In the 19th century, the famous French doctor Cassanis said: “People live with arteries”, and some people figuratively compare blood vessels to “candles of life”, which all illustrate that human life expectancy is extremely closely related to the health of blood vessels. With the change of diet and lifestyle and the aging of society, the incidence of occlusive diseases caused by atherosclerosis is increasing, which seriously threatens the life and health of human beings and has become the first killer of human beings. Therefore, the topic of how to maintain health is of great concern to people. Keep healthy from the blood vessels, the following 5 aspects to talk about how to keep the blood vessels young and healthy. 1, reasonable diet Eat more alkaline food, such as vegetables, fruits, milk, soy products and aquatic products. This kind of food can keep the blood is weak alkaline, so that the blood acid reduced, and prevent its deposition on the blood vessel wall, and therefore has the effect of softening blood vessels. Eat less animal fat and food containing high cholesterol, such as fatty meat, animal liver, brain, kidney and other organs, egg yolk, roe, cream and so on. The fats consumed by the body are not water soluble in the blood, but must be combined with protein to form “lipoproteins” in order to be dissolved and then transported to the tissues and organs of the body. Among “lipoproteins”, the worst effect on vascular sclerosis is “low-density lipoprotein” and “very low-density lipoprotein”, which can be deposited into the blood vessel wall to form atherosclerosis, while “HDL” has the effect of preventing atherosclerosis. Animal fat, low-density lipoprotein is too high, so high-fat diet is easy to contribute to the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis. 2, appropriate exercise “life is exercise”. Appropriate sports is one of the remedies to keep the blood vessels young, especially the middle-aged and elderly and obese people. Moderate exercise can turn fat into heat, which not only strengthens the body and helps to lose weight, but also increases the elasticity of blood vessels and keeps them soft. But the activity should be different from person to person, different age groups should choose different intensity of sports, such as the elderly should choose jogging, walking, gymnastics, qigong, taijiquan, etc.. 3, actively quit smoking The carbon monoxide and nicotine in cigarettes can cause and aggravate vascular endothelial cell damage, hypoxia, which is conducive to the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis. Smoking can also significantly enhance platelet aggregation, and can affect lipid metabolism, so that the blood is in a hypercoagulable state, which is conducive to the formation of thrombosis on the basis of atherosclerosis. The more you smoke, the longer you smoke, the thicker the arterial wall fibers, the more serious the plaque formation and coronary artery calcification, the higher the chance of developing atherosclerosis. In view of the above-mentioned hazards of smoking, we ask people to actively quit smoking. For patients with arterial occlusive disease, the requirement to actively and strictly quit smoking has a positive effect on slowing down the development process of the disease. 4, control the “three high” high blood pressure, high blood pressure, high blood sugar is the danger of vascular health “three killers”. High blood lipid is the main factor leading to atherosclerosis. High blood pressure will produce tension mechanical damage to the arterial wall, the inner membrane physiological barrier function is reduced, the arterial structure changes, which is conducive to the formation of atherosclerosis. Long-term hyperglycemia can cause systemic small and large vessel lesions and accelerate the process of atherosclerosis. Therefore, we should pay attention to blood pressure, blood lipids, blood viscosity, blood sugar and other indicators of inspection, timely detection and prevention, prevention of atherosclerosis, prevention and reduction of various vascular disease events. 5, good mood “smile, ten years less”, happy mood, good mood can make people physically and mentally healthy, also conducive to the blood vessels “young”. Chinese medicine believes that emotions and the “liver” is the closest relationship, the liver is the main drainage, liver qi regulation is conducive to the smooth circulation of blood, on the contrary, liver qi stagnation will make the blood vessels run poorly, stasis in the veins, occlusion, and lead to the occurrence of various vascular diseases. In short, scientific and reasonable diet structure, appropriate sports, good habits, with appropriate drug prevention and treatment, in order to make our “blood vessels young” people do not age, enjoy a healthy, happy, happy life.
