As people's lives get better and better, some diseases suffered by the elderly are also spreading to young people, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and so on. This shows that we have bid farewell to the era of extreme material scarcity.
In September 1987, I just turned 18 years old, and my township, Xiaojiaying Township, Hanting District, Weifang City, Shandong Province, went to sign up for the physical examination, and my weight was 46 kilograms, two kilograms less than the minimum weight of 48 kilograms. In fact, it is the time of physical development, and it is normal to lose a few pounds.
In January 1990, the village militia company commander told me that he could still sign up for the army. There are 13 natural villages in our township, and I remember that there were those who signed up for the preliminary physical examination at that time.
Seventy or eighty people, only more than 30 people passed the initial inspection. The township used a big truck to pull us to the Hanting District People's Hospital for a physical examination, and after a round of physical examination, only 11 people were qualified, and I was one of them, and my weight at that time was exactly 50 kilograms. At that time, the standard of living was relatively low, and I could eat two stir-fried dishes a week, and there was no meat in the dishes.
In the recruit company, the training intensity is high, the amount of food is also large, and you can eat stir-fried vegetables every day, sometimes you can eat half a bowl of braised pork. In the three-month recruit company, I have gained four kilograms of weight, and my body looks much stronger.
Now the child's height is generally increasing, the reason is that the nutritional level has been reached, which is the main reason, of course, it is also related to the intake of some hormones. May our lives get better and our food safer.
