The blood vessels of our body are like roads in a city, once they are blocked, they will bring many social and life problems. Clinical diseases related to vascular obstruction are very, very numerous, but they are not commonly noticed, and once the clinical symptoms of vascular lesions appear, the time for treatment is often lost (such as heart attack, stroke, etc.). Nowadays, many people like to go to the hospital in winter to hang water, with some so-called blood circulation drugs to clean up the blood vessels, whether these therapies are effective for the time being not to comment. It must be said that there is no “garbage” in the blood vessels, the so-called “garbage” is actually some larger molecules of lipoproteins and cytokines with clotting function. If we don’t change our lifestyle and diet (i.e. clean up from the upstream of the “garbage”), no matter what kind of treatment is used, we can’t finish removing these so-called “garbage”. No matter what treatment is used, these so-called “garbage” will not be removed. Many people are worried about eating too much meat and fish, so they start a continuous “vegetarian diet”, eating fungus, celery and seaweed every day, hoping to clean up the blood vessel garbage, but is this really effective? Let’s not say that the “vegetarian” method has no effect, first to explore, our blood vessels really have “garbage”? And how is this garbage produced? Is there really “garbage” in the blood vessels? In fact, the so-called vascular “garbage”, usually refers to the metabolic waste generated by living cells in the metabolic process. These metabolic wastes will be transported through the blood circulation to the liver, kidneys and other excretory organs to be excreted from the body. There are three main ways of excretion of common metabolic wastes: 1. The wastes excreted through sweat are water, inorganic salts, and urea. 2, the whistling system is excreted carbon dioxide and water vapor. 3.The urinary system excretes water, inorganic salts, and urea. Generally speaking, regular people do not have to worry excessively about excessive accumulation of metabolic waste as long as they maintain a healthy lifestyle, unless they suffer from kidney and other diseases. In addition, these metabolic wastes will not directly lead to blood vessel blockage and induce three high or cardiovascular diseases. What about the formation of clogged blood vessels and blood clots? The truth about blood vessel clogging There are three main reasons for blood vessel clogging: 1. Increased lipids Although lipids can provide us with a lot of energy, cholesterol can form cell membranes. However, when there are too many lipids, it will be deposited to the blood vessel wall, which will change the blood flow and even obstruct it, and then plaque will be easily formed. When the plaque becomes bigger or unstable, it is likely to rupture and form a blood clot, which can easily lead to heart attack, brain attack and other dangerous diseases. Hearing this, many people may be reassured that eating vegetarian is useful, because less fat intake, lipid substances will not accumulate in the body. Actually, it is not. Less than 30% of cholesterol in the human body; is absorbed from the diet, while the other 70% or more is synthesized by the body itself. In other words, controlling the diet can only regulate a small portion of the body’s cholesterol. As we age, the ability of organs to remove cholesterol decreases, and some diseases such as diabetes, thyroid disease and kidney disease can lead to abnormalities in the synthesis and metabolic process of lipoproteins, causing an increase in blood lipids. Therefore, eating appropriate vegetarian food has a certain effect on the prevention of atherosclerosis, but it is not scientific to want to simply eat fungus, seaweed and other vegetarian food to lower blood lipids and dissolve blood clots, or need medication. 2, damaged vascular lining The normal vascular wall is very smooth, and the various components of blood can flow smoothly in the blood vessels, but when the vascular lining is damaged, the bad cholesterol in the blood is easy to drill into the broken vascular wall, reach the vascular lining and gradually accumulate to form hardened plaque. The more the plaque accumulates, the more the blood vessels do not stretch and shrink smoothly, and the blood circulation is blocked, causing the blockage of blood vessels. 3.Damaged coagulation system There are coagulation system and anticoagulation system in human blood. Under normal circumstances, the two maintain a dynamic balance to ensure the normal flow of blood in the blood vessels. However, under the influence of some pathogenic factors, the smooth muscle cells of blood vessels will have metabolic abnormalities, and the coagulation factors will also be lesions, thus forming blood clots. The culprits of blocked blood vessels, you may not know all In addition to the common lipids will block blood vessels, what are the causative factors? 1, oral bacteria Scientific research has found that oral bacteria increase the risk of atherosclerosis, and periodontal disease patients are 2.7 times more likely to have a myocardial infarction than ordinary people! Do not love brushing, brushing the wrong way can lead to food residue deposition, produce a large number of bacteria, the formation of plaque and tartar, inducing inflammation. The toxins produced by bacteria can enter the blood circulation, and inflammatory factors can also destroy the lining of blood vessels and damage them. Suggestions: ① Brush your teeth every morning and evening for about 3 minutes; ② Make a good habit of rinsing your mouth after meals; ③ Adults are recommended to have a dental cleaning once a year; ④ Older people have more dental caries and tooth loss and should seek medical consultation in time. 2, tobacco Nicotine, carbon monoxide and other harmful substances in tobacco will enter the blood through the whistle, interfere with the fat metabolism in the blood and reduce the elasticity of blood vessels. Passive second-hand smoke damage is also the same, and smoking at home, carpets, clothes, sofas and other residual “third-hand smoke”, so for their own health and the health of their families and neighbors, the best way is to quit smoking. 3, hormone disorders often say “staying up late is equal to chronic suicide”, this is really not a joke. Staying up late for a long time will lead to endocrine disorders, hormonal disorders, which will not only affect the individual’s mental state, but also increase the risk of thyroid disease, cardiovascular disease and other risks. Suggestions: It is best to get yourself to sleep before 23:00 every day, you can soak your feet before going to bed to help you sleep. But do not play electronic products, because artificial blue light will stimulate the optic nerve, inhibit melatonin secretion, causing difficulty in falling asleep. 4, emotional instability Easily excited, excited, angry people, the risk of cardiovascular disease is two times the average person! Excessive emotions will stimulate the sympathetic postganglionic fiber endings around the heart, releasing bioactive substances that will accelerate the heartbeat, enhance myocardial contraction, constrict blood vessels and increase blood pressure. High-pressure blood flow can impact the arterial wall causing arterial intima damage and causing lipid deposition in the arteries. Therefore, it is important to maintain a good mood. 5, sedentary sedentary will lead to slow blood circulation, easily increase the chances of thrombosis. Studies show that people who sit for more than 3 hours a day have a 2-fold increased risk of lower limb venous thrombosis! Whether it’s a long flight or a sedentary computer office, it can be a trigger for blood clots. In addition, sedentary fat burning reduction, cholesterol levels rise, blood lipids will also increase; will also make calcified material in the arteries, causing atherosclerosis, increasing the chances of thrombosis. Therefore, “more movement” is also a way to prevent atherosclerosis and blood clots. Usually set up exercise goals for yourself, try to adhere to three times a week more than 30 minutes of exercise; secondly, when sitting properly rest for a moment, get up and walk, tiptoe, hook feet, move ankle joints and so on are good choices.
