33-year-old Li Na will be 6-year-old daughter sent to her mother-in-law’s home to read elementary school, she was determined to restore their 20-year-old slim figure, began to lose weight and desperately dieting, every day at noon only to eat less than half a bowl of rice, vegetables also eat very little, morning and evening, only eat an apple. Bitter, ate a lot, but also quite effective, weight greatly reduced, waist and hips were not so “drum”. A month later, just when she was complacent to celebrate their own move to obtain the “results”, Li Na is unexplained frequent nausea, vomiting and other symptoms, and then developed to panic, shortness of breath, can not lie down, the fastest heart rate of 180 times / min. Family members brought Li Na to the Department of Cardiology of a major hospital in Wuhan City, Professor Yang after examination and finally made a diagnosis: Li Na suffers from vitamin B1 deficiency due to pediculosis. After intravenous high-dose vitamin B1 supplementation and other comprehensive treatment, Li Na’s heart rate dropped to normal in a few days. Half a month later, Lina’s foot fungus has been basically cured. Li Na this is very confused, lose weight, why will reduce foot foot disease? According to statistics, in the United States and other Western countries, dieting weight loss in the incidence of foot disease in women as high as 11.2% or more. China has not been carried out in this regard, although the statistics, but the clinical cardiology has also been reported, should cause women to pay enough attention. First, foot fungus disease is not “foot odor” “foot odor” refers to the common daily life caused by fungal infection between the toes, fingers ulcers and itching, also known as “athlete’s foot”. Foot fungus is a disease that is clinically characterized by damage to the cardiovascular system and peripheral nerves due to vitamin B1 deficiency. Damage to the cardiovascular system is characterized by arrhythmias and heart failure, with supraventricular tachycardia being the most common arrhythmia. Peripheral nerve damage is mainly manifested as numbness, pain, weakness of the limbs, muscle atrophy, tendon reflexes are weakened or disappeared. China as early as the Sui and Tang dynasties (7th century) has been recorded “long time eating white rice foot disease”. Sun Simiao in the Tang Dynasty with the “Thousand Gold Wings Fang” will be differentiated into swollen, not swollen, foot into the heart of the three types of gas, it is clear that there was a deeper understanding of this disease. More than a hundred years ago, medical doctors have found that the lack of vitamin B1 is the cause of foot fungus disease. If you have a good diet, pay attention to the reasonable mix of food, then, under the current conditions of the general population is not a lack of vitamin B1. However, in recent years, due to some women love beauty in order to slim figure, dieting to lose weight, developed unscientific eating habits, or due to disease eating disorders, resulting in vitamin B1 deficiency, which triggered the foot disease. In the clinical work will often encounter such patients, a considerable portion of them do not understand the cause of the disease they suffer from, and even some of the doctors on this disease also lack sufficient knowledge. Second, why can vitamin B1 deficiency cause foot fungus disease? This is mainly due to the human body needs a constant supply of energy, and the source of energy mainly rely on glucose metabolism supply, glucose metabolism and must have vitamin B1 as a coenzyme in order to complete. If the glucose is compared to a pile of firewood or a barrel of gasoline, although they store energy, but no kindling can not be burned, the energy can not be released, vitamin B1 as kindling, because of the lack of vitamin B1, glucose can not be metabolized to produce energy. The heart and nervous system are the most metabolized and energy-consuming organs in the human body. Therefore, when vitamin B1 long-term lack of, will cause glucose metabolism disorder, and then lead to cardiovascular system and nervous system dysfunction, triggering foot fungus disease. Third, how to prevent beriberi Medical experts remind us to prevent beriberi to pay attention to the following points: (1) to correct the vitamin B1 deficiency can lead to a variety of bad habits and hobbies, in particular, should avoid alcoholism. (2) pay attention to the reasonable combination of diet. Do not eat only staple food without eating vegetables, vegetables, peanuts, lean meat contains more vitamin B1. Do not eat only refined rice and flour, to eat some appropriate coarse grains, because coarse grains are much richer than the vitamin B1 contained in refined rice and flour. (3) Attention should be paid to the amount of food and food preparation when losing weight and dieting. Meanwhile, clinicians should not neglect vitamin B1 supplementation when treating patients with eating disorders due to various causes. Especially for long-term eating disorders, when supplementing fluids and glucose, it is important not to give large amounts of glucose without adequate vitamin B1 supplementation. In addition, in the treatment of diseases that can cause vitamin B1 deficiency, the sudden appearance of unexplained clinical manifestations of cardiovascular and neurological damage, should be alert to whether the complication of foot fungus. If possible, patients should be tested for blood pyruvate or vitamin B1 levels in a timely manner. When there is no condition for blood biochemical examination, vitamin B1 should also be used for experimental treatment. In the case of vitamin B1 deficiency, significant therapeutic effects are often achieved in a short period of time, even within 2 to 3 hours.
