"You know what? Some foods really have to be controlled, otherwise there will be big problems. ”
Uncle Zhang finished Tai Chi in the park and sat on a bench with his old friend Li Lao Wu to rest.
began to talk about his friend Liu, who unfortunately passed away.
Brother Liu is a good friend of Uncle Zhang, who used to work as a mechanic in a factory.
They commute to work together every day, walk together, and do tai chi together in the park.
But Brother Liu has a habit of eating meat.
This is especially true for fatty red meats, offal foods, fried foods and pickles.
Uncle Zhang persuaded him several times, but Brother Liu always smiled and waved his hand, saying:
"I don't do Tai Chi every day, my body is very good, I'm not afraid!"
However, the truth is not as optimistic as Brother Liu imagined.
A few months ago, Brother Liu had a sudden myocardial infarction and was sent to the hospital for rescue, and finally left this world.
The doctor said to Uncle Zhang regretfully: "This situation is too common for him, he obviously has coronary heart disease, and he still doesn't pay attention to diet control." ”
Uncle Zhang remembered the doctor's advice at that time and decided to pass on this knowledge to his old friends:
"There are some foods that patients with coronary heart disease really can't eat too much, and the doctor said that four foods are particularly dangerous."
The first, high-fat red meat. Brother Liu's favorite food is braised pork, which is fat and thin, and it is very fragrant.
However, red meat is high in saturated fat and cholesterol, which can easily lead to arteriosclerosis.
Arteriosclerosis is one of the main causes of coronary heart disease.
The doctor told a case of a patient who liked red meat like Brother Liu, but his blood lipids were frighteningly high, and he eventually died of a heart attack.
The second type is animal offal. Brother Liu often said: "The liver and waist are fried together, and the blood is nourished and nourished." ”
As everyone knows, these offal foods have higher cholesterol content.
Eating these things for a long time will not only increase blood lipids, but also increase the burden on the heart.
The third type is fried food. Brother Liu is especially fond of deep-fried crispy pork and fried chicken thighs.
A lot of trans fatty acids are produced during frying, which not only raises bad cholesterol.
It also lowers good cholesterol, which is very damaging to cardiovascular health.
Fourth, high-salt pickled foods such as pickles. Brother Liu must have a plate of pickles for every meal, and he feels appetizing and delicious.
These pickles contain a lot of salt, and the sodium in salt can raise blood pressure, which is an important factor in coronary heart disease.
The doctor told Uncle Zhang that there was an old man in his 70s who loved to eat pickles.
As a result, blood pressure could not be lowered for a long time, and finally heart failure was triggered.
Uncle Zhang took a deep breath and said to Li Lao Wu: "Although these things are delicious, you really can't be greedy. ”
Li Lao Wu nodded, thoughtful: You're right, at our age, we really have to pay attention.
"Look at Brother Liu, people are so good, but it's a pity that they left because of these eating habits."
Uncle Zhang patted Li Lao Wu on the shoulder: Yes, the doctor also said.
If Brother Liu could have paid attention to his diet earlier, coupled with regular exercise, he might have lived for a few more decades.
In life, people are often faced with various temptations of food, so how can we balance the relationship between food enjoyment and health?
Secondly, it is necessary to formulate a reasonable diet plan, control the intake of high-fat, high-sugar, and high-salt foods, and choose healthy ingredients in moderation.
Healthy cooking methods such as cooking with less oil and steaming instead of frying can be used to ensure that the food tastes delicious and reduce health risks.
At the same time, don't forget to go to the hospital on time for check-ups and change your diet and lifestyle according to your body.
In addition, it is still necessary to have a sense of exercise and strengthen your physique, so that you can enjoy food and stay healthy.
Hope it helps, thank you!
