"Why has my hair fallen out so much lately?" Song Tao looked in the mirror while grabbing the comb full of hair, a little helpless.
As an energetic middle school physical education teacher, he usually has to move around, but lately, for some reason, he feels that he is always bored, and his hair is falling out badly, which really gives him a headache.
On the recommendation of a friend, Song Tao decided to go to the big hospital in the city center to find out the reason why his hair fell out so much.
The doctor gave him a thorough examination, and when the results came out, the doctor told him the unexpected news - his blood lipid level was frighteningly high, and he had to start treatment immediately.
The doctor was a humorous and serious middle-aged man, and when he explained Song Tao's condition, he didn't forget to make a few jokes to relieve the tense atmosphere.
"You know, your veins may be more blocked than the roads in Beijing." The doctor joked. Then he reminded him solemnly, "But seriously, if you don't pay attention to your diet, the situation can be really serious." ”
After listening to the doctor's words, Song Tao was a little worried, eager to know how to improve his health by adjusting his diet. The doctor gave him some specific dietary advice, specifically pointing out three types of foods that he needed to eat less:
Certain vegetables that grow underground: While these vegetables are generally healthy, they should be limited for people with high blood lipids. Doctors say that eating too much of these high-starch vegetables will convert them into sugar in the body, which may increase blood lipids.
Snacks with "hidden sugars": Although these snacks taste good, they actually contain a lot of sugar and invert sugar, which directly affects blood lipid levels. The doctor especially reminded Song Tao that those seemingly harmless packaged foods may actually be the "invisible killers" of blood lipids.
Certain types of red meat: Doctors also advised Song Tao to reduce the intake of certain types of red meat, as these meats contain more saturated fat, which directly affects blood lipid levels.
Through these specific dietary suggestions, Song Tao began to slowly adjust his eating habits.
He learned how to read hidden sugars on food labels, try to eat less high-starch subterranean vegetables, and cut back on red meat and eat more healthier proteins like fish and chicken.
After a few months, Song Tao felt that his physical strength had obviously improved, and his hair was not so bad. The results of the blood lipid level re-examination were also much better, which made him quite happy.
In this process, Song Tao gradually understood the importance of a healthy life. By adjusting his diet, he not only improved his blood lipids, but also improved his quality of life.
In addition, the doctor talked to him about some other patients' cases that demonstrated how much a diet modification can do to improve hyperlipidemia.
Doctors emphasize that while genetic factors can affect blood lipid levels, changing diet and lifestyle habits is something that everyone can do.
Both Song and the doctor feel that health education is key in preventing hyperlipidemia and other metabolic diseases.
They began to think about how educational tools and public policies could be more effectively used to raise awareness of hyperlipidemia and its risks.
After a detailed analysis, they found the answer. First of all, it is necessary to popularize the basic knowledge of hyperlipidemia through various channels such as schools, communities, and the media.
Second, the relevant authorities should develop clearer food labeling regulations to help make it easier for everyone to identify potentially risky ingredients in food.
Finally, through public health policies to support the promotion and advocacy of healthy diets, reduce the marketing of high-risk foods, and fundamentally reduce the incidence of hyperlipidemia.
