In the face of food, we are always difficult to resist, however, excessive consumption can also pose a threat to our health. Recently, in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, 54-year-old Sister Hu suffered a health crisis due to overeating her favorite snack - dried bamboo shoots.
Sister Hu is a big lover of dried bamboo shoots, and she can eat a large bag of dried bamboo shoots in a week. However, this diet Xi habit has caused her problems recently. After eating a large bag of dried bamboo shoots at one time, she suddenly felt severe pain in her abdomen, and even vomited. The panicked Sister Hu immediately went to the First People's Hospital of Hangzhou for treatment.
The doctor's diagnosis surprised Sister Hu, and it turned out that her condition was most likely caused by strangulated intestinal obstruction. What was even more shocking was that the doctor removed an 8-centimeter-long blockage from his small intestine, and the blockage turned out to be a pile of dried bamboo shoots. Because the blocked intestinal wall was already full of blood stasis and was in a state of ischemia, in order to prevent intestinal fistula after surgery, the doctor could only remove about 25 cm of small intestine.
This incident has caused heated discussions among netizens. Some netizens said: "I eat too much at one time, the human stomach is not the stomach of a panda, and I can't eat so much bamboo." Some netizens said: "An appropriate amount of crude cellulose can help intestinal peristalsis, too much will not work, and humans cannot absorb cellulose." ”
As for the comments from netizens, I think they made some important points. It is true that our stomach and intestines are not able to digest a lot of fiber like pandas, and excessive consumption of crude fiber foods such as dried bamboo shoots may cause blockages in the intestines. In addition, moderate intake of crude fiber does help with intestinal motility, but excessive intake may lead to problems such as indigestion.
From this incident, we can draw an important lesson, that is, while enjoying food, we should also pay attention to the reasonable combination of diet and moderate intake. Excessive consumption of any kind of food can be a health risk.
