"It seems that your hair loss is not just a genetic problem," Dr. Zhang said contemplatively as he flipped through Li Ming's examination report, "We need to learn more about your lifestyle habits." ”
Li Ming is a busy software engineer who has been under intense work pressure for a long time.
His living habits are irregular, he often works overtime until late at night, falls asleep directly after work, and eats casually.
Recently, he noticed that his hair was falling out more and more, which forced him to seek help from his family doctor, Dr Teo.
After an initial examination, Dr. Zhang began to inquire about Li Ming's specific living habits.
Li Ming admits that his schedule is very irregular, especially when he goes to bed soon after dinner, and he often eats greasy and heavy after dinner.
"Such a lifestyle can really have adverse effects on health,"
Dr. Zhang said, and then mentioned three things that should not be done immediately after dinner: one is to go to bed immediately, the second is to do strenuous exercise right away, and the third is to take a shower immediately.
In particular, he stressed the importance of the first point.
"Lying down immediately to sleep can cause food to build up in the stomach, which can cause stomach upset and even gastroesophageal reflux over time.
What's more, such habits may indirectly affect your endocrine system, which in turn can affect hair growth and loss. Dr. Zhang explained as he pulled out a data report.
According to the data, the proportion of people who went to bed immediately after dinner suffered from gastroesophageal reflux disease was significantly higher than that of people who stayed at least two hours after dinner before going to bed.
At the same time, a higher proportion of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease report hair loss.
These data made Li Ming can't help but have a new understanding of his living habits.
Dr. Zhang also mentioned a particular case of a young programmer who had similar work-life pressures to Li Ming.
The programmer, who slept immediately after dinner for a long time, not only developed severe gastroesophageal reflux disease, but also induced severe mental stress and eventually depression.
After accepting the doctor's advice and adjusting his lifestyle habits, his condition improved significantly.
This story touched Li Ming so much that he began to realize that he needed to change this unhealthy lifestyle.
Dr. Teo also gave him some advice: move for at least half an hour after dinner before going to bed, try to do some light exercise such as walking, and try to eat some light food.
Throughout the diagnosis and treatment process, Dr. Zhang showed Li Ming a new perspective through vivid examples and a large number of data support:
Not only his work pressure, but his habit of going to bed late may be one of the main causes of hair loss.
Then, Dr. Zhang threw out a question that caused Li Ming to think deeply:
"In addition to going to bed immediately after dinner, what other daily behaviors that seem unrelated to hair health that you think may indirectly affect the state of our coat?"
This question is not only an inspiration for Li Ming's thinking, but also for everyone to pay attention to the details of daily life;
A wake-up call to pay more attention to lifestyle habits that are overlooked but actually have a significant impact on health.
Through such discussions and analysis, we can gain a deeper understanding of the delicate and complex relationship between lifestyle habits and health.
