Hello everyone! I am Fu Dad, a medical practitioner, who has been focusing on weight management and nutritional treatment of diseases for more than 20 years. I hope my article is useful to you. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are the most common problems in the heart and brain, and now they have become the first killer of human health. The main cause of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is atherosclerosis. Estrogen can slow down the development of atherosclerosis, so it can protect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, so before menopause, the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in women is far lower than that in men. However, after menopause, the situation has changed, the level of estrogen has dropped rapidly, and the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in women has increased rapidly, even reaching the same level as that in men. Therefore, women should pay special attention to the maintenance of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases after menopause. Paying attention to these points in diet is very helpful for women to prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. 1, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables? Fresh vegetables and fruits are rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, calcium, magnesium, potassium and other minerals beneficial to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. There are many kinds of plant compounds in vegetables and fruits, which have strong antioxidant effect and are of great help to protect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and reduce cholesterol. Make sure to eat one catty of fresh vegetables and half a catty of fruit every day. 2. Bean products? Bean products not only contain high-quality plant protein, but also contain many beneficial plant compounds, which is of great significance to the health of postmenopausal women. Soybean isoflavone is known as phytoestrogen, and the estrogen level of postmenopausal women is low. Soybean isoflavone has estrogen-like effect, which can protect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and prevent osteoporosis. Soybean lecithin can also promote brain health and protect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Postmenopausal women can eat more soy products, such as soybean milk, dried fragrant bean curd, yuba, etc. 3. Foods containing more unsaturated fatty acids? Unsaturated fatty acids have a certain protective effect on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and replacing saturated fatty acids with appropriate unsaturated fatty acids can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Postmenopausal women should eat nuts and fatty fish, such as tuna, salmon and herring. 4. coarse grains and miscellaneous grains? Coarse grains are rich in dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals, and their glycemic index is low, which helps to lower cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein, improve the proportion of intestinal flora and maintain cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health. In addition to diet, postmenopausal women should maintain a good attitude, exercise regularly and live a regular life, which can effectively protect their hearts and brains.
