Blood circulation dominates health.

Text/Liu Huimin

Fatigue, physical discomfort and cold hands and feet are generally considered to be caused by "poor blood circulation". In fact, there are many reasons for poor blood circulation, besides aging, it also includes inflammation in the body and insufficient oxygen content in the blood. It may even cause diseases. Therefore, when the blood is purified, the blood circulation will be smooth and the disease can be prevented; When you are healthy, you can stay young forever and live longer.

Poor blood circulation and many diseases.

It is very appropriate to compare blood vessels to "rivers". If the river is crystal clear, it will not clog and stink, causing great disaster. Kang Hongming, chief physician of the Family Medicine Department of Shu Tian Clinic, said, "This shows the importance of blood in transporting nutrients and detoxifying metabolism. Blood vessel is an important transportation pipeline, and blood is responsible for transporting oxygen, nutrients and hormones, and recycling carbon dioxide and waste generated by metabolism. Antibodies and white blood cells in blood can destroy invading bacteria and viruses, and coagulation of platelets can cure trauma and have the function of regulating balance.

Blood purification is a popular saying. Scraping and bloodletting in folk therapy is often to improve the so-called blood turbidity and qi and blood circulation. Kang Hongming said that in medical definition, some people think that "blood turbidity" is close to cholesterol and blood lipids are too high. If blood or blood donation is centrifuged, even a layer of oil and plasma appears turbid milky white, which is called "chyluria". It may be that the dietary fat content before blood donation is high, or it may be that the lipid decomposition function is insufficient for a long time. Too much oil and alcohol will make chyle particles accumulate in the blood.

However, Kang Hongming believes that the concept of "turbid blood" is more like an increase in blood viscosity. When the blood viscosity increases, red blood cells can be seen to gather together, instead of being distinct, that is, the blood concentration is high and the blood flow is slow. Usually, the increase of blood viscosity reflects the inflammatory mediators in the body and makes blood cells adsorb each other. Related tests, such as C-reactive protein and fibrinogen. It is well known that blood cells become thicker due to the widespread existence and increase of inflammatory substances, which is called blood turbidity.

Inflammation usually leads to arteriosclerosis, heart disease and stroke.

"Inflammation is the root of almost all diseases. Inflammation was originally the body's immune defense mechanism against diseases, but because the immune mechanism in the body is out of control and attacks normal cells, wars are everywhere in the body. Many studies have pointed out that long-term chronic inflammation is closely related to important diseases such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and obesity. Angiosclerosis is one of the most common inflammatory reactions, and other diseases, such as high blood cholesterol and blood lipids, are also easy to cause heart disease and stroke.

Studies have found that if the inflammatory index in the blood is too high, the probability of heart disease will greatly increase, because chronic inflammation will destroy the endothelial tissue of healthy blood vessels, damage the cardiovascular system, cause coronary artery occlusion, and damage the cerebrovascular and nerve cells, which may cause Alzheimer's disease. In recent years, it has been found that diabetic patients not only have insulin imbalance and hyperglycemia, but also have chronic inflammatory reaction. In addition, free radicals produced by chronic inflammation can cause cell mutation and increase the risk of cancer, such as liver cancer and cervical cancer.

Inflammatory mediators are ubiquitous, which may also cause osteoarthritis, fatty liver, Alzheimer's disease, and may also affect gastrointestinal health. 50% of immune cells and autonomic nerves in human body are located in gastrointestinal tract. When inflammatory mediators cause "intestinal leakage", that is, the healthy mucosa of the small intestine is destroyed, "loopholes and gaps" will appear. The discharged wastes and toxins will be absorbed into the blood, causing immune problems, dysfunction or diseases, and may also cause allergic reactions, including general malaise, fatigue, emotional instability, insomnia, headache and so on.

Inflammation of the body can also make the blood sticky, leading to "dirty and unclean" and easy to cause diseases. Another state of congestion may be that the concentration of venous oxygenated blood is getting higher and higher, which will lead to the darkening of blood color, and lactic acid will accumulate because the blood does not circulate. Therefore, the body is prone to soreness, discomfort or various sub-health problems, that is, it has not yet developed but is not completely healthy.

Anti-inflammatory, clear blood, don't get sick, stay young!

No matter from the angle of inflammatory reaction or venous blood oxygen concentration, the so-called "blood purification" is to reduce the inflammatory reaction in the body or maintain the venous blood oxygen concentration to be normal, which is an important key to prevent diseases and improve physical discomfort. Because people are healthy and good-looking, they feel younger from the inside out.

In order to reduce inflammation or improve local circulation, we need to start with a healthy diet, a normal routine and regular exercise. Kang Hongming emphasized that practicing a healthy lifestyle, not getting sick, slowing down stiff muscles and improving peripheral blood circulation are all important means to keep people young forever.
