What can you drink to make your heart healthier?

The heart is the power of the human circulatory system, which promotes blood flow, provides sufficient blood flow for organs and tissues, supplies oxygen and various nutrients, takes away the end products of metabolism, such as carbon dioxide, urea and uric acid, and maintains the normal metabolism and function of cells.

In a word, the heart plays an important role in our life. But at the same time, the heart is also fragile. Coronary heart disease, cardiac insufficiency and arrhythmia caused by unhealthy heart will cause about 540 thousand deaths every year.

1, accompanied by vascular "scavenger"

Eight kinds of ingredients, such as oat, sweet potato, auricularia auricula, eggplant, onion, garlic, hawthorn and kumquat, are most beneficial to dredge blood vessels and maintain their elasticity. Proper consumption of vinegar also helps to soften blood vessels and reduce blood lipids.

2. Take 10,000 steps every day and persevere.

"Running water does not rot, and household use does not die", life lies in exercise. Long-term continuous exercise can obviously improve the vascular function of cardiovascular patients and prevent the recurrence of myocardial infarction.

Hu Dayi himself has always insisted on walking 10,000 steps every day, even when visiting the medical team on the Ali Plateau in Tibet.

3. Drink more green tea and limit alcohol consumption.

Catechols in green tea can reduce the content of bad cholesterol in blood, enhance the flexibility and elasticity of blood vessels and prevent arteriosclerosis.

There is a lot of controversy about drinking to protect the heart. On the contrary, the disadvantages of heavy drinking are obvious: high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia and even atrial fibrillation.

How to reduce the risk of heart disease?

1, swimming

Ge Junbo believes that hypertension, diabetes, smoking and dyslipidemia are risk factors of coronary heart disease, so regular exercise, diet control and good weight and body shape can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease to some extent.

So he always insists on swimming, which is good for heart and lung function. Backstroke and breaststroke get up about half an hour before going to work.

If you already have cardiovascular disease, please exercise under the guidance of a doctor!

2, reading a book

Tension, anxiety and stress will destroy the microcirculation of blood vessels. Ge Junbo likes reading books in his spare time to relax and calm his mind.

3. Oil restrictions

Wash away greasy vegetables with boiling water and eat no more than two ounces of meat a day. Eat vegetables first, then meat.

Step 4 control your weight

Eating less is very important to protect the heart. If you must eat, eat less if you can.
