Why is it that what is considered healthy food on a daily basis may become a hidden danger for some people?

This begs the question of how much of a health impact your dietary choices have.

Uncle Xu, a 64-year-old retired worker, in the early hours of the morning, Uncle Xu suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, followed by a burst of intense nausea and vomiting, and he realized that the situation was not good.

Fortunately, his son Xiao Xu was in the next room, and immediately rushed in after hearing the movement.

Seeing his father's painful appearance, Xiao Xu did not hesitate to call the emergency number, and the ambulance arrived quickly and rushed Uncle Xu to the nearest hospital.

In the hospital, after a preliminary examination, the doctor quickly carried out a series of emergency treatments on Uncle Xu and was diagnosed with cerebral hemorrhage.

This news was like a bombshell, which blew up Xiao Xu and his mother on the spot, but the doctor looked calm, obviously not surprised by this kind of situation.

After confirming that Uncle Xu's condition was temporarily stable, the doctor turned to Xiao Xu and his mother and explained that Uncle Xu's cerebral hemorrhage may be related to his long-term use of antihypertensive drugs.

While these drugs are effective in controlling blood pressure, they may also lead to increased fragility of blood vessel walls.

What's more, the doctor mentions that some daily eating habits also need to be paid attention to.

When Uncle Xu's family heard this, they became even more anxious, and Xiao Xu hurriedly asked, "Then what foods should we avoid?" ”

The doctor pulled out a piece of paper detailing several foods that may be healthy choices for most people but can pose risks for people like Uncle Xu who have been taking blood pressure medication for a long time.

"For example, high-sodium foods, which can cause a sudden increase in blood pressure, can increase the burden on the heart and the pressure on the blood vessels for people who are taking blood pressure medications," he explained, pointing to the list on the paper. ”

"Also, what many people don't know is that foods high in vitamin K, such as spinach, kale and other green leafy vegetables, although beneficial to the general population, may lead to a weakening of the drug's effect and increase the risk of bleeding for people with high blood pressure who take certain anticoagulant drugs."

The doctor's words were full of seriousness and care, and every sentence reminded Uncle Xu's family that the choice of daily diet requires more scientific consideration.

In addition, doctors specifically mention some seemingly harmless fruits, such as grapefruit.

It shows that taking grapefruit with some blood pressure lowering drugs may make the amount of medicine in the blood abnormally high, which is a hidden risk for the heart.

This is often overlooked by many patients, because who would have thought that ordinary fruits would have such side effects?

Seeing their sad faces, the doctor decided to elaborate on some little-known but extremely important things.

"What you may not realize is that the temperature in our diet is also a health factor that we often overlook."

The doctor adjusted his glasses as he spoke, looked at Uncle Xu's family and continued to explain, "For example, the hot tea or hot soup we like to drink, although it warms people's hearts, but the overheated diet actually has a certain damaging effect on our esophagus and gastric mucosa. ”

"Over time, this can increase the risk of digestive disorders."

Xiao Xu frowned, as if it was the first time he had heard such an opinion. He asked curiously, "Then how do we usually adjust?" ”

The doctor smiled and replied, "A simple adjustment is to try to avoid eating too hot food and drinks for a long time. ”

"Allowing food or drink to cool a little below the mouth temperature before eating it will protect the health of the digestive tract without affecting the taste and nutrition of the food."

In addition, the doctor makes a little-known but very interesting point: "We often say, 'You are what you eat,' but in fact, 'You are how you eat your food' is just as important." ”

"The way of gobbling up not only puts a lot of pressure on the stomach and intestines, but also may affect the digestion and absorption of food because it is not chewed."

"Especially for people with high blood pressure like Uncle Xu, eating slowly and chewing slowly can not only help them better control their food intake, but also help lower their blood pressure by eating at a reduced rate."

These words made Xiao Xu and his mother both show thoughtful expressions.

Seeing this, the doctor added another piece of advice: "Also, try to avoid distractions during meals, such as watching TV or playing on your mobile phone while eating." ”

"Not only does this allow you to feel the process of eating more attentively, savoring the taste and pleasure of food, but it also helps you master the speed and amount of food, which is especially beneficial for maintaining healthy lifestyle habits."

Through this experience, Uncle Xu and his family not only learned how to manage their health through diet, but more importantly, they learned how to face and overcome health challenges together through lifestyle changes.
