Patient's question:
The leaders in our unit have been following their doctor's advice to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits and to exercise moderately since they discovered they have high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol. They have been going to the gym every day and have skipped their naps at noon, sticking to this routine for a year now.Honestly, I think the gym is a good place to exercise, but if someone skips their naps and goes to the gym instead, it might not be the best approach for managing high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol. So, I wanted to ask—is the gym effective in completely eliminating these conditions?
Doctor's answer:
In daily life, some people with high blood pressure, high blood lipids, and high blood sugar use activities to reduce these three highs, but some people may have doubts: can activities really completely reduce the three highs? The three highs refer to the high blood pressure, high blood lipids, and high blood sugar we commonly talk about. We all know that the three highs are very harmful to our bodies, but they are not that easy to lower. This is because if we use medication, we worry about the body not being able to tolerate it or about potential side effects. Since people with the three highs are generally elderly, the best method is to eliminate them completely through activities. In fact, activities can completely eliminate the three highs, but the process is very difficult. We all know that people with the three highs are special due to their condition, so even if they engage in activities to completely eliminate the three highs, they must choose activities they are good at and should not engage in activities that involve long distances.
