Patient's question:
The leaders in our unit have been going to the gym every day since they discovered they have high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol. The doctor advised them to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits and to exercise moderately. They haven't taken a nap during lunch for a year. Actually, I think the gym is a good place to exercise, but if someone doesn't even take a nap and goes to the gym instead, it might not be very beneficial for managing high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol. So, I wanted to ask if the gym can completely eliminate these conditions?Doctor's answer:
In daily life, some people with high blood pressure, high blood lipids, and high blood sugar engage in activities to reduce these conditions, but some may have doubts: can activities truly eliminate these three highs completely? The three highs refer to the high blood pressure, high blood lipids, and high blood sugar we commonly hear about. We all know that these three highs pose significant harm to our bodies, but they are not that easy to lower. This is because, if medication is used, there are concerns about the body not being able to tolerate it or about potential side effects. Since people with these three highs are generally elderly, the best approach is to eliminate them through activities. In fact, activities can truly eliminate these three highs, but the process is very difficult. We all know that people with these three highs are special due to their condition, so even if they engage in activities to eliminate them, they must choose activities that suit them and should not participate in activities that involve long distances.
