The human body consists of various tissues, organs and blood vessels. There are soft places and hard places. For example, bones and nails are hard, while hair and skin are soft. If you want to talk about life span, I think the most likely places are blood vessels and liver.
First, the blood vessels should be soft. The softer the blood vessels, the longer their life span.
Many people should have heard of the word arteriosclerosis. In the past, this disease basically appeared in the elderly, but now more and more young people have this situation, which is caused by many people's unhealthy lifestyles.
Blood vessels crisscross the human body like water pipes with different thicknesses, continuously conveying blood and nutrients to various organs of the human body, so that each organ can maintain normal functions. However, with the growth of age or the occurrence of some diseases, as well as our usual uncontrolled diet, such as eating greasy food, exercising less, staying up late and other bad habits, blood lipids will be deposited on the vascular endothelium for a long time, and blood vessels will gradually harden.
Then the inner wall of blood vessels gradually narrows, the blood circulation is blocked, and the blood and nutrients delivered to various organs are reduced, which will lead to ischemia and hypoxia, secondary organ dysfunction, and finally people will die of organ failure. The faster the hardening of blood vessels, the shorter the life span. Therefore, the better the blood vessels are maintained, the longer their life span will be. In other words, the softer the blood vessels, the longer their life span.
To fight the battle of blood vessels, remember four things:
1, shut up
Rice is big fish and big meat, and blood vessels are easily blocked. What dishes are there in the restaurant? High in oil, salt and sugar? And then what? Thick red sauce? Processed people who eat out often have unhealthy blood vessels.
Step 2 avoid smoking
Two packs of cigarettes a day, easy blood vessels? Poisoning? . Research by American scientists shows that smoking more than 20 cigarettes a day will increase the risk of coronary heart disease by 2-3 times.
Step 3 Prevent chronic diseases
Hypertension and diabetes drag down cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Asymptomatic or uncontrolled hypertension is the trigger of many vascular diseases; Hyperglycemia not only involves microvessels, but also leads to macroangiopathy.
4. Lift your legs.
Less exercise, more blood vessels are wasted, and moderate aerobic exercise is good for blood vessels.
Second, the liver should be soft, okay? Hardening?
Generally speaking, a healthy liver is as soft and elastic as lips. Once the liver is damaged, its function will decrease, which will lead to liver? Hardening? , seriously endangering health.
As an important metabolic organ of human body, liver plays an important role in the synthesis, decomposition, filtration and storage of substances. The liver is a part of the human body. Chemical plant? . The food that the human body eats every day must be synthesized in the liver after digestion and absorption, and then these nutrients are transported to other parts of the body. Usually, some toxins will enter the body with the food we eat, and these wastes will also be decomposed in the liver and then excreted through the lungs, kidneys, intestines and skin.
Therefore, the daily work of the liver is very busy, and the liver should not be hard, otherwise it will cause the consequences of nutrient synthesis and toxin decomposition. Once the liver hardens, various diseases will follow. Moreover, in terms of medication, most oral drugs have to be metabolized by the liver before they can enter the blood and produce therapeutic effects. Therefore, once the liver function is damaged, the effects of many drugs will be affected.
To nourish and protect the liver, we must master the correct concept:
1, avoid alcohol
Alcohol is mainly metabolized in the liver. Long-term alcoholism can damage the liver. Fatty liver first appears, and then it will develop into liver fibrosis, alcoholic liver disease, and even cirrhosis and liver cancer.
Step 2 control meat
Eat more foods that can enhance the detoxification function of the liver, such as cauliflower, tomato, cucumber, bitter gourd and carrot.
3, a bad mood will hurt the liver.
Anger hurts the liver, and depression can also lead to stagnation of liver qi. With the fast pace of urban life and heavy work pressure, many people lack exercise and can't find an outlet, which is easily influenced by bad emotions and damages their liver.
Step 4 rest on time
When lying down and resting, the blood flowing into the liver is several times more than when standing, which is beneficial to enhance the function of liver cells and improve the detoxification ability. Chinese medicine believes that 65438+ 0-3 am is the liver meridian? On duty? Time, this is the best time to nourish the liver.
5, diligent exercise
Exercise for 30 minutes every day can avoid excessive accumulation of fat and prevent fatty liver.
