"Look, what's going on with me?"
Aunt Li, a 65-year-old middle school math teacher, showed her friend Dr. Zhao the latest medical examination report while holding a steaming cup of chrysanthemum tea. In the small consultation room of the hospital, Aunt Li sat in front of the doctor like a student.
Dr. Zhao is an old friend of her for many years and a senior doctor at this hospital. Dr. Zhao picked up her physical examination report and nodded while reading it. "Your blood lipid and blood sugar levels have dropped, and your blood pressure has stabilized a lot. Over the past year, you have insisted on drinking chrysanthemum tea every day, and it seems that the effect is good! Dr. Zhao said with a smile.
Aunt Li also smiled, her face was full of satisfaction: "I heard that chrysanthemum tea can clear heat and detoxify, usually the voice is loud in class, and the throat is easy to feel uncomfortable, but after drinking this, I feel much more relaxed." ”
Dr. Zhao went on to explain: "Indeed, chrysanthemum has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, anti-inflammatory and lowering blood lipids. But you know what? In addition to these, the flavonoids in chrysanthemums are also very helpful in preventing cardiovascular disease. ”
Aunt Li asked curiously, "What's going on?" Dr. Zhao explained in detail: "One of the main ingredients in chrysanthemums is flavonoids, which can help reduce inflammation in blood vessels, thereby reducing the risk of heart attack. People who consume flavonoids regularly have a significantly lower incidence of cardiovascular disease than those who consume these substances rarely. ”
Aunt Li listened to it with relish, nodding and drinking chrysanthemum tea, as if she could feel more health from it.
Then, Dr. Zhao added a bit of surprise: "In addition, chrysanthemum tea is also helpful in improving sleep quality. While it may not seem to be associated with cardiovascular health, a good night's sleep can be effective in reducing stress on the heart. Chrysanthemum tea contains a slight calming ingredient that can help regulate sleep cycles. ”
Aunt Li felt novel: "Ouch, I really don't know this, it turns out that it can still have so many functions!" ”
Dr. Zhao smiled and continued: "Yes, so although many people think that drinking flower tea is just a habit of life, in fact, from a medical point of view, this habit has many positive effects on the body. Especially for teachers like you, who have a stressful job and often need to stay up late to correct assignments, it is very important to maintain a good living habit. ”
Aunt Li was persuaded and decided to stick to her chrysanthemum tea habit even more. Just as she was about to leave the consultation room, she suddenly thought of a question, turned around and asked Dr. Zhao: "Then for the elderly, is there anything special to pay attention to when drinking chrysanthemum tea?" ”
Dr. Zhao replied seriously: "Although chrysanthemum tea is good, it should not be excessive. Generally, one to two cups a day is sufficient. If it is too much, it may affect the absorption function of the stomach and intestines, especially on an empty stomach, it is not recommended to drink a large amount. For some people with special constitutions, such as people with frequent diarrhea, they may want to drink less to avoid irritating the intestines. ”
Aunt Li nodded, expressing her understanding and thanking Dr. Zhao for her advice. She walked out of the consultation room, filled with new insights and expectations for a healthy life.
