This is a book for all "foodies". Each of us is born to eat goods. Our ancestors have evolved for tens of thousands of years. In order to adapt to food shortage, natural enemies and complex and changeable natural environment, they have developed the skill of "eating food". Nowadays, when the "cannibalism" instinct faces the delicious food filled with shelves and refrigerators almost overnight, the evolutionary instinct that once helped us survive and multiply has made us overweight and obese.
In the past 100 years, through a large number of pathological cases, this book shows that scientists are constantly exploring their own mysteries while exploring the outside world, and through the basic logic of saving lives, it fully shows the quest and fearless courage of medical scientists, bringing us gratifying achievements in overcoming difficult problems again and again, and making outstanding contributions to human health and progress. At the same time, explaining the magic and strength of our human body in simple terms has also triggered how we should better know and understand our body that we live together day and night, and how to treat ourselves with awe and science in the face of the ever-improving quality of life.
The following is a mind map:
Attach some interesting illustrations:
Schematic diagram of conjoined mice experiment:
Schematic diagram of human body fat distribution:
No wonder the position of male and female meat is different:)
Schematic diagram of various physiological functions of white fat;
Distribution of brown adipose tissue in infants;
? Note: The function of white fat is to store fat, and the function of brown fat is to burn and consume fat. The picture below also illustrates a problem: the scientific basis that the baby is not afraid of cold-parents really don't need to wrap too many clothes for the baby, they all have a heating function.
Schematic diagram of blood sugar fluctuation after lunch in a day:
? As can be seen from the figure:
? A, really can't eat too much, otherwise in the long run, the pancreas will get sick and can't produce enough insulin to fight against glucose in the blood, leading to diabetes;
? B, taking a hundred steps after a meal and exercising properly will all help to lower blood sugar.
? Knowledge point supplement: the competition of pharmaceutical companies is fierce, and the cost of drug research and development and time cost are high. Therefore, patent protection has become the lifeline for pharmaceutical companies to protect their own interests. In most countries, the patent protection period of drugs is 20 years, thus ensuring the market monopoly position and market return of drug development enterprises. Generally speaking, pharmaceutical companies apply for patents in the early stage of the R&D process, and the whole drug R&D process often lasts for more than ten years-therefore, after calculation,
? Through the study of this book, I am more in awe of people themselves, more in awe of the rigor of medicine, and more in admiration of these medical scientists who have made outstanding contributions to human progress. Without their exploration and struggle, my relatives with diabetes around me can't live happily now, enjoy the blue sky and white clouds, sunshine and rain, and can't live happily with us.
? Thanks to social development, thanks to scientific progress and medical exploration, thanks to our times.
? Finally, send eggs with mind map text and pictures.
