Uncle Li called me, and there was a hint of excitement in his tone: "Lao Zhang, I have been in very good health recently, and I feel a lot younger, all thanks to drinking ginger water every day," When I heard this, my curiosity was immediately aroused.
As a veteran Chinese medicine practitioner for more than 30 years, I have seen too many kinds of health secrets, and I also have a little understanding of ginger, a common ingredient, but every time I hear someone boast about how miraculous a certain health care method is, I will remind them to be cautious, after all, there is no panacea for health care, and more often it needs to be different from person to person.
Taking advantage of the free weekend, I asked Uncle Li to come out for tea and have a good chat about his health experience, when we met, Uncle Li had a red face and was in good spirits, not at all like a 63-year-old man, he smiled stupidly and joked with me: "Lao Zhang, do you also want to know my health secrets?" ＂
Uncle Li was a university teacher before retirement, he was very studious, by chance, he heard from a Taoist friend that ginger soaked in water is very beneficial to the body, so he began a daily cup of ginger water health journey, "I insisted on drinking for more than half a year, two days ago I went to the hospital for a physical examination, the doctor praised me for being in good health," Uncle Li said proudly.
I looked at his physical examination report with great interest, the indicators are indeed very normal, especially the blood lipids and blood sugar are well controlled, it seems that the health on weekdays is still effective, Uncle Li took a sip of tea, and began to talk endlessly about the benefits of ginger: warm the stomach and drive away cold, stop vomiting and reduce phlegm, reduce blood lipids, anti-inflammatory and analgesic, the more he talked, the more energetic, as if he had opened the conversation.
I couldn't help but listen carefully to my old friend's eloquent narration, and feel the enthusiasm and joy in his words, in fact, health experts like Uncle Li are not uncommon among my patients and friends, they are full of curiosity and love for life, always exploring various health regimens, and willing to share their own experiences.
However, as a doctor, I also know that health care is not child's play, I remind Uncle Li, although ginger is good, but can not be overeaten, according to modern medical research, ginger contains gingerol, volatile oil and other nutrients, with warm stomach, anti-nausea, anti-inflammatory, lipid-lowering and other effects, but ginger is warm, more food is easy to get angry, especially yin deficiency and fire, gastrointestinal inflammation of the people, more cautious, in addition to ginger should not be taken with some drugs, so as not to affect the efficacy.
I suggest Uncle Li, drink some ginger water in moderation on weekdays, 3-5 grams of ginger a day is enough, you don't have to drink more, but also pay attention to diet and daily life, moderate exercise, and ensure sleep, which is the key to health care.
Uncle Li nodded yes again and again, and asked me: "Lao Zhang, look at my physical foundation, can I already be regarded as 'old and strong'?" I smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "You are only in your early sixties, which is the age of enjoying Qingfu, don't look at our age, as long as we usually pay more attention, it will not be a problem to live to 99, and then we will drink tea again and talk about health." ＂
Uncle Li laughed: "That's a good feeling, I'll wait for you to have a treat." ＂
After dinner, I recalled the conversation with Uncle Li, and sincerely sighed: health care seems simple, but there is also a lot of knowledge, in traditional medicine, the simple philosophy of "the unity of man and nature", emphasizing the harmony and unity of man and nature, only by respecting the laws of nature, conforming to the four seasons of health, in order to achieve the realm of physical and mental health, at the same time, the progress of modern medicine, so that our understanding and treatment of diseases are more scientific and accurate, the integration of new and old medical concepts, will bring new vitality to the cause of health care.
Everyone's physical condition is different, the living environment is also different, the way of health, can not be generalized, not to be superstitious home remedies secret techniques, according to local conditions, different from person to person, under the guidance of traditional wisdom, combined with scientific evidence, to find the most suitable health path for themselves, is the right choice, I remember a patient once asked me: "Is there a health care method that is suitable for everyone?" I told him, "The best regimen for you is the one you can live a healthy lifestyle for the rest of your life." ＂
I think Uncle Li can have today's good body, on the one hand, thanks to the health effect of ginger water, but also inseparable from his diligent and self-disciplined healthy life over the years, regular work and rest, light diet, moderate exercise, optimistic attitude, these simple and unpretentious health care methods, is the true meaning of health care that each of us should pursue.
The road to health is long, the road is long and difficult, I hope everyone can find their own health code and live their most wonderful life! Let us work hand in hand to care for the evergreen tree of life.
