A few days ago, I asked a few friends to make tea at Gulin Zen Temple and talked about everything, which was so pleasant.

A friend suddenly asked: I read your article, and the title is often 10 years old. Does it have any meaning?

In the morning breeze and listening to the melodious bird singing in the forest, I suddenly felt a trance that traveled through time and space.

Yes, why do you have to write for ten years? Why do I always like to write for ten years? I looked forward and it was true (click on the link ↓↓↓).

is true: mistakenly transforms coptis chinensis into ink, and it will be bitter after half of my life.

Whether in ancient times or today, 10 years is a long time, or we can also call it time.

A glass of wine for peach and plum blossoms, a night rain in the rivers and lakes for ten years.

Ten years of life and death are endless, and you will never forget it if you don’t think about it. Every word

seems to be bloody, and ten years of hard work are unusual.

Ten years are enough to make Eason Chan sing those two words tremblingly, enjoying it while crying, not knowing whether it was breaking up or gentleness.

Ten years are enough to make Mulan join the army for her father, and achieved both loyalty and filial piety, and counterattacked with her daughter to become General Xiaolie.

Ten years is enough to make Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai’s campus love turn into a cocoon and into a butterfly. Such tragedy has finally been sung for thousands of years.

However, I have encountered many decades in clinical practice, but it is a decade that is enough to make young and middle-aged people go from health to decline, a decade that is enough to go from ignorance and fearlessness to regret.

China is a major hypertensive country. There are currently more than 245 million hypertensive patients, but the current treatment and control rate are still very low.

Many patients clearly know that they have high blood pressure, but because they are worried about the side effects of the drugs, they are worried that taking medicine will become addicted, they are worried that taking medicine will be too young and will have no medicine available after taking medicine, they are worried that taking medicine too early will easily lead to drug resistance, and they are worried that taking medicine will damage the liver and kidneys, so they insist on not taking medicine for treatment.

On the other hand, I hope to find a secret recipe to control blood pressure without taking medicine. Because hypertension often has no obvious symptoms, it is easy to ignore it, and it often delays for 10 years.

However, the damage caused by high blood pressure to the body has lasted for 10 years.

actually has a special liking for 10 years in medicine.

There is a very famous 10-year risk assessment in my country. It is written in the "Guidelines for the Risk Assessment and Management of Cardiovascular Diseases in China", called the China-PAR model, which predicts the 10-year and lifelong risks of cardiovascular diseases in the population, and then adopts corresponding lifestyle intervention and treatment based on the calculated risks.

Isn’t this the same as fortune telling?

In fact, in this world, many things have their own will. Some are related to innate genes and some are related to acquired habits. What causes and what results are obtained? This is scientific fortune telling.

A doctor will more or less believe in a little bit of metaphysics after being a doctor for a long time. Don’t you believe it? You can ask which doctor dares to shout "I'm idle today!" while on duty. The nurses will definitely look at him with horror and despair, and then often it's a sleepless night of busy rescue [she burst into tears].

This prediction model has 11 indicators in , namely: Gender, age, current residence (city or rural, north or south - bounded by Yangtze River ), waist circumference, total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), current blood pressure level, whether you take antihypertensive drugs, whether you have diabetes , whether you smoke now, and whether you have a family history of cardiovascular disease.

And most of these are things we can change through hard work, which is also the basis for preventing and treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases .

Of course, life sometimes still doesn’t work well.

I have a friend whose parents both have high blood pressure. My father died of myocardial infarction at the age of 50 and my mother died at the age of 65.

His blood pressure reached 146/95mmHg when he was 32 years old. However, he worked very hard, through diet control and exercise, quitting smoking and drinking, and kept his blood pressure at around 130/80mmHg, which lasted for 10 years.

In the past year, due to some problems in the company, there have been more social engagements and poor sleep. This year, blood pressure has begun to rise again, reaching 150/100mmHg, and low-density lipoprotein has also risen to 4.2mmol/L. It must be controlled with medication.

He was very frustrated: after working hard for 10 years, he still couldn't change his destiny, so why do you still have to work hard?

In fact, in the past 10 years, he has still maintained a healthy body, as energetic as an perpetual motion machine . His blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood lipids are basically controlled within the normal range, and there are no heart and blood vessel lesions. This itself is the result of hard work.

If it weren't for the breaking of regular living habits over the past year, it would be possible that he would still be able to maintain good blood pressure.

Next, if he can control his blood pressure and lipids and adjust his mentality, then in the next ten years, what he will gain may also be a healthy body.

If you are indulgent, eat and drink, and are frowning, you may also gain a pathological life in 10 years.

0 years are actually not just 10 years, it is just a synonym for a long life.

Ten years can dilute memories and wash away dust, while also being enough to leave traces of time.

I listened to the melodious bells coming from Gulin Temple , drinking the morning dew, and a cup of mere grief was wiped out.

Respect the rest of your life and the original intention is still the same. May the world be safe and worry-free!
