Blood vessels play a vital role in the body and are the main channels for biological transport of blood. Once the blood vessels are narrowed or blocked, a series of symptoms can be induced and even life-threatening. Regardless of whether it is young or middle-aged, blood vessels must be protected to maintain unobstructed patency. How does
protect blood vessels?
1, maintain a regular schedule
have at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep a day, get up on time, fall asleep on time, and maintain the normal operation of the biological clock. Staying up all night can disrupt the biological clock and disrupt the normal cardiovascular function. At the same time, the secretion of hormones in the body is abnormal, causing abnormal vasoconstriction and increased blood pressure, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
2. Do more exercise.
exercise can speed up blood circulation throughout the body, help lose weight and eliminate fat, maintain blood vessel elasticity, and prevent blood vessel hardening and aging. Have at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise every day for 4 to 5 days a week. Do not sit or stand for long periods of time. You need to stand up for 10-15 minutes every hour of sitting, such as stretching your waist or doing leg lifts.
3. Adjust your diet
to control salt, sugar, fat and oil intake, because the above foods will accumulate too much garbage and toxins in the blood vessels, which will increase the risk of thrombosis over time. A high-salt diet can cause high blood pressure, reduce vascular permeability, make electrolyte imbalance, and cause vascular abnormalities. Therefore, keep a light diet and eat more foods that can dredge blood vessels, such as eggplant, oatmeal or hawthorn, which can maintain blood vessel elasticity. You can drink a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast every day. Oatmeal contains a lot of dietary fiber, which can lower cholesterol and blood fat, help control weight, and regulate gastrointestinal function.
4, do a good job of emotional training
under long-term mental stress, it can cause vascular endothelial dysfunction, resulting in damage to vascular expansion, affecting blood circulation, and leading to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. So adjust your emotions, face gains and losses correctly, and accept everything with a broad mind.
5, quit smoking
Smoking is a high-risk factor that causes vascular abnormalities. Tobacco contains a large amount of nicotine, carbon monoxide and tar, which will reduce the oxygen content in the blood vessels, cause myocardial ischemia, and induce various vascular diseases and accelerate the development of arteriosclerosis , So you must quit smoking.
Warm reminder that
excess energy and obesity are risk factors for vascular aging and hardening, so weight must be controlled. Eat no more than 6 grams of salt per day, and eat more whole-grain vegetables and fruits. Appropriate physical exercise can improve blood pressure, blood lipids and blood glucose metabolism indicators, promote blood circulation throughout the body, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and vascular sclerosis. All people with high uric acid, high blood sugar, high blood pressure and high blood lipids must actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment, and cannot stop and change the medicine suddenly. In addition, blood lipids and blood pressure levels must be checked regularly.
