"Doctor, take a look, have there been any changes in my body in the past six months when I drink American ginseng soaked in water?"
Uncle Li is over sixty years old, wearing an old but clean Mao suit, with an expectant smile on his face, sitting on a chair in the consultation room. His son, Li Xiaogang, stood beside him, looking concerned. On this day, Uncle Li was taken to the hospital by his son for a physical examination, and his habit was to soak American ginseng in water every morning and drink it, which has not been interrupted for half a year.
During this physical examination, he especially wanted to know if his body had changed because of this habit. "Uncle Li, don't worry, let's take a look at your indicators first." Doctor Wang Hua took Uncle Li's physical examination report and looked at it seriously, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Uncle Li is a retired middle school teacher, who lives a regular life, goes to bed early and gets up early every day, and likes to practice Tai Chi in the park. Half a year ago, he heard his old friend Aunt Zhang say that soaking American ginseng in water is good for health, so he also started to drink a glass of American ginseng water every morning, and he couldn't move.
Dr. Wang Hua patiently explains, "American ginseng does have many benefits, especially for seniors like you. American ginseng is cool and sweet, has the effect of nourishing qi and nourishing yin, clearing away heat and generating Jin, which can improve immunity, improve cardiovascular function, and can also fight fatigue and antioxidation. However, these benefits need to be seen over time, and the results of your exam can reflect some changes. ”
"Then I drank it for half a year, did it have any obvious effect?" Uncle Li asked a little impatiently.
"Judging from the results of the physical examination, your blood pressure, blood lipids and blood sugar are all within the normal range, which is already a very good state for a person in his sixties." Dr. Wang smiled and nodded, "In particular, your immune indicators are performing very well, and there is a significant improvement compared to half a year ago. ”
Li Xiaogang also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "That means that drinking American ginseng soaked in water still has an effect, right?" "So to speak, but Uncle Li, you should pay attention to the fact that although American ginseng has many benefits, you can't rely on it completely, you still have to maintain a healthy lifestyle, eat a balanced diet, and exercise appropriately." Dr Wong added.
"I know, I go to the park every morning to practice Tai Chi!" Uncle Li said with a smile.
Dr. Wang continued, "In fact, many people do not have a comprehensive understanding of American ginseng, and they think that as long as they drink it, they will be able to avoid all diseases. In fact, the effects of American ginseng on the human body are a long-term process, which can help the body better cope with external stresses and challenges, but it cannot replace the effects of medicine. ”
"Is there any data that can explain the effect of American ginseng?" Li Xiaogang asked curiously. Dr. Wang nodded, "American ginseng does have a significant effect in boosting immunity, and the chance of catching a cold is reduced by more than 30% in people who have been taking American ginseng for a long time. In addition, American ginseng can improve cognitive function and delay memory decline in the elderly. ”
"In that case, I'm going to have to keep drinking." Uncle Li touched his beard and nodded with satisfaction. Dr. Wang smiled, "Uncle Li, your insistence is right, but you should also pay attention to the appropriate amount, excessive intake may also cause some side effects, such as stomach discomfort or dizziness." ”
At this time, Li Xiaogang suddenly thought of a question and asked, "Doctor, if my father continues to drink like this, will there be some bad effects?" ”
Dr. Wang shook his head, "As long as it's not too much, it usually won't be too much of a problem." However, it is advisable to have a medical check-up every once in a while so that you can better monitor your physical condition. ”
After hearing this, Uncle Li stood up contentedly and patted his son on the shoulder, "Xiaogang, let's go, let's go buy some fresh American ginseng, go home and continue to soak in water and drink!" Dr. Wang watched them leave, and he was happy for Uncle Li's health.
He knows that maintaining a healthy lifestyle and scientific health habits is something that everyone should adhere to. And Uncle Li's example is the best verification of these views.
