Can soften blood vessels

Reversing the damage caused by atherosclerosis

Is it really so amazing?

Blood vessels, can they really soften?

Atherosclerosis can be said to be a "common disease" of middle-aged and elderly people.

The main cause of atherosclerosis is dyslipidemia. Lipids such as low-density lipoprotein in blood are deposited under the intima of blood vessels, and then further fibrosis and calcification become atherosclerotic plaques.

With the accumulation of these plaques, blood vessels will narrow, harden and become brittle. ...

Moreover, because these plaques are deposited in the blood vessel wall, it is difficult for blood to take them away, and the damage to blood vessels is almost irreversible.

Therefore, it is difficult to "soften" after arteriosclerosis, and it can only prevent and control the progress of arteriosclerosis.

Food that softens blood vessels, don't believe it!

In life, there are many rumors that some foods or health products can "soften" blood vessels, but in fact their functions are very limited.

Can vinegar soften blood vessels?

The saying that vinegar can soften blood vessels is probably because arterial plaque contains a certain amount of calcium, and acidic vinegar can dissolve a certain amount of calcium, so this rumor has arisen.

Oral vinegar will not let vinegar enter the blood, nor will it change the pH of the blood. Moreover, the pH of human blood is basically constant. Excessive acid or alkali may cause poisoning symptoms and endanger life.

Drinking too much vinegar may also lead to many adverse problems such as hyperacidity and digestive tract burns, which is not worth the candle.

Can vegetables soften blood vessels?

Some people think that eating vegetables such as onions, garlic and fungus can help soften blood vessels.

But in fact, these vegetables are only proved to have the function of regulating blood lipids, and there is no way to soften and eliminate the already formed atherosclerotic plaques.

Moreover, the amount of vegetables we eat in our daily diet alone may even have a limited effect on lowering blood fat.

Can health care products soften blood vessels?

Some merchants claim that health products such as lecithin and deep-sea fish oil can "soften" blood vessels.

However, most of these health products are only unsaturated fatty acids, which can help the body balance lipid metabolism at most, and can neither cure diseases nor dissolve and soften the already formed arterial plaques.

It can be said that in the face of atherosclerosis, we need prevention and control more.

If you want blood vessel health, just do it!

Eat healthily and avoid obesity.

Healthy eating is actually very simple, ensuring that the staple food of each meal is appropriate and the meat and vegetables are matched. Pay attention to cooking methods: cook more, fry less, oil less, salt less and sugar less.

When you reach middle age, you should start to pay attention to your weight. Once obesity is found, it should be controlled in time to avoid the influence of obesity on lipid metabolism.

Active exercise

Exercise can help us consume excess fat in the body and reduce the metabolic burden; At the same time, exercise can accelerate blood circulation, and bad lipids are not easy to deposit in the blood.

Middle-aged and elderly people mainly take aerobic exercise such as running and walking, and it is advisable to have a fever and slight sweat for 30 minutes without feeling tired.

Periodic inspection

It is best for middle-aged and elderly people to check their blood pressure, blood lipid and blood glucose regularly, and strictly control their blood pressure, blood glucose and blood lipid levels according to the doctor's advice.

At the doctor's suggestion, you can also check the color Doppler ultrasound and angiography regularly to ensure the health of blood vessels.
