"There may be something wrong with your gut microbiome balance." Doctor Li looked up at Li Hua in front of him and said softly.
Li Hua, 59, a senior accountant, is quite famous in the workplace, but has been feeling a loss of appetite lately.
Every time she finished eating, she always felt an upset stomach in her stomach, as if every bite of food was protesting.
On this day, Li Hua decided to go to the hospital for examination.
The results showed that her gut flora was dysbiosis and she needed to adjust her diet and lifestyle habits to improve her condition.
Dr Lee explained that gut health has a non-negligible impact on a person's overall health, and if it is out of balance, it can lead to a range of problems such as irritable bowel syndrome, obesity and even low mood.
Li Hua returned home and began to re-examine his eating habits.
Due to her busy schedule, she often has no time to eat normally, and lunch is usually solved in a hurry, and fast food and fried food become the norm.
Dr. Lee's warning made her realize that this eating habit could be the culprit behind her health problems.
The change began, and Li Hua tried to eat more fermented foods, such as yogurt and kimchi, to increase the number of probiotics in his gut.
At the same time, she reduced her intake of high-sugar and high-fat foods and switched to more vegetables and whole grains.
However, changing eating habits doesn't happen overnight, especially for someone like Li Hua who has developed a habit over the years.
One day, after lunch, Li Hua suddenly felt tightness in his chest and difficulty breathing.
Although she had adjusted her diet under the advice of her doctor, it was still difficult for her to eat in a healthy way due to the dual effects of work pressure and life rhythm.
This time, the situation seems more serious than ever.
After being rushed to the hospital, doctors diagnosed Li Hua with acute stomach distension, which was due to her eating too quickly and the sharp change in food types, which made her body unable to adapt.
Dr Lee re-emphasised the importance of dietary habits for health, and specifically mentioned that dietary changes should be gradual and avoid drastic changes.
This experience made Li Hua completely awake, and she began to pay more attention to the quality of each meal and the speed of eating.
Not only that, Li Hua also began to study the relevant knowledge of intestinal health, and learned about the close relationship between intestinal microbes and human health.
In the process, Li Hua learned that the gut microbiome is a complex ecosystem that not only helps digest food, but also affects a person's immune system and psychological state.
For example, the gut produces large amounts of neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, which are essential for maintaining emotional balance.
Over time, Li Hua's health has improved significantly.
She has a stable weight and is in better spirits than ever.
She realizes that small changes to a healthy lifestyle can have long-term benefits.
This story teaches us that gut health may be an aspect that many people overlook, but it is actually closely related to our overall health.
With proper dietary modifications and lifestyle changes, we can not only improve gut health, but also prevent the occurrence of many chronic diseases.
Li Hua's experience raises the question: should we also pay more attention to the rhythm and manner of eating while pursuing healthy eating? How to achieve this in a busy life?
This requires us to think and practice from multiple perspectives, such as setting regular meal times, eating less during working hours, and choosing foods that are easy to digest and nutritionally balanced.
Through these methods, we can avoid putting additional burden on the body while ensuring nutrition.
