The 57-year-old uncle eats a plate of fried winter melon every day, and after 2 years, he went for a physical examination, and the doctor exclaimed: he did a good job
In a small town, there lives a bus driver named Zhang Hua. Zhang Hua, 57, has been working for the bus company for decades, leaving early and returning late every day, and for his passengers, Zhang Hua is always greeted with a smile and never complains despite the hard work.
Having said that, in addition to driving buses, Zhang Hua's life also has a special hobby, that is, he loves cooking. On his days off, Zhang Hua would try a variety of dishes at home, and his cooking skills became more and more exquisite.
But among all the ingredients, Zhang Hua's favorite is winter melon. He believes that winter melon not only has a light taste, but also has many health benefits. So, Zhang Hua decided that he wanted to eat a plate of fried winter melon every day, and stick to this habit to see what wonderful changes would happen.
Two years passed in a hurry, and Zhang Hua went to the hospital for an annual physical examination as usual. When the doctor checked Zhang Hua's indicators, he couldn't help but admire him.
It turned out that Zhang Hua's physical indicators were very ideal, especially his blood pressure and blood sugar levels, which were very well controlled, which was very rare among people of his age.
The doctor curiously asked Zhang Hua if he had any special health secrets. Zhang Hua said with a smile that he felt that it was all due to his insistence on eating fried winter melon every day. Hearing this, the doctor thought that Zhang Hua was joking, because although winter melon is good, it is really far-fetched to want to achieve such a significant health effect by eating winter melon.
However, facts speak louder than words. Zhang Hua's physical condition is indeed very good, which makes the doctor begin to be very interested in the health benefits of winter melon. So the doctor decided to delve into the nutritional content and possible health benefits of winter melon.
Winter melon is rich in water and low in calories, and is rich in vitamins and minerals such as vitamin B, vitamin C, potassium and iron, which are all important elements for maintaining normal physiological functions.
What's more interesting is that winter melon also contains a special bioactive substance that can help regulate the body's blood sugar and blood pressure. This finding provides new insights into how health can be improved through daily diet.
Winter melon can not only help cool down the heat, but also help lower blood sugar and blood pressure through its unique bioactive substances, which is a very valuable health food for middle-aged and elderly people like Zhang Hua.
In a flash, Zhang Hua's story spread in the small town, and many people began to follow his example and eat fried winter melon every day, hoping to live a long and healthy life like him. Zhang Hua is also willing to share his recipes and cooking skills, and his cooking skills and enthusiasm are also infectious to everyone around him.
At Zhang Hua's next physical examination, the doctor said to him: "Mr. Zhang, you have done a good job in health management. Please continue to maintain your eating habits and don't forget to maintain moderate physical activity. Zhang Hua nodded, his heart full of gratitude.
After that, Zhang Hua asked a question about fried winter melon: "Doctor, I eat fried winter melon every day, will there be any potential problems?" For example, overnutrition or undernutrition? ”
The doctor replied, "Mr. Zhang, although winter melon is good, the diet should still be varied. Although winter melon is rich in many vitamins and minerals, it does not contain all the nutrients you need. ”
"For example, it's lower in protein and fat, so you'll also need to supplement these nutrients with other foods. It is recommended that you can eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, soy products, etc., to ensure a balanced diet. ”
This suggestion made Zhang Hua better understand the importance of a balanced diet, and decided to pay more attention to the comprehensiveness of nutrition in his diet in the future.
