Uncle Li has been feeling weak and in good spirits lately. He originally thought it was because of his age, but when he found that his blood sugar was high and his liver function indicators were abnormal during a routine physical examination, he couldn't help but panic.
The doctor told him to adjust his diet and eat more foods that lower blood sugar. Uncle Li came home and rummaged through the cabinets to find the health care products that his son gave him a few years ago, thinking that they might come in handy.
But when he was about to take it, he suddenly remembered that his neighbor, Aunt Zhang, had said that some foods have better effects than health products. Is it true or false? Uncle Li fell into deep confusion.
With this doubt, Uncle Li decided to visit his old friend Dr. Wang. Dr. Wong is an experienced TCM practitioner who has worked in community clinics for many years and is trusted by the residents.
When Uncle Li told Dr. Wang about his troubles, Dr. Wang smiled and said, "Old Li, you are right, there are indeed some natural foods that are no less effective than health products.
I recommend a few to you, which can not only help you lower blood sugar, but also protect the liver, and even have the effect of preventing cancer. "
Dr. Wang first mentioned garlic. "Garlic is rich in selenium, which is 15 times higher than corn! Not only does it help lower blood sugar, but it also boosts immunity, which is a great help in cancer prevention. "
Uncle Li was surprised when he heard this, he usually eats garlic, but he didn't know that it had so many benefits.
Next, Dr. Wang mentioned broccoli. "Broccoli is rich in vitamin C and glucosinolated glucosinolates, which can help detoxify the liver while lowering blood sugar."
Uncle Li remembered that there were still some broccoli in the refrigerator at home, and he was secretly happy.
Finally, Dr. Wang recommended green tea. "The catechins in green tea can not only help lower blood sugar, but also protect the liver and prevent fatty liver.
Moreover, the polyphenols in green tea also play a role in cancer prevention. Uncle Li is a tea lover, and he was even more overjoyed when he heard the news.
Dr. Wang went on to explain, "The main reason why these foods have so many benefits is because they are rich in antioxidants and various vitamins and minerals.
For example, selenium, which is an important antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative damage, thereby reducing the risk of cancer. Selenium also helps insulin work better and helps control blood sugar. "
Uncle Li nodded again and again, but he still had a question: "Doctor Wang, should I just eat more of these foods?"
Doctor Wang smiled and shook his head: "Lao Li, although these foods do have many benefits, they must be done in moderation. For example, garlic, although high in selenium, may cause stomach upset when consumed in excess.
Broccoli is good, but eating too much at once may cause flatulence. While green tea is beneficial, drinking it on an empty stomach or drinking too much at night may affect sleep and digestion. So, the key is to eat a balanced diet and eat it in moderation. "
After listening to Dr. Wang's explanation, Uncle Li suddenly realized. He understood that the secret of health lies not in a certain miracle food, but in a reasonable diet and a healthy lifestyle.
He decided to slowly adjust his eating habits from today, eat more beneficial foods, and maintain moderate exercise, believing that through these efforts, he will definitely be able to improve his health.
When he left the clinic, Uncle Li's mood was much lighter. He is grateful to Dr. Wong for his patient answers and is glad that he has mastered this useful health knowledge.
He decided to share this knowledge with his family and friends when he returned home, so that more people could benefit. After all, health is everyone's most valuable asset, and knowledge is the key to health.
