Chapter 799
"Doctor Lin... Doctor Lin, I've thought of it..."
"It's okay, don't worry, uncle, take your time!"
Looking at the old man's excitement, Lin Yi hurried to comfort him.
Constipation has been cured, and he can't be held responsible for other problems.
"You know I have severe rheumatism, which makes me particularly afraid of cold in my daily life."
"Especially when the seasons change, it's even more uncomfortable."
"So basically since the beginning of autumn, the electric blanket on my own bed has been turned on almost 24 hours a day."
"Doctor Lin, using the electric blanket every day, it can't be the excessive external heat you mentioned..."
The old man thought about it and it seemed that this was the only reason that could be told to Doctor Lin, that it was related to being in a high temperature and high heat environment for more than 10 hours a day.
"But that's not right, Dr. Lin!"
"We use electric blankets at home, but we have been doing so for decades. You know, some old buildings don't have good heating, and almost every household uses them in winter."
"My wife and others have never had the same problem!"
The old man suddenly changed the subject and immediately denied the reason he had just concluded.
Not only in Jincheng, but in all northern cities, using electric blankets to keep warm at night is a common situation.
Even like him, there are many elderly people who sleep with electric blankets all day long.
If it is really because of the electric blanket, he can't be the only one with this problem...
"Why do I have a feeling that the old man's problem is really caused by the electric blanket!"
"It would be fine if the old man didn't say it. Now that you say it, I also feel that using an electric blanket while sleeping will not only cause more severe skin peeling, but also cause constipation!"
"You can't blame the electric blanket if you can't find the problem. I have been sleeping on an electric blanket for many years, and there is nothing wrong with it!"
"The key is that people are used to using electric blankets. If there are some small changes in the body of ordinary people, no one will consider this aspect."
"Be quiet and listen to what Dr. Lin says. This is a top priority for sleeping..."
The old man's contradictory speculations made the audience in front of the screen become anxious.
The use of electric blankets is not a little popular in northern cities in China.
For countless years, people have been accustomed to this way of sleeping and heating, but they don't care too much about whether this method has any problems.
"That's right!"
"Using the electric blanket continuously while sleeping should be the key to your constipation and skin problems!"
Lin Yi also suddenly realized and continued the old man's words.
Electric blankets are not used much by young people, but are very common among the elderly. Because Lin Yi himself does not use them, he did not consider this aspect for a while.
Now that I think about it, with the high temperature and high heat environment that the old man can be exposed to, there seems to be no other...
"No, Doctor Lin?"
"Then I can't turn on the electric blanket when I sleep in the future, what should I do?"
"The renovation of our old building has not been completed, and the insulation layer has not been installed. The temperature at home is not up to standard, and I have cold legs."
"The weather is not too cold now, so I can bear it."
"When winter comes, I really can't live without the electric blanket..."
Hearing Lin Yi directly identify the cause of the disease as the electric blanket, the old man complained and panicked.
How can it be so easy to change the living habits that have been developed for many years?
The key is that the conditions at home do not allow it, and for his own reasons, he really cannot survive the winter without an electric blanket.
So he can't change to a house with sufficient heating because of the electric blanket. As a retired old man, how can he have such favorable conditions...
"It's not that you can't turn on the electric blanket, but the way you turn it on is not right at all, which causes all kinds of minor problems in your body!"
Faced with the old man's doubts, Lin Yi felt it necessary to popularize the correct way to use the electric blanket for the audience in front of the screen.
"People's physiques are quite different. Some people may not have any problems if they use electric blankets for a long time."
"But for most people, long-term unscientific use will inevitably cause dry skin, excessive internal heat and other minor problems."
"It's just that people with strong physiques, or young people who have strong internal heat and strong body metabolism, will automatically adjust themselves in a short time even if some minor problems occur."
"It's not so easy for the weak or old to adjust themselves."
"Especially for you, you may not feel this change when you are young. As you age, your body's regulatory function deteriorates, and you will suffer from severe skin peeling and even constipation, which will be more obvious than ordinary people..."
Lin Yi first roughly explained this principle, so that the old man and the audience in front of the TV can have an overall understanding of some problems caused by long-term use of electric blankets.
Because many people have good physical conditions, although they use electric blankets irregularly, they don't have any external symptoms. I'm afraid they will think that Lin Yi is taking things too seriously...
"Doctor Lin, it seems to be true now."
"Sometimes when the weather is good and the sun is strong, and the sun is shining brightly at home, I don't use the electric blanket very often."
"During those days, I had smooth bowel movements and my meals tasted much better than usual."
"As long as you use the electric blanket for more than 10 days, the constipation problem will become more and more serious."
"When you can't poop, it's like smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day. It feels so awkward..."
Following Lin Yi's thoughts, the old man started talking and it seemed like he couldn't cover it up.
However, through his own analysis of his past life experiences, it was really as Dr. Lin said.
It's just that these small habits that are taken for granted in life are usually not paid attention to at all...
"It turns out that the wrong way to use the electric blanket can cause such serious problems!"
"After listening to what the old man said, I also think that's the case!"
"Some things are afraid of careful consideration. If Dr. Lin hadn't seen this patient, we don't know how long we would have been deceived!"
"Every failure makes you wiser. Thank you Dr. Lin for your patience in popularizing science for everyone!"
"So what is the correct way to turn on the electric blanket..."
Through the questions and answers between Lin Yi and the patient, combined with their own past experiences, the audience can empathize more and more.
What is the correct way to turn on the electric blanket has become a problem that everyone urgently needs to know...
