In order to prevent premature aging of blood vessels, we should eat more foods that clean and protect blood vessels in peacetime. The following eight foods have a good effect on dredging and cleaning blood vessels and preventing arteriosclerosis.
Apple: Apple is rich in polysaccharide, fruit acid, flavonoids, potassium, vitamins E and C, which can decompose the accumulated fat in the body and have obvious effects on delaying and preventing the occurrence of atherosclerosis.
Kelp: Kelp is rich in fucoidan and laminin, both of which have heparin-like activity, which can not only prevent thrombosis, but also reduce cholesterol and lipoprotein and inhibit atherosclerosis.
Corn: Corn is rich in fat, and the content of unsaturated fatty acids, especially linoleic acid, is as high as 60% or more. It is helpful to the normal metabolism of human fat and cholesterol, and can reduce the deposition of cholesterol in blood vessels, thus softening arterial blood vessels.
Eggplant: contains more vitamin P, which can enhance the elasticity of capillaries, so it has a certain effect on preventing hypertension and atherosclerosis.
Tomatoes: Not only are the contents of various vitamins 2-4 times higher than those of apples and pears, but they also contain vitamin rutin, which can improve the oxidation capacity of the body, eliminate free radicals and other wastes in the body, protect the elasticity of blood vessels and prevent thrombosis.
Garlic: contains volatile capsaicin, which can eliminate the fat accumulated in blood vessels and has obvious lipid-lowering effect. It is a good medicine for treating hyperlipidemia and arteriosclerosis.
Tea: contains tea polyphenols, which can improve the body's antioxidant capacity, reduce blood lipids, relieve hypercoagulability, enhance the elasticity of red blood cells, and alleviate or delay atherosclerosis. Drinking tea often can soften arterial blood vessels.
Onion: It contains prostaglandin A, which has a strong vasodilating effect. It can relax blood vessels, reduce blood viscosity and reduce blood pressure. At the same time, onion also contains diallyl disulfide and sulfur-containing amino acids, which can enhance fibrinolytic activity, reduce blood lipid and resist arteriosclerosis. Dredge blood vessels and make them more unobstructed.
Besides improving your diet, you should also use your brain regularly and exercise your brain cells regularly, which is also a good way to prevent Alzheimer's disease.
