In
life, some health pseudo-knowledge has become a superstitious “health motto” for many people under oral transmission. Today, experts from various disciplines in Beijing Ditan Hospital are popularizing some common health knowledge misunderstandings in life. Come and see if you have been “routine”! Can
eating raw fish gall bladder cure diseases?
Liver disease department has treated cases of liver and kidney damage caused by eating raw fish bile poisoning, these patients are because of listening to the folk prescription that “eating raw fish bile can clear heat and detoxify, clear liver and improve eyesight”. In fact, sodium cyprinol sulfate, histamine, hydrocyanic acid and cholic acid in fish bile can cause damage to human tissues. Therefore, eating raw fish bile can not only cure diseases, but also cause poisoning, leading to multiple organ function damage and even death.
Gallstone patients need to be vegetarian? Eating
a lot of high-fat and high-cholesterol foods can easily induce gallstones and cholecystitis, so some gallstone patients think that they should be vegetarian for a long time, which is a wrong idea.
If you are a vegetarian for a long time, you will lack fat-soluble vitamins. It can also cause insufficient intake of animal protein and trace elements, which can lead to hypoproteinemia, bleeding and edema of lower limbs, even palpitation, fatigue, emaciation, anemia and so on. In addition, fat can promote the secretion of bile, but if you are a vegetarian for a long time, it is easy to reduce the secretion and excretion of bile, resulting in the retention, concentration and siltation of bile in the gallbladder, and the concentrated bile repeatedly stimulates the gallbladder wall, which may lead to the formation of gallstones or aggravate the progress of gallstones.
Therefore, the most important thing is to have a balanced diet, and the diet of patients with gallstones should be based on low-fat and low-cholesterol foods. Can
holding your breath for 30 seconds test your lung health?
Being able to hold your breath for 30 seconds is not necessarily related to lung health. Lung health depends on many factors, and few doctors judge a person’s lung health by holding his breath or climbing stairs. The lung is composed of many alveoli, and its examination mainly includes the shape of the lung and chest, lung function and pulmonary blood vessels. The degree of lung health generally requires lung function examination.
When there are respiratory symptoms or other discomfort, the corresponding examination should be carried out according to the situation, and the rumor that lung disease can be checked by holding breath for 30 seconds should not be believed.
Is vegetarianism more conducive to controlling blood lipids?
Simple vegetarianism may lead to inadequate intake of some B vitamins, which are closely related to the metabolism of fat, carbohydrate and protein. B vitamins are mainly found in milk, eggs, animal liver and fish. Therefore, only vegetarian diet may lead to B vitamin deficiency, resulting in fat metabolism disorders, which may also be one of the factors of dyslipidemia.
Therefore, if you suffer from hyperlipidemia, take “less meat and more vegetables” as the principle, rather than a complete vegetarian diet, so as to achieve the goal of reducing blood lipids and balanced diet scientifically. Ten
white hairs grow out of one? There is no scientific basis for the statement that
“more and more white hair is pulled out”. The number of hair follicles in a person is determined at birth, and pulling hair will not increase the number of hair follicles and hair volume, nor will it increase the number of white hair. In that case, can you rest assured to pull out the white hair? Of course not.
Doctors do not advocate frequent pulling of white hair, especially in the case of more white hair, because this can not reduce the appearance of white hair, but also destroy hair follicles, and even cause folliculitis. Recurrent folliculitis may cause hair follicles to be unable to grow new hair, resulting in “baldness”.
Is prostatitis a disease of old age?
This is a false statement. Prostatitis is a common disease in urinary system, especially in men under 50 years old. The prime of life is a period of vigorous male sexual function, frequent sexual activity, repeated stimulation of sexual excitement can easily lead to repeated congestion of the prostate and induce inflammation.
In addition, the young and middle-aged period is the most vigorous period of prostate secretion, which provides good conditions for the growth and reproduction of bacteria. Pathogens can enter the prostate and cause acute and chronic inflammation if they do not pay attention to personal hygiene, low body resistance or infection in other adjacent parts.
Lung nodules must become lung cancer?
In fact, the vast majority of pulmonary nodules, especially small nodules and micro-nodules, are benign and will not develop into lung cancer. Most patients with pulmonary nodules have no symptoms and are found incidentally during physical examination. A foreign study on lung cancer screening showed that only 144 of 12029 patients with pulmonary nodules found by physical examination were malignant, accounting for about 1.2%. From the domestic outpatient situation, most patients with pulmonary nodules are also diagnosed as benign.
Therefore, we find that pulmonary nodules need not be too anxious, and the most effective and appropriate way to deal with them is to ask professional thoracic surgeons to evaluate and diagnose them. Can
autumn and winter infusion prevent cerebrovascular disease?
Some elderly people are accustomed to transfuse drugs for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis in autumn and winter to prevent cerebrovascular diseases, which are actually misunderstandings. Infusion not only has no effect on the prevention of cerebrovascular disease, but also has potential infusion reaction because of the direct effect in the blood through intravascular administration. The
correct prevention of cerebrovascular disease is to develop good living habits, including regular monitoring of blood pressure, blood lipids, blood sugar changes, attention to warmth, reasonable diet, smoking cessation and alcohol restriction, drinking more water, ensuring fluid balance and so on to reduce the occurrence of cerebrovascular disease. Drink big bone soup to help restore more after
fracture?
Can drinking big bone soup be good for recovery, osteoporosis or fracture? This view is actually a misunderstanding in life. The main content of big bone soup is fat, which can not directly help us treat osteoporosis and fracture, and has less positive effect on recovery and treatment of osteoporosis or fracture. In terms of nutrition, for the elderly and other people with weak physique, we can help to improve the calcium content in the body and promote the health of the body by drinking more milk, taking vitamin D and calcium tablets regularly.
Washing is healthier? I believe you will often hear
this saying. Some people think that washing the vagina every day can be cleaner and prevent vaginitis. In fact, the normal pH value of the vagina is between 3.8 and 4.4. The vagina of healthy women, like the mouth, usually has dozens of bacteria breeding, just because of the existence of the “guard” of the vagina. The most important “little guard” of the
vagina is Lactobacillus, which can decompose glycogen in vaginal cells into lactic acid, so that the vagina maintains a certain acidity, thus limiting the reproduction of pathogenic bacteria. In fact, it is good to wash the vulva with clean water at ordinary times, but too much washing will destroy the micro-ecology of the vagina, destroy the acidic environment, and make it easier to get vaginitis. Should patients with
nephropathy eat low sodium salt?
Patients should reduce their sodium intake, so it’s better to eat low-sodium salt, which sounds right, but it’s actually wrong! The reason why “low sodium salt” is low in sodium is that it is mixed with 30% potassium. Although the intake of sodium is low, the potassium content is high, which can easily lead to hyperkalemia. Therefore, although patients with kidney disease should eat less sodium, it is better to reduce salt intake from the diet.
Does General Anesthesia Affect Intelligence?
“General anesthesia can affect intelligence!” This is a traditional and classic misunderstanding, and it is also a question often asked by anesthesiologists. In fact, there is no scientific evidence to prove that general anesthesia has an impact on intelligence. Anesthetic drugs, like other drugs, have a metabolic process. With the passage of time, general anesthesia drugs will be completely excreted from the body through various ways, and will not cause residues in the body.
With the development of medicine, general anesthesia gradually tends to use narcotic drugs with short effect, reliable effect and mild adverse reactions, which will be quickly removed by the body after operation.
