In a small city, there was a man named Li Guang, who was 68 years old, but died of alarmingly high blood pressure.
Li Guang was an ordinary accountant before his death, working on the books and numbers day after day, his life was unremarkable, but also full of small fortunes. But it was such a profession that seemed to have nothing to do with health, which made him embark on the road of no return for high blood pressure.
Before that, Li Guang's life was full of all kinds of "food temptations". He is particularly fond of braised pork and pickled foods, which have become an indispensable part of almost every meal.
However, it was this seemingly innocuous eating habit that gradually damaged his health. You must know that although braised pork is good, the fat content is frighteningly high, and long-term consumption will inevitably lead to an increase in blood lipids, which lays a hidden danger for high blood pressure.
As for pickled foods, the presence of high salt is the "helper" of high blood pressure. But the problem is that despite the doctor's repeated emphasis on the dangers of these two foods, Li Guang always listens to them.
Whenever the doctor reminded him, he always smiled and said, "If you eat so lightly all day long, is that still life?" This kind of nonsensical excuse makes the doctor cry and laugh.
Having said that, here's a unique point of view, that is, the pressure of ordinary occupations is not as easy as that of high-intensity work, especially in a profession like accounting, which requires both precise calculations and a huge workload, is actually the "hardest hit area" of high blood pressure.
Everyone may think that the white-collar life in the office is easy and comfortable, but in fact, long-term sedentary, high-intensity mental stress, and irregular daily life and rest are all invisible killers that cause blood pressure to rise.
Accountants, in particular, often need to maintain a high level of concentration for long periods of time when dealing with complex accounts, which undoubtedly puts an additional burden on the heart and blood vessels. And in the long term, even without bad eating habits, it is enough to quietly raise blood pressure.
Li Guang's story also implies an important health knowledge: high blood pressure is not formed instantaneously, but gradually develops through the accumulation of bad habits.
Many people may not realize that high blood pressure is like a ticking time bomb that can have unpredictable consequences when it erupts.
When discussing specific medical knowledge, we must know that the formation of hypertension is related to a variety of factors, including genetics, environment, lifestyle, etc. And in the lifestyle, eating habits undoubtedly occupy an important place.
The high fat in braised pork and the high salt in pickled foods are all direct factors that cause blood pressure to rise. In addition to diet, lack of exercise, long-term mental stress, and alcohol abuse are also triggers for high blood pressure.
Returning to Li Guang's case, his death has attracted widespread attention from those around him. People are beginning to realize that behind the ordinary life, there may also be a hidden health crisis.
Li Guang's doctor, when dealing with his medical records, found that Li Guang's long-term high blood pressure record was almost the epitome of an unhealthy lifestyle.
Doctors have repeatedly reminded Li Guang to change his lifestyle and reduce his intake of braised pork and pickled foods, but unfortunately these advice were not adopted.
At the end, a patient asked the doctor a question: "Doctor, I heard that high blood pressure can be controlled by changing dietary habits, is that true?"
The doctor replied, "Yes, high blood pressure can be effectively controlled by reducing the intake of high-fat, high-salt foods, increasing the proportion of vegetables and fruits, and exercising moderately." Take Li Guang's case as an example, if he had realized this earlier, maybe the outcome would have been completely different. ”
Through this answer, the doctor not only emphasized the importance of a healthy diet with the example of Li Guang, but also reminded everyone that although high blood pressure is terrible, it is entirely possible to avoid its serious consequences through active lifestyle adjustments.
Although this story is fictional, the health knowledge and life philosophy in it can really be taken as a warning.
