In summer, the high temperature and humidity disturb the mind, making people irritable and fidgety. At this time, human metabolism is accelerated, blood circulation is accelerated, and the corresponding heart burden is aggravated.
For patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, blood vessels dilate at this time, and the amount of blood returning to the heart is greatly reduced. Coupled with emotional instability, drinking less water and other reasons, it is easy to induce myocardial ischemia, leading to the recurrence and aggravation of coronary heart disease such as myocardial infarction and angina pectoris. People with fragile cerebrovascular diseases are at greater risk of cerebrovascular rupture from summer to around.
Tips for nourishing the heart: one sleep, two melons, three soups, four points and five fruits.
Take a nap in the middle of the day.
The survey shows that people who take a nap for half an hour every day have a lower mortality rate of coronary heart disease than those who don't sleep. The reason is related to the decrease of blood pressure and the slowdown of heart rate during nap, and to the low peak of blood pressure during the day. However, the nap time should not be too long, usually half an hour to an hour is enough.
