In China, there are about 290 million patients. If subdivided, stroke patients130,000, congenital heart disease patients 2 million, heart failure patients 4.5 million, coronary heart disease patients1100,000, hypertension patients 245 million. From these data, we can find that cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are not uncommon, and many relatives and friends around everyone may suffer from this disease.
The risk factors of cardiovascular diseases are hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking, diabetes, overweight and obesity, insufficient physical activity, air pollution, unreasonable diet and so on. At first glance, these aspects are red lines that we may touch in our daily life. How many people will pay attention to these issues? If they do this, the probability of cardiovascular disease will be greatly reduced.
(1) Hypertension, regardless of age, even children have hypertension. Once it exceeds the normal value, it will be implicated in the attack of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases, and the treatment process is quite troublesome. It is not once and for all through one treatment, and sometimes it is combined with other treatments to reduce hypertension and cardiovascular diseases.
② Smoking. Most men and a few women have the habit of smoking. They may say that they need to smoke because they are stressed. In addition, second-hand smoke is more harmful than first-hand smoke. Many men smoke in public, which is very harmful to others. Therefore, the appeal calls for not smoking in public places, especially women with children.
Overweight and obesity, many people like to eat fried food and sweets, both of which are important factors leading to obesity. Lack of exercise and fat accumulation in the body will cause great pressure on the cardiovascular system in the long run.
(4) diabetes. Diabetic patients who use drugs to treat and control diabetes, but rarely use drugs to protect cardiovascular diseases, may suffer from cardiovascular diseases.
Lack of physical activity is what we often call irregular exercise. Most of us are busy at work at ordinary times, and may often work overtime on weekdays, so we have no time to exercise. Over time, our physical function will be reduced and cardiovascular diseases will be born.
Perhaps the answer in many people's minds is yes, and in previous media reports, they will find that eating more fish oil has many benefits to their health and may have certain effects, but they will feel different after careful study. An American newspaper reported that it is not reliable to eat fish oil to prevent cardiovascular disease.
Theoretically, fish oil can protect the cardiovascular system, because it contains two kinds of rich omega-3 fatty acids, one is docosahexaenoic acid and the other is eicosapentaenoic acid, which can prevent thrombosis, anticoagulate and relieve atherosclerosis. Although fish oil has become a dietary supplement, many people often eat fish oil, but in related clinical trials, scholars have not found that fish oil can reduce heart disease and stroke.
People's worship of fish oil can be traced back to last century. In the last century, some scientists found in Greenland that people living here seldom suffer from cardiovascular diseases, probably because they often eat fish in the surrounding waters. However, later scholars found that the reason for their low cardiovascular disease may not be determined by this aspect, but it may be because human genes or living environment are playing a role, but the composition of fish oil is exaggerated, resulting in the phenomenon that the market is in short supply.
If eating fish oil can reduce cardiovascular diseases, it is better to eat more fish. Fish oil has a fishy smell, and most people can't accept the smell of fish oil. Many people are very repulsive, but what if they eat a lot of omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids? You can eat more fish or other foods. Their omega-3 unsaturated fatty acid content is not lower than fish oil, and they taste good.
Since we talk about fish, we should also talk about diet. We divide nuts, fruits, milk and beans into four categories and tell you which foods in these three categories are good for our health.
(1) fruits, to prevent cardiovascular diseases, you can eat some fruits with high potassium content, such as oranges, cherries and bananas. Many families like to eat high-salt food, so it is enough to decide the salty taste, which is actually very harmful to the body. Taking foods with high potassium content has obvious antihypertensive effect.
⑵ Defatted yogurt is mellow and rich in calcium and potassium. Many people like to eat yogurt, not only because it is good for losing weight, but also for lowering blood pressure. It is a delicious food with multiple functions.
(3) Beans, edible soybeans mostly contain a lot of high-quality protein, which can lower the serum cholesterol level in human body. You can also eat tofu, which is also rich in protein. In addition, there are minerals, polyunsaturated fatty acids and dietary fiber, which are delicious and nutritious.
(4) Nuts, friends who can't stop eating snacks can see that nuts contain omega-3 fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids that are not lost to fish oil. Eating more can reduce the inflammatory reaction of coronary artery, and it is enough to eat one every day, but if it exceeds the degree, it is not good for your health.
Conclusion: Many people have heard that fish oil can prevent cardiovascular diseases, so they go to the market to grab fish oil and eat a lot of fish oil every day. To tell the truth, if you really want to be healthy, you can't just pin your hopes on a certain kind of food, soak it in rain and dew, and improve everything, so that diseases will naturally not come to us. These foods and methods mentioned above are worth trying. If you stick to them, you will definitely see yourself differently.
