Methods of protecting blood vessels
Eat some blood vessel "scavenger"
Hawthorn, oat, auricularia auricula, kumquat, eggplant, sweet potato, garlic and onion can dredge blood vessels and keep the elasticity of blood vessel walls.
Vinegar can also soften blood vessels and lower blood lipids. Xu's secret is to eat less dry rice every night, cook some porridge with millet and yellow rice, and add some medlar and jujube to protect blood vessels. 3 do the movement of blood vessels.
The method is: shower alternately with hot and cold water before going to bed every night, with the hot water temperature of 40℃-44℃ and the cold water temperature of 12℃- 16℃. When doing "exercise", it is cold first and then hot, alternating 5- 10 times, lasting 2-3 minutes each time, and finally ending with a hot bath.
This kind of vascular gymnastics can promote blood circulation and "wash away" the garbage in blood vessels in time. In addition, brisk walking is also a good cardiovascular and cerebrovascular exercise, which can enhance muscle endurance and enhance vascular elasticity. Exercise before meals helps blood vessels not get old.
Studies abroad have shown that exercising for half an hour every day, such as walking, cycling, swimming, playing gateball, playing table tennis, jogging, swimming, climbing stairs or climbing mountains, can play a role in reducing weight and blood fat, improving the degree of "rejuvenation" of blood vessels and preventing aging. If you exercise moderately before meals, the effect of protecting blood vessels will be better. Two pieces of dark chocolate a week.
Dark chocolate contains natural antioxidant flavone, which can prevent arteriosclerosis, increase myocardial vitality, relax muscles, and prevent cholesterol from accumulating in blood vessels, and has a certain effect on the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. 6 Drink green tea and red wine
Drink some green tea at home or outside for entertainment, because catechol in it can reduce the content of bad cholesterol in blood, increase the content of good cholesterol, increase the flexibility and elasticity of blood vessels and prevent arteriosclerosis. Or drink more than half a glass (about 100- 150 ml) of red wine every night. It has antioxidant effect. If you drink it four or five times a week, it can soften blood vessels well.
A lifestyle that destroys blood vessels
Nowadays, people often socialize outside, and the dishes in restaurants are often cooked with "high oil, high salt and high sugar" and "thick oil red sauce", which leads to more and more fat in blood vessels and is easy to block blood vessels. 3 day and night upside down, disrupting the biological clock of blood vessels.
Busy city life, more and more people inevitably become "day-and-night people". From the health point of view, the time from 1 1 to 4: 00 am is to ensure the metabolic blood flow of the liver.
When staying up late, not only oneself, but also the biological clock of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will be disrupted, resulting in excessive secretion of adrenaline and norepinephrine in the body, which will cause vasoconstriction, slow blood flow and increase viscosity. People who have been "black and white upside down" for a long time have twice the risk of heart disease than normal people. Four packs of cigarettes a day, blood vessels are easy to "poison"
Smoking is one of the culprits leading to vascular failure. Even in good health, two packs of cigarettes a day will definitely leave toxins on blood vessels, making them fragile day by day.
More than 50 years of research by American scientists shows that smoking more than 20 cigarettes a day will increase the risk of coronary heart disease by 2-3 times. Another study found that smoking when staying up late will increase the blood viscosity by more than 8 times than normal. 5 Less exercise, more blood vessels wasted.
Lower extremity blood vessels are also very important, but they are often ignored by everyone. If there is something wrong with the cerebral vessels, the probability of heart disease is 2-3 times that of normal people, but if there is something wrong with the blood vessels in the lower limbs, the probability will become 4 times.
Normal people's skin has about 600 capillaries per square millimeter, and only 100-200 capillaries are opened at ordinary times. More exercise can open more capillaries and promote blood microcirculation. If you don't exercise for a long time, the garbage in the blood vessels will gradually accumulate, forming an "untimely bomb" of atherosclerotic plaques, which will also affect the blood supply of capillaries and may be detonated at any time. 6 Hypertension and diabetes drag down cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Asymptomatic or uncontrolled hypertension is the trigger of many vascular diseases. The probability of cerebral infarction in hypertensive patients is 4-7 times that of normal people. Hyperglycemia not only involves microvessels, but also leads to macroangiopathy. The incidence of stroke in people with hyperglycemia is 2-3 times higher than that in normal people. 7 bad mood hurts blood vessels.
Swiss experts have recently confirmed that mental stress can lead to intimal contraction and accelerate vascular aging.
