On an ordinary morning, Aunt Wang's knees began to complain again: "Alas, this is not easy, and it hurts when you are not careful." ”

This is not only Aunt Wang's self-talk early in the morning, but also the opening sentence of this story.

Aunt Wang, an ordinary retired teacher, has simple and simple expectations for life: health and safety.

All along, Aunt Wang's sore knees have been intermittently affecting her daily life like an uninvited visitor.

Despite this, she is skeptical of modern medicine and prefers traditional methods of treatment.

This time, she chose the cupping and massage in the Chinese medicine hall, but she didn't expect the effect to be surprisingly good.

This experience made Aunt Wang re-examine her understanding of health, and she began to browse through various health knowledge with great interest, hoping to find the secret to maintaining good health.

During her exploration, Aunt Wang met an experienced doctor, Dr. Li.

Dr. Lee is not only highly skilled in medicine, but also willing to share his unique insights on health.

In a casual conversation, Dr. Lee brought up a topic that seems to have nothing to do with health: "Did you know that many people think that drinking water in the morning and looking far away are ways to maintain their health, but in fact, these two things can be detrimental to their health in some cases. ”

Aunt Wang was stunned, this was different from all the health advice she had heard before.

Desperate to find out more, Dr. Lee began to explain in detail.

Wake up in the morning 2 things or accomplices

"First of all, drinking water first thing in the morning, although it can boost metabolism and help clear the intestines, for some people with heart and kidney disease, drinking too much water may increase the burden on the heart and kidneys.

Drinking a large amount of water, especially in the morning when blood pressure is high, can trigger cardiovascular events. ”

Aunt Wang was taken aback when she heard this, which completely subverted her understanding.

"Secondly, although it helps to relax the mind and relieve eye fatigue when it is done in the morning with poor air quality, it will not only fail to achieve the expected health effect, but may inhale more harmful substances and increase the burden on the heart, especially for patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which is undoubtedly worse. ”

Dr. Lee's words made Aunt Wang ponder, and she began to realize that health knowledge is not static, but needs to be flexible according to the specific situation of the individual.

Dr. Lee also shared some specific case stories

For example, a 68-year-old lady, although she usually likes to walk and has no history of heart disease, unfortunately died of a cerebral hemorrhage because she ignored the impact of drinking water and air quality on her health in the morning.

This story is a wake-up call for Aunt Wang, and she deeply realizes that health is not just about simple exercise and diet, but also about every detail of life.

Over time, Aunt Wang has incorporated this new knowledge into her own life and has become more focused on quality of life and physical health.

Her communication with Dr. Li has gradually developed into a deep friendship from the initial health consultation.

At this point, you may be curious:

Why does air quality have such a big impact on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases?

This question may seem unrelated to the topic of the article, but in fact, tiny particles in the air can enter the human body through the respiratory tract, which can not only cause respiratory diseases, but also affect the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems through blood circulation, aggravate the original disease conditions, and thus increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events.

Therefore, paying attention to air quality, especially for patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, is a vital health protection measure.
