"Doctor, I've heard that there are two habits that can make people less susceptible to heart disease, is that true?" As soon as Uncle Zhao entered the consultation room, he couldn't wait to ask the doctor.
Today he came to the central hospital in the hope of finding an effective way to prevent heart disease. Faced with his question, Dr. Li was ready to give this studious old man a satisfactory answer.
"Uncle Zhao, there is a close relationship between certain lifestyle habits and heart health." Dr. Li began to explain, speaking at a slow pace, to make sure that Uncle Zhao could hear every word clearly.
"First and foremost, exercise, such as brisk walking or swimming, can reduce the risk of disease." Dr. Lee said as he showed a chart on exercise and heart health.
"Second, it's diet." Dr. Lee opened a nutrition booklet and pointed to the colorful food pictures on it and explained: "Especially a diet rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and low-fat meat and fish, which are all good friends for heart health." ”
"For example, omega-3 fatty acids, which are widely found in deep-sea fish, are effective in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. At the same time, fiber-rich foods can help lower blood pressure and cholesterol, which is also very good for heart health. ”
Dr. Lee then further emphasised the importance of quitting smoking and alcohol. Towards the end of the discussion, Uncle Zhao asked, "I have high blood pressure, how can I exercise safely in such a situation?" ”
Dr. Lee replied, "Usually, we would recommend starting some, like walking or yoga. At the same time, keep it in the habit of monitoring your blood pressure to ensure that exercise is done within a safe range. ”
After listening to Dr. Li's advice, Uncle Zhao felt that he had a clearer direction on how to actually improve his lifestyle. He carefully jotted down all the advice, including how to start an exercise routine step by step and how to adjust his diet to suit his health.
During the meeting, Uncle Zhao also said to Dr. Li: "Dr. Li, I will do what you say, and I hope to bring you some good news next time." ”
When he was about to leave, another question suddenly came to mind, which was also a long-standing doubt in his mind: "Dr. Li, I have a question that I have never understood, why do some people still have heart disease despite not smoking or drinking, and their lives are very regular?" ”
After listening carefully to Uncle Zhao's question, Dr. Li replied, "Uncle Zhao, this is indeed a very good question. Even if some people have a seemingly healthy lifestyle, they may still be at higher risk of heart disease due to genetic factors or other uncontrollable risk factors, such as early environmental exposure. ”
Dr. Lee continues, "Also, a 'seemingly healthy lifestyle' may not be exactly in line with all the recommendations for heart health. For example, they may be consuming too much hidden salt or sugar, or they may be poorly managing stress, which may increase the risk of heart disease. So check your body on time. ”
Uncle Zhao listened to this explanation and felt very inspired. "I see, I see. Thank you, Dr. Lee, your answer today is very helpful. He said gratefully.
Through such communication, not only does it enhance the trust of the patient, but it also makes the doctor's work more meaningful. On the way home, Uncle Zhao was even more determined to adjust his lifestyle according to the doctor's advice in order to hope for a healthier future.
