"Summer is here, and it's the season when the pancreatic wards in hospitals are full." Doctor Professor Li said with a sigh. This sentence suddenly broke the lively atmosphere of the Zhang family's housewarming banquet, and everyone looked at Professor Li in unison.
On this day, Zhang Daqiang's cousin Zhang Xiaohua had just moved into a new home, and the whole family held a grand housewarming banquet in the hotel. Zhang Xiaohua is a careful person and specially invited all relatives and friends to celebrate. This banquet is not only rich in dishes, but also lively in the atmosphere. Zhang Daqiang, a professional engineer, chatted with his relatives while eating delicious dishes. Just when everyone was talking and laughing, Professor Li's words attracted everyone's attention.
"Professor Li, why does the number of pancreatic patients in the hospital increase in summer?" Zhang Xiaohua asked curiously.
"There's a reason for that." Professor Li put down his chopsticks and said, "In the hot summer, people like to eat some irritating foods, such as cold drinks, barbecue and fried food, which will have a great burden on the pancreas. The pancreas is a very fragile organ, and it is particularly sensitive to changes in diet, especially in summer. ”
After listening to Professor Li's words, everyone nodded their heads in understanding. Zhang Daqiang's wife, Li Mei, is also a careful person, and she couldn't help asking, "Then how should we pay attention?" ”
"That's a good question." Professor Li smiled and continued, "Since everyone is here today, I will tell you a few things that you should pay attention to in summer, especially the three things you should do less. ”
"First things first, eat less cold drinks." Professor Li tapped the table with chopsticks and motioned for everyone to listen, "In the hot summer, many people like to drink iced drinks and eat ice cream. Although these cold drinks can temporarily cool down, they are a great burden on the pancreas. After receiving cold drinks, the pancreas will quickly secrete a large amount of pancreatic juice for digestion, which can easily lead to pancreatitis. This is especially important for those who already have pancreatic disease. ”
Zhang Daqiang's cousin Wang Xiaoli listened, frowned and said, "But it feels very uncomfortable not to drink cold drinks in summer!" ”
Professor Li smiled and nodded: "Indeed, many people have this idea. In fact, you can choose to drink some warm water or fruit juice at room temperature, which can quench your thirst without burdening the pancreas. ”
"The second thing, eat less fried food." Professor Li continued, "Fried foods are not only high in calories, but also very high in fat, which can increase the workload of the pancreas. Especially in the summer, fried foods are more likely to trigger acute pancreatitis.
I remember a patient, surnamed Zhang, who was a chef. He was particularly fond of fried food, and as a result, he suddenly fell ill on a hot summer night and was already very serious when he was sent to the hospital. ”
Zhang Xiaohua nodded: "That's right, I've also heard that fried food is not good, but I didn't expect it to be so serious." ”
"Yes," Professor Li continued, "the third thing is to eat less barbecue. Many people like to eat barbecue and drink beer in summer evenings. Although these things are delicious, they are very stimulating to the pancreas. Grilled food contains a lot of carcinogens and is also high in fat. Long-term consumption increases the risk of pancreatic disease. ”
When Zhang Daqiang heard this, he couldn't help but say: "Then how can we prevent pancreatic disease?" ”
"The prevention method is actually very simple," Professor Li said with a smile, "the main thing is to pay attention to the diet, eat less cold drinks, fried foods and barbecue, and eat more light foods, such as vegetables, fruits and whole grains." In addition, it is necessary to maintain good lifestyle habits, avoid overeating, and maintain proper exercise. ”
After listening to Professor Li's words, everyone said that they benefited a lot. Zhang Daqiang's mother, Mrs. Zhang, said with a smile: "It seems that we will have to pay more attention to our diet in the future, and we can't eat as casually as before." ”
Professor Li nodded: "Yes, although pancreatic diseases are common, they can be prevented as long as you pay attention to your diet and lifestyle habits." ”
Just when everyone was chatting happily, Zhang Daqiang's mobile phone suddenly rang. He picked up his phone and saw that it was the company's phone. Zhang Daqiang is an engineer and usually has a busy job, but he still decided to answer the phone.
"Hey, Zhang Gong, there's a project you need to deal with." The boss's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Zhang Daqiang sighed helplessly: "Okay, I'll go over immediately." ”
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Daqiang said to his family: "I'm sorry, everyone, I have something to go first." ”
Professor Li patted Zhang Daqiang on the shoulder: "Work is important, but health is more important. Take my words to heart, watch your diet, and take care of your pancreas. ”

Zhang Daqiang nodded and left the hotel. He walked down the street, thinking about Professor Li's words, and silently made up his mind that he must pay attention to his diet and protect his health in the future.
A few days later, in his spare time, Zhang Daqiang deliberately found some information about pancreatic diseases. He found that pancreatic disease is a problem that cannot be ignored, especially in the summer. Cold drinks, fried foods, and barbecues are seemingly ordinary foods that can cause such a big burden on the pancreas.
Zhang Daqiang decided to tell more people about this knowledge. He posted an article on the company's intranet detailing Professor Li's advice and citing some medical data. For example, one study showed that long-term consumption of foods high in fat and sugar significantly increased the incidence of pancreatitis. Another study showed that maintaining a healthy diet can reduce the risk of pancreatic disease by more than 30%.
When colleagues in the company saw Zhang Daqiang's article, they all said that they benefited a lot. Some people even left a message in the comment area to thank Zhang Daqiang for providing valuable information. Zhang Daqiang was very relieved to see these feedbacks.
Time passed, and summer gradually came to an end. Zhang Daqiang and his family members strictly followed Professor Li's advice to pay attention to their diet and maintain healthy living habits. As a result, they found that no one in the family had pancreatic disease all summer and was in good health.
Zhang Daqiang sighed: "It seems that Professor Li's suggestion is really useful!" ”
Li Mei said with a smile: "Yes, we all have to pay attention in the future, and we can't eat casually anymore." ”
Zhang Daqiang nodded: "That's right, health is the most important thing." ”
At the end of the story, Zhang Daqiang decides to remind his family and friends to pay attention to their diet and protect their pancreas every summer. Because he knows that only a healthy body can better enjoy life and meet the challenges of the future.
Question: Why is there a high incidence of pancreatic diseases in summer and relatively few in other seasons?
Answer: The main reasons for the high incidence of pancreatic diseases in summer are as follows:
- Changes in eating habits: In the hot summer, people are more inclined to eat cold drinks and cold foods such as ice cream. After these foods enter the body, they will stimulate the pancreas to secrete a large amount of pancreatic juice, increase the workload of the pancreas, and easily cause pancreatitis.
- Barbecue and fried foods: Summer evenings are the peak time to eat barbecue, and barbecued and fried foods are not only high in calories, but also very high in fat. These foods can cause the pancreas to overwork, increasing the risk of pancreatitis.
- Increased alcohol consumption: In summer, people prefer to gather in the evening to drink beer, and alcohol has a direct stimulating effect on the pancreas, which can increase the incidence of pancreatitis.
- High temperature environment: The high temperature in summer increases the burden on the body's digestive system, and the pancreas is no exception. In a high temperature environment, the body's metabolic rate increases, and the burden on the pancreas also increases.
On the whole, dietary habits and high temperature environment in summer are the main reasons for the high incidence of pancreatic diseases. Therefore, in summer, it is necessary to pay special attention to diet, avoid cold drinks, fried foods and excessive alcohol consumption, and maintain healthy lifestyle habits to effectively prevent the occurrence of pancreatic diseases.
