Entering ChinaIn today’s fast-paced life, people often try a variety of health regimens in order to pursue health. However, some approaches may seem reasonable, but they may have hidden pitfalls. Today, we are going to tell a story about “not eating at noon”.
First, the persistent road of health preservation
On a busy corner of the city, there is an office worker named Cuong. His daily work pressure is huge, but he firmly believes that as long as he adheres to a special health regimen – “skipping lunch and eating”, he can stay healthy in the midst of busyness. Cuong’s idea stemmed from an ancient practice he had heard would not only help him lose weight, detoxify his body, but also prolong his life.
So, Cuong began his “wellness journey”. Every day after noon, he stopped eating anything. Friends often invited him to dinner together, but he always firmly refused: “I don’t eat dinner, this is my health secret!” In his opinion, eating one less meal will allow the stomach to be fully rested and the body to repair itself better.
2. The “protest” of the body
However, as time passed, Cuong’s body began to show some subtle changes. At first, he only occasionally felt an upset stomach, like a puff of sour water churning in his stomach. He thought it was only temporary, after all, his body was adapting to this new way of life. But as time goes on, this discomfort becomes more and more frequent.
Once, when Cuong was working late into the night, he suddenly felt a sharp stomach pain. He curled up at his desk, cold sweat streaming down. At that moment, he realized that his stomach might have been “protesting” for a long time.
3. Warnings for physical examinations
Five years later, Cuong decided to go for a comprehensive check-up. When he got the gastroscopy report, the doctor’s expression made his heart sink. The doctor pointed to the report: “Your gastric mucosa has atrophied and thinned, showing signs of chronic gastritis. Only then did Cuong realize that his “health secret” did not bring health, but caused serious damage to his stomach.
4. The “confession” of the stomach
Actually, the stomach is not an organ that likes to “work overtime”. It has its own “work schedule”, and when we eat, the stomach secretes stomach acid and digestive enzymes to break down the food. But if you don’t eat for a long time, stomach acid will still be secreted, but you can’t find food to neutralize it, so it will start to “erod” the gastric mucosa. Ah Qiang’s stomach, under such “torture”, gradually became fragile.
5. Re-examine the way of health preservation
Faced with such a result, Cuong fell into deep reflection. He began to re-examine his regimen. He realized that true health is not achieved by extreme means, but requires a scientific and rational lifestyle.
So, Cuong decided to adjust his eating habits. He began to eat small dinners, choosing light, easy-to-digest foods such as porridge, vegetables, and fish. At the same time, he also pays more attention to nutritional balance and no longer blindly pursues “eating less”.
A few months later, Keung had another medical check-up, and the gastroscopy report showed that his gastric mucosa had recovered and his stomach discomfort had gradually disappeared. He said with emotion: “It turns out that health preservation cannot go to extremes, and science is the real king.” ”
6. A healthy life is the real “health preservation”
Cuong’s story tells us that a healthy body needs scientific care. A regular diet, moderate exercise and good lifestyle habits are the true way to health. We cannot blindly pursue the so-called “magic method” and ignore the real needs of the body.
Friends, if you’re trying a similar regimen, stop and rethink. A healthy body is not obtained by “cultivating immortals”, but by maintaining a scientific lifestyle.
