“Old Zhang, looks like you’re going to replenish your health?” As Dr. Chen walked down the community road, he saw Old Zhang carrying several bags of herbal medicine and greeted him with a smile.
“Old Zhang, looks like you’re going to replenish your health?” As Dr. Chen walked down the community road, he saw Old Zhang carrying several bags of herbal medicine and greeted him with a smile.
Old Zhang is a familiar face in the community, just over 60 years old, and was a government employee before retirement. With the end of summer approaching, he specially bought some herbal medicine to prepare health soups for himself.
Unexpectedly, when he looked up, he happened to run into his old friend Dr. Chen. Dr. Chen specializes in health management at the hospital, and Old Zhang often consults him for his minor health issues.
“Oh, it’s Dr. Chen! Yes, taking advantage of the not-so-hot weather, I’m planning to nourish my body a bit to prepare for winter,” Old Zhang replied with a smile.
Dr. Chen looked at Old Zhang and said with a hint of teasing, “Old Zhang, you look pretty good, but has your waistline increased a bit? You need to be careful; your weight can’t just go up mindlessly.”

Upon hearing this, Old Zhang’s face showed a hint of embarrassment: “Alas, I’m getting older; I can’t control my mouth and my legs aren’t as mobile. My weight has indeed been steadily increasing these years. With my age, does being a bit overweight help fight off illness?”
Dr. Chen chuckled, with a serious tone: “Old Zhang, you’ve misunderstood. Many people think that being fat is a blessing and that being thin is weak, but that’s not the case.
Being overweight doesn’t necessarily mean you can withstand illness; it may actually shorten your lifespan. The relationship between weight and longevity is often misunderstood by many.”
Old Zhang, upon hearing this, became interested: “Dr. Chen, does that mean thin people live longer?”
Dr. Chen nodded and explained: “Actually, body weight isn’t the only factor determining lifespan, but it does have some influence.
