How to protect cardiovascular diseases?
It is mentioned in the China Cardiovascular Disease Report 20 10 recently that the number of patients with cardiovascular diseases including coronary heart disease, stroke, heart failure and hypertension in China has reached 230 million, which is undoubtedly an amazing number. If you want to stay away from cardiovascular diseases, you must have three "self-defense secrets".
Tip 1: Quit smoking resolutely and drink moderately.
You must give up smoking, but you can drink less in moderation. Excessive drinking is not conducive to physical and mental health, but a small amount of drinking can relieve stress, relax mood, appropriately increase heart movement and exercise cardiovascular function. Proper drinking in the elderly can promote body circulation and accelerate metabolism, but friends with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems should pay attention to restrictions to prevent cardiovascular damage caused by excessive drinking. In addition, China people have many problems in drinking, such as drinking together and persuading them to drink enough to be happy, which will do great harm to the cardiovascular system and easily lead to other dangerous and fatal factors, such as cerebral hemorrhage and sudden cardiac death. Therefore, the most important thing to drink is to control, remember: small wine is good for feelings, and big wine is harmful to the body, enough is enough.
In addition, many people mistakenly think that drinking can lower blood pressure, but it is not. This is because alcohol has a temporary cardiovascular anesthetic effect. After drinking, transient blood vessels will relax and make blood pressure drop that day, but it may continue to be high in the next few days, which is very dangerous. If you are a friend with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, you must follow the doctor's advice and reduce drinking, limit drinking or give up drinking completely according to your own situation.
Tip 2: Don't stay up late.
Some friends like to work overtime at night, thinking it is efficient, but often staying up late will cause insufficient sleep. In the long run, they will feel poor mental state, which will also lead to decreased immunity, accelerated heartbeat and even increased blood pressure. So, when you work at night, do it quickly and try not to delay. In the morning, you will go to bed whether the work at hand is finished or not. You'd rather get up at 5 a.m. and continue to work, and sleep between 0 and 5 a.m. It's best to rest at noon, about a quarter of an hour is just right. When you sleep, make sure that you have no distractions and concentrate on rest.
Tip 3: Balance your mind.
Many people are in their forties and fifties and are at the peak of their careers. They will inevitably have a lot of troubles, but they must learn to let nature take its course. As long as you have a good attitude and little stress, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will gradually leave you.
Symptomatic manifestations of cardiovascular diseases
1, exercise-induced dyspnea: Normal people also feel dyspnea during strenuous exercise, and recover quickly after stopping exercise. Patients with heart disease have the symptoms of normal people without dyspnea, and their recovery is slow or even absent.
2, sitting breathing: patients can not lie flat or lie flat for a long time, but can recline or even sit, and both lower limbs are suspended in bed.
3, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea: also known as "cardiogenic asthma"; To distinguish it from asthma caused by lung diseases. In addition to the above two mechanisms, the sensitivity of respiratory center decreases after falling asleep, and pulmonary congestion causes a certain degree of obvious hypoxia, which makes patients feel abnormal breathing when they wake up from sleep.
4. Acute pulmonary edema: It is a serious type of dyspnea, which can affect the life of patients and needs urgent treatment. The patient showed extreme dyspnea, sitting breathing, obvious hypoxia and coughing pink foam-like sputum.
5, cyanosis is a sign: refers to the mucous membrane and skin are blue-purple. In vivo, the decreased hemoglobin and cardiovascular disease protein exceeded 5g%. The mechanism of cyanosis is hypoxia, excessive hemoglobin and blood stasis. There are two kinds: central type and peripheral type.
6. Vertigo: it is a sensory obstacle of orientation or balance in the spatial relationship of human body, which makes patients feel that the surrounding scenery or themselves are rotating and shaking. Vertigo attacks are often accompanied by symptoms of autonomic nervous dysfunction, such as imbalance, unstable standing, nausea, vomiting, pale face, sweating, bradycardia, and decreased blood pressure.
Five taboos of cardiovascular disease diet
1, avoid high sugar. Sugar is the first source of human body's heat, but if the intake of sugar is too much, it will be converted into fat and stored in the body, which is easy to gain weight and easily lead to the increase of blood lipids. It is the chief culprit of cardiovascular diseases, which will destroy the elasticity of blood vessels and the health of blood vessel walls and aggravate the development of diseases.
2, avoid high potassium. Most patients with cardiovascular diseases have to take medicine. If you take potassium-preserving diuretics, you should reduce the intake of foods with high potassium content in your diet to avoid hyperkalemia.
3, avoid excessive drinking. For patients with cardiovascular diseases, it is good to drink some red wine in moderation, but don't drink too much, or drink too much often, which is not only bad for your health, but also increases the burden on your heart and even induces acute heart attack and myocardial infarction.
4, avoid high fat. Patients with cardiovascular diseases are accompanied by hyperlipidemia and hypertension in most cities. Therefore, we must reduce the intake of high-fat foods and limit the intake of high-fat and high-cholesterol foods, especially foods that are not suitable for eating, such as animal fat, animal offal and egg yolk. Not only will it weaken the role of drugs in regulating blood lipid and reduce the curative effect, but it will also exceed the therapeutic effect of drugs and further aggravate the condition.
5, avoid high salt. Patients with cardiovascular diseases must control their salt intake. Excessive salt intake will cause water and sodium retention in the body, increase the burden on the heart, and may induce cardiac insufficiency. At the same time, it will also cause small blood vessels to contract and aggravate high blood pressure. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents occurred.
What should cardiovascular patients eat?
corn
Corn is rich in fat, and the content of unsaturated fatty acids, especially linoleic acid, in its fat is as high as 60% or more. It is helpful to the normal metabolism of human fat and cholesterol, and can reduce the deposition of cholesterol in blood vessels, thus softening arterial blood vessels.
tomato
Not only the content of various vitamins is 24 times higher than that of apples and pears, but also it contains vitamin rutin, which can improve the oxidation ability of the body, eliminate free radicals and other wastes in the body, protect the elasticity of blood vessels and prevent thrombosis.
apple
Apples are rich in polysaccharides, fruit acids, flavonoids, potassium, vitamins E and C, which can decompose accumulated fat and have obvious effects on delaying and preventing the occurrence of atherosclerosis.
Giant algae
Kelp is rich in fucoidan and laminin and has heparin-like activity, which can not only prevent thrombosis, but also reduce cholesterol and lipoprotein and inhibit atherosclerosis.
tea grounds
Contains tea polyphenols, which can improve the body's antioxidant capacity, reduce blood lipid, relieve hypercoagulability, enhance the elasticity of red blood cells, and alleviate or delay atherosclerosis. Drinking tea often can soften arterial blood vessels.
