[This article declares: This story is pure fiction, if there is any similarity, it is purely a coincidence, do not sit in the right seat. 】
Uncle Li, 65, is a retired teacher who is warm-hearted and kind-hearted.
As he grew older, Uncle Li found that his memory and reaction speed had deteriorated, and his physical strength was not as good as before. He began to worry about whether he would get any diseases, especially cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems.
Once, Uncle Li heard that salvia tablets can clean blood vessels and prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases while chatting, so he decided to give it a try. Since then, Uncle Li has been eating two salvia tablets every day for a whole year.
A year later, Uncle Li felt that his physical condition had not improved significantly, but often felt dizzy and fatigued, and his appetite was lost. He was a little worried, so he went to the hospital to consult his old friend, Dr. Zhao, the director of the cardiology department.
Dr. Zhao carefully inquired about Uncle Li's medical history and medication, and then arranged for him to have a series of tests. When the test report came out, Dr. Zhao frowned.
"Mr. Li, your liver function and blood clotting function are abnormal, which may be related to long-term use of Danshen tablets. "
Dr. Zhao explained, "Although salvia has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, it also contains some anticoagulant ingredients, and long-term consumption in large quantities may affect blood clotting function and increase the risk of bleeding.
Moreover, elderly people like you have worse liver and kidney function than young people, and overdose is undoubtedly worse. "
Uncle Li immediately regretted: "Director Zhao, am I misled by 'health preservation'? I heard that salvia is good, so I blindly followed the trend, but I didn't expect it to backfire." "
Dr. Zhao was relieved: "Mr. Li, don't blame yourself too much. It's not too late to know what the problem is.
I recommend that you stop taking Danshen tablets and switch to some mild Chinese herbs, such as hawthorn and cassia seed, which can not only invigorate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, but also do not harm the liver and kidneys.
Uncle Li nodded again and again: "Thank you Director Zhao for your advice, I must follow the doctor's instructions, get rid of the 'home remedies complex', and take the road of scientific health preservation!"
After that, under the careful guidance of Dr. Zhao, Uncle Li began to adjust his lifestyle.
He quit salvia tablets, drank some hawthorn tea and chrysanthemum tea, ate more light food, exercised moderately, and learned tai chi. Gradually, Uncle Li's physical condition improved, and his spirit became more and more vigorous.
A few months later, Uncle Li came to the hospital again for a follow-up.
This time, Dr. Zhao said with satisfaction: "Mr. Li, your indicators have returned to normal, and the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases has been greatly reduced, which is really gratifying!"
Uncle Li said gratefully: "Thanks to Director Zhao's careful guidance, I realized that health preservation cannot be blindly followed, and we must follow science, which varies from person to person and from time to time, so that we can truly harvest health!"
Uncle Li's story is a wake-up call for the majority of middle-aged and elderly friends: in the face of overwhelming health information, we must not blindly follow the trend, let alone superstitious about the so-called panacea that "cures all diseases".
Everyone's physical condition is different, and the regimen should also be different for each person. Excessive obsession with health care products not only hurts money, but also may be mistreated, and the gains outweigh the losses.
In fact, the true meaning of health preservation is to follow nature and pay attention to balance. A light diet, a reasonable and restrained daily life, coupled with a moderate amount of exercise and a happy mood, are the best "good medicines".
Write at the end
Cultivate your body and mind in daily life, harvest warmth in the care of relatives and friends, let life bloom more and more wonderfully in the continuous grinding, smile at life in the long river of years, and embrace your own happiness and beauty!
