A 26-year-old man suddenly felt weak in his right arm and was rushed to the hospital. The doctors were shocked when they learned about the one food menu that he ate every meal.
The ETtoday website reported on the story of a 26-year-old Taiwanese man who was preparing for an important exam. He spent more than 12 hours a day studying, did not exercise, and did not go out of the house. One night, while studying, he got up to pick up some fried chicken, but suddenly his right arm became weak. Causing the bag of fried food to fall and scatter all over the floor. His father heard the sound and rushed into the ยูฟ่าเบท room before rushing him to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke.
Dr. Yang Zhiwen, a weight loss specialist , revealed that this young man is severely obese. His blood pressure, sugar, and blood fat levels are significantly above the standard. In addition, he also eats fried food every meal and drinks bubble tea regularly. Which are risk factors that seriously undermine his health.
Dr Yang Zhiwen posted on Facebook that the man underwent emergency surgery to remove the blood clot and was hospitalized for five days before being discharged safely. The sudden weakness in his right arm shocked everyone and motivated him to seek weight loss counseling.
When the doctor checked the history, it was found that this man was 165 cm tall, weighed 120 kg, and had a BMI as high as 45.7, which is considered severely obese. In addition, he had many underlying diseases, such as high blood pressure, high blood fat, accumulated sugar (HbA1c) reaching 10%, and a triglyceride level exceeding 1,000. Which is 7 times higher than normal. All of these factors are the main causes of acute ischemic stroke, with obesity being the most important cause.
After a blood test, the man’s blood sugar and metabolic markers were found to be very abnormal. Dr. Yang Zhiwen also found that his body had high oxidative stress, and his oxidized LDL cholesterol levels were too high, which was the main cause of clogged blood vessels.
Treatment began with blood sugar-lowering medication to control symptoms and prevent acute complications. Diet was then adjusted along with exercise. After 3 months, when she returned for another check-up, it was found that her accumulated sugar (HbA1c) had decreased from 10% to 6.5%. Her weight had decreased by 15 kilograms and her overall health had improved significantly.
Since this man loves to eat fried food at every meal, Dr. Yang Zhiwen warned that although fried chicken and other fried foods are delicious. They also contain many hidden dangers. Fried foods are high in trans fat and saturated fat. Which increase bad cholesterol (LDL) and decrease good cholesterol (HDL), which greatly increases the risk of coronary artery disease, heart disease, and stroke.
He added that fried foods are often coated in flour and use ingredients that contain sugar in the marinade. These hidden sugars cause blood sugar levels to spike quickly. If eaten continuously, it may increase the risk of insulin resistance and diabetes.
In addition, frying in oil at high temperatures creates harmful oxidants. Which if accumulated in the body, trigger chronic inflammation and lead to metabolic syndrome. Another important point is that fried foods are very high in sodium. Eating too much of them will increase blood pressure. Making the heart and kidneys work harder, and increasing the risk of stroke.
