Many people think that they only worry about our blood vessels when they get older. Little do we know that the vascular plaque gets bigger and accelerates from the age of 30 onwards. Some people’s blood vessels can’t help but make people sweat, just like the water pipes at home, with a long time, the inner wall of the pipe to scale, rust, and gradually lead to the pipe blocked and can not supply water. The “scale” in the blood refers to cholesterol, triglycerides, etc. They accumulate on the walls of the blood vessels, forming plaques like yellow millet porridge. Over time, the elasticity of the blood vessel wall decreases, the flow of blood is blocked and eventually causes cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases due to ischemia. Vascular “natural enemies” blacklist 1, meal big fish and meat, blood vessels easily blocked. Often outside socializing, restaurant dishes with “high oil, high salt, high sugar” and “thick oil and sauce” concoction out, resulting in more and more fat in the blood vessels, easy to block the blood vessels. 2, day and night reversal, disrupting the biological clock of blood vessels. Staying up late causes the body to secrete too much adrenaline and norepinephrine, making blood vessels constrict, slow blood flow, and increased viscosity. Long-term “black and white” people, the risk of heart disease will be doubled than normal people. 3, two packs of cigarettes a day, blood vessels are prone to “poisoning”. “Smoking is one of the culprits that lead to blood vessel failure, even if your body is good, two packs of cigarettes a day, it will certainly give blood vessels to stay poisoned, so that it is vulnerable day by day.” Smoking while staying up late will make the viscosity of the blood more than 8 times higher than normal. 4, exercise less, vascular garbage more. Lower extremity blood vessels are also very important, but often ignored by everyone. More exercise can make more capillaries open, to promote blood microcirculation; and long-term non-exercise, the garbage in the blood vessels will gradually accumulate, the formation of atherosclerotic plaque “untimely bomb”, but also affect the capillary blood supply, and may be detonated at any time. 5, hypertension, diabetes dragging the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular. Hypertension patients are 4-7 times more likely to have a brain infarction than normal people. High blood sugar not only involves the microvasculature, but also leads to large blood vessel lesions, high blood sugar, the incidence of stroke is 2-3 times higher than normal people. 6, bad mood injury blood vessels. Swiss experts recently confirmed that mental stress can cause vascular intima contraction, accelerating vascular aging. How to maintain blood vessels? 1, eat some blood vessels “scavenger” Hawthorn, oats, black fungus, kumquat, eggplant, sweet potatoes, garlic, onions, the eight most food can unclog the blood vessels, and maintain the elasticity of the blood vessel wall. Vinegar can also soften blood vessels and reduce blood lipids. 2, food containing fish oil fish rich in thionine, lysine, proline and oxanthine, has improved vascular elasticity, compliance and promote the role of sodium excretion, fish oil rich in unsaturated fatty acids and the protection of vascular endothelial cells, reduce lipid deposition and improve the function of fibrinolysis. 3.Foods rich in arginine. For example, sea cucumber, loach, eel and sesame, yam, ginkgo, tofu skin, sunflower seeds, etc.; lack of folic acid and vitamin B6 and B12 in the diet will increase the level of cysteine in the blood, which will easily damage the endothelial cells of blood vessels and promote the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. 4, supplementation of folic acid has 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 foods rich in folic acid, such as amaranth, spinach, lobelia, asparagus, beans, yeast and apples, citrus, etc. 5, more intake of natural anticoagulant and lipid-lowering foods such as garlic, onions, green onions, chrysanthemum, shiitake mushrooms, lobster and strawberries, pineapple also have a certain anticoagulant effect. Tomatoes, grapes, oranges contain a small amount of salicylic acid anticoagulant substances similar to aspirin. Lipid-lowering foods include spirulina, parsley, carrots, hawthorn, nori, kelp, walnuts and olive oil, sesame oil, etc. 6, exercise before meals, to help blood vessels in age. Foreign research shows that half an hour of exercise every day, such as walking, cycling, jogging, swimming, etc., can play a role in weight loss and fat loss, improve the degree of vascular “rejuvenation” to prevent aging. If moderate exercise before meals, the effect of protecting blood vessels better. 7, two pieces of chocolate per week dark chocolate contains natural antioxidants flavonoids, can prevent blood vessels hardening, while increasing the vitality of the heart muscle, relax the muscle. 8, drink green tea and red wine Suggestions, at home or outside the entertainment may wish to drink some green tea, because the catechol can reduce the content of bad cholesterol in the blood, increase blood vessel flexibility, elasticity, prevention of vascular sclerosis. Or drink a glass of red wine every night with a large half cup (about 100-150 ml), it has antioxidant effects, drink three or four times a week, can be very good at softening the blood vessels. 9, vascular gymnastics every day, walking briskly is also a good cardiovascular exercise, can enhance muscle endurance and enhance the elasticity of blood vessels.
