Woman’s Astonishing Transformation After Surgery for Diabetes and Tumors

A woman in Fujian went to the doctor for obesity and hair loss, and was found to have diabetes and tumors. She lost 20 pounds after undergoing surgery for six months and her appearance changed dramatically.

According to “Dianshi News”, a woman from Fuzhou, Fujian Province, Xiaojuan, went to the hospital six months ago due to obesity, hair loss and irregular menstruation. During the diagnosis, the doctor found that her face was swollen, a large number of striae appeared on the skin of her abdomen and limbs, and she had type 2 diabetes. Therefore, after multidisciplinary consultation, she was finally diagnosed with a right adrenocortical adenoma and recommended that the woman undergo surgery.

The woman was discharged from the hospital successfully after the operation. After a period of recovery, she stopped taking medication and had a follow-up visit six months later. Surprisingly, however, the woman’s blood sugar level not only returned to normal, but she also successfully lost 20 pounds in half a year. Her appearance also underwent an astonishing change, making friends around her full of praise for her. Doctors later pointed out that the disease the woman suffered from was more common in young women, with symptoms including full moon face, central obesity, purple lines on the skin, acne, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, etc.

The woman’s astonishing transformation also attracted netizens to express their admiration: “This woman really feels like she has changed a lot”, “I’m so envious”, “Losing weight is really more beautiful than plastic surgery”, “I have lost more than 20 kilograms, it’s amazing”. Some netizens also praised the doctor: “Thank you to the doctor for his wonderful rejuvenation” and “How lucky you are to have such a responsible medical team.”

Modern people who eat a lot of fish and meat often have high cholesterol. Some studies have found that eating a kind of fruit can lower cholesterol, and it has five major benefits.

Studies and surveys have shown that although avocados are high in calories, they can help lower cholesterol, prevent cancer, diabetes and heart disease, and will not promote weight gain. Other studies have also confirmed the effectiveness of avocado in preventing cardiovascular disease and revealed the optimal serving size.

A multi-university study led by the USDA Human Nutrition Center on Aging aimed to understand the impact of a healthy diet on body weight, visceral fat and cholesterol.

The team asked the participants to eat one kind of fruit every day for 6 months, and after the experiment was completed, changes in the participants’ waist circumference, liver fat, blood sugar, insulin, total cholesterol content and other indicators were measured.

Number of participants: 923

Age: 25 years and above

Waist circumference: women ≥88.9cm (35 inches), men ≥101.6cm (40 inches)

Participants were divided into 2 groups:

One group must eat one large avocado (approximately 280kcal) every day for 6 months. The other group must maintain their original eating habits, but cannot eat more than 2 avocados per day.

Research result:

1. Total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels decreased significantly. It may be related to the dietary fiber and plant sterols of avocado, or it may be due to the changes in intestinal microbiota caused by eating avocado.

2. Eating avocados will not promote weight gain.

Although the average caloric intake of the avocado-consuming group was significantly higher than that of the other group, there was no significant difference in weight change between the two groups. The data showed that participants replaced relatively high carbohydrate foods in their diet with avocado.

3. Improve overall diet quality

One of the study authors, Kristina Petersen, a nutrition expert at Pennsylvania State University, said that eating an avocado a day can greatly improve the overall quality of the diet and have a positive impact on reducing the risk of many diseases: including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers.

Research results have found that eating avocado every day has the following five major health benefits:

1. Total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels decreased significantly, by 2.9 mg/dL and 2.5 mg/dL respectively.

2. Even if the caloric intake is high, it will not promote weight gain.

3. Reduce the risk of heart disease

4. Reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes

5. Reduce the risk of certain cancers

However, eating avocados every day did not produce clinically significant improvements in visceral fat and other risk factors for heart disease. Therefore, the team believes that changing dietary patterns is more critical to preventing cardiovascular disease than a single food or nutrient.
