多餐未进食女生晕厥
来自斯通彻斯特的报道:
昨日,斯通彻斯特高中一名女生 多餐未进食后晕厥。
珍妮弗.琼斯, 十五岁,曾告诉同班朋友自己感觉不适, 后来在上午的体育课上晕厥,随即被紧急送往医院。
医生发现珍妮弗的血糖已经低到了很危险的程度,于是马上对其进行治疗。 珍妮弗的父母忧心忡忡,他们告诉医生,女儿当天早晨未进食,前一天的晚餐也几乎丝毫未动。幸运的是,珍妮弗已经脱离了危险。主治医生说,珍妮弗一两天就能康复。
珍妮弗的同学希望她能尽快返回学校。他们说,珍妮弗和进食问题较劲已经很久了。“珍妮弗以为不吃饭就可以轻松减到她的目标体重,”她的朋友劳拉.威廉姆斯告诉记者,“最近几个月,她一直不吃早餐。她对我说,她上课很难集中注意力。我提醒过她,不吃饭有害健康,可她不听。”
珍妮弗的案例提醒我们,无论男女,青少年中已较为常见的不健康减肥习惯存在着危险。在一个往往以瘦为美的社会中,不时有青少年采取极端方式快速瘦身。近期一项针对高中生生活习惯的调查表明,近1/5的青少年经常性地不吃饭,1/10运动过度,4%甚至服用减肥药。这些数据引起了健康专家的关注。他们加大力度教育青少年有关快速减肥引起的不良反应,并提醒青少年不要采取类似极端的方式。
“这些所谓的急速减肥法’ 已证实对青少年有害。青少年轻微超重是正常现象,没有理由为此焦虑。不过,如果超重到达到危险程度,尝试以适当方式减重是十分重要的。”一位专家表示。
她指出,健康均衡的饮食十分重要,因为青少年正在发育,需要大量营养以维持正常的身体机能。如果食物摄入不足,青少年会感觉体虚乏力,容易生病。她补充说:“此外,青少年还应作息规律,多参加运动,才能精力旺盛、身体健康。我们强烈推荐所有青少年遵从这些生活方式的建议,因为好好生活是最健康、最有效的塑身方式。”
