"You've been sweating at night lately, which could be a sign from your heart." Dr. Lee's words were clear in the night.
This night, Jiang Xiaochuan, who was wearing light blue pajamas, woke up from his dream again, feeling that his pillow was as wet as if he had just been fished out of the water.
Jiang Xiaochuan is a senior software engineer who usually works under high pressure, often stays up late and works overtime, and has an irregular life.
This went on for months, and I always thought it was just too tiring to work. But under the persuasion of relatives and friends, he finally decided to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination.
The results of the examination showed that Jiang Xiaochuan had a slight abnormality in his heart function, which doctors speculated may have a lot to do with his daily habits, especially when using the toilet.
"In fact, many people ignore the potential risks in the toilet, especially for people with heart disease, and a few minutes in the toilet can be full of danger."
As he spoke, Dr. Li took out a data report and showed Jiang Xiaochuan a series of astonishing statistics.
According to the report, many heart attacks occurred in the toilet due to sudden changes in body position, temperature changes, and excessive exertion.
Jiang Xiaochuan began to think seriously, recalling that he often finished quickly in the toilet because he was in a hurry to solve it, and never realized the risk behind it.
Dr. Li then put forward four precautions when using the toilet, hoping to help Jiang Xiaochuan improve his condition:
1. Change your position slowly:
Especially during the process of getting from bed to toilet, you should avoid getting up suddenly, but sit up slowly, sit for a while and then stand up to reduce the burden on your heart.
2. Avoid straining too hard: Avoid straining when using the toilet, especially during bowel movements.
You can increase fiber by adjusting your diet, which makes bowel movements easier and reduces stress on your heart.
3. Control the temperature in the toilet: Avoid the temperature of the toilet being too low or too high, as the temperature difference is too large and will put an extra burden on the heart.
Heating can be used appropriately or windows can be opened to ventilate to keep the environment comfortable.
4. Go to the toilet without emotion:
The toilet is a place to relax, and you should avoid entering it with the stress of work or mood swings, so as not to increase the heart rate and increase the load on the heart.
With Dr. Li's advice, Jiang Xiaochuan began to adjust his lifestyle habits and apply these four precautions to his daily life.
A few months later, he had another heart check-up and found a noticeable improvement.
However, these views, while scientifically based, remain unknown to the general public. Why is such common sense not widespread?
This may have something to do with people's neglect of small details in their daily lives, which can lead to serious consequences, especially in people at risk of heart disease.
Taken together, this begs an in-depth question: What is the root cause of the widely overlooked link between toilet habits and heart health?
Is it the lack of health education in society, or the lack of self-awareness of potential risks in daily life?
When analyzing this issue, several key factors can be found.
First, there is a general lack of education about the necessary common sense of heart health, especially the details of daily life that can cause stress to the heart.
Second, even when education exists, people often don't pay enough attention to such seemingly trivial information because it is not as immediate and urgent as the onset of disease.
Tackling this problem starts with raising public awareness of the importance of heart health.
In particular, education and awareness are needed to enhance people's understanding and acceptance of preventive measures, especially in medical institutions and community centers.
In addition, through policy promotion, these health knowledge is integrated into all aspects of daily life.
For example, regular heart health education in schools and workplaces may help change this.
