"It's not the first time you've been in this situation, is it? Sweating in the middle of the night, this should have been noticed a long time ago. ”
Dr. Li, the family doctor, frowned, looked at Li Hua in front of him, and flipped through her examination report.
Li Hua, a career woman who has just entered her fifties, is usually so busy with her fashion design career that she almost ignores her health.
She always had a reason to postpone her health check-ups, until recently, when frequent night sweating forced her to turn to a doctor.
After a detailed examination, the unfortunate premonition became a reality - the early stage of rectal cancer.
Although the news sent the whole family into a heavy atmosphere, Li Hua and her husband Zhang Qiang decided to face it all with the most positive attitude.
Zhang Qiang often quietly regretted at night, "If I had insisted that she go for a physical examination, maybe she wouldn't have come to this point." ”
Li Hua's illness made her realize the importance of health, and also made Zhang Qiang realize that as the pillar of the family, he should pay more attention to the health of his family.
They began to re-examine their lifestyles, and Li Hua gradually learned a lot about rectal cancer.
"Rectal cancer can be effectively detected and treated through early screening."
Dr. Lee explained that if this cancer is detected early, the five-year survival rate can reach more than 90%.
He provided a set of data: in patients who have undergone standardized treatment, the cure rate of early-stage rectal cancer is much higher than that of mid-to-advanced stage.
This made Li Hua and Zhang Qiang feel a glimmer of hope.
In order to make more people aware of the importance of regular medical check-ups, Li Hua decided to use her social influence to share her experience through social media and public speaking.
Her story gradually gained a lot of attention online, and many people began to reevaluate their attitudes towards health.
Under the influence of Li Hua, Zhang Qiang also began to advocate that the company provide regular health check-ups for employees.
Their actions have gradually formed a positive energy and promoted social attention to health issues.
In the process, Li Hua discovered an idea that she had not paid attention to before: the risk of rectal cancer is closely related to dietary habits.
Although this sounds like common sense, she learned about the important role of a high-fiber diet in preventing rectal cancer through further research.
One study noted that eating high-fiber foods can reduce the formation of cancerous cells that cause rectal cancer.
High-fiber foods can reduce the risk of cancer by speeding up the rate at which food moves through the digestive tract and reducing the amount of time harmful substances in the intestines come into contact with the intestinal wall.
This idea has been mentioned in many health lectures, but how many people are really able to adhere to such a diet?
Over time, Li Hua's treatment has made significant progress, and her life has gradually returned to normal.
But the experience gave her a deeper revelation – that when it comes to life and health choices, we often have more autonomy and control that we just neglect in our daily busyness.
Why is it still difficult for people to stick to this healthy diet in modern society when a high-fiber diet has a significant effect on preventing rectal cancer?
The promotion of high-fiber diets has received widespread support in the academic and medical community;
However, in practical application, many people find it difficult to adhere to it for a long time due to the fast pace of life and the solidification of eating habits.
The convenience of fast food and processed foods often outweighs the consideration of healthy eating, which is a major obstacle to the promotion of high-fiber diets.
In addition, the lack of knowledge about food ingredients is also a reason why it is difficult for people to choose high-fiber foods.
To change this, educational, social policy and cultural perspectives need to change public perceptions and attitudes towards healthy eating, while providing more accessible and healthy food options.
This is not just a medical issue, but a broader issue involving education and social policy.
