"During this time, I always dreamed, and I woke up several times in one night, and I was about to sleepwalk!" Zheng Tianming complained that he was a middle school art teacher, and his sensitivity to color and detail made his life full of art, but it also made him extremely sensitive to his own health.
On the advice of his family doctor, Zheng Tianming went to the hospital for a series of tests, hoping to find the cause of the disruption of his sleep pattern.
The results showed that he suffered from mild renal insufficiency, which was directly related to the quality of his sleep. The doctor advised him to change his diet and add some foods that are good for his kidney health.
"You can try to eat more barley, it's good for your current condition." The doctor looked through his examination report and recommended it to him.
Zheng Tianming was curious about this, he knew that barley was a common ingredient, but he didn't know what it was for.
The doctor explained in detail the two major health benefits of barley: first, barley helps to enhance kidney function and can improve his sleep problems; Secondly, it also has a good anti-edema effect, which can effectively reduce the fatigue and edema of the legs for him who often stands to teach.
While the doctor advised Zheng Tianming to eat barley, he also did not forget to remind him that barley does have many health benefits, but it is not suitable for all people.
In particular, three types of people should be cautious when eating: first, the nature of barley is cold, so those who have a cold stomach or serious stomach disease may feel uncomfortable if they eat too much;
Second, pregnant women are in special physical condition, so it is best not to try;
Finally, people who have an allergic reaction to barley should never touch it.
When Zheng Tianming returned home, he began to try to add barley to his daily diet.
It didn't take long for him to notice that his sleep quality had improved significantly, and the swelling of his legs had also been reduced a lot.
In order to have a deeper understanding of barley, he also deliberately consulted a large number of research materials on barley, and found that the vitamin B and various minerals in barley are very helpful in maintaining healthy kidney function.
Over time, Zheng Tianming's health gradually improved. He began promoting this healthy diet to his colleagues and students, so that more people could learn about the benefits of barley.
At school, he even initiated a "Healthy Living Week" where dietitians were invited to explain how to improve health through daily diet.
In a health talk, Zheng Tianming shared his experience: "I always felt that as long as I was busy with work, my health would naturally follow.
Now I understand that consciously choosing ingredients that are good for the body, such as barley, can improve our physical condition unconsciously. ”
Why do we need to adjust our intake of even healthy foods according to our own physique and actual situation?
This discovery made him realize that everyone's body condition and reaction to food is different. Although a food like barley is good for many people, it may not be so friendly to some people who have a cold constitution or weak digestive function.
Another example is that pregnant women or people with special health conditions who blindly consume barley without consulting a doctor or dietitian may pose unnecessary risks.
Therefore, the choice and consumption of healthy foods should be adjusted according to the specific situation of the individual, and you should not blindly follow the trend just because you have heard that a certain food is beneficial. Adopting a personalized diet strategy is the manifestation of scientific dietary principles.
