"When you are old, you would rather not eat meat for three days, and don't eat meat more than this frequency." Zhang Xiaoming stood in the business hall, and the doctor's warning sounded in his ears, which made him feel shocked.
On a hot day, he was queuing up to pay the electricity bill, when he suddenly heard someone behind him calling him: "Xiao Ming, you are also here to pay the electricity bill?" ”
Zhang Xiaoming looked back and saw that it was Li Qiang, an old classmate he hadn't seen for many years, who had just come out of the hospital. Li Qiang's face was slightly tired, and Zhang Xiaoming asked with concern: "Li Qiang, you just came out of the hospital?" ”
"Yes, a few days ago, when I checked my body, the doctor said that my cholesterol was a little high, and he also reminded me to eat less meat, especially red meat." Li Qiang said helplessly.
Zhang Xiaoming is also a white-collar worker, usually busy with work, often socializing, and eating irregularly. Recently, he also feels a little unwell, especially after every big fish and meat, he always feels gastrointestinal discomfort, and occasionally has a feeling of chest tightness. Hearing Li Qiang's words, he couldn't help but be a little worried.
"What's going on? What did the doctor say? Zhang Xiaoming asked eagerly.
"The doctor said that when you are old, you should eat a light diet, especially red meat, and control the frequency of intake. Generally speaking, it is enough to eat red meat once a week, and it is better not to eat meat for three days than to eat it too often. Li Qiang explained.
Zhang Xiaoming was taken aback: "Once a week? Why so little? ”
The doctor said that red meat contains a lot of saturated fatty acids and cholesterol, and eating too much will increase the cholesterol level in the blood, which can easily lead to arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Especially for the elderly, the body's metabolic function is declining, so it is more important to pay attention to it. Li Qiang said.
Zhang Xiaoming thoughtfully: "It seems that a light diet is really important. Did the doctor say which meats should be eaten in moderation? ”
"Doctors say that white meat is healthier than red meat, such as chicken, fish and rabbit, which contains less saturated fatty acids and is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and high-quality protein, which is good for the body." Li Qiang replied.
Zhang Xiaoming nodded: "These suggestions seem quite practical. ”
Li Qiang continued: "The doctor also reminded you to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits and maintain a balanced diet, so as to better maintain your health. ”
Zhang Xiaoming thought thoughtfully: "It seems that the usual eating habits really need to be adjusted. ”
Li Qiang nodded: "That's right, the doctor also mentioned that it is necessary to avoid excessive intake of fried foods and high-sugar foods, which are also very burdensome to the body." ”
Zhang Xiaoming listened carefully: "These suggestions are indeed very practical. By the way, did the doctor mention any specific cases that you can share so that we can better understand? ”
Li Qiang thought for a while and said: "There is an old man, in his sixties, who usually likes to eat braised pork, and every meal is inseparable from red meat. As a result, last year, I suddenly felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and when I went to the hospital for a check, it turned out to be arteriosclerosis. The doctor said that this had a lot to do with his long-term high intake of red meat. ”
Zhang Xiaoming was terrified when he heard this: "I really didn't expect that eating meat can cause so many problems." ”
"Yes," Li Qiang said, "the doctor especially emphasized that the elderly should have a light diet and avoid excessive intake of high-fat and high-cholesterol foods." ”
Zhang Xiaoming nodded: "This is a good suggestion." ”
"Another example is an old lady, in her seventies, who usually likes to eat fried food, several times a week. As a result, one day I suddenly felt abdominal pain and was sent to the hospital for a check-up and found gallstones. The doctor said that the old lady's condition had a lot to do with her long-term intake of large amounts of fried food. Li Qiang continued.
Zhang Xiaoming frowned: "It seems that eating habits are really important. ”
"That's right," Li Qiang said, "The doctor especially reminded you to pay attention to a balanced diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and maintain the nutritional balance of the body." ”
Zhang Xiaoming thought thoughtfully: "So in addition to these, is there anything else that needs to be paid attention to?" ”
"Yes," Li Qiang replied, "The doctor said that you should maintain a good routine and rest, avoid staying up late, and do more moderate exercise to enhance your physique." ”
Zhang Xiaoming nodded: "It seems that a healthy lifestyle is really the key." ”
Li Qiang said with a smile: "Yes, the doctor also deliberately emphasized that it is necessary to have regular physical examinations and timely detection and control of risk factors such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia, so as to effectively prevent various diseases." ”
Zhang Xiaoming sighed: "It seems that I also have to take good care of my health." ”
The two chatted for a while and then went home. Zhang Xiaoming returned home and decided to start today, according to the doctor's advice, pay attention to his eating habits, reduce the intake of red meat, and strive to stay healthy. Li Qiang, on the other hand, plans to buy some fresh vegetables and fruits to add an extra layer of protection to his health.
This summer, they all learned how to eat right and stay away from unhealthy eating habits. They believe that as long as they stick to it, a healthy life will surely bring more joy and happiness.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the business hall, Zhang Xiaoming and Li Qiang looked curiously, and it turned out to be a group of people discussing a recent health topic.
"By the way, Li Qiang, did the doctor say that there are any specific food recommendations?" Zhang Xiaoming asked.
Li Qiang thought for a while and said, "Doctors recommend eating more foods rich in fiber and vitamins, such as oats, whole wheat bread, beans, etc., which can help maintain intestinal health and reduce blood cholesterol. ”
"Sounds good, I'll have to go back and try it." Zhang Xiaoming nodded.
Li Qiang smiled and said: "That's right, only by choosing the right food for yourself can you maintain good health." ”
Zhang Xiaoming suddenly thought of a question: "Li Qiang, you said that these foods are good for the body, are there any particularities and taboos between them?" ”
Li Qiang nodded and said, "That's a good question. For example, fiber-rich foods are good, but they should not be consumed in excess, otherwise they can cause gastrointestinal upset. Also, although beans are nutritious, they should not be eaten in large quantities every day to avoid causing bloating. ”
Zhang Xiaoming listened carefully: "It seems that the eating habits are really very knowledgeable. ”
"Yes, there are two sides to everything, the key is to choose the right diet according to your own situation." Li Qiang said.
Zhang Xiaoming nodded: "Thank you, Li Qiang, I really benefited a lot today." ”
"You're welcome, we're all old classmates, and it's right to help each other." Li Qiang said with a smile.
The two chatted for a while and then went home. When Zhang Xiaoming returned home, he decided to follow the doctor's advice from today onwards, pay attention to his eating habits, and strive to stay healthy. Li Qiang, on the other hand, plans to buy some foods rich in fiber and vitamins to add an extra layer of protection to his health.
This summer, they all learned how to eat right and stay away from unhealthy eating habits. They believe that as long as they stick to it, a healthy life will surely bring more joy and happiness.
