'Health Preservation Master' Lin Haifeng passed away at the age of 51. Reflection: 4 kinds of health preservation methods are not worth mentioning
Ms. Li (pseudonym) loves health preservation very much. She watched some courses on the Internet earlier, and then began to learn the health preservation methods recommended by so-called experts. Stay at home every day without going to work or eating.
She juiced all the vegetables and fruits she bought, three meals a day. After this continued for a period of time, Ms. Li suffered from insomnia all day long, said that there were ghosts around her, her hair fell out in handfuls, and she became very distracted.
The reason for this situation is that I listened to the health regimen of the health master Lin Haifeng - fasting and detoxification.
But ironically, master Lin Haifeng died unexpectedly in Lijiang, Yunnan on November 11, 2019, at the age of 51. According to relevant sources, Lin Haifeng suffered from "stiffness all over his body" because he ate a pack of expired red dates, but he was unwilling to go to the hospital for treatment, but spit out the food by vomiting .
Later, after dinner one day, he suddenly fell to the ground in an accident, and then he was sent to the hospital and died. According to professional speculation, Lin Haifeng's death is likely to be a tragedy caused by food poisoning, but he did not seek medical treatment in time.
1. Can "fasting and detoxification" preserve health? don't be fooled anymore
There are countless "famous quotes" by Lin Haifeng, including:
" Rice and white noodles are the key to inducing diseases. There is only sugar in rice. Eating two bowls of rice is equivalent to eating two bowls of sugar ."
"The best foods should be vegetables and fruits, and they should be eaten as juices. You can't eat solid foods . You can't eat any other food except vegetable juices "
" The place where the human body has pores can detoxify. No matter what kind of disease you suffer from, you don't need to go to the hospital. You just need to drink vegetable juice to expel toxins ."
“……”
However, is this the case? it's not true.
In fact, the carbohydrates contained in rice are indeed sugars, but they are an important part of human tissues, can participate in cell composition and various functional activities, and are the main source of maintaining blood sugar .
When the body lacks carbohydrates, it will lead to physiological dysfunction, and then induce dizziness, cold sweats, fatigue and other symptoms, and even induce irreversible brain damage.
And the so-called not eating solid food is completely pseudoscience!
Dietary fiber contained in solid food is polysaccharide and oligosaccharide that promote gastrointestinal peristalsis. Long-term lack of dietary fiber intake will lead to imbalance of intestinal flora , damage digestive function, and then endanger the health of the whole body.
As for the saying of "fasting and detoxification", in fact, the human body does not need detoxification at all.
The so-called "poison" is actually all kinds of waste produced by the body's metabolism. These substances will be excreted from the body through defecation, urination, and sweating . The body itself has a strong ability to detoxify. In most cases, it only needs the body to function normally, and no external force is needed to help detoxify.
If you detoxify blindly through the method of "fasting", you may face a series of problems such as gastrointestinal function damage, constipation, blood sugar impact, endocrine disorders , and organ atrophy.
2. The 4 methods seem to be "health preservation", but they are actually very harmful to the body
In addition to fasting and health preservation, there are some highly respected health preservation methods, which are actually unreliable. Come and see if you step on the thunder.
1. Take supplements to keep healthy
At this stage, people generally pay more attention to health preservation. Many people buy various tonics for health preservation, thinking that taking tonics will make everything go well.
In fact, under the premise of good health, there is no need to take additional supplements. Blindly taking supplements will easily lead to excess nutrition and bring unnecessary burdens to health.
2. Vegetarian diet lowers the three highs
Some elderly people have problems with high blood sugar, high blood fat, and high blood pressure. They refuse all meat and eat only vegetarian food on a daily basis. Doing so can easily lead to uneven nutritional intake of the body, which in turn induces problems such as malnutrition. If the three highs are not lowered, new problems will appear instead.
3. Infusion through blood vessels
Many elderly people will go to the hospital for infusion as soon as the season changes, which is said to unblock blood vessels. But there is no scientific basis for this statement. Those so-called traditional Chinese medicine injections for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis cannot dredge blood vessels, but may induce heart failure and drug allergies.
4. Massage lymphatic drainage
Lymphatic drainage itself is a false concept. In a healthy state, the lymph nodes will not be blocked, and they will circulate and detoxify 24 hours a day. If the lymph is blocked, it means that there is a disease in the body. If you massage and knead blindly at this time, it will easily lead to the spread of the disease.
3. Do the elderly only rely on health care products? These 2 things are more important
Older people will pay more attention to health preservation, especially when they have major or minor diseases, they will start to rely on various health care products, but this approach is not recommended.
Health care products are actually a kind of food, they cannot replace medicines, and they cannot be abused without authorization . When there is a problem with the body, it is necessary to seek medical treatment in time, instead of being superstitious about health care products.
If the elderly are pursuing health preservation, they may wish to focus on the following two things:
1. Eat a healthy diet
For the elderly, in the case of gradual degeneration of various physiological functions, nutritional balance is particularly important. It is recommended to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, beans, and fish every day .
2. Persist in physical exercise
Regular exercise can speed up your metabolism, which has great health benefits.
But for the elderly who themselves suffer from chronic diseases, they should pay attention to choosing the right time for exercise, preferably 4 to 6 in the afternoon. Choose a more soothing exercise intensity, such as slow walking, walking, and Tai Chi are good choices, and you can keep sweating a little every time you exercise.
Health preservation is a profound knowledge, and many people tend to fall into misunderstandings in their daily life, so they need to learn more about this to avoid "stepping on thunder".
