"People and arteries share the same life" means that when the arteries of the human body are constantly hardened and blocked, and the organs (heart and brain) are finally infarcted and necrotic, it is the time when people die.
Human bones can be used for about 200 years, but the average service life of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in China is about 75 years. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases tend to be younger. Many people may be 20 years old in appearance, but the blood vessels in their bodies are 80 years old. To live a long and healthy life, the first task is to make arteries and blood vessels last for several years.
So, how do you judge whether your blood vessels are healthy? You can look at the following seven indicators. The more qualified, the healthier your blood vessels are;
1. Blood pressure does not exceed 140/90mmHg.
2. Total cholesterol should not exceed 6.2 mmol/L.
3. Fasting blood glucose is less than 5.5 mmol/L.
4. HDL cholesterol is also called cholesterol, and good cholesterol should exceed1.3 mmol/L.
5. Triglyceride does not exceed 2.3 mmol/L.
6. Body mass index (BMI) should be between 18.5 and 24.9.
7. Thyroid stimulating hormone should not exceed 4.5 MIU/ L.
There is also a simple way to simply check:
When the palm is closed and clenched for 30 seconds, the blood vessels in the palm will be compressed and the blood system will be blocked, so the open palm is white. Let's wait a while and see how long it takes for the palms to recover their original skin color. From this time, we can roughly judge the health of blood vessels.
If the palm of your hand returns to its original skin color within 10 second, the blood vessels are healthy. If the recovery time exceeds 10 second, there is probably something wrong with the blood vessels, such as arteriosclerosis!
