When patients with cardiovascular disease go to the hospital for physical examination, they often monitor the three high conditions:
1. Blood pressure detection: blood pressure above 140, low pressure above 90, all belong to the category of high blood pressure;
2. Four tests for blood lipids; cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (bad cholesterol), triglycerides, high density lipoprotein (good cholesterol). If the first three indicators are higher or lower than normal values, they are harmful to the human body, especially when cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein are elevated, plaques are easily formed, causing vascular wall stenosis and atherosclerosis, while high density Lipoproteins are good cholesterol, which can remove cholesterol and low-density lipoproteins and avoid the occurrence of atherosclerosis. 3. Four tests of blood glucose: urine glucose measurement, blood glucose measurement, glucose tolerance test, C-peptide measurement.
The above three tests are closely linked. If there is abnormal blood lipid and blood sugar, there will basically be high blood pressure. Because of blood vessel blockage, pressure must be increased in order to promote blood flow. Therefore, blood lipids and blood sugar higher than normal are the cause, and hypertension is the result.
The chief culprit that causes vascular stenosis and atherosclerosis is blood lipids. Therefore, in order to avoid the three highs, one must first pay close attention to blood lipids and avoid the increase and accumulation of blood lipids in daily life.
Blood lipids are divided into two categories: one is fat, the main component is triglycerides, which is the main source of human energy, although indispensable, but not too much; the other is lipids, including phospholipids, glycolipids ,cholesterol.
Further analysis: the main components of blood lipids are fatty triglycerides and lipid cholesterol. Among them, cholesterol contains low density lipoprotein and high density lipoprotein respectively! Low-density lipoprotein is one of the main culprits involved in atherosclerosis. Medical workers call it bad cholesterol. This bad guy is like a large transport truck. It carries lipids from the liver to the blood vessel wall day and night. Lipids are deposited on the vascular endothelium, forming atherosclerosis of the vascular wall. And high-density lipoprotein is turned into good cholesterol by doctors. Like a good courier, he also works overtime to transport the lipid substances deposited in the vascular endothelium back to the liver!
Cholesterol is so unbearable, can the human body avoid it? The answer is denial!
Cholesterol, like fat, is also an indispensable substance for the human body. Its main functions are as follows: 1. It forms a cell membrane and becomes the protective part of the cell. Without the cell membrane, the cell will no longer be complete. 2. Synthesize bile acid. The cooperation of bile acids and enzymes is essential for the decomposition and digestion of fats and the main substance for absorbing fat-soluble vitamins. 3. Generate hormones. Cortisol, testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, estradiol and other hormones released by the adrenal cortex and gonads are all made of cholesterol. 4. Synthesize vitamin D. When food vitamin D cannot meet the needs of the human body, it can synthesize vitamin D by itself through the action of ultraviolet rays in the sun. The synthetic raw material is cholesterol.
Cholesterol is so important, it is also too much. Especially when working with low-density lipoprotein, it has become a blood vessel killer for humans! How do we avoid excessive cholesterol production, and how to solve atherosclerosis caused by bad cholesterol precipitation?
Judging from the current medical development, no better solution has been found to deal with atherosclerosis, just as humans cannot find large dredging vessels and advanced dredging machinery in the face of riverbed silt. But what we can do is to prevent it in advance. Just like the water of the Yangtze River that originated from the Tuotuo River, prevention and treatment will begin when it flows through Qinghai and Sichuan. Don’t wait until the cholesterol has passed Wuhan and reached the lower reaches of Jiangsu, Zhejiang. It's too late to prevent it. This principle is the same as gray hair, pay attention early, prevent and control early, don't come to control when the snow is full of snow, it is too late!
Prevention starts with keeping your mouth shut:
1. Develop good eating habits.
Eat more fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nut and plant foods; eat less fatty, fried, fast food, cream cakes, biscuits, chocolate, ice cream and other trans fatty acid foods. The harm of trans fatty acids is to reduce the good high-density protein in the body, increase the bad low-density protein, help the evil, increase the number of bad cholesterol in the blood.
2. Drink plenty of water.
The function of drinking water is to replenish water in the body, improve metabolic function; help thin blood and reduce blood viscosity. In addition to meeting the normal amount of water to drink during the day, patients with three highs must also drink 300ml after getting up in the morning, 100-200ml before going to bed at night, and 100ml even during the night. These three time periods are the best time to improve blood viscosity and clear blood vessel sludge.
3. Stay away from tobacco and alcohol to promote health
Medicine has long believed that smoking and drinking are one of the factors that induce cardiovascular disease. Whether it is nicotine in tobacco or ethanol in alcohol, excessive intake can cause arterial constriction and spasm, causing blood clots.
After you stop your mouth, you must exercise more.
Energy conservation is the law of life and health. If you eat too much and lack exercise, your body's metabolism is not smooth, excessive nutrients are deposited in the body, and blood vessels are blocked. Fatty liver, big belly, thick waist, and blood vessels can be transparent? Can blood flow freely?
For people who want to have jet-black and beautiful hair, knowing the above-mentioned reason, shouldn't it be better to start from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to prevent sedimentation of blood vessels? Youth has missed the upper reaches, and it’s still too late from the midstream: reasonable diet, proper exercise, daily combing of the scalp, head acupuncture massage before going to bed, and conditions to go to the hair salon for a head treatment once a week, and a scalp soothing. These are all A good way to prevent vascular stasis!
