"A broken bone is a small thing, but your liver may need attention. The doctor said to the patient in a deep voice as he examined the CT images of his feet.
The sun was shining outside the window, but the atmosphere in the examination room of the hospital suddenly became tense.
The patient's name is Zhong Haiyuan, 49 years old, and he is a programmer.
Zhong Haiyuan usually likes to participate in outdoor activities, and this weekend, he went for a long-distance run in the park with his family, but accidentally sprained his ankle and had to rush to the hospital.
I thought it was just an ordinary sprain, but I didn't expect the doctor to say something that worried him even more.
Zhong Haiyuan's wife, Li Weiwei, is a middle school teacher.
She has always expressed concern about Zhong Haiyuan's habit of drinking more than a dozen cups of strong coffee every day, and has persuaded him to reduce it many times, but Zhong Haiyuan always smiles and waves his hand, saying that this is his "creative fuel".
Zhong Haiyuan believes that coffee can help him stay awake and improve his efficiency when programming. However, the unexpected discovery in the hospital made Li Weiwei's worries come true.
The doctor continued: "You have some abnormalities in your liver enzymes, and drinking a lot of coffee, especially espresso, all year round will put a certain burden on your liver.
While some components in coffee, such as caffeine, can have health benefits, excessive amounts can bring side effects. ”
Zhong Haiyuan was a little surprised when he heard this, he thought it was safe for him to keep drinking in moderation.
The doctor saw his doubts and came up with some data: "According to a recent study,
Consuming more than 400 mg of caffeine per day (about four cups of strong coffee) may cause liver dysfunction in the long run. ”
Zhong Haiyuan's daily intake of more than a dozen cups of coffee far exceeds this number.
Li Weiwei listened to the mixed feelings, and she tried to persuade her husband to reduce his coffee intake many times, but to no avail.
Zhong Haiyuan didn't take his wife's worries to heart before, and always thought that his physical condition was not bad.
Seeing this, the doctor added a specific case: "I once had a patient, also because of the pressure of work,
After drinking a lot of strong coffee for a long time, I eventually developed chronic hepatitis. Although everyone's physique is different, there is always a risk of overdose. ”
After Zhong Haiyuan heard this, he finally began to seriously consider his lifestyle.
After a long family discussion, Zhong Haiyuan decided to reduce his coffee intake from now on, switch to healthier drinks such as green tea or fruit juice, and increase physical exercise to improve his lifestyle habits.
It is not easy to change, but Zhong Haiyuan, with the support of his wife, gradually found a rhythm that suits him.
He began to pay attention to a balanced diet and had regular check-ups to make sure he was healthy.
This story makes us think, do modern people ignore health while pursuing work efficiency and convenience in life?
Should we be more mindful of our body signals and long-term health effects in our pursuit of "efficiency"?
In response to this problem, we can analyze it in detail from a medical point of view.
First, we need to understand how caffeine affects the human body, especially how it improves alertness and mental concentration by affecting the central nervous system.
Next, we should explore the potential effects of long-term high caffeine intake on various human systems, especially the cardiovascular system and liver.
Finally, by combining clinical data and real-world cases, we can more comprehensively assess and understand why it is equally important to have a balanced diet and take care of health while pursuing efficiency.
