[This article declares: This story is pure fiction, if there is any similarity, it is purely a coincidence, do not sit in the right seat. 】
Lin Xue, a 51-year-old middle school teacher, has always thought that she is very health-conscious.
She heard that tangerine peel tea can reduce fat and lose weight, beautify and nourish the skin, so in the past 6 months, she has almost only drunk tangerine peel tea, and rarely drinks boiled water. Until recently, Lin Xue felt unwell and decided to go to the hospital for a check-up.
"Ms. Lin, have you been feeling unwell lately?" Physician Li Hua asked.
"Dr. Li, I always feel dry mouth, and I am always dizzy and tired." Lin Xue replied truthfully.
Dr. Li frowned and began to do a detailed physical examination for Lin Xue. He measured Lin Xue's blood pressure and found that it was high; Lin Xue also had a routine blood and urine test, and the results showed that her blood sugar and uric acid were high, and her electrolytes were also a little disordered.
"Ms. Lin, have you been drinking a lot of tangerine peel tea recently?" Dr. Lee asked.
Lin Xue said in surprise: "Yes, I have almost only drunk tangerine peel tea and rarely water in the past 6 months. Doctor, how do you know? "
Dr. Li smiled and explained, "From your test results, you have mild dehydration, high blood sugar, and high uric acid, which are likely to be related to your excessive consumption of tangerine peel tea. "
It turns out that although tangerine peel has certain medicinal value, excessive drinking will bring health risks. Tangerine peel is warm, and it is easy to get hot after taking it for a long time, causing discomfort such as dry mouth and tongue.
At the same time, tangerine peel also contains ingredients such as caffeine and theobromine, which can cause symptoms such as dizziness and heart palpitations when consumed in excess. What's more, tangerine peel tea instead of boiled water can affect the body's water intake, leading to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.
"So what should I do?" Lin Xue asked worriedly.
"1. Drink more boiled water, at least 1500ml a day, to ensure the body's water needs." Dr. Li advised, "2. Limit the amount of tangerine peel tea you drink, and don't exceed 3 grams of tangerine peel per day.
3. Exercise moderately and control your weight. "
Lin Xue carefully wrote down the doctor's instructions. She realized that true health requires a scientific approach and perseverance.
Recalling the 6 months of "tangerine peel tea health", Lin Xue couldn't help but be a little afraid.
Her story reflects the misunderstandings of many middle-aged people's health preservation. In the face of a variety of health preservation methods, many people rush to it, but ignore the most basic health knowledge.
Drinking tea for health is the choice of many people. However, excessive tea consumption, especially some functional teas, may be harmful to health.
Therefore, no matter how good the tea is, it must be done in moderation and cannot replace water.
A balanced diet is the cornerstone of good health.
Some people feel that meat is unhealthy and only eat vegetarian food; Some people hear that a certain food is beneficial, so they eat it in large quantities.
As everyone knows, no food is a panacea, and excessive consumption will bring burdens. True wellness requires a varied, balanced diet that is neither biased nor extreme.
Moderate exercise is a good way to maintain health. But exercising blindly can be counterproductive.
Some middle-aged people suddenly start exercising at high intensity in order to strengthen their bodies, which leads to sports injuries and even cardiovascular accidents. There are also some people who only focus on a certain type of exercise, which leads to an imbalance in the body.
Therefore, the exercise should be gradual, comprehensive and balanced, and more importantly, it should be done according to one's ability.
Lin Xue's story is a wake-up call for us. Health is not blind obedience, but science; Not fashion, but common sense. True health preservation requires us to return to the essence of health and treat the body with scientific methods.
Everyone's body is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all regimen.
We must learn to listen to the voice of our own body and treat health with reason and wisdom. A balanced diet, moderate exercise, regular work and rest, and staying optimistic may be the best way to maintain health.
Write at the end
Let's learn from Lin Xue's story, abandon blindness, and pursue science. Let's embrace true health with an open mind.
I believe that as long as we take care of it, we will be able to harvest a healthier and more wonderful life!
