"I'm sorry, but no matter how healthy your heart is, certain habits will always weigh it down."
On a small street in the center of Jinan, at the door of the newly opened rehabilitation and conditioning center, doctor Li Hua is explaining to a confused middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man, named Zhang Wei, is a busy programmer who usually has a lot of pressure at work and an irregular life.
Zhang Wei came home from work today and found that this new conditioning center had opened downstairs, and thought that it might help relieve his pressure, so he walked in.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the door, I heard Dr. Li Hua's words.
This sentence made Zhang Wei involuntarily stop and start thinking about his living habits.
Li Hua saw Zhang Wei's curiosity and explained in detail.
First, he talked about the problem of sleep deprivation.
Zhang Wei often only sleeps four or five hours because he stays up late to work.
Li Hua explained that long-term sleep deprivation can lead to an increased burden on the heart and increase the risk of heart disease.
A long-term study of 10,000 adults showed that people who slept less than six hours a day had a 33% higher incidence of heart disease than those who slept normally.
Li Hua then pointed out the problem of unhealthy eating.
In order to save time, many white-collar workers like Zhang Wei often eat out and choose fast food or fried food.
These foods are high in saturated fat and cholesterol, which is extremely bad for the heart.
A study in the United States found that people who eat fast food regularly are 40% more likely to develop heart disease than those who eat fast food occasionally or do not eat it.
The third problem is the lack of exercise.
Zhang Wei spends most of his work sitting in front of the computer, and he sits all day.
Lack of exercise slows metabolism, leading to weight gain and increasing the risk of heart disease.
According to the World Health Organization, about 31% of adults worldwide are inactive.
In order to explain these problems in more depth, Li Hua shared some specific cases.
He mentioned a patient named Li Ming, who was only 42 years old next year and had severe coronary artery disease due to long stay-at-nights and bad lifestyle habits.
By adjusting his work and rest schedule, improving his eating habits and increasing the amount of exercise, Li Ming's health has improved significantly.
Zhang Wei was deeply touched by these concrete examples and data, and he began to think about how to change his lifestyle.
Back home, he decided to develop a wellness plan that included a reasonable schedule of work and rest time, improved eating habits, and joining a nearby fitness center.
"If we can monitor our heart health and lifestyle habits in real time through technology, can we effectively prevent heart disease from happening?"
This question aroused Zhang Wei's interest, and he began to study the techniques and materials in detail in this area.
He found that some wearable devices can monitor vital signs such as heart rate and blood pressure in real time, and collect and analyze data through mobile apps to help users keep abreast of their health.
Through in-depth analysis, Zhang Wei learned about the potential of this technology and how it can help people better manage their heart health.
He believes that this will not only improve the efficiency of personal health management, but also greatly reduce the medical expenses caused by heart disease.
Eventually, he wrote an article about how this technology is changing modern medicine and shared it within the community, hoping to inspire more people to pay attention to their health.
