The winter solstice attention to nourish the kidneys and kidney alert to cardiovascular disease For people with bad kidneys, foot warmth is very important, because the kidney meridian source in the foot, in winter the foot is more vulnerable to the cold attack.

So why is the cold winter so terrible for patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases? 1, affected by the temperature, the human metabolism is slow, low-temperature stimulation is easy to make the human sympathetic excitation, prompting the increase in blood pressure, heart rate continues to accelerate, thereby increasing myocardial oxygen consumption. 2, cold weather and cause sudden vasoconstriction, easily lead to vascular blockage, blood supply interruption, blood flow is blocked, so that the toxic substances in the blood vessels is not easy to discharge, resulting in the onset and recurrence of cardiovascular disease. 3, the sudden cold weather, blood pressure will suddenly rise, so that the original hardened and fragile small arteries can not withstand the strong internal pressure and “detonation”, cerebral hemorrhage occurs. 4, because of the first cold, blood viscosity is too late to self-regulate, blood can only be in the rough, small arteries in the slow flow, easy to form small thrombosis, which leads to cerebrovascular blockage or myocardial infarction. So in this time of winter, it is vital for middle-aged and elderly people to prevent cardiovascular diseases. Middle-aged and elderly people must pay attention to cold and warmth, balanced diet, and avoid a lot of exercise to prevent danger.
