In a quiet town in Hubei Province, a 56-year-old man named Jiang Guo works as a ride-hailing driver on weekdays.
Although Jiang Guo's job as a taxi driver seems to be quite ordinary, he actually has to sit in the driver's seat for hours every day, which is not easy. The pressure on the busy streets is very high, and the three meals are not on time, and the life and rest are completely chaotic.
One warm afternoon, Jiang Guo, as usual, finished his day's work and began to take a walk in the central park of the small town to release the fatigue and stress of the day.
Jiang Guo, who was walking for a day, suddenly felt dizzy, and the scenery around him began to spin, and he tried with difficulty to hold on to the trees next to him to stabilize his body, but finally fell to the ground weakly. Onlookers immediately called the emergency number, but even though paramedics arrived quickly and provided emergency treatment, Jiang Guo died of a heart attack on the way to the hospital.
After learning about Jiang Guo's living habits, the attending doctor, Dr. Jiang, was very sad to find that Jiang Guo's eating habits had a great negative impact on his health. After a series of examinations and discussions, Dr. Jiang identified two major problem foods in Chiang's diet: high-fat meat and high-sugar drinks.
Due to the nature of his work, Jiang Guo often chose fast food or street food as his main dining choice, which often contained a lot of animal fats and fried ingredients.
Eating those high-fat things all the time not only puts a lot of pressure on the heart and cerebrovascular vessels, but also rubs up the weight after a long time, and as soon as the blood lipids are high, all kinds of tribulations will come.
Dr Jiang explained that animal fats contain a lot of saturated fatty acids, which can be converted into bad cholesterol in the body, which can clog blood vessels and increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.
In addition, in order to cope with the drowsiness while driving, Jiang Guo often drank a lot of sugary drinks and coffee, and the high sugar content in these drinks was another health killer.
Dr. Jiang reminded that if we always drink sugary drinks, our blood sugar levels will rise again and again, so it is easy to get diabetes and may even damage the cardiovascular system. When blood sugar is high, not only the blood vessels will suffer, but also the organs of the whole body will be affected, and in severe cases, there is a real possibility that your life will not be guaranteed.
Dr. Jiang believes that the key is to make everyone understand how important what you eat is to your body. If more people can understand the truth of healthy eating, it will be a great achievement.
When he communicates with other patients and families in the hospital, he often refers to Jiang's case and emphasizes the importance of a balanced diet.
In your daily diet, you should try to replace red meat with fish or white meat such as chicken and duck, which are lower in fat and higher in unsaturated fatty acids, which are beneficial for cardiovascular health.
At the same time, the diet includes whole grains and legumes, which are not only rich in fiber, but also high in B vitamins and minerals, which can go a long way in maintaining overall health.
Dr. Jiang specifically mentioned that try not to eat out every day, and cook by yourself. In this way, we can pick the ingredients and master the cooking method, how good it is for health!
For example, using olive oil or other vegetable oils instead of animal oils in cooking can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by not only reducing the intake of saturated fats in the diet, but also increasing the intake of essential fatty acids.
Dr Kang also often shares healthy cooking tips with his patients, such as steaming, boiling, roasting or stewing instead of frying, to reduce the fat content of food and retain more nutrients.
While discussing these specific diet and health recommendations, Dr. Jiang also realizes that it is not easy to change people's eating habits, especially for those who are busy at work. Therefore, he advocates for a supportive social environment that includes healthy eating options in the workplace, increased promotion of healthy lifestyles in social activities, etc.
If this continues, not only individuals can become healthier, but also the health level of the whole society can be raised. We can all enjoy the benefits and work together to build a better healthy community.
In the face of the growing problem of chronic diseases, we must take action to fundamentally change our lifestyle and eating habits. However, it takes time and sustained effort to change all of this, and most importantly, everyone is conscious and responsible.
