The Chinese New Year is approaching, and the atmosphere of the Spring Festival is getting stronger, however, every year the Spring Festival holiday is the peak period for coronary heart disease, hypertension and other cardiovascular disease attacks, which is indeed a big test for people with a bad heart. So, how can you give your heart a stress-free holiday after the family and friends reunion? Less greasy, more fruits and vegetables During the Spring Festival, families tend to eat a little more than usual. While enjoying the festivities, we should pay attention to a reasonable diet, eat less fried foods and foods containing high cholesterol such as shrimp, liver and egg yolk, and insist on eating a certain amount of fruits and fresh vegetables every day, and consume some nuts such as almonds appropriately. Avoid full meals and control the amount of salt During the Spring Festival, people often unknowingly eat more food than usual in the face of colorful and fragrant dishes and numerous snacks. Eating too much, the stomach wall expansion, will make the pressure in the lungs rise, leading to heart ischemia, easy to induce the cause of myocardial infarction. In addition, to strictly control the amount of salt, the daily intake of salt should be limited to 6 grams, less salt cured foods. Limit alcohol consumption, quit smoking During New Year’s Eve, friends and relatives gather for a drink to enhance friendship, but not alcohol. Strong tea, coffee and other exciting and stimulating drinks will increase the burden on the heart, and should not drink too much. In addition, smoking can lead to systemic vasoconstriction, and can be combined with the hemoglobin in the blood to reduce its function of oxygen delivery, resulting in myocardial ischemia and hypoxia. Do not strain, avoid crowding Every holiday, visiting friends and relatives, welcome guests, entertainment activities, etc. often make people in a hectic, if neglected to rest, overworked, it is easy to lead to plant nerve disorders. In addition to family reunion, the joy and excitement is too much, often triggering myocardial infarction, cerebral hemorrhage and hypertension. Therefore, patients with cardiovascular diseases should not overexert themselves. In addition, whether it is viral myocarditis, dilated cardiomyopathy, coronary heart disease, wind heart disease, are mostly related to viral infections, should try to avoid crowded places. To prevent accidents, it is important for patients with cardiovascular diseases to be more aware of precautions. Everything should be done “half-heartedly” and within one’s means. You should carry emergency medication with you when you go out and have regular medical checkups at the hospital to keep track of your physical condition. In addition, bad mood is a major health hazard and can easily trigger heart disease. A good and sufficient sleep can slow down the breathing and heartbeat and reduce the demand for blood oxygen by the heart muscle, which is a self-protective measure for the heart. The doctor’s tip: Winter and spring are the high season for coronary heart disease, and the risk of coronary heart attack is increased by the strain, excitement, overeating and cold weather during the Spring Festival. With a full house of family and friends, it is important for middle-aged and elderly people, especially those with a history of coronary heart disease, to take care of their hearts to prevent a coronary heart attack. In addition, if your heart does not feel well during the holidays, make sure to go to the hospital for a checkup in time to avoid losing a lot of money for a small reason.
