In the bustling city of Shanghai, Li Qiang's life is on the fast track.
At the age of 29, he is a computer programmer, and in addition to writing code, he takes care of his living environment every day.
His girlfriend always half-jokingly said that Li Qiang had two bad problems: one was staying up late, and the other was cleanliness, always spraying around with disinfectant.
One morning, as Li Qiang walked past the newly opened rehabilitation center downstairs of his home, a poster caught his attention: "Stay healthy, start today." ”
He was deeply touched by this sentence and decided to go in and consult.
The doctor at the center looked at Li Qiang's physical examination report and said in a deep voice: "Your lifestyle may need some adjustments, excessive cleaning and irregular sleep are potential health risks. ”
Li Qiang's lifestyle habits are closely related to his recent health diagnosis.
A few weeks ago, he was diagnosed with bladder cancer.
While the news came as a huge blow to him, he was determined not to let it affect his quality of life.
His girlfriend, while sympathetic to his condition, couldn't understand why he was reluctant to change his two "bad habits".
The doctor explained to Li Qiang that staying up late may lead to a decrease in the body's resistance and affect the normal function of various systems in the body, including the immune system, which is especially detrimental for cancer patients.
In addition, the doctor mentioned that although cleaning is a good habit, excessive use of chemical cleaning agents can also be detrimental to health, especially the chemicals in some strong disinfectants, which may enter the body through respiratory or skin exposure, increasing the risk of cancer.
To support these claims, doctors provide some data and research findings.
For example, one study showed that night shift workers had a higher incidence of cancer than those who worked regular hours, largely due to their irregular sleep patterns.
In addition, some epidemiological studies have shown that long-term exposure to chemicals in certain household cleaners, such as chlorine and formaldehyde, is associated with an increased risk of bladder cancer.
Through these exchanges, Li Qiang began to realize that his "love of cleanliness" and "staying up late at work" could indeed be part of the cause of his health problems.
In order to improve his situation, he began to try to adjust his lifestyle.
He cut down on working hours at night, tried to get enough sleep, and began looking for more environmentally friendly cleaning products to replace traditional chemical cleaners.
Over time, Li Qiang has not only felt an improvement in his overall health, but also a significant improvement in his quality of life.
He began to enjoy the rhythm of going to bed early and waking up early, and had a new understanding and arrangement of work and life.
His changes have also inspired his colleagues and friends, and many have begun to ask him how they can live healthier.
Qiang's story shows us that even in the face of serious health challenges, we can influence our health and well-being to a great extent by changing some of the "little habits" in our lives.
This change is simple, but it can have a profound impact on our lives.
This story begs the question: how important is work-life balance for health in modern society, and how can we find a reasonable balance in our busy work and personal lives?
The right balance not only helps reduce health problems, but also improves the overall quality of life.
Finding this balance requires individuals, societies and businesses to work together through flexible work arrangements, guidance on healthy lifestyle habits and corresponding social support systems.
