碘的故事

我非常爱听奶奶讲故事，她经常在茶余饭后或睡觉前给我讲各种各样有趣的故事。

I love to hear stories from Grandma. She often tells me all kinds of interesting stories after tea or before going to bed.

有一次她给我讲了一个她小时候村子里一个病人的事：在我奶奶小的时候，她住在长安县的一个村子里，村里有一个人得了一种病，那个人的颈部突肿起来，越来越大，朝下坠，越坠越长，脸部肌肉被带得朝下掉，最后变得胸前挂着一大块肉，就连那个病人的一只眼睛也被拉长，整个脸都扭曲变形，面目全非。虽然他自己看不见自己的样子，但他很自卑，邻居们看他，那真是太丑，太可怕了，他就因为这常常受到歧视，没人理他，没人和他做朋友。

Once she told me about a patient in her village when she was a child: when my grandmother was a child, she lived in a village in Chang'an County. There was a man in the village who had a disease. The neck of the man swelled up and grew larger and larger, and fell down and grew longer. The muscles of his face were brought down. At last, a large piece of meat hung on his chest, even one of the patient's The eyes are also elongated, and the whole face is distorted and distorted. Although he can't see his own appearance, he has a low self-esteem. His neighbors look at him. It's really ugly and terrible. Because of this, he is often discriminated against. No one pays attention to him or makes friends with him.

听了奶奶讲的故事，我被吓了一大跳，很害怕，问奶奶：“他得的是什么病，为什么会得这种怪病？”奶奶说：“这种怪病叫粗脖子病，是由体内缺碘引起的。”

After listening to my grandmother's story, I was shocked and scared. I asked my grandmother, "what disease did he have and why did he get this strange disease?" "Grandma said:" this strange disease is called thick neck disease, which is caused by iodine deficiency in the body

“那么碘是什么东西呢？”奶奶说：“碘是人体不可缺少 的一种营养素，身体缺碘时，就会出现许多毛病，最常见 的就是甲状腺肿大，即粗脖子病，缺碘也会引起聋、哑、瘫痪，最主要的危害是缺碘影响胎儿的脑发育，导致儿童智力和体格发育障碍。”“如果不打针，不吃药，能不能 预防得这个病呢？” 奶奶说：“当然可以，我们可以从我们的饮食来预防，多吃含碘多的食品，比如说海带、海水鱼等海产品。”“哇！海带呀，不怎么爱吃，看来以后要学着爱吃它，多吃它。还有什么办法呢？”“有啊，我们政府要求老百姓食用加碘食盐就是最好的防治碘缺乏病的 方法。”“怎么样用加碘食盐呢？”“用的方法与普通盐 的一样，要避免高温。炒菜、做汤要出锅时再放碘盐，千万不要用碘盐暴锅。要避免加醋或酸味菜，碘遇酸易破坏分解。”“咱们赶快使用加碘食盐吧。”奶奶笑着说：

“傻孙子，咱们吃的一直是加碘食盐。”“我放心了。”

"Silly grandson, we have been eating iodized salt." "I'm relieved."

为了我们不得碘缺乏病，为了我们身体的健康，让我们多吃海带，食用加碘食盐吧！

Let's eat more kelp and iodized salt for the sake of our health!
