On an ordinary weekend, Li Qiang squatted down to tidy up his garden when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his knee.
"How's that okay?"
He muttered to himself, but he didn't take the little issue to heart.
It wasn't until one day, when the pain became frequent and unbearable, that he decided to go to the Chinese medicine hall for help.
The techniques of TCM are simple and magical, and after a few acupuncture and massages, he feels a lot less pain.
This experience made Li Qiang realize the importance of health preservation, and he began to be enthusiastic about learning all kinds of health knowledge.
Li Qiang is an ordinary postman, and his daily job is to shuttle through the streets and alleys of the city, sending warmth and hope to people.
A single father was diagnosed with lung cancer
He has a son who is less than 5 years old, Xiaoqiang, who is all he has in life.
One day, he felt shortness of breath at work, and the discomfort for several days on a row forced him to go to the hospital for a check-up.
The results of the examination were unexpected - advanced lung cancer.
The doctor's words were like a bolt from the blue, and he burst into tears, because what he feared most was that his son was still so young that he could not leave him.
During this difficult journey, Li Qiang met an experienced doctor, Dr. Zhang.
Dr. Teo not only provided professional treatment advice, but also introduced him to some lesser-known knowledge that is beneficial to his health.
This knowledge may seem unrelated to lung cancer, but in fact it has a non-negligible effect on improving the quality of life and prolonging life.
Dr. Zhang shared the idea that "the impact of indoor air quality on health is much greater than people think".
He explained that outdoor air pollution is often thought to be a health risk, but in reality, indoor air pollution is just as serious or worse.
This is because modern people spend most of their time indoors, especially children and the elderly.
Long-term exposure to harmful substances in indoor air, such as formaldehyde, benzene and bacteria, can seriously damage lung health and increase the risk of lung disease.
To support this view, Dr. Zhang also mentioned several specific cases.
For example, a housewife who has been living in a renovated new house for a long time was diagnosed with lung problems.
After in-depth investigation, it was found that the cause was long-term inhalation of indoor air containing high amounts of formaldehyde.
Another case was an elderly man who regularly used air fresheners and his lung function decreased significantly due to the damage caused to his lungs by the chemicals in the air fresheners.
Li Qiang was deeply touched by these stories, and he realized the importance of protecting himself and his family from indoor air pollution.
As a result, he began to take steps to improve the air quality in his home, such as ventilating regularly, using air purifiers, and choosing non-toxic furniture and decoration materials.
3 mistakes that shouldn't be there
Neglecting health protection measures in daily life.
Insufficient awareness of indoor air quality.
Ignore the importance of starting small and actively improving the living environment.
At the end, ask a question that seems unrelated to the topic:
"Why do some people get sick even in an environment with good air quality?"
This question leads to an in-depth analysis that while environmental factors are important, an individual's immune system status, genetics, and lifestyle habits also have a significant impact on health.
Therefore, in addition to improving the living environment, it is also indispensable to raise personal health awareness and take comprehensive health protection measures.
