Performance 1: toothache while sleeping.
If my teeth hurt inexplicably when I sleep, and I don't know which one hurts, it's not redness. Then, be alert, it may be a heart problem. Generally speaking, in the case of toothache, if accompanied by chest tightness, breath holding, precordial discomfort and other symptoms, then it is likely that acute myocardial infarction has occurred.
Performance 2: difficulty in falling asleep
Related studies have pointed out that people who are dirty will be directly "awakened" during sleep. About half of the elderly patients will have central sleep apnea, which may even lead to suffocation during sleep. Therefore, if it is often difficult to fall asleep and the quality of sleep is not good, it may indicate that your heart function has problems, or your heart function is beginning to age.
Performance 3: Arm numbness
The nerve of the arm is in phase with the heart, especially the left arm, which is integrated with the heart. If there is something wrong with the heart, the left hand will often feel sore and numb, especially when sleeping at night. If you want a healthier heart, remember: eat less white, make up three more, and remember four words!
Eat less.
1, white salt
Excessive daily salt intake will easily lead to water and sodium retention, which will lead to an increase in blood volume and blood pressure and increase the burden on the heart. In addition, people with bad hearts are prone to atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction if they eat too much salt.
Suggestion: the daily salt intake of each person should be controlled within 6 grams, and that of patients with hypertension should be controlled within 4 grams.
2. Refined sugar
Sugar is a common condiment in our life. It can provide the necessary energy for the human body, but in terms of dosage, it must be measured! If you eat too much sugar, it will not only affect the normal metabolic function of the human body, but also induce diseases such as diabetes, coronary heart disease and heart disease.
Suggestion: The sugar intake per person per day should be controlled within 50 grams, preferably below 25 grams.
Make up three more things
1, magnesium element
Magnesium is an indispensable nutrient for human body and an element beneficial to heart health. Studies have found that magnesium can activate the activities of more than 300 enzymes in the body, promote metabolism, and increase the functions of nerves, muscles and heart. It has the effects of enhancing the elasticity and vitality of blood vessels, effectively stabilizing nerves, and preventing abnormal manifestations such as palpitation, upset and heart dryness.
Food source: millet, amaranth, longan, carambola, etc.
2. Omega -3
Omega-3 fatty acids belong to polyunsaturated fatty acids and are one of the "good" fats, which are helpful to cardiovascular health, protect the heart and reduce the risk of heart disease, depression, dementia and arthritis. The American Heart Association recommends that heart patients take 1 g omega-3 every day. If you have ever had a myocardial infarction, taking a prescribed dose of omega -3 will help protect your heart. Some studies have shown that the survivors of myocardial infarction increase their omega-3 levels, the probability of recurrence of myocardial infarction is lower, and fewer people die of heart disease.
In addition, many experiments show that omega-3 fatty acids can reduce serum total cholesterol (T), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein and very low-density protein, and increase serum high-density lipoprotein, thus reducing the levels of the three and preventing cardiovascular diseases.
Food source: brown perilla oil, brown linseed oil, etc.
Step 3: nuts
Studies have found that nuts can reduce the risk of heart disease, including lowering blood lipid and clearing cholesterol, which helps to protect heart health. It should be noted that eating nuts should be moderate, and it should be kept at about 20-30 grams every day.
Food source: walnut pistachios, chestnuts, sunflower seeds, etc.
Remember four words.
First, have a good sleep.
1, sleep time
Studies have found that people who sleep seven hours a night have the least risk of heart disease. Less than 6 hours or more than 10 hours will increase the risk of heart disease! Therefore, if you want to have a good heart, you can't sleep more or less.
2. Take a nap to nourish your heart
The heart is located in the chest, which is the yang position and the main pulse; Its work consumes energy. At noon, when the yang is strong, it needs to rest to nourish yin and achieve the purpose of reconciling the yang. Therefore, there has been a saying that taking a nap to nourish the heart since ancient times. Therefore, if conditions permit, taking a nap every day is also good for the heart!
Second, get moving.
1, wrist rub
Above the hand's horizontal stripes, there is an acupoint: Neiguan. Rubbing this acupoint often is good for cardiovascular diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Neiguan point has the functions of calming the heart, calming the nerves, regulating qi and relieving pain; It can strengthen the heart, regulate the heart rate, improve sleep, chest tightness and relieve stress.
On tiptoe
As the saying goes, the foot is the second heart of the human body. Proper movement of the soles of the feet can play the role of "protecting the heart". Stimulate the meridian points on the feet and the reflex areas of various parts of the body through tiptoe. Daily tiptoe also helps to improve the symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort in some patients with coronary heart disease.
