Uncle Chen is a retired worker, who just turned 70 this year, and his body has always been quite strong. Every morning, he would go to the park for morning exercises, and then drink tea and chat with old friends.
Recently, Uncle Chen feels that he has some dull pain in his liver area, especially when he sleeps at night, he will feel uncomfortable when he turns over.
At first, he thought it was too much exercise and didn't pay much attention to it. But after a month of this, he decided to go to the hospital.
In the outpatient clinic of the hospital, Uncle Chen waited in line for a long time, and finally it was his turn, he walked into the consultation room, and the doctor motioned for him to sit down and began to inquire about his condition.
The doctor asked many questions: how was your diet lately, did you eat any particular foods, daily habits, etc.
Uncle Chen recalled carefully and said, "Doctor, I don't usually eat anything special, I just like to eat some soy products such as tofu and dried tofu." The children always said that it was good to eat soy products, but I didn't think much of it. ”
The doctor nodded and suggested that Uncle Chen do a comprehensive examination, and the results of the examination showed that Uncle Chen's liver function indicators were abnormal.
The doctor looked at Uncle Chen seriously and said, "Uncle Chen, your situation may be related to your diet, especially the soy products you mentioned.
We are now increasingly discovering that certain soy products contain high levels of toxin residues, which may be a burden on the liver when consumed for a long time. ”
Hearing this, Uncle Chen was a little stunned and asked, "Doctor, don't soy products always say that they are good for the body?" How can there still be problems? ”
The doctor explained: "Soy products are really good in themselves, rich in protein and have many benefits for the body.
However, some processed soy products, such as dried tofu, tofu skin, soy milk, etc., may add some unhealthy substances during the production process.
In particular, some low-quality soy products may add preservatives, coloring and other chemicals in order to increase the taste and shelf life, which will burden the liver. ”
When Uncle Chen heard this, he asked with some concern: "Then can't I eat soy products in the future?" ”
The doctor smiled and said, "It's not that you can't eat it at all, but you should choose those soy products with guaranteed quality and eat them in moderation."
Especially if you already have abnormal liver function, it is recommended that you temporarily reduce the intake of soy products, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, maintain a balanced diet, and drink more water to help the body detoxify. ”
Uncle Chen nodded and decided to adjust his diet according to the doctor's advice. When he got home, he took out all the dried tofu and tofu skin in the refrigerator, and decided to buy them in a regular supermarket or a trustworthy soy product store in the future.
He also deliberately set some fruit plates on the dining table at home to remind himself to eat more fruits.
A few weeks later, Uncle Chen came to the hospital again for a follow-up, and the doctor told him that his liver function indicators had improved. This made Uncle Chen breathe a sigh of relief, and he also strengthened his determination to pay attention to his diet.
From Uncle Chen's experience, it can be seen that eating habits have a great impact on health. Although soy products are healthy foods, it is also important to be mindful of where they come from and how they are processed.
Especially for the elderly, the body's metabolic capacity is reduced, and it is necessary to pay more attention to the quality and hygiene of the diet.
When choosing soy products, you should give preference to those organic products that are labeled as additive-free, and try to eat less soy products that have been deeply processed.
In addition, you can eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and supplement enough vitamins and minerals to help the liver work better.
Through the story of Uncle Chen, I hope that everyone can pay attention to the health of their diet in their daily life, especially the elderly, and choose food carefully to avoid affecting their health due to temporary negligence.
Keep in mind your doctor's advice and maintain good lifestyle habits to truly achieve a long and healthy life.
