Many people think that they only worry about our blood vessels when they get old. Unbeknownst to them, vascular plaques become larger, accelerated from the age of 30, coupled with modern people live more and more tired, eat more and more unhealthy, exercise less and less, unknowingly accelerating the aging and damage of blood vessels. Now many people still look energetic on the surface, even colds are less, in fact, the body’s blood vessels have quietly aging, slowly losing elasticity, which is the most common consequence of sudden cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. The human body every 6.5 square centimeters of skin on the distribution of blood vessels about 6.1 meters long. Good blood vessels are particularly comfortable to look at: arteries are energetic, large caliber, smooth, soft walls, good elasticity, and the ability to transport blood is also the strongest. But some people’s blood vessels can not help but make people sweat, just like the water pipe at home, used for a long time, the inner wall of the pipeline will be scaling, rust, and gradually lead to pipeline obstruction and unable to supply water. Blood “scale” refers to cholesterol, triglycerides, etc., they accumulate more and more in the blood vessel wall, forming a yellow millet porridge-like plaque. Over time, the elasticity of the blood vessel wall decreases, the blood flow is blocked, and ultimately caused by ischemia and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. Self-assessment: how old are your blood vessels? 1, in the emotional depression, too serious; 2, addicted to instant noodles and cookies, snacks, partial to meat food; 3, unwilling to exercise; 4, the number of cigarettes smoked per day multiplied by the age of more than 400; 5, chest pain when climbing stairs; 6, cold hands and feet; 7, a sense of numbness; 8, forgetfulness, and often lost; 9, elevated blood pressure; 10, cholesterol or blood glucose rise; 11, someone in the immediate family died of coronary heart disease or stroke. stroke. If you meet the 1-4 items, it means that your blood vessel age is still young; meet the 5-7 items, suggesting that the blood vessel age exceeds the physiological age of more than 10 years; meet the 8-11 items, suggesting that the age of your blood vessel will be more than 20 years older than the physiological age; Reminder: the appearance of the latter two cases, suggesting that you Reminder: the appearance of the latter two conditions suggests that you have a greater likelihood of suffering from diabetes, heart disease, stroke. Blood vessel “natural enemy” blacklist 1, meals of fish and meat, blood vessels are easy to block. People in their thirties and forties often outside socializing, restaurant dishes with “high oil, high salt, high sugar” and “thick oil and red sauce” concocted, resulting in more and more fat in the blood vessels, easy to clog the blood vessels. 2, day and night, disrupting the biological clock of blood vessels. Thirty years of age or older, most of them are the mainstay of the unit, inevitably become “late at night”. From the health point of view, 11 p.m. to four or five o’clock in the morning, is to ensure that the liver metabolism blood flow time. When you stay up late, not only yourself, cardiovascular biological clock will also be disrupted, resulting in excessive secretion of adrenaline and norepinephrine, so that vascular constriction, slow blood flow, viscosity increased. Long-term “black and white” people, the risk of heart disease than normal people will double. 3, two packs of cigarettes a day, blood vessels are easy to “poisoning”. “Smoking is one of the culprits that cause blood vessels to malfunction, even if you are in good health, two packs of cigarettes a day, will certainly leave poison to the blood vessels, so that it is fragile day by day.” Studies have shown that smoking more than 20 cigarettes a day increases the risk of coronary heart disease by two to three times. There are also studies that found that smoking while staying up late will make the blood viscosity more than 8 times higher than normal. 4, less exercise, more vascular garbage. Lower extremity blood vessels are also important, but often overlooked by everyone. If there is a problem with the cerebral blood vessels, the chance of heart disease is 2-3 times that of a normal person, but if there is a problem with the blood vessels of the lower extremities, the odds will become 4 times. Normal people have about 600 capillaries per square millimeter of skin, usually only 100-200 open, more exercise can make more capillaries open, promote blood microcirculation; and long-term non-exercise, the garbage in the blood vessels will gradually accumulate, the formation of atherosclerotic plaques this “untimely bomb! “, will also affect the blood supply to the capillaries, and may be detonated at any time. 5, hypertension, diabetes drag cardiovascular. No symptoms or uncontrolled high blood pressure, is the trigger of many vascular disease fuse. The chance of cerebral infarction in hypertensive patients is 4-7 times higher than that of normal people. High blood sugar not only involves microvascular, but also lead to macrovascular disease, high blood sugar people, the incidence of stroke is 2-3 times higher than normal people. Eat some blood vessel “scavenger” hawthorn, oatmeal, black fungus, kumquat, eggplant, sweet potato, garlic, onion, the eight food can unclog the blood vessels, and maintain the elasticity of the blood vessel wall. Vinegar can also soften blood vessels, reduce blood fat. Four more food less 1, containing more fish oil food. Fish is rich in methionine, lysine, proline and oxalic acid, improve vascular elasticity, compliance and sodium excretion, rich in ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, fish oil and protection of vascular endothelial cells, reduce lipid deposition and improve fibrinolytic function. 2, arginine-rich food. Can replenish the kidney fill essence, help regulate vascular tension, inhibit platelet aggregation, reduce vascular damage, such as sea cucumber, loach, eel and sesame, yam, ginkgo, tofu skin, sunflower seeds, etc.; eat more folic acid-rich foods, dietary deficiency of folic acid and vitamin B6, B12, will make the blood cysteine level rises, prone to damage the vascular endothelial cells, promote atherosclerosis plaque formation. 3, supplement folic acid. It plays an important role in reducing the incidence of coronary heart disease and stroke. It is recommended that middle-aged and elderly people, especially cardiovascular patients, should consume more folic acid-rich foods, such as red amaranth, spinach, longbeard, asparagus, beans, yeast and apples, citrus and so on. 4. Consume more natural anticoagulant and lipid-lowering foods. Consumption of such foods can help reduce myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke. Inhibit platelet aggregation, prevent thrombosis of black fungus and pyrazine-containing substances such as garlic, onions, green onions, corns, mushrooms, longbeards and strawberries, pineapple also has a certain anticoagulant effect. Tomatoes, grapes, oranges contain a small amount of aspirin-like salicylic acid anticoagulant substances. Lipid-lowering foods include spirulina, parsley, carrots, hawthorn, purslane, kelp, walnuts, and camellia oil, olive oil and so on. Exercise before meals, to help blood vessels in the age of daily exercise for half an hour, such as walking, cycling, swimming, playing croquet, table tennis, jogging, swimming, climbing or hiking, can play a role in weight loss and elimination of fat, to improve the blood vessels, “rejuvenation” degree, to prevent aging. If moderate exercise before meals, the effect of protecting blood vessels is better. Drinking green tea and red wine It is recommended that, at home or out of socializing, you may want to drink some green tea, because of the tea polyphenols can reduce the amount of bad cholesterol in the blood, increase the amount of good cholesterol, increase vascular flexibility, elasticity, and prevention of vascular sclerosis. Or every night with a glass drink a large half cup (about 100-150 ml) of red wine, it has an antioxidant effect, drink three or four times a week, can be very good to soften blood vessels.
