So, how to effectively prevent this disease, so that the carotid artery is no longer troubled by plaque? In fact, we only need to do three things well to stay away from plaque and make our cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases healthier.
1. Pay attention to a low-fat diet.
Diet is the most easily associated with vascular health. Many people don't pay much attention to the diet of three meals a day, which will eventually bring trouble to the body. Blood in blood vessels is an important carrier for transporting nutrients. The food we eat every day, including lipids and glucose, needs to be transported through the blood.
The transport capacity of blood is limited, and not all nutrients can be completely absorbed, so in this process, some blood lipids will inevitably be deposited in blood vessels, which will eventually lead to vascular stenosis.
Carotid plaque is no exception. Under this stimulus, plaques may grow from scratch, from small to large, and eventually pose a threat to your blood vessel health. Therefore, paying attention to a low-fat diet is actually taking care of your vascular health.
2. Pay attention to moderate exercise
Exercise is not to build a perfect figure, sometimes it is to consume excess energy. As we all know, our body needs to consume energy every day, which will not be fully digested and metabolized by our body, so some energy will be converted into fat when it is absorbed and stored by our body for a rainy day.
However, the body is a very smart whole, and it will never consume the accumulated fat unless it is absolutely necessary. So how to consume it? Exercise is the best way. Exercise can help the human body to metabolize excess fat, reduce the deposition of blood lipids, and also have a good preventive effect on atherosclerosis and plaque. Therefore, no matter how busy you are, exercise every day and keep exercising for an hour every day. After a long time, you will naturally feel the benefits.
3. Develop regular living habits
Why is work and rest related to carotid atherosclerosis? This is because human blood vessels are inextricably linked with hormones. If the secretion of hormones is unstable, which leads to abnormal fluctuations, blood vessels can also be damaged, and lipid metabolism is the main culprit, because lipids will be affected by hormones. If the hormone is abnormal, then the lipid metabolism will be abnormal.
Therefore, developing a regular routine every day is actually adding points to your endocrine regulation. Staying up late, working overtime and irregular work and rest will lead to endocrine disorders and affect the body's lipid metabolism. Therefore, for the sake of your physical and mental health, I suggest that you never skimp on rest time in your daily life. When it's time to rest, you must learn to rest, so as not to have adverse effects on your body.
Of course, in addition to the above three points, we also need to have a good attitude in our daily life. With a good attitude, everything will be smooth, our body and mind will be healthy, and problems such as carotid atherosclerosis are unlikely to appear.
