As a 63-year-old retiree, Aunt Zhou has always paid great attention to health, with a regular life and rest, and a very particular diet.
But recently, she always feels that her body is not feeling well, and her mental state has been very poor. Is it really that "age"?
Just when Aunt Zhou was puzzled, her son, Engineer Zhang, came back from work at the unit where he worked. Seeing that his mother's face was not very good, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern, "Mom, have you not been feeling well lately?" Should I go to the hospital for a check-up?"
Aunt Zhou waved her hand at her son and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that I feel a little more tired than usual." But I'm quite concerned, when my daughter comes back, let's go to the doctor together. "
Fortunately, at this time, Aunt Zhou's daughter, Miss Wang, had just returned home from work. The family discussed and decided to go to a nearby community hospital the next morning to let the doctor check Aunt Zhou's pulse.
At 9 a.m. the next day, a family of three came to the internal medicine clinic of the community hospital. The person on duty was a Dr. Xu, who was not very old, but gave people a sense of affinity and reasonableness. After asking Aunt Zhou in detail about some basic conditions and descriptions of her symptoms, Dr. Xu began to examine her body.
The examination process was normal, and Aunt Zhou was fine except for some sub-health manifestations. Dr. Xu sat her down and patiently explained to her, "Aunt Zhou, your symptoms may be related to your age. You're 63 years old, an age where you need to pay extra attention to what you eat. "
"For example, some hair products and fermented foods are better to eat less. Because they tend to cause gastrointestinal discomfort and indigestion. Greasy food, for example, is not good for your health.
I recommend that you try to eat as little of these three foods as possible in the future: sausages, mustard, and fritters. "
When Aunt Zhou heard this, she couldn't help frowning. She loves to eat pickled vegetables, and sausages are also one of her specialties. I didn't expect to quit these.
Seeing this, Dr. Xu continued, "Sausages often contain more nitrite as a preservative, which may damage body cells and pose a high potential risk if consumed for a long time.
Although mustard is also a pickled product, it has obvious irritation to the stomach and intestines due to the large amount of nitrite produced during the fermentation process. "
"As for fried dough sticks, they are purely high-calorie, high-fat foods, which are not conducive to maintaining body shape, and will also increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. These three foods should actually be in moderation, especially at Aunt Zhou's age. "
Engineer Zhang on the side was also quite touched after hearing this, after all, he is no longer young, and many things must be paid attention to. He agreed: "The doctor is right, Mom, your current physical condition really shouldn't eat these greasy hair products anymore." In the future, you can eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, and soy products, which are good for your body. "
Miss Wang also nodded again and again, saying that she would take care of the family's food for her mother so that she could eat healthier.
Dr. Xu advised, "Of course, it is also important to exercise moderately and maintain a good attitude. Aunt Zhou, you can take a walk every morning and evening and do soft exercises or something, so that your body will be much better. "
Aunt Zhou nodded again and again, indicating that she would definitely pay attention to it. Although it is a bit reluctant to give up a few of my favorite foods, it is clearly worth the price for the sake of your health.
In this way, Dr. Xu prescribed several Chinese patent medicines for Aunt Zhou's body conditioning and instructed her to have regular check-ups. The family left the office gratefully.
From this day on, the Zhou family's table was missing three kinds of food: sausages, mustard and fritters. Instead, fresh vegetables, low-fat fish and soy products are available.
Aunt Zhou ate with relish, and her mental state and physical functions gradually improved. It turns out that the effect of appropriate lifestyle changes is quite significant.
