Li Hua, an ordinary accountant, went to the hospital to visit a hospitalized friend during New Year's Day, and unexpectedly found that he also had some symptoms of physical discomfort. She felt lightheaded, her mouth was dry, and she even had frequent urination. Li Hua was a little puzzled, so he hurriedly went to the doctor Dr. Chen for consultation.
Dr. Chen looked at Li Hua's physical examination report, and then asked about his symptoms seriously. Finally, he gently told Li Hua: "Miss Li, your symptoms are not serious, but they need to be paid enough attention.
Your symptoms such as frequent urination and dry mouth may be related to your eating Xi habits. Did you eat a lot of potatoes or other starchy foods for dinner?"
Li Hua was stunned for a moment, she recalled it, and found that she did often eat potatoes for dinner, because she liked potatoes in various cooking methods, especially French fries and mashed potatoes.
She was a little puzzled and asked, "Doctor, potatoes are vegetables, why do they cause these problems?"
Dr. Chan smiled and explained, "Miss Li, although potatoes are vegetables, they contain a lot of starch.
Starch is a carbohydrate that, when digested, is quickly converted to glucose, resulting in an increase in blood sugar levels.
If you consume a lot of starch at night, especially high-starch foods such as potatoes, it may cause blood sugar fluctuations, cause symptoms such as dry mouth, frequent urination, and even affect sleep quality. ”
After hearing this, Li Hua suddenly realized that she didn't expect her diet Xi habits to cause these problems. Dr Tan continued, "In addition, the older people are, the more important it is to pay attention to what they eat, especially when they pair their dinners.
In addition to potatoes, there are other foods that should also be consumed in moderation, such as chili, ginger, and foods with high caffeine content, which can cause discomfort such as dry mouth. ”
Li Hua learned the lesson of Dr. Chan deeply and was determined to adjust his dinner Xi and reduce the intake of starchy and spicy foods to maintain his health.
Through a simple medical knowledge, he told Li Hua and other members of the public that in daily life, there is a close relationship between our diet and Xi habits and physical health.
Although potatoes are a common vegetable, they can trigger uncomfortable symptoms if consumed in excess.
This story teaches us that to stay healthy, we need to pay attention not only to the type of food, but also to the intake and pairing of food, especially at dinner.
Now, let's think about the question: Are there similar dietary Xi habits in your daily life that may have an impact on your physical health, but you don't realize it?
Or, do you have some unique food pairing experience that you can share with others to help them stay better healthy?
Perhaps, sharing health knowledge and experience can make our lives better.
