Zhang Wei recently heard a peculiar saying, "Whether the blood lipids are high or not, you can know by looking at the feet", which made him very curious.
As a busy taxi driver, he usually pays little attention to his health, but this time he decided to go to the hospital for a consultation with Dr. Lee.
In Zhang Wei's impression, Dr. Li not only has superb medical skills, but also always has a hilarious sense of humor, making every visit a feast of knowledge.
Zhang Wei sat in the consultation room, and Dr. Li carefully examined his feet, and then began to explain. "Did you know that there are actually a lot of health problems that can be observed from the feet," Dr. Li said as he examined them, "especially in the case of high blood lipids, there are indeed a few signs that can be seen from the feet. ”
First, Dr. Lee mentioned the changes in toenails. He explained that when blood lipid levels are abnormal, toenails experience abnormal thickness and color changes. For example, the accumulation of fat under the nail bed causes the nail bed to turn yellow, and the nail surface becomes unusually thick, which may be an outward sign of high blood lipids.
Secondly, changes in the skin of the feet are also an important point to observe. People with high blood lipids tend to have dry skin on their feet, which is prone to cracks, and sometimes even yellow lipomas.
These small yellow bumps, medically known as xanthomas, are formed by the accumulation of fat under the skin. Thirdly, the blood flow to the feet. High blood lipids often lead to blockage of blood vessels, affecting blood circulation, which can cause cold, purple and even swollen feet.
"So, we can't underestimate any small changes in the body, they could be the body's alarm to us." Dr Lee concluded that he encouraged Zhang Wei to have regular check-ups, especially for blood lipids.
Zhang Wei was deeply touched by this, and he thanked Dr. Li for his meticulous explanations and advice, and decided to start adjusting his lifestyle habits and paying more attention to his health. On the way home, he drove and thought about how to balance work and health, and what he could do to prevent the health problems caused by high blood lipids.
It was decided to spread this knowledge among his peers, especially for a taxi driver like him who drove long hours and was inactive, and it was especially crucial to be aware of these early warnings and take precautions accordingly.
A few months later, Zhang Wei not only insisted on doing simple exercises every day, but also joined a health promotion group organized by a local hospital, where they met regularly to discuss health issues and supervise each other to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
At a group meeting, Zhang Wei shared what he learned from Dr. Li about observing the condition of his feet to predict whether his blood lipids are high. He explained in detail the changes in toenails, the condition of the skin, and the importance of blood circulation, much to the surprise of many of his peers that these seemingly trivial changes could reflect important health information.
Zhang Wei also mentioned another statistic provided by Dr. Li, which is that people's blood lipid levels have a significant downward trend after adjusting their diet and increasing exercise, which further motivates the group members to stick to a healthy lifestyle.
Zhang Wei's story and actions have caused a certain impact on the driver community, and more and more drivers have begun to pay attention to their own health, and Zhang Wei has found a new sense of satisfaction in helping others become healthier with himself.
He is often invited to different communities and groups to share his experiences and learning, helping more people to realize the health risks that can be hidden in the usually inconspicuous physical changes.
This experience made Zhang Wei deeply realize the immeasurable value of health education and information dissemination. He also feels more and more that through his own efforts, he can bring health awareness to the people around him, which is a very positive and positive social impact.
In fact, Zhang Wei's change and influence is just the beginning, and he hopes that through more platforms and channels, more people will be aware of the importance of health, so that they can take action to improve the quality of life for themselves and their families.
Not only did we see the power of individual efforts, but it also showed how the spread of health knowledge can inspire positive change in communities and groups. Zhang Wei's story teaches us that everyone can be a part of change, as long as we are willing to take action and focus on our own health and the health of others.
