In today's fast-paced society, the younger generation is facing increasingly severe health challenges. According to People's Daily Science Channel, a 30-year-old man named Wang Gang (pseudonym) developed a severe addiction to playing on his phone at night, leading to extreme disruption in his daily routine. This ultimately overwhelmed his body, resulting in a sudden stroke. Wang's case serves as a stark warning about the importance of health.
Wang's story is not an isolated incident. It reflects the four major health threats commonly faced by young people today: escalating life pressures, imbalanced diet, irregular sleep patterns, and neglect of hypertension. These issues are silently eroding the health defenses of the younger generation.
Stroke, especially hemorrhagic stroke, commonly known as "brain hemorrhage," is a severe disease that strikes rapidly and progresses swiftly.
It can lead to not only limb paralysis, speech impediments, and cognitive decline but also serious consequences like depression. Its high fatality and disability rates cannot be overlooked.
The shadow of stroke is not far away. According to the "China Stroke Prevention and Control Report (2023)," the number of stroke patients among people over 40 nationwide has reached a staggering 12.42 million.
What's alarming is that on average, every 10 seconds, someone experiences a first-time or recurrent stroke, and every 8 seconds, someone dies from it. Behind these statistics are the sorrow of families and the heavy burden on society.
Excessive reliance on mobile phones also harbors other health risks. For instance, many people use their phones in dim environments, staring at the faint screen brightness for extended periods, inadvertently increasing eye strain and the risk of glaucoma.
Glaucoma, an irreversible vision impairment disease, may not show obvious symptoms in the early stages. However, once it progresses severely, it can lead to permanent vision loss, significantly impacting one's quality of life.
