"You are too negligent in physical examination, this is not only a matter of the elderly, the lifestyle habits of young people are directly related to the current health status."
Dr. Zhang Dawei sighed and looked up at the patient in front of him.
On an ordinary morning, Zhao Dashan, a 63-year-old retired postman, had just experienced the biggest shock of his life.
Last night he was still drinking with his old buddies until late at night, and this morning, he suddenly felt weakness on the left side of his body, and his speech began to be slurred.
After being rushed to the hospital, Zhao Dashan was diagnosed with cerebral infarction.
Fortunately, he was treated in time and is temporarily safe.
Zhao Dashan lives in an old community in the center of the city, and a new rehabilitation center has recently opened downstairs for middle-aged and elderly people.
After years of hard work, Zhao Dashan didn't really care much about his physical condition, and always felt that "Lao Tie's body was hard", and it wasn't until this sudden illness that he began to re-examine his health.
During the opening of the rehabilitation center, Zhao Dashan experienced a whole-body conditioning and felt relaxed as he had never been.
He listened to the rehabilitation therapist at the center explain the role of various rehabilitation equipment, and began to reflect in his heart that he had indeed been unrestrained in his diet and living habits over the years;
It is often fried food, high-salt and high-sugar food, almost no exercise, and a physical examination is rare once in three years.
In the hospital, Dr. Zhang Dawei inquired in detail about Zhao Dashan's living habits and analyzed the reasons based on his medical records.
Zhao Dashan's blood pressure, blood lipids and blood sugar are all the result of the accumulation of long-term bad habits.
The doctor told him that cases like his are not uncommon in hospitals, and many middle-aged and elderly people have to pay the price when they reach old age because they did not pay attention to their health when they were young.
And this time, Dr. Zhang Dawei put forward a point that Zhao Dashan did not expect: "In fact, your situation has a lot to do with your work as a postman when you were young. ”
Zhao Dashan was stunned, he didn't expect that his profession would also be a factor in health problems.
"When you were younger, you were outdoors every day, but working outdoors for long periods of time was exposed to different environmental and weather conditions, which was a challenge for your cardiovascular system.
Coupled with the lack of scientific diet and rest, health risks have slowly accumulated. ”
According to the data, people who have been engaged in outdoor manual labor for a long time do have a higher incidence of cardiovascular disease than the general office population without taking appropriate protective measures.
These data highlight the potential impact of career choices and work environments on health, and even seemingly healthy outdoor activities require attention to the science of the way and environment.
In this conversation, Zhang Dawei also mentioned several similar cases, such as a worker who worked in a highly polluted environment for many years;
Not long ago, he suffered from a serious respiratory illness due to long-term inhalation of bad gases.
These stories remind Zhao once again that any profession has its health risks, and the key is how to find balance and protection at work.
Back at the rehabilitation center, Zhao Dashan became more involved in every rehabilitation session, and he began to reduce fried and high-salt foods and increase the intake of vegetables and fruits, while insisting on daily walks and appropriate physical exercise.
His lifestyle has quietly changed, not only for his recovery, but also for a healthy life in the future.
Are we neglecting the protection of our own health in the pursuit of professional success? How do you find the right balance between career development and health care?
From the perspective of occupational health, we need to pay attention not only to the effectiveness of work, but also to the impact of long-term work on health.
Specifically, how should effective health protection measures be implemented in different occupations to prevent health problems caused by poor working conditions or improper living habits?
Here, we can explore a variety of prevention strategies and health promotion measures to ensure that every professional can pursue long-term career development while protecting their health.
