A 61-year-old man with high cholesterol and switched to chicken instead of pork, has his body improved after a year?
In an ordinary small city, there lives a 61-year-old postman named Li Dashan. The postman's life was simple and regular, with every day delivering letters and parcels, going home to watch TV and occasionally playing chess with old friends. However, Li Dashan has a health problem that bothers him quite a lot - high cholesterol.
After a health check-up, the doctor told Li Dashan that his cholesterol level was exceeded, which was extremely detrimental to cardiovascular health. The doctor advised him to change his diet and eat less pork and more chicken to control his cholesterol intake. Li Dashan followed the doctor's advice and decided to switch from pork to chicken.
Li Dashan began his experiment with dietary changes. Every day he would eat some roast chicken, chicken salad or stewed chicken soup, and the pork disappeared from the table altogether. His wife, Zhang Juan, is also very supportive, always trying to make the chicken varied, trying not to make Li Dashan feel boring.
A year has passed in the blink of an eye, and Li Dashan has undergone a physical examination again. He was ecstatic about the results – not only did his cholesterol levels drop significantly, but he also lost a few kilograms of weight, and he looked more energetic.
Dr. Li's doctor, a middle-aged woman named Dr. Wang, was so pleased with his change that she even recorded the case to include in her health booklet.
During this year's dietary changes, Li Dashan not only learned how to control his diet, but also accidentally discovered the multiple health benefits of chicken. Chicken is not only rich in high-quality protein, but it also contains a variety of essential amino acids, which are beneficial for both muscle growth and repair.
In addition, chicken is also high in phosphorus, which is essential for maintaining healthy bones and teeth. Dr Wong explained that the fat content in chicken is relatively low, especially the skinless chicken, which has a much lower proportion of saturated fat than pork.
This is a better option for people who need to control their blood lipids. In addition, chicken also contains a trace element called selenium, which has antioxidant properties and can help fight free radicals in the body, thereby reducing the risk of chronic diseases.
By changing his eating habits, Li Dashan not only improved his health, but also gradually formed a more positive attitude towards life. He began to pay more attention to his physical condition, underwent regular check-ups, and also tried to promote a healthy lifestyle in the community. He even gave a small lecture dedicated to teaching seniors how to improve their health by adjusting their diet.
However, in the midst of all these seemingly beautiful changes, Li Dashan still feels some discomfort at times. He noticed that despite the many health benefits that come with eating chicken, occasionally he feels indigestion. He asked Dr. Wang if there was anything he could do to solve this minor problem.
After reviewing Li Dashan's medical records, Dr. Wang advised him to include more fiber, such as vegetables and fruits, in his diet to help with digestion. At the same time, she also reminded Li Dashan that everyone's physique is different, and even healthy food needs to be adjusted according to the actual situation of the individual.
Dr. Wang colloquially explains, "You see, Dashan, every food is like a double-edged sword, there are many benefits, but it must be done in moderation. Eat more fruits and vegetables to help your stomach absorb and digest better, so that you can enjoy a healthy life more comfortably. ”
After listening to Dr. Wang's advice, Li Dashan decided to continue to stick to his healthy diet while paying more attention to the variety and balance of food. He believes that as long as he continues to maintain this positive attitude, he will be healthier and happier in his old age.
