Use its leaves to soak in water to drink, which can quench thirst and moisten throat.People with diabetes can insist on drinking it as tea every day. People without diabetes should not drink it, because persimmon leaves are cold and should not be drunk too much. (3) Unsweetened soy milk also has the effect of lowering blood sugar.Chinese medicine therapy Among the medicines, Ganluyin has the effect of lowering blood sugar; Shengmaiyin has the effect of quenching thirst;Of course, the specific usage of these drugs still needs to be prescribed by a doctor.When using the above methods to maintain health, don't forget the "five drivers" - education and psychotherapy, diet, exercise, drugs, and monitoring.Specifically, we can find the answers to the details of the "five chariots" from the books on diabetes in the market. The question is whether you have the confidence and perseverance to persevere. This is the key. ?Warm tips that will benefit you for a lifetime: The clinical diagnostic criteria for diabetes To diagnose diabetes, the blood sugar concentration detected by venous blood must be used as the standard.

From a clinical point of view, diabetes can be diagnosed if the elevated blood sugar reaches any one of the following two criteria: (1) Fasting blood sugar >7.0mmol/L. (2) Blood glucose >2mmol/L 11.1 hours after meal.Two hours after a meal here, two taels of steamed buns are often taken as the standard, because the amount of meal will also affect the level of blood sugar. 2. The terrible gout, prevention is better than cure. Men should not take alcoholism as a threat, and don't take eating large pieces of meat as fun.Once diagnosed with gout, alcohol, tea, coffee, meat, fish, and seafood are all on the food restriction list. The diet should be light, and spicy and irritating foods should not be eaten too much. All cold foods should be quit.What is gout?Someone once described it vividly: gout is a disease caused by "pain even when a slight wind blows" during an attack.Many famous generals and emperors in history have suffered from gout, such as Alexander the Great, Princess Anne of England, King Louis XIV of France, Kublai Khan and others have suffered from gout, so gout has "emperor's disease" ", and therefore gout is regarded as a disease of the rich that is closely related to wine and meat.

If you are a 30-year-old man who loves seafood and meat, and is obsessed with cold beer... There is no doubt that you are very likely to be a "high-risk element" for gout!Although gout is closely related to family inheritance to a certain extent, it can also come from the mouth!Excessive disorder in daily diet will drag you into a bad situation of joint pain and deformation, and in severe cases, it will also induce blood and kidney diseases.According to modern medicine, gout is a disease caused by excessive uric acid concentration in the blood.Excessive production of uric acid in the body or decreased excretion of uric acid by the kidneys will lead to elevated uric acid in the blood, resulting in hyperuricemia and recurrent gouty acute arthritis, tophi deposition, gouty chronic arthritis, and joint deformities.Traditional Chinese medicine believes that gout is caused by damp turbidity and stasis, retention of joint meridians, and poor blood flow.The most typical first symptom of gout is sudden joint pain in the big toe, which can also involve the arch of the foot, ankle, knee, wrist, elbow, etc.I would like to remind everyone that if gout occurs before the age of [-], it will generally tend to worsen, so you should be more cautious.Gout, like diabetes, is a lifelong disease, so prevention is better than cure.Usually eat more alkaline foods low in purines, such as fruits and vegetables, and eat less acidic foods such as meat and fish.Among vegetables, spinach can promote the decomposition and excretion of uric acid, you can eat more by blanching; celery can dissolve uric acid deposits accumulated in bones, blood vessels, and kidneys; quercetin in cucumber has a strong diuretic effect , contribute to the excretion of uric acid.

Also eat less food rich in purines and protein.According to statistics, the incidence rate of gout accounts for 30% for people who have constant banquets, and the incidence rate is higher for those who often eat hot pot.This is because the raw materials of hot pot are mainly animal offal, shrimp, shellfish, seafood and other foods rich in purine and protein.Drinking beer, especially cold beer, will naturally add fuel to the fire.A doctor said: "For gout patients, beer with ice is like the fuse on the dynamite bag or the trigger on the gun. Once the trigger is pulled, the gout will attack immediately." Eat meat for fun.Once diagnosed with gout, alcohol, tea, coffee, meat, fish, and seafood are all on the food restriction list. The diet should be light, and spicy and irritating foods should not be eaten too much. All cold foods should be quit.Only by eliminating excess uric acid in the body can you avoid gout.So, drink plenty of water on a regular basis.For people who have already suffered from gout, the daily drinking volume should be kept at about 3000 ml, and it is best to maintain a daily urine output of about 1500 ml.Frequent foot soaks or half baths can also increase urine output.When taking a bath, the lower body including the toes can be warmed; after the lower body is warmed, the blood flow of the kidneys located in the lower body can be improved, and the urination will also increase.To prevent gout, it is also important to maintain or achieve an ideal weight through exercise.For people who already suffer from gout, weight loss should be done gradually, otherwise it will easily lead to acute attack of ketosis or gout.

You can choose walking exercise to lose weight. The walking speed does not need to be too fast, just keep it at about 60 meters per minute. Walk for more than 30 minutes a day, at least 3 times a week.In addition, excessive mental stress can also induce gout.For men in their thirties, some of them are in the rising period of their careers, and some have to support their families, but in any case, their health is the most important thing.Because health is "1" and everything else is "0". 8. Hair thinning before reaching middle age—do everything possible to solve the "Mediterranean crisis" There are many reasons for hair loss. In addition to genetic factors, the hair loss caused by ourselves can be completely improved through our hands.Although hair loss is not a serious problem, wearing a "Mediterranean" hairstyle all day long will also damage your girlfriend's youthful image. People think your girlfriend is following you, a rich man!There are many reasons for hair loss. In addition to genetic factors, the hair loss caused by our own hands can be completely transformed through our hands.If we compare our hair to crops, fertile soil, sufficient water, sufficient air and sunlight are all prerequisites for crops to grow well.Therefore, to make our hair grow well, we must do some preliminary work.To nourish the kidney qi is to add fertilizer to the hair. The root cause of many gay men losing their hair at a young age is the deficiency of kidney qi.People with sufficient kidney qi have thick, tidy, clean and moist hair, because "the flower of the kidney is in the hair", and when the kidney qi is sufficient, the hair will naturally look good.

Therefore, if the hair loss is caused by insufficient kidney qi, we can refer to Chapter 7 to increase nutrition for the kidneys and do more exercise, as long as we are serious about nourishing the kidneys.Reasonable sleep is to give hair the moisture it needs. Many young people often stay up late to work or play all night. Lack of sleep leads to lack of righteousness in the body and a large amount of hair loss.Therefore, people who often stay up late to work overtime and are prone to insomnia should try to stay up as little as possible. If they stay up late, they must take a nap to adjust the disordered biological clock and improve hair loss.Frequent hair combing and massage are to loosen the soil of the hair. Frequent combing of the hair and massaging the head can loosen the soil of the hair, so as to refresh the brain, adjust sleep, blacken hair and prevent hair loss.You can buy a horn comb and comb your hair whenever you have nothing to do. The price is not expensive, the price is persistence.When massaging, it is best to massage the Baihui acupoint in the center of the head, and rub it with your thumb for 3 to 5 minutes to feel soreness; Press and knead with your thumbs for 1 minutes, preferably if you feel sore.Both of these methods can alleviate the problem of hair loss.To prevent hair loss, you must also maintain a happy mood, exercise scientifically, shampoo and condition your hair correctly, and develop good living habits... In short, the center of all health care is for your hair. 4. Don't be "gland" ugly when you are in your thirties. Among all kinds of food, pumpkin seeds can be said to be the protector of the prostate.Pumpkin seeds have diuretic and kidney-reinforcing effects. Eating 3 grams of pumpkin seeds twice a day, morning and evening, can effectively prevent benign prostatic hyperplasia.However, it is not advisable to eat too much, as eating too much will affect digestion.

Many men are always indifferent to the deterioration of their "glandular" shape because of their face, thinking that they can survive it after a while.However, due to the particularity of the anatomical structure of the prostate, the treatment of the prostate itself has become a difficult problem in the medical field.At this time, this so-called "manliness" will often make the condition worse and delay treatment.If you find it difficult to hold back your urine recently, you will panic to find the toilet when you feel the urge to urinate; you need to work hard to find the toilet, and there will be a "stop flow" phenomenon for a second or two in the middle; the more you look for the toilet, the more More and more frequent, the interval between two urinations does not exceed 1 hour; during or after urinating, you will feel tingling or burning pain in the urethra, and often feel a little "unfinished" after urinating.Well, there may be something wrong with your prostate.Traditional Chinese medicine calls the prostate a "man's body". The reason why it goes wrong is mainly caused by two major reasons, internal and external.In terms of external causes, the six evils can cause prostate diseases, among which fire evil, damp evil, and cold evil are the main ones. (1) Fire evil invades the prostate, which is most likely to cause acute prostatitis and prostatic abscess, mainly manifested as burning pain in the perineum, hot and astringent urination, accompanied by systemic symptoms such as thirsty mouth, dry stool, and fever. (2) Damp evil invades the prostate, usually causing dripping urine, turbid urine, heaviness and discomfort in the genitals, accompanied by general fatigue, indigestion, loss of appetite, white and greasy tongue coating and other problems.

(3) Cold evil invades the prostate, usually causing cold pain in the genitals, tightness of the scrotum, frequent urination, fear of cold and cold limbs, and lack of energy.If you already suffer from chronic prostatitis, and then stimulated by cold evil, it will induce some old diseases.The internal causes are mainly emotional disorders, eating disorders, and loss of work and rest. (1) Among the seven human emotions, anger, worry, thought, shock, and fear are most closely related to the onset of prostate disease.If depression and anger injure the liver, the liver loses its balance, stagnation of qi movement, and unfavorable qi transformation in the lower energizer, there will be dribbling or difficult urination; worry and thinking are most likely to damage the spleen, and the spleen governs the movement and transformation. Once the spleen fails to move If the prostate is trapped by dampness, there will be turbid urine, urine dripping and other phenomena; fright and fear are the most likely to damage the kidney qi, damage to the kidney qi, or see profuse urination, Or see weak urination, which is more common in those with enlarged prostate. (2) Improper diet will lead to imbalance of spleen and stomach functions, endogenous damp heat, fire and poison, and poison evil will invade the prostate, which will lead to the occurrence of prostatitis. (3) Loss of work and rest can also lead to prostate disease.

For example, overworked sex will exhaust the kidney essence and cause excessive hyperemia of the prostate gland, leading to chronic aseptic prostatitis and recurrence of chronic prostatitis.In addition, sitting for a long time, coupled with a lack of certain exercise, will block the movement of Qi channels and blood circulation of gay men, easily cause genital congestion, and cause prostate congestion, swelling, and inflammation.Sitting in a sofa soft chair for a long time is more harmful to the prostate.Based on the above reasons, the health preservation of prostate patients should start from these places that are prone to problems in daily life. (1) To prevent the six evils and treat diseases, we should start with health preservation in the four seasons, adapt to the changes of the four seasons, and prevent the invasion of the six evils from the outside world. You can refer to Chapter 6. (2) In terms of emotions, many patients are overly afraid and worried after illness.It's normal to have such thoughts, but don't worry too much. You must build confidence in overcoming the disease at ordinary times, despise it strategically, and pay attention to it tactically. At the same time, you must maintain emotional stability and actively cooperate with doctors to cure the disease .

(3) In terms of diet, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, eat some beef, eggs and other foods in moderation; drink more water; eat less spicy and fatty products; drink less alcohol and stay away from coffee; Food; eat less sugar and refined flour.Among various foods, pumpkin seeds can be said to be the protector of the prostate.Pumpkin seeds have diuretic and kidney-reinforcing effects. Eating 50 grams of pumpkin seeds twice a day, morning and evening, can effectively prevent benign prostatic hyperplasia.However, it is not advisable to eat too much, as eating too much will affect digestion.You can watch TV every day after you wake up, or watch TV every night.Mung beans are good for water and detoxification. We can boil mung beans into porridge, let it cool, and eat it freely. It is especially suitable for people with hot bladder and painful urination.In addition, use 50 grams of mung beans and 25 grams of plantain seeds (available in pharmacies), cook together until they are fully cooked (when cooking, it is best to wrap the two with fine gauze, add more water to the pot, and cook over a warm fire until the beans are rotten), eat mung beans.Take it once a day in the morning and evening, which is most suitable for patients with chronic prostatitis.In addition to the above maintenance methods, we also need to prevent excessive sexual life, don't hold back urine, keep warm for the perineum, keep the stool smooth, and often participate in some sports.
