● Fruit acids can help with digestion, so if you have digestive problems, then I encourage you to eat a fruit after a meal. But if you have good digestion, eating fruit after a meal may instead help. Because it takes two hours or more to digest food after it enters the stomach, and fruits, especially harder fruits, such as apples and pears, can linger in the stomach for a long time, not only adding to the digestive burden, but also reacting to produce gas and cause bloating. Therefore, it is recommended that you eat fruit 1-2 hours after meals.
The physical examination requires fasting, but not that you should not eat from the night before, so that the results obtained are not accurate instead. My advice is to eat a light diet the night before the physical examination, of course no alcohol, coffee or strong tea, and not to eat breakfast, drink less water, or do physical exercise on the morning of the physical examination.

● Not everyone is a good candidate for myopic orthoptic surgery unless you have been wearing myopic glasses or contact lenses consistently and steadily for more than a year prior to surgery. Be sure to tell your eye doctor if you wear glasses when you take them off and on, and that it is best not to have myopic orthoptic surgery in the near future, as this may affect your doctor’s judgment of your corrected vision.
Wearing sunglasses consistently is important to protect your eyes from cataracts and other eye diseases, especially between the hours of 10am and 4pm when the sun is at its peak. On top of the specific choice, it is not the more expensive or the darker the lenses the better, it is whether the lenses are marked to block 100% of the UV rays. Don’t just choose a good-looking frame and ignore the quality of the lenses.

● Don’t worry that natural childbirth will cause your vagina to loosen and lose its shape, this is unfounded. The vagina is almost the most elastic muscle in your body, and it can recover quickly from even minor bleeding due to childbirth. As for concerns about your figure, as long as you don’t overdo the nutrition during pregnancy, not only will you not lose your figure, but you will be able to reshape it after delivery. More importantly, natural childbirth can prevent the onset of many female gynecological diseases. Doctors encourage natural childbirth, and cesarean delivery is only an aid.
As an obstetrician, I know the disadvantages of cesarean delivery better than anyone else. Compared to the painful contractions of a natural birth, the wound after a cesarean is more painful, and you can’t get out of bed for 24 hours after the cesarean, and you can’t have milk until 3 days later, so both mother and baby will suffer. The degree of painful contractions is different for each woman, some even feel little pain, and what is shown in movies and dramas is artistic exaggeration. The moment the baby is born, all the pain and discomfort will be replaced by a great sense of happiness.

A large proportion of the patients I come into contact with are actually infected by the virus because of the “second hand room”. My understanding is that less than 10% of homeowners disinfect their homes when they rent them out, and mites, cold and flu viruses, hepatitis B virus, measles virus, mold, etc. can all survive in a house at room temperature for a long time. If you are moving in the winter, it is even more important to pay attention because these viruses and bacteria will survive longer at low temperatures. Therefore, before moving into a newly rented house, it is important to pre-disinfect the house, the walls, under the bed, sinks, toilets and other places should not be missed, and especially to have a professional to clean and disinfect the air conditioner.

Although there is no medical statistics to confirm a direct correlation between hair dye and blood disorders, in my experience, if you dye your hair more than four times a year, you are much more likely to experience dizziness, migraines, and consequently lower platelets than those who do not dye their hair, and some people will also have a significantly lower white blood cell count, which means lower immunity. I believe this is due to the chemicals in hair dye, which is a topic I’ve been researching recently. My advice is to dye your hair less often.

● Drinking more water is not a good thing. Theoretically, drinking more water can help detoxify the kidneys and reduce the burden on them. If you drink more than 1000 ml of water in an hour, it will lead to hyponatremia and affect the health of your kidneys. Therefore, do not drink more than 100 ml of water at a time and do not drink more than 1000 ml of water per hour.

● Long-term computer use, frequent texting, and years of driving …… These habits can lead to nerve compression and damage in your wrist. If you feel soreness in your wrist, elbow or shoulder joints, there is a chance that the nerve has been damaged. If you let this happen, the pain will get worse as you get older. Therefore, do not be careless, it is best to go to the hospital microsurgery department in time for diagnosis and treatment.

● Acupuncture for weight loss will not be effective for everyone. This is because the principle of acupuncture for weight loss is to stimulate the relevant acupuncture points to reduce appetite and thus achieve weight loss. So, if you usually eat a lot and are simply overweight, then choosing acupuncture for weight loss will have good results. However, if you usually don’t eat much and your obesity is caused by endocrine disorder, it is better to go to the endocrinology department for a checkup.

●Physical therapy is getting hotter and hotter now, and many muscle injuries caused by sports are choosing this non-drug method to treat. In China, many undergraduate and graduate students are now practicing this. But if I go to a doctor, I still choose the old head nurse who leads the shift in the clinic. They are not as educated but very experienced, and physiotherapy is exactly an empirical discipline, some people need this kind of treatment and some people can’t be massaged with this kind of technique, there is no reason and the learning is simply unexplainable. Graduate students, although highly educated but not long enough clinical time, sometimes difficult to judge, but the veteran nurses can quickly make the right treatment based on experience.

●In foreign countries, ultrasound doctors are given a special allowance because the rays are more or less harmful to the body. The “unspoken rule” for pregnant mothers in China is usually to have an ultrasound once a month after the third trimester. However, during the baby’s neurodevelopmental period, any small effect can be harmful to its future. Therefore, my advice is that women should not have more than 3 ultrasounds during pregnancy, and it is best to have them after 6 months.

Every 10 people have a flat foot. A flat foot is a foot with shallow or no arch. People with flat feet will have foot pain when they walk for a long time. But don’t think that walking less or using a car is the solution, because we found that people with flat feet will not only have different degrees of foot bone distortion after the age of 50, but also have different degrees of heart disease. Foreign countries classify flat feet into grades, and flat feet of grade 3 or higher need to be operated on, so it is better to do it now rather than waiting for old age to do the surgery.
