of us who are older, we often think that going to bed early and waking up early is enough, but in fact, the quality of sleep is more important than how long you sleep. ”
"Sleep is also related to our metabolism. For example, lack of sleep can interfere with the secretion of insulin in our body, which is directly related to diabetes. So, my friends, after middle age, making sure you get a good quality of sleep is a very important aspect of longevity. ”
Master Li said, "From 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., it is the golden time for the human body to repair. If you haven't slept at this time, or you don't sleep well, then the body's repair will be affected, and after a long time, all kinds of small problems will come. ”
"Also, you've probably heard of 'beauty sleep'? The effects of sleep on the skin are significant. People who sleep well have better skin because sleep is a critical time for the body to repair and regenerate itself. ”
In the midst of a heated discussion, a middle-aged man asked, "Master Li, I often have insomnia at night and can't sleep well, is there any good way to improve my sleep?"
Master Li thought for a moment and replied seriously, "This question is actually very common. First of all, make sure that the environment is comfortable before bedtime, such as keeping the room at the right temperature, the light should be dark, and try not to drink coffee or tea at night, which are all stimulating drinks. In addition, if you do more physical activity during the day, it will be easier to sleep at night. ”
"Of course, if you have tried all these methods and still don't work, then you may need to go to the hospital to see a specialist, which may be related to some diseases in the body. ”
As soon as the topic changed, everyone returned to the discussion of health preservation, and Master Li's shop was not only a place to provide food, but also a small health exchange center. Here, everyone can find their own health knowledge and joy of life.
