With the growth of people's age, the organs of the body will gradually age, and the cardiovascular system will inevitably have functional degradation and arteriosclerosis, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. Human activities and external environmental factors may accelerate the development of this process, so we need to slow down the cardiovascular degradation process as much as possible, and we must pay attention to cardiovascular maintenance in our daily life. We put forward the following four suggestions:
1. Develop good living habits
Good living habits are not only beneficial to the cardiovascular system, but also beneficial to other organ systems of the body. In terms of diet, high-fat, high-salt and high-sugar diet will lead to the increase of blood pressure, blood lipid and blood sugar, which will easily damage vascular endothelium and cause the formation of vascular plaques. So try to have a light diet, low salt, low sugar and low fat, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Smoking and drinking will also accelerate arteriosclerosis, so quit smoking and limit alcohol. Usually pay attention to avoid staying up late and develop the habit of going to bed early and getting up early. In addition, obesity is also one of the important factors leading to cardiovascular damage, so overweight people should pay attention to losing weight.
2. Insist on regular exercise
Exercise can speed up the heart rate, accelerate blood circulation, increase the vitality of myocardial cells and enhance the pumping function of the heart. At the same time, it also speeds up the removal of lipids, vascular garbage and other substances in blood vessels, prevents these harmful substances from staying on the blood vessel wall for a long time to form plaques, and effectively prevents cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, people who insist on regular exercise for a long time have a relatively long life.
Keep a good attitude
Emotional changes can cause changes in endocrine hormones in the body, and frequent excitement and irritability can increase the release of glucose-raising and pressor hormones such as dopamine and adrenaline, thus causing vasoconstriction and hypertension. Therefore, maintaining a positive and optimistic attitude, avoiding abnormal hormone secretion in the body and maintaining stable blood pressure can also prevent cardiovascular diseases and maintain cardiovascular vitality.
4. Regular physical examination.
Why is regular physical examination one of the measures to maintain the cardiovascular system? Because with the gradual aging of the human body, the cardiovascular system will also undergo physiological degradation, and the more likely it is to have problems. Regular physical examination can find cardiovascular diseases as early as possible, so as to intervene in time and prevent the aggravation of the disease, so it can also play a role in maintaining cardiovascular diseases.
Generally speaking, cardiovascular care is to minimize the harmful factors that damage the cardiovascular system, increase the favorable factors, delay the pace of cardiovascular aging, and prevent the occurrence of lesions.
