Symptoms of Vascular Patency

Symptoms of vascular patency include unobstructed breathing, absence of numbness in hands and feet, no persistent dizziness or headache, normal vision, and abundant energy. The first manifestation is unobstructed breathing without a sense of urgency. Whether the blood vessels are patent or not has a direct impact on lung breathing. People with patent blood vessels generally do not experience shortness of breath or asthma, and their breathing is relatively smooth. When there is a blockage in the blood vessels of the lungs, the body may experience oxygen deficiency, leading to difficulty breathing. Therefore, it is necessary to frequently monitor whether our breathing is smooth.

The second manifestation is the absence of numbness in the hands and feet. If the blood vessels are patent, it indicates that there is sufficient blood flow in the blood without stagnation. In this case, numbness in the hands and feet generally does not occur. However, if there is a blockage in the blood vessels, the hands and feet may experience coldness, numbness, and pain, and severe cases may result in stiffness of the limbs.

The third manifestation is the absence of persistent dizziness or headache. People with unobstructed blood supply to the brain generally do not experience dizziness or headache, and their logical thinking is not confused. If there is poor blood supply to the brain and blockage in the blood vessels, headache and dizziness may persist.

The fourth manifestation is normal vision. If the blood vessels are smooth, blood can flow normally into the capillaries, providing timely and sufficient blood supply to the capillaries, resulting in normal vision. If there is a blockage in the blood vessels, the capillaries cannot receive timely and sufficient blood supply, leading to decreased vision and blurred vision.

The fifth manifestation is abundant energy and not easily feeling tired. If the blood vessels are patent, various organs and tissues in the body can receive timely and sufficient nutrition and oxygen supply, resulting in a state where they do not easily feel fatigued. If there is a blockage in the blood vessels, many organs may not receive timely and sufficient nutrition and oxygen supply, leading to a state of fatigue in various parts of the body.

Balanced diet is an important principle for preventing and treating vascular sclerosis. The total caloric intake of the diet should not be excessive, maintaining a normal weight. Individuals over 30 years old should especially prevent obesity. Those who exceed the normal standard weight should reduce the total daily caloric intake, consume a low-fat diet, and limit sugar intake. Animal fats or foods with high cholesterol content, especially fatty meat and animal viscera such as liver, kidneys, brain, and heart, should be consumed in small amounts or avoided. The diet should include appropriate amounts of animal protein (such as egg whites, lean meat, fish, chicken, skim milk) and plant protein (such as soybeans, black beans, red beans, bean sprouts, green beans, etc.). The total protein intake should meet the recommended standards of the Chinese Nutrition Society, with protein providing 12% to 15% of the total caloric intake of the diet. Consume more vegetables and fruits, prioritizing green leafy vegetables such as rape, bok choy, oilseed rape, spinach, as well as radish, celery, and leek, which are rich in fiber. Fruits rich in vitamin C, such as hawthorn, kiwi, oranges, and lemons, are also helpful for lowering cholesterol.
