Huang Daming recently heard that a common item in the refrigerator was the "murderer" who caused the increase in cancer, which made him feel nervous.
Huang Daming is an ordinary accountant, and he usually pays attention to numbers and reports, and usually doesn't pay much attention to this kind of medical news. But this time was different, he had just gone through a health crisis in his family, which made him extraordinarily sensitive to any health-related information.
Of course, Huang Daming is also a rational person, and he decided to go to his old friend Dr. Li to discuss this issue. Dr. Lee is an experienced oncologist who always provides scientific explanations for various myths.
At Dr. Li's clinic, Huang Daming couldn't wait to voice his concerns. After hearing this, Dr. Li first smiled, and then said, "Daming, you have listened to the nonsense on the Internet. ”
Dr Lee went on to explain that the refrigerator, as a food storage tool, does not directly cause cancer in itself. The problem is usually with the way it is stored and the kind of food it is.
He elaborated on some myths and the correct way to store food. For example, many people like to store food in the refrigerator for a long time, which can actually cause bacteria to grow, or certain chemicals in the food to spoil due to prolonged storage.
Dr. Lee also recounted several specific cases. One patient suffered from a severe gastrointestinal illness due to long-term consumption of expired food in the refrigerator, and this long-term inflammatory state may increase the risk of certain types of cancer.
Dr Lee emphasises that while this does not mean that refrigerators are "killers", wrong usage habits can indeed increase health risks. Huang Daming was relieved to hear this, and he realized that his family also needed to be more careful about food storage. He asked Dr. Lee if there was any better advice to avoid this.
Dr. Lee offers a few suggestions: first, don't buy too much food and store it in the refrigerator at once, try to buy as much as you want, second, store meat and perishable food in airtight bags to avoid cross-contamination, and third, clean the refrigerator regularly and discard expired or spoiled food.
Huang Daming went home to do a big cleaning, and he also went out of his way to buy some new food storage utensils, and decided to start with himself and change the way he stored food. A few months later, Wong visited Dr. Li again to report to him about his changes.
Dr Lee was very happy and encouraged Wong to keep up with it and reminded him to come for regular health check-ups. In the process, Wong learned a lot about food safety and health, and he also realized that panic and misunderstandings are caused by insufficient or wrong information.
Dr. Lee also mentioned the importance of understanding and applying this information correctly. He suggested that Huang Daming could attend some public health lectures or read some reputable health science books to further improve his health awareness.
Time passed slowly, and Huang Daming's lifestyle changed a lot. He no longer blindly follows various health rumors on the Internet, but has learned how to find and identify the authenticity of information.
His family was also influenced by him, and everyone began to pay attention to the quality and storage of food, which improved the quality of life for the whole family. Huang Daming and Dr. Li have become partners in promoting the popularization of health knowledge in the community.
They used the weekend to organize small health knowledge lectures to educate residents on how to use refrigerators scientifically and how to identify the authenticity of health information, which was widely welcomed and affirmed by community residents.
Through this series of efforts, Huang Daming not only improved his health management ability, but also helped the people around him to live a healthier life. He deeply felt that the right knowledge can change lives and help people avoid many unnecessary sufferings.
A simple misunderstanding, if left clear, can lead to unnecessary panic or even wrong behavior. And by actively seeking professional advice, we can not only solve our own doubts, but also help more people avoid the same mistakes.
