”In the 1950s the United States dissected more than 300 American soldiers killed in action on the Korean battlefield and found that 70 percent had atherosclerosis, and most of these fallen soldiers were young men in their 20s and 30s. Atherosclerosis is the fuse of cardiovascular disease, the prevention of cardiovascular disease to start from youth ……” Last weekend, in the free health lectures held in Henan Province Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Dr. Wang Zhentao, director of the Department of Cardiovascular Disease, talked about “reasonable diet to prevent cardiovascular disease “The topic. Dr. Wang Zhentao said that the main cause of cardiovascular disease is atherosclerosis, a process that accumulates over time, and atherosclerosis is mainly related to diet, exercise and other lifestyle habits. Studies have shown that atherosclerosis begins in adolescence, so the prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease should begin in adolescence. To prevent cardiovascular disease, we should keep in mind three rules: one is zero smoking, the second is to open the legs, and the third is to control the mouth. Zero smoking is to quit smoking, including active smoking and passive smoking, because passive smoking and active smoking are the same harm; open legs is to exercise properly, control the mouth is to reasonable diet. From the perspective of Chinese medicine theory, Dr. Wang Zhentao made his own interpretation of reasonable diet to prevent cardiovascular disease by combining the “one, two, three, four, five” of health expert Hong Zhaoguang’s reasonable diet and the “red, yellow, green, white and black” of balanced nutrition. Dr. Wang said that the Chinese medicine classic “Huangdi Neijing” believes that “five grains are nourishing”, “five dishes are filling”, “five fruits are helping” and “five animals are beneficial”. “, that is to say, the diet should be grain, vegetables, fruits as the main food, and meat, eggs and other high-fat, high-protein food as a side dish. In addition, Chinese medicine also believes that different colors are connected with the five organs, such as liver in the color of green (green), heart in the color of red (red), spleen in the color of yellow, lung in the color of white, kidney in the color of black. Various colors of food are associated with the five organs, if you are partial to a certain food, you will damage the relevant organs, the correct approach is to have balanced nutrition. Cardiovascular disease is mainly caused by atherosclerosis due to elevated cholesterol in the blood caused by an unhealthy diet, so it is important to control the intake of cholesterol in the diet. A proper diet can prevent cardiovascular diseases, and it can be said that unhealthy is eaten and healthy is also eaten. Dr. Wang said, to achieve a reasonable diet, we must do the following: First, five to eight taels of rice or buns every day, control the staple food can control weight; second, three servings of high-protein food every day, 1 two lean meat or 1 large egg or 2 two tofu or two fish and shrimp or half two soybeans, protein to fish protein is the best, the more fish eat, the less chance of coronary heart disease, stroke. Plant protein is best with soy. Third, we should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. 400 grams of fresh vegetables and 100 grams of fruits per day can provide sufficient amount of fiber, which can help prevent cancer and also prevent constipation. Fourthly, insist on drinking a bag of milk every day. There are about 500mg of calcium in our diet every day, while each person actually needs 800mg of calcium every day. Insist on drinking a bag of milk containing 300mg every day, just to make up for the lack of calcium. The last thing is to do is to have a coarse and fine diet, not sweet and not salty, seven or eight percent full.
