The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

Li Muxia didn't keep anyone in suspense and explained the specific meaning of "the three highs," including the causes and symptoms of the three highs, as well as how to effectively control them. She also changed some of the professional terms on site so that everyone present could understand them at a glance.

In ancient times, there were no professional testing instruments, so the levels of blood lipids, blood sugar, and blood pressure that Li Muxia mentioned could not be detected. Among the people present, only Shangguan Jingye could understand a little, while the others were somewhat confused.

In common parlance, this condition is simply referred to as a "disease of the rich," because those who suffer from high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol are generally from wealthy families and have a certain social status. Therefore, the incidence of this disease is relatively high among royalty, high-ranking officials, and merchants, while ordinary people rarely get it. Hence, it is commonly known as a "disease of the rich."

After listening to Li Muxia's explanation, Shangguan Jingye suddenly understood. Li Muxia had now given a reasonable explanation for the disease, which gave Shangguan Jingye a deeper understanding of it. Moreover, the treatment methods that Li Muxia explained also piqued Shangguan Jingye's interest.

Now, Shangguan Jingye's eyes were filled with longing as he looked at Li Muxia. If the occasion hadn't prevented it, he would have even wanted to pull Li Muxia aside for a more in-depth discussion. Although he didn't possess the medical skills of his master, the Sage of Medicine, his thirst for medical knowledge surpassed that of his master. The Sage of Medicine sometimes admired his disciple's passion for medicine, which could only be described as obsessive.

Shangguan Jingye showed Li Muxia the prescription he had written: "Muxia, take a look at your uncle's prescription. Do you have any suggestions?" He wanted to see just how skilled Li Muxia was in medicine.

Li Muxia respectfully accepted the prescription from Shangguan Jingye with both hands, examining it carefully. She found that it did indeed contain herbs that could alleviate the symptoms of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar. Based on her studies over the past few days, she could see that the prescription was very effective. It could gently nourish the body and quickly suppress the spike in blood pressure. It was practically perfect. No wonder he was the master she had chosen.

After reading the prescription, Li Muxia returned it to Shangguan Jingye and respectfully said, "Muxia is not very knowledgeable and only has a superficial understanding of Uncle's prescription. The herbs in this prescription complement each other and are all of the best quality. The dosage is controlled very well. If there is even a little more or less, it will not have the best effect."

Upon hearing that Li Muxia could discern the correct dosage of the medicinal herbs, Shangguan Jingye raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "This niece is truly remarkable. Her performance today doesn't reflect her supposed lack of knowledge. Controlling the dosage is incredibly difficult; without at least five years of medical experience, it's impossible to dispense medicine accurately. This young girl only glanced at the prescription and immediately understood the dosage ratio. If she's not exceptionally gifted, then she must have been exposed to herbs and studied pharmacology since childhood. It seems the rumors aren't entirely true."

Li Muxia continued, "I have a medicinal diet here that can help. When combined with my uncle's prescription, the effect will be twice as good. It will also allow my grandmother to eat 300 grams of pork knuckle every day without having to restrict her diet too much." She then winked playfully at the old lady.

Upon hearing that she could eat her favorite pork knuckle every day, the old lady immediately asked, "Mu Xia, are you serious?"

Mu Xia looked at the old lady with a slight smile: "Grandma, it's true, but Grandma also needs to control herself, and make sure to go out for a half-hour walk after each meal."

The old lady, a foodie, immediately said happily, "I guarantee it, I can guarantee it. Please write down the recipe for the medicinal cuisine and give it to Hsinchu."

Shangguan Jingye was also very curious, so he quickly stood up and gave up his seat. Li Muxia took up her pen and wrote down the medicinal diet for treating high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol that she had learned in her previous life. It was simply a matter of adding a few more herbs to each dish during cooking.

In her previous life, her grandfather had high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol. She went to study and research treatments for these conditions and eventually decided to use medicinal diets to control them. She also spent time every day taking walks and practicing Tai Chi with her grandfather.

Shangguan Jingye looked at the medicinal diet recipe written by Li Muxia. The ingredients were all very common and the cooking methods were also very ordinary. These ingredients could indeed clear blood vessels and cleanse the stomach and intestines. What he didn't realize was that these ingredients could also lower blood pressure, lower blood lipids, and lower uric acid.

Li Muxia handed the written medicinal diet recipe to Xinzhu, who was waiting beside her, and then obediently stood up and returned the seat to Shangguan Jingye.

The old lady carefully examined the medicinal meal. Although she couldn't understand it, she was relieved to see a braised pork knuckle on the menu. She looked at Li Muxia with a beaming smile and said, "I didn't expect Muxia to be knowledgeable in medicine. May I ask who your teacher is?"

Shangguan Jingye also wanted to know, so he looked at Li Muxia expectantly, waiting for her answer.

Li Muxia quickly replied, "These are all things that Muxia researched herself. But Grandmother, don't worry, Muxia has been eating these medicinal diets herself for over two months now, and the effects are quite good. Do you see how much thinner I am now than before?" As she spoke, she spun around in the same spot.

Li Anran quickly added, "Yes, Grandmother, my sister Xia is amazing! She even helped me improve my health, and now I'm in great shape. Oh, and yesterday she saved a little boy who was choking on a peanut."

Seeing Li Muxia's current condition, the old lady was relieved and happily instructed Xinzhu: "Xinzhu, give this medicinal diet recipe to the kitchen and tell them to cook for me according to the methods in this recipe from now on."

Hearing Li Anran's words, Shangguan Jingye's curiosity about Li Muxia intensified. He knew that hundreds, if not thousands, of children died each year from choking on foreign objects. If Li Muxia truly had a cure, it would be a boon to the world. After reading Li Muxia's description of medicinal diets, he was certain it wasn't just luck; Li Muxia must have a specific treatment method. And he wanted to learn it.
