Hello, there are many topics about physical therapy knowledge of middle-aged and elderly people. But how to keep the heart healthy has become a topic of concern to most middle-aged and elderly people. I will share an article on health preservation with you. The following eight lifestyles will be very beneficial for middle-aged and elderly friends to keep their hearts healthy. Eight Lifestyles for Keeping the Heart Healthy of Middle-aged and Old People —— (Excerpted from Jindaosui Financial Insurance Network) 1. Sleep at least seven hours a day, and up to eight hours if necessary. Too little sleep will cause metabolic changes and increase the risk of obesity and diabetes. In both cases, the risk of heart disease will also increase. Moreover, a recent study by the University of Chicago also shows that adults who sleep too little every night will lead to increased calcium deposition in the arteries. 2. Know your blood pressure. We know that hypertension is the chief culprit of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. We usually think that it is normal to keep blood pressure in the range of120/80 ~130/85 mmhg. In fact, if you can lower your blood pressure from 130/85 to 1 15/76, it means that your body is young 10 years old. At present, there is no data showing that taking drugs to lower blood pressure can achieve the effect of making people younger. It is still recommended to exercise to lose weight and decompress, and the benefits of physical activity are often immediate. 3. Avoid exposure to second-hand smoke. Don't let others smoke in your room. Passive smoking for an hour is equivalent to smoking two to four cigarettes. Walk for half an hour every day. A study by Harvard University shows that for every extra hour of exercise in a person's life, his life expectancy will increase by two hours. Regular exercise every day contributes to the pumping function of the heart and anti-aging. 5. Eating fish three times a week advocates eating more fish not only because omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil are beneficial to the heart and arteries, but also because a large number of animal studies show that protein in fish meat plays an important role in cardiovascular health. If you don't like seafood, eating 30 grams of walnuts every day can also provide omega-3 fatty acids for your body. 6. Take half an aspirin every day. In recent years, a large number of studies have shown that low-dose aspirin can help prevent heart disease and cancer in women, but the most convincing evidence is that aspirin can reduce the occurrence of stroke. For middle-aged and elderly people over 40 years old, it is recommended to take 150 mg every day and drink half a glass of water before and after taking the medicine to reduce the irritation of the medicine to the stomach. 7. Reducing life stress Chronic stress not only affects sleep, but also is bad for cardiovascular health, so it is very important to learn to decompress yourself. 8. Controlling chronic infection can increase the risk of heart attack by stimulating the body to fight bleeding. Chronic oral infectious diseases are also one of the risk factors leading to cardiovascular diseases. I wish you good health and a happy life. Source of this article:/blog/11706.html.
