"Lao Zhang, you said that this day is really useful, is our meditation really useful?" Aunt Li, 68, a recently retired bank teller, meditates in a corner of the living room for an hour every night.
Unfortunately, two years later, Aunt Li died suddenly of a heart attack, leaving behind a series of questions and discussions. On the bench in the community, Lao Zhang, an ordinary person who changed careers to open a small supermarket after retirement, was deeply puzzled when he heard the news.
Lao Zhang and Aunt Li have been neighbors for many years, often chatting on the bench downstairs, and he knows that Aunt Li has been very health-conscious in recent years, especially after retirement, and has started to practice meditation every day.
"Doesn't this meditation say that it can regulate breathing and relieve stress? How can it be ......?" Lao Zhang could not finish his words when he was interrupted by Dr. Wang next to him. Dr. Wang, a family physician in the community, has his own unique perspective on this type of emergency.
"Meditation is a good thing in itself, but the problem is the method and the health of the individual. Many people think that meditation is simply sitting and closing their eyes, but in fact, there is a need for scientific guidance behind this. Dr. Wang explained slowly, and the neighbors gathered to listen.
Dr. Wang mentioned that while many studies have shown that meditation can help reduce stress and improve mental health, for people with heart disease, improper posture and timing of meditation may exacerbate the burden on the heart.
"For example, if a person with poor cardiovascular disease does not move for a long time, blood circulation may be affected, especially in improper posture, which may put additional pressure on the heart. ”
In the process of explaining, Dr. Wang also gave a specific case, which was a patient he had met before. This patient also decompressed by meditation, but because of the incorrect posture, the blood flow in the legs was not smooth, which increased the burden on the heart, and finally unfortunately had a cardiac event.
"So, meditation is not a 'panacea', it needs to be done with the right guidance. It is important not only to control the time, but also to pay attention to the posture and if necessary, to do it under the supervision of a doctor. Dr. Wang's words made everyone present fall into thought.
In fact, when it comes to heart health and lifestyle choices, many people ignore the doctor's advice and think that some traditional slimming methods can replace medical interventions. Dr. Wong emphasises that the development of any healthy habit should be based on an understanding of one's health status and carried out under professional guidance.
As it gets late, Lao Zhang and the rest of his neighbors disperse, their hearts filled with reflection and new knowledge. Dr. Wang's words have sparked a series of health discussions in the community.
In the weeks that followed, Dr. Wang was invited to give several talks on heart health and lifestyle habits. In the lecture, Dr. Wang not only explained the correct posture for meditation, but also emphasized the details of heart health that should be paid attention to in daily life, such as eating right, exercising moderately, and avoiding excessive mood swings.
The lecture was well received by the residents, and many residents who didn't know much about it began to re-evaluate their health habits. Lao Zhang also began to adjust his daily routine, he reduced the habit of sitting still for long periods of time, and instead got up and walked around every hour to improve blood circulation.
The community centre also has a health consultation point where residents can receive specific advice based on their individual health conditions. Dr. Wang and several other doctors take turns to provide necessary health guidance to residents.
In this process, Lao Zhang occasionally thought of Aunt Li and wondered if she could have had received more professional health management advice at that time.
He decided to spread this newfound knowledge to more people, especially those who, like Aunt Li, may not yet fully understand their health. But more importantly, everyone needs to adjust their lifestyle habits according to their actual situation, rather than blindly pursuing some seemingly magical method.
