Without healthy blood vessels, the body is like a crop without water, slowly withering. If there is a problem with the blood vessels, almost the whole body will have an “alarm”. 1, vascular problems, the whole body to pull the “alarm” No healthy blood vessels, the human body is like a crop without water irrigation, slowly withering. If there is a problem with the blood vessels, almost the whole body will have an “alarm”. 2, blurred eyes, may be the fundus vessels If you see something in a day, frequent clear for a while and then blurred, you should pay great attention to the health of your blood vessels, it is likely that the fundus vessels have problems, resulting in the blood supply to the eyes, affecting the vision. Severe microvascular embolism, may also lead to transient blindness. 3, leg pain limp, may be the lower extremity blood vessels Many older people, appear to have walked for a while calf pain, had to stop and rest for a moment. In fact, this is likely to be lower limb vascular sclerosis, resulting in narrowing and occlusion of the vascular cavity. The main manifestation of this is “leg pain, walking limp”, resting for a while the pain will reduce or disappear. This “intermittent claudication” is a typical manifestation of peripheral arterial ischemic disease. 4, chest pain, chest tightness, may be a heart problem If chest pain, throat discomfort, unexplained, regular chest tightness occurs during physical activity, it is likely to be insufficient blood supply to the heart, a symptom of coronary heart disease. Chest discomfort may also be one of the “alarms” of acute myocardial infarction, be highly alert. 5, often fainting, may be cerebrovascular problems Young people occasionally faint may be an accident, but if the elderly often faint, it may be pathological. Many fainting is due to circulatory disorders in the blood vessels of the brain or the blood vessels that mainly supply blood to the brain, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain. 6, three standards of good blood vessels: pop, light, smooth The importance of blood vessels to the human body is self-evident, unfortunately, many people are young, but early vascular aging, suffering from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. 3 criteria for judging good or bad blood vessels: (1) bullet Once the blood vessels become hard and brittle and lose their elasticity, the inner lining of the blood vessels will become rough and the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will become greater and greater. Therefore, a good blood vessel must first be elastic. It is like a rubber band, which loses its elasticity and its function is weakened. Clean up the blood vessels, restore the vitality of the blood vessels, “build the Great Wall”, to resist the “external and internal problems” of high blood pressure and high blood pressure on the blood vessels. (2) Light If you put good blood vessels and “diseased” blood vessels in front of you, you will find that good blood vessels look particularly comfortable, arterial blood vessels are full of vitality, the walls are very smooth, you can not see any impurities, this kind of blood vessels also have the strongest ability to transport blood. But the “sick” blood vessels, the inner wall of its pipeline is a variety of “garbage” occupied, the formation of yellow porridge-like plaque, over time the flow of blood is blocked, and eventually caused by ischemia of a variety of diseases. (3) smooth This is just like the water pipe. When the blood vessels are smooth, the greater the flow of blood, the more nutrients are supplied to all parts of the body. Its benefits are obvious, such as fast blood flow, the speed of metabolism is also faster; older even if the blood lipid thick, it is less likely to clog, the risk of being found by cardiovascular disease is lower; winter is less likely to body cold, cold hands and feet, etc.. Some studies show that people who exercise regularly have smooth blood flow. 7, vascular age self-assessment table (1) recently depressed emotions (2) too serious (3) love to eat convenience foods and cookies, snacks (4) partial meat (5) lack of physical exercise (6) the number of cigarettes per day multiplied by the age of smoking more than 400 (7) climbing stairs chest pain (8) cold hands and feet, paralysis (9) often lost three or four (10) high blood pressure (11) high cholesterol or blood sugar value (12) relatives of someone died of stroke, heart disease test results: the more items meet, the higher the vascular age. Those who meet the items in 0-4 are still normal vascular age, those who meet 5-7 items are 10 years older than the physiological age, and those who reach 8-12 items are 20 years older than the physiological age. 8, blood vessel “natural enemies” blacklist In the blood vessel “natural enemies” blacklist, the following five kill the most powerful: (1) “four high” diet blocking blood vessels high sugar, high oil, high fat, high salt this “They increase the risk of high blood pressure and also easily lead to cholesterol and lipids attached to the walls of the blood vessels, causing atherosclerosis, resulting in poor blood vessel flow. (2) stay up late tired blood vessels Long-term stay up late, the body will secrete adrenaline and other hormones, which will lead to an increase in heart rate, blood pressure, which in turn increases the pressure on the cardiovascular system. If the continuous rest is not good, coupled with emotional anxiety, blood pressure fluctuations, it is easy to induce a stroke or even sudden death. (3) smoking, blood vessels are easy to “poison” Tobacco is a recognized enemy of cardiovascular health. Tobacco smoke in the harmful substances easily induced coronary artery spasm, so that the myocardium ischemia and hypoxia, but also to accelerate the process of atherosclerosis, easy to form thrombosis. (4) less aerobic exercise, vascular garbage sedentary lead to weight gain, will make the heart burden increased, affecting the heart blood circulation, these will indirectly promote hypertension, aggravate coronary heart disease. Long-term non-exercise, the garbage in the blood vessels will gradually accumulate and form atherosclerotic plaques. In fact, even walking, squeezed by the contraction of the leg muscles, the elasticity of the blood vessels will be enhanced. (5) accumulation of bad mood, blood vessels have no spirit Mental stress can cause vascular intima contraction, accelerating vascular aging. Old anger, stress, blood vessels also tend to harden. In fact, many cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are related to excessive mood swings. To have a healthy blood vessels, maintaining a good state of mind is the easiest and most economical way. 9, a word to defeat the blood vessels “natural enemies” So, how do we defeat these 5 “natural enemies”? Simply put, it is a phrase: eat 80% full, walk 10,000 steps a day, eat and move two balance. (1) do a set of exercises for the blood vessels Ma Yinchu lived to 100 years old, and he did “vascular gymnastics” every day. The method is: every night before bed with hot and cold water alternating shower, hot water temperature of 40 ℃ – 44 ℃, cold water temperature of 12 ℃ – 16 ℃. Do “gymnastics” first cold and then hot, alternating 5-10 times, each lasting 2-3 minutes, and finally end with a hot water bath. This vascular gymnastics can promote blood circulation, timely “flush away” the garbage in the blood vessels. In addition, brisk walking is also a good cardiovascular exercise, can enhance muscle endurance and enhance the elasticity of blood vessels. (2) Exercise before meals, to help the blood vessels in the age of foreign research shows that half an hour of exercise every day, such as walking, cycling, swimming, playing gateball, playing table tennis, jogging, swimming, climbing or hiking, can play a role in weight loss and fat loss, improve the degree of vascular “rejuvenation” to prevent aging. If you exercise moderately before meals, the effect of blood vessel protection is even better. (3) two pieces of dark chocolate per week Dark chocolate contains natural antioxidants flavonoids, which can prevent blood vessels from hardening, while increasing the vitality of the heart muscle, relaxing the muscles, preventing the accumulation of cholesterol in the blood vessels, which has a certain effect on the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease. (4) Drink green tea and less alcohol The catechol in green tea can reduce the amount of bad cholesterol in the blood, enhance vascular flexibility and elasticity, and prevent vascular sclerosis. Do not advocate drinking alcohol to protect blood vessels. Drinking a lot of alcohol raises blood pressure, blood triglycerides, leading to atrial fibrillation, alcoholic cardiomyopathy, fatty liver, liver cirrhosis, and in serious cases, even cause sudden death. (5) eat some blood vessels “scavenger” Hawthorn, oats, black fungus, kumquat, eggplant, sweet potatoes, garlic, onions, these eight foods can unclog the blood vessels, and maintain the elasticity of the blood vessel wall. Vinegar can also soften blood vessels and lower blood lipids. Of course, the most important thing is to adhere to a balanced diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, and be wary of the “four high” food. 10, blood vessel blockage, how to unblock If there is damage to the endothelium of blood vessels, the cholesterol level in the body is too high, under the synergy of high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking and other risk factors, too much cholesterol will be deposited in the arterial wall, forming atheromatous plaque. Oversized plaques should be treated based on lifestyle changes. (1) Drug conservative treatment Drug conservative treatment. Commonly used drugs include antiplatelet drugs such as aspirin, lipid-regulating statins, and other drugs to treat high-risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as antihypertensive drugs for patients with high blood pressure, and glucose-lowering drugs for patients with high blood sugar. (2) Coronary stenting is less invasive, quicker to recover, and more effective immediately. However, many patients are overly superstitious about its efficacy and think that as long as they have a stent, they are insured and can be cured of their heart disease once and for all. In fact, there are indications for stent surgery, and not all coronary heart diseases are suitable. The most suitable for stenting is acute myocardial infarction and angina pectoris where drug treatment is ineffective. Although coronary stenting solves the problem of cardiovascular unblocking and improves the symptoms of local myocardial ischemia, it only “squeezes” the plaque outside the stent, instead of “cutting” the plaque out of the vessel, and cannot change the trend of atherosclerosis and stenosis of the coronary arteries of the whole heart. In addition, there is the risk of long-term in-stent thrombosis. Patients who do not take their medication regularly and stop smoking after surgery may have a relapse of the disease or develop new lesions soon.
