Healthy Eating for Mid-Autumn

First, the relationship between diet and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases? With the change of lifestyle, the number of patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in China is on the rise year by year, and the age is trending younger. According to statistics, the prevalence of hypertension in China is about 14% in people over 15 years old, which is double that of 30 years ago. And the most worrying thing is that more and more patients with myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage occur in their 30s. At present, the number of deaths caused by cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in China is about 2.6 million per year, accounting for the first cause of human death, with an average of 300 deaths per hour. According to epidemiological studies, the main reason for the rising and youthful trend of cardiovascular diseases is the failure to form a healthy lifestyle after the improvement of living standards brought about by economic development. Such as unhealthy eating habits, smoking, obesity, lack of exercise and mental stress. Among them, dietary habits are more closely related to the occurrence and development of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and people who love to eat high-fat and high-cholesterol food and have a heavy taste have a higher incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. What kind of dietary habits can effectively prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases? Increased cholesterol is an important factor causing atherosclerosis, therefore, reducing the intake of cholesterol can reduce the incidence of atherosclerosis. In addition, saturated fatty acids can increase the activity of platelets and the tendency of thrombosis, thus accelerating the process of atherosclerosis, while unsaturated fatty acids can prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, from the perspective of early prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, a diet with less salt and lightness should be adopted starting from children and even infants. Eat more fruits and vegetables containing vitamins, minerals and fiber. Such as spinach, garlic, potatoes, mushrooms, can lower cholesterol and blood pressure, fungus, apples are able to lower blood pressure. It is advisable to eat more vegetable protein: such as beans and soy products, which are good for bile acid excretion and make cholesterol synthesis decrease. Appropriate consumption of fish substances, unsaturated fatty acids in fish fat – linolenic acid to reduce blood cholesterol and triglycerides have a relatively good effect. In addition, linolenic acid has the effect of reducing platelet coagulation and blood clotting, thus having the effect of preventing thrombosis. Third, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular patients should pay attention to what in the holiday diet of large fish and meat? Long-term clinical work experience tells us that every year, during seasonal changes and festivals, there are always some middle-aged and elderly people who are tired due to climate change, visiting friends and relatives, excessive smoking, alcohol, sugar, tea, salty food and greasy food, and missing relatives during festivals, which cause some middle-aged and elderly people to suffer from sudden cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the ensuing holidays provide a good time for busy people to visit friends and relatives and gather with friends and relatives. But while celebrating, don’t ignore the new concept of “healthy holiday” life, and be careful not to let “holiday diseases” near you. People with cardiovascular disease should pay attention to: 1, avoid high sodium diet, eat less salt, the daily intake should be less than 5 grams, because more sodium can make blood pressure rise. 2, avoid high-fat diet, diet should pay attention to light, excessive greasy, increased blood viscosity, extremely detrimental to cardiovascular disease. Therefore, the diet should be coarse and fine, sweet and salty, fruits and vegetables must be used, three meals a day, should not be too full, seventy-eight percent can. 3, avoid high sugar diet, eat less sweets, because sugar in the body is still turned into fat, but also increase blood viscosity. The custom of eating moon cakes at the Mid-Autumn Festival was formed in the Ming Dynasty, and today, eating moon cakes is already a mandatory procedure for every family at Mid-Autumn Festival, but did you know? A traditional moon cake calories up to 700 calories, equivalent to 3 bowls of rice calories, so those who are afraid of fat friends, the face of the sweet and delicious moon cake must be “under the mouth”. 4, avoid smoking and alcohol, because nicotine makes the blood thick viscosity increase, ethanol can induce lipid metabolism disorders. It is recommended to drink no more than 50ml of white wine, 100ml of red wine and 500ml of beer per day. 4. What are the recommended cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health care methods during the holiday season? 1, to maintain good habits, do not overwork. During the holiday season, visiting friends and relatives, receiving people and guests, all kinds of entertainment has increased significantly, and the amount of housework has also increased greatly, so patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease should pay special attention to the reasonable arrangement of their lives, do not aggravate the disease because of high tension and overwork. 2, to maintain emotional stability, do not be overly excited. During the holiday season, friends and relatives get together to avoid emotional excitement, but significant mood swings can also increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease attacks, so patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease to maintain their emotional stability. 3, to maintain a reasonable diet, do not overeat. Eating too much or eating too much fatty food can lead to an increase in blood viscosity, while also increasing the burden on the cardiovascular system due to the excessive burden on the digestive tract. During the holidays, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease should pay attention to a moderate diet, not overeating; diet should be based on light food, and eat less large fish and meat. 4, to maintain control of smoking and alcohol, do not indulge. Smoking and drinking have a clear relationship with cardiovascular disease, smoking and drinking habits significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, so friends who have smoking and drinking habits must strictly control themselves, try not to smoke, drink less, do not smoke and drink inordinately.
