"Guys, you know, walking for 10 minutes a day is more effective than any health medicine." The doctor's words echoed in Brother Zhang's ears.
He stood outside the community hospital in front of his home, where a health lecture on the prevention of common diseases was held today.
Brother Zhang, a former middle school geography teacher who has spent his life in the classroom explaining mountains and lakes around the world, knows very little about health.
On the way home, Brother Zhang's mind was active, and every little knowledge in the lecture stirred waves in his mind.
He decided to talk to his family tonight about his newfound health knowledge.
At the dinner table, Brother Zhang began to show his new knowledge to his family: "You know what?
Dandelion is not only a weed, it is also a good medicinal herb, which can clear away heat and detoxify, diuretic and swelling. ”
His wife Li Hua was skeptical when she heard this, but when she saw that Brother Zhang was full of excitement, she didn't say anything.
Since then, Brother Zhang has insisted on picking unpolluted dandelions on the edge of the community every day, and started his "dandelion health plan".
Every morning, he adds fresh dandelion leaves to his breakfast pancakes and a pot of dandelion tea in the afternoon.
Half a year later, Brother Zhang went to the community hospital on time for a physical examination. When the results came out, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his blood pressure and blood sugar had improved significantly.
The doctor was also surprised by Brother Zhang's change, especially his insistence on his own unique health food, dandelion.
"Mr. Zhang, your physical indicators have improved significantly, especially your blood sugar and blood pressure."
The doctor looked at the report and said that this made Brother Zhang's enthusiasm for dandelions even higher.
He decided to share the good news on the community's health forum, hoping to help more people.
Brother Zhang's post quickly went viral on the forum, and many people began to ask about dandelion, how to eat it, and its specific health benefits.
Brother Zhang replied one by one, feeling that he was back in the classroom, teaching every "student" with curiosity with enthusiasm.
However, the effects of dandelion are not without controversy.
A netizen who claimed to be a dietitian commented under the post: "Dandelion is good, but it should not be excessive, too much intake may cause excessive stomach acid or cause other side effects. ”
These words made Brother Zhang realize that nothing is absolutely good or bad, and it needs to be in moderation.
After being reminded by netizens, Brother Zhang began to study dandelion and its effects more systematically.
He consulted a large number of literature and research reports, and found that although dandelion has certain diuretic and hypoglycemic effects, it is indeed not suitable for all groups of people, as the netizen said.
Specific to the medical research of dandelion, many data show that it is rich in vitamins and minerals, which can help detoxify the liver, improve kidney function, and even have an adjuvant treatment effect on some cancer patients.
But all the studies have emphasized one thing in common: dandelion, although good, must be used in moderation and is recommended to be used under the guidance of a medical professional.
Brother Zhang decided to record his physical changes in the past six months and all the knowledge he learned about dandelions in his health diary.
He also began to teach the community how to use dandelion scientifically instead of blindly following the trend.
Half a year of health practice not only made Brother Zhang healthier, but also allowed him to find a new joy of life and a new role in the community after retirement, as a health consultant.
Dandelion does have many health benefits, but why does it work differently in different people?
Next, we will analyze in detail the pharmacological effects of dandelion and its actual effect in people with different constitutions.
