Chapter 1161: Being slightly overweight is the healthiest
With the blink of an eye, night passes and day comes, and a new day begins.
Yu Zhiming got up, opened the curtains and looked at the drizzle outside, feeling a little depressed.
After washing up, he went to the fitness area downstairs, where he rode an exercise bike and practiced longevity exercises.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Yu Zhiming, his family, and Zhou Mo, who had arrived early, had breakfast together.
The breakfast was quite rich, with three staple foods including fried dumplings, egg fried rice, and scallion pancakes. Drinks included milk and millet porridge. In addition, there were side dishes such as fried eggs, braised beef, bitter melon slices, and cold shredded vegetables.
Yu Zhiming noticed that Zhou Mo only drank a glass of milk and ate a fried egg, and then stopped eating.
"Have you eaten at home? Still no appetite?"
Zhou Mo answered Yu Zhiming's concern frankly, "Lose weight. In order to model well at the charity gala, I need to lose at least ten pounds."
Yu Zhiming rolled his eyes and said, "Among the amateurs performing on stage, your appearance is already the best."
"You can't become a professional model in such a short time, no matter how much you practice. Is it really necessary to torture yourself?"
Zhou Mo pursed his lips and explained, "I have to pay more attention to my own business, right?"
Yu Zhiming advised, "Don't we have professional models? Just let them showcase the beauty of your clothes."
"When we go on stage, we mainly show our style, and the clothing display is just a by-product."
Zhou Mo pondered and said, "That's true."
"When we walk on the stage, you are the boss. We can't overshadow you."
"It's not good for me to overshadow Duan Yi, Zhou Luo, Shen Qi, and Sui Chi. They are serious doctors."
Realizing this, Zhou Mo picked up his chopsticks again and said, "I'm not going to lose weight anymore. I'll eat and drink."
Seeing that he had successfully persuaded her, Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "From a health perspective, the healthiest body type is slightly overweight."
"Zhou Mo, you have the perfect body shape."
Xiaoxue couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, is this true? Wouldn't it be healthier if the whole body is made of muscle?"
Yu Zhiming explained: "A study in the New England Journal of Medicine, a world-renowned medical journal, shows that East Asians have the lowest risk of death when their body mass index is slightly overweight. Above or below this range, the risk of dying from cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other diseases increases significantly."
"Also, research in the island nation shows that people who are slightly overweight have the longest lifespan. People who are slightly overweight at the age of 40 can live 6 to 7 years longer than those who are thin."
Xiaoxue looked at her hands, pinched her face, and asked, "Uncle, am I a little chubby?"
Yu Zhiming also explained: "There is a body mass index, which is calculated by dividing the weight in kilograms by the square of the height in meters."
"A body mass index below 18.5 is considered thin, while a body mass index between 25 and 30 is considered slightly overweight."
"If it's over 30, it's considered obese."
Yu Zhiming added: "It should be pointed out that the body mass index was studied on adults aged 40. This index only has a certain reference value for people of other age groups."
Xiaoxue quickly took out her phone, opened the calculator, and said with a smile, "My body mass index is less than 24. It seems I need to eat and drink more."
"Auntie Zhou, your index is over 25, right?"
Zhou Mo said embarrassedly: "It should be more than."
Yu Zhiming glanced around at the people at the table and made his assessment: "Eldest sister, Aunt Qiu, and Zhou Mo are slightly plump. Me, Fourth sister, and Zeng Yan are on the thin side."
"Jiang Feng and Xiaoxue, neither fat nor thin..."
After breakfast, Yu Zhiming packed up a bit, and together with Zhou Mo, they met up with special service guard Sun Lin, boarded the Phantom, left Junshanfu Community, and headed for Gancaotang.
"Monday, outpatient clinic!"
"I've made an appointment with an engineer named Dai to have my leg injury checked on Tuesday..."
Yu Zhiming interrupted Zhou Mo, who was reporting on his work arrangements, and said, "Contact the boy with the throat injury and the girl who suddenly lost her voice. Have them prepare themselves and wait."
"After we confirm the time when Dr. Adenauer will come to Binhai, we will ask them to come two days in advance."
Zhou Mo nodded and said, "Doctor Yu, I heard that the day before yesterday, Doctor Cai Yongxian went to Beijing Union Hospital to check on the basketball player's knee injury and discussed the surgical plan with Doctor Yu."
Seeing Yu Zhiming didn't say anything, Zhou Mo continued, "I wonder if Dr. Cai regrets it?"
"If he hadn't gone to Jingcheng Hospital, he would have been the surgeon responsible for the basketball player's recovery surgery."
Yu Zhiming said softly, "There's nothing to regret. Every loss has its own gains. Now that he's at Jingcheng Hospital, he can focus more on research into sports injury recovery."
Zhou Mo said indignantly, "Without your guidance, Doctor Yu, no matter how focused he is on research, I'm sure his improvement will be very limited."
"With your help, Dr. Yu successfully completed a nearly impossible surgery, allowing that young basketball player to play again."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "It's too early to say that now. It will take at least half a year for that young man to recover and see if he can finally play."
Zhou Mo chuckled and said, "Doctor Yu is full of confidence. He said this is the most impressive surgery he's performed in recent years."
The next moment, she changed her topic and said, "Dr. Adenauer is a world-renowned laryngeal surgeon. Should we take advantage of his visit to Binhai to invite those laryngeal surgeons from China?"
Yu Zhiming pondered and said, "Although this learning opportunity is rare, we need to seek Dr. Adenauer's consent first. We can't act on our own."
Zhou Mo analyzed: "You need Dr. Adenauer, and he needs you too. I think he will agree."
"You further enhance your reputation, and he also enhances his popularity in the country. It's a win-win situation."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "I'm not doing this for my own reputation. I'm mainly hoping that domestic laryngeal surgeons can exchange ideas with Dr. Adenauer and gain something from it."
Zhou Mo chuckled and said, "You are subjectively doing this for others, but objectively it has increased your own reputation."
"Doctor Yu, once you become world-famous, inviting people from all over the world to help you will only be a matter of making a phone call."
Yu Zhi understood what this guy said and said, "How can it be as simple as you say? An invitation is not just empty talk. It's not about owing someone a favor, but like with Dr. Adenauer, where I help him and he helps me in exchange."
Zhou Mo smiled and said, "If others want to invite me, I guess they won't even be able to find a way..."
The two chatted casually and finally arrived at Gancaotang at nearly nine o'clock in the morning on the slippery road due to rain.
As soon as Yu Zhiming got out of the car, he saw Ye Peng, Liang Qian and others coming out to greet him in the rain.
He walked quickly forward, met up with Ye Liang and the others, and walked into Gancao Hall together, where he met Ye Lao and the others who were waiting in the lobby.
"Teacher, I'm late!"
Elder Ye chuckled and said, "It's not too late at all. Gancaotang is closed today, so there's still plenty of time."
He pointed at Ye Peng, Liang Qian and the others and pleaded, "The five people from our Gancaotang who will be participating in the competition have been confirmed. In addition to Ye Peng and Liang Qian, there are also Li Fangjin, Yu Cheng and Suga Feng."
Yu Zhiming also knew Li Fangjin, Yu Cheng and Suga Feng, the three people introduced by Mr. Ye, but he was not as familiar with them as Ye Liang and the other one.
The rules of the Three Halls Competition are that each family will send five people to compete in several traditional Chinese medicine projects such as taking pulses, diagnosis, prescribing, identifying medicines, decocting medicines, acupuncture, bone setting and massage.
For each event, each family will send two people to compete, and one person can appear at most three times.
For each event, the competition rankings will be determined, with the first place getting six points, the second place getting five points, and the last place getting one point.
In the end, the winner is determined based on the total score of each team.
Among these competition items, Yu Zhiming can only help with acupuncture and bone setting and massage.
With the arrival of Yu Zhiming, the four disciples of Master Ye who served as guinea pigs simply lay down on the four acupuncture beds that had been prepared in the lobby.
Ye Peng, Liang Qian, Li Fangjin and Yu Cheng each took out a set of gold needles and made preparations before acupuncture.
As for the fifth person, Suga Feng, as a pharmacist, he doesn't know much about acupuncture.
Zhou Mo felt a chill and got goose bumps when he saw a long, thin needle piercing into a person's body.
She leaned closer to Yu Zhiming and asked quietly, "Um, Doctor Yu, how do you say this acupoint in Chinese medicine is called in Western medicine?"
Yu Zhiming explained softly, "The acupuncture points in traditional Chinese medicine can also be explained simply using anatomy in Western medicine."
"Generally speaking, acupuncture points refer to the key points where muscles, tendons, bones, nerves, lymph nodes, etc. are connected."
After a pause, Yu Zhiming continued, "This acupuncture point is usually located at the junction of tendons, bones and muscles."
"Such as concave joints, concave muscle joints, concave tendon-bone joints, concave tendon-muscle joints, junctions between nerves and muscles, joints between muscles, dense nerves or lymph nodes, etc."
"These locations have some special physiological functions. By stimulating and massaging these relatively sensitive areas, we can soothe specific muscles, transmit physiological control information, and induce induction in related parts of the body."
Zhou Mo said, as if he understood something, "Doctor Yu, that means our theory of acupuncture points and meridians in Traditional Chinese Medicine also has a scientific basis."
Yu Zhiming said slowly, "Traditional Chinese medicine has its own independent theoretical system. It is not appropriate to use Western medicine to prove its scientific nature."
"The premise of this proof implicitly acknowledges the incomparable correctness and scientific nature of Western medicine."
"The problem is, even with the advancements in medicine, our understanding of ourselves is still far from complete, and there are still many mysteries waiting for us to explore."
Zhou Mo let out another soft "oh".
At this time, Yu Zhiming saw that Ye Peng, Liang Qian and others had each received one or two injections.
He first came close to Ye Peng and reached out to check the specific part of the body where he had inserted the needles...
