How could being as white as milk be so scary?

The boy's blood is as white as milk because he only drank beverages and no water for 6 years

One day, 30-year-old Xiao Zhang suddenly fell to the ground and lost consciousness. After being sent to the hospital, he was diagnosed with cerebral hemorrhage and needed immediate surgery. However, when the neurosurgeon opened his cranial cavity, he was shocked to find that the blood in the patient's brain was as thick as melted ice cream and was pink in color, which was extremely abnormal.

This kind of blood is called "milk blood" and its scientific name is chylosing blood. Chyle means "blood with oily slickness" or "blood with too many fat particles." The presence of a large number of fat particles in the blood will cause the plasma to appear milky or turbid.

Such "fat-rich" blood will inevitably cause hyperlipidemia, resulting in slow blood flow, deposition of fat particles in the blood vessel walls, causing or accelerating atherosclerosis in our blood vessels, which can even be life-threatening in severe cases.

Drinking only beverages and no water for 6 years

At the age of 30, in the prime of life, how could he suffer such a serious cerebral hemorrhage? And "milk blood"?

The doctor asked one by one and finally found the crux of the problem. It turns out that it was all caused by drinking only beverages and not water!

Xiao Zhang is an instructor at a driving school. He usually goes out driving and practices, and is away for a long time. When he is thirsty, he buys drinks such as Coke, juice, and Red Bull, but he never buys mineral water. In the six years since he became a coach, he has hardly ever drunk plain water, even at home, as he feels that "only beverages are satisfying."

After the drink is consumed, the ingredients in the drink participate in the body's metabolism. The water in it is discharged after a circle, and the pigments and flavors in it are also not needed by the human body. However, the sugar in the beverage remains in the body. Some of it is absorbed into the blood and increases blood sugar, while some enters the liver and is stored. An adult needs to consume 1000~2000ml of water every day. If all this water is replaced by beverages, you can calculate how many calories you have consumed at once.

As a driving school instructor, Xiao Zhang lacks exercise, sits more and moves less. He is 1.7 meters tall and weighs almost 180 kilograms.

Xiao Zhang suffered from high blood pressure, high blood lipids and high blood sugar, which eventually led to cerebral hemorrhage. Too many fat particles in the blood will cause "milky blood".

How to avoid "milk blood"?

Control your weight. Being overweight can easily lead to heart disease. If you are obese and have hyperlipidemia, it is very easy to cause atherosclerosis.

Don’t eat too much greasy food, don’t binge on meat and fish, eat more fruits and vegetables, avoid excessive drinking, and stay away from seafood and other foods with high cholesterol content;

Drink more water and less beverages, and drink eight glasses of water a day.

Do moderate exercise every day, and you won’t have “milky blood”!
