"Everyone, please pay attention, one of the patients we mentioned in the previous lectures who died of pancreatic cancer is 68-year-old Aunt Zhao."
Dr. Wang, the lecture doctor, began today's health lecture in a relaxed tone, and the audience frowned on Li Xiumei, a 60-year-old retired factory worker.
She always felt that she was in good health, but the content of this lecture made her rethink her physical condition.
"Aunt Zhao, she usually gets enough sleep and loves sports, but she ignores some small issues that we don't think are important,"
Dr. Wang continued, "You know what? Aunt Zhao was actually persuaded by her daughter to check her body many times, but she always thought that she was healthy and unnecessary. ”
Li Xiumei rolled her eyes quietly, "Sleep well, love sports, and have cancer?" She muttered to herself, "Wouldn't I be in danger too?" ”
Dr. Wang seemed to see through her thoughts, "Don't think that you have exercised, everything will be fine when you sleep well." Health is multifaceted and needs to be considered holistically. ”
Dr. Wang's gaze swept over the audience and continued to explain: "First of all, Aunt Zhao has a dietary problem, she especially likes to eat high-sugar and high-fat foods.
Every time you feel like you've worked out a lot, you reward yourself with a dessert or fried food, and studies have shown that long-term intake of a high-sugar and high-fat diet increases the risk of pancreatic cancer. ”
Li Xiumei frowned, she also likes to eat sweets and fried foods, but she always thinks that it doesn't matter if she eats once in a while, Dr. Wang seems to hear her heart:
"Eating a diet high in sugar and fat on a regular basis not only leads to obesity, but also causes a burden on the pancreas.
Data shows that more than 30% of new pancreatic cancer patients in China each year have unhealthy eating habits. ”
"Secondly, although Aunt Zhao exercises, her exercise method is not scientific, she likes high-intensity exercise, but ignores the body's tolerance and often feels tired."
Dr Wong added, "Our body needs a moderate amount of exercise, not excessive exercise, and a moderate amount of aerobic exercise can improve blood circulation and improve immunity.
However, if you exercise too much, it will have a bad effect and cause damage to the body. This made Li Xiumei a little shaken, she always felt that the more exercise, the better, but she also felt tired sometimes, maybe she should really adjust her exercise method.
"Besides, Aunt Zhao ignored the importance of physical examination, and her daughter persuaded her to go for physical examination many times, but she always felt that she was not sick and was in good health."
Dr. Wang shook his head, "Actually, physical examination is an important means to prevent diseases, especially diseases like pancreatic cancer that have no obvious symptoms in the early stage.
Regular medical check-ups allow us to detect potential problems in a timely manner, detect them early and treat them early. ”
Li Xiumei suddenly remembered that her daughter also persuaded her to go for a comprehensive physical examination last month, but she shirked it because she was afraid of trouble. She secretly decided that next time she would listen to her daughter and go for a physical examination.
Dr. Wang went on to share a case, "We had a patient in his 50s named Uncle Liu before. He also usually likes to exercise, and his diet is quite healthy, but he just doesn't do a physical examination.
Later, by chance, I had a physical examination and found early pancreatic cancer, but fortunately, due to the early detection and surgical treatment, I have now recovered. ”
After listening to this story, Li Xiumei became more determined to go for a physical examination, she didn't want to miss the best time for treatment because she neglected her health and was like Aunt Zhao.
"Finally, there is another very important issue, which is mentality." Dr. Wang smiled, "Aunt Zhao is usually short-tempered and has big mood swings.
Modern medical research has shown that frequent negative emotions can affect our immune system and increase the risk of disease, so maintaining an optimistic attitude and learning to reduce stress is also an important part of maintaining health. ”
Li Xiumei nodded, she sometimes worries about some trivial matters, it seems that it is really important to maintain a good mood.
After the lecture, Li Xiumei walked out of the venue, thinking about adjusting her diet, exercising scientifically, having regular physical examinations, and maintaining a good mood, she decided to follow professional advice and take her health seriously from today.
Hope it helps, thank you!
