On this day, a 69-year-old female patient named Aunt Li was rushed to the hospital. Her family anxiously told the doctor that Aunt Li had suddenly fainted at home and had no response no matter how she called. After a series of examinations, Dr. Chan confirmed that Auntie Li had suffered cardiac arrest due to sudden cardiac death.
Aunt Li's family told the doctor about her daily habits: "Aunt Li has always had a history of high blood pressure and coronary heart disease, but she often underestimates her health. She likes to eat late-night snacks and often walks after meals. "
After hearing this, Dr. Chan sighed deeply. He told Aunt Li's family: "Cases like Aunt Li's are not uncommon in clinical practice. Many middle-aged and elderly people do not know enough about their physical condition and maintain some bad lifestyle habits, which greatly increases their risk of cardiovascular disease. "
The doctor further explained that as we age, the functions of the human body will gradually decline, and the cardiovascular system is no exception. Many middle-aged and elderly people suffer from chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia, and if combined with unhealthy diet and exercise habits, it is more likely to induce heart disease.
Evening habits are particularly crucial, and we must pay special attention to two points:
First, don't eat too late. It's best to finish dinner before 7 p.m., don't overeat, and try to eat less high-fat, high-salt foods.
Second, do not engage in strenuous exercise immediately after eating, especially activities such as walking or climbing stairs. This overburdens the heart, which is already understrained, and may lead to serious consequences such as angina pectoris and myocardial infarction.
Dr Chan advises middle-aged and elderly people to develop good lifestyle habits:
Eat a reasonable diet, choose healthy ingredients, eat small and frequent meals;
Exercise moderately, choose an exercise method that suits you, such as walking, tai chi, etc.;
Regular physical examination, pay attention to blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipids and other indicators, find problems in time and take measures. If you have uncomfortable symptoms such as chest pain, chest tightness, and palpitations, you must pay attention to it, seek medical attention in time, and do not take it lightly.
Life is impermanent, health is paramount. Each of us should pay more attention to our physical and mental health, start from the little things of daily life, improve the quality of life, and cherish precious life. When everyone puts health first, the health level of the whole society can continue to improve.
Remember, a healthy lifestyle is not just a choice, it's a responsibility. Each of us has the right to a healthy life, but we also have an obligation to maintain our own health and the health of others. Let's work together to create a world full of energy and laughter.
In our busy modern lives, we often overlook the importance of health. But health means much more than we think. It is not only about personal happiness, but also about family harmony and social stability. A healthy person can work, study, and live better, enjoy the beauty of life better, and better share happiness with others.
Let's take care of our health from now on. Pay more attention to every change in your body and listen to every voice in your heart. Arrange work and rest time reasonably, ensure adequate sleep, balance the diet structure to ensure the comprehensive intake of nutrition, adhere to moderate physical exercise, enhance the body, and relax the mood.
At the same time, don't forget about the maintenance of mental health. Maintain an optimistic and positive attitude in life, learn to regulate your emotions, and seek help in time when you are under pressure. Communicate with family and friends and maintain a good social support network.
Let's start a journey to a healthy life together. Every small change can be a big step towards good health. And when we work together and move forward together, we can create a healthier and better future.
