How to Prevent and Treat Cardiovascular Diseases?
The current situation of cardiovascular diseases in China is relatively severe, and the number of patients is also showing an upward trend. This kind of disease poses a great threat to human health. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to prevention and treatment in daily life, which can be approached from several aspects such as limiting salt intake, eating a reasonable diet, exercising regularly, knowing how to self-regulate, avoiding smoking, and undergoing regular check-ups and daily monitoring.
A high-salt diet can increase the incidence of cardiovascular diseases. People with mild hypertension or a family history of hypertension should control their salt intake to less than 5 grams per day. For those with higher blood pressure or congestive heart failure, the daily salt intake should be limited to 1-2 grams.
The concentration of cholesterol in the blood of the elderly gradually increases, and over time it is bound to precipitate on the blood vessel walls, making them thicker, harder, and more brittle, and the inner lining becomes rough, which is extremely prone to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the intake of foods high in cholesterol, such as egg yolks, fish roe, cream, crab roe, fatty meat, animal oil, and animal viscera (intestines, liver, brain, etc.).
If you feel that you have endless things to do every day, then please break up your busy schedule into smaller segments and incorporate physical exercise into the gaps.
Long-term depression or continuous stress can stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, leading to accelerated heartbeat, vasoconstriction, increased blood pressure, and reduced blood flow. Therefore, it is important to avoid mental stress, worry, and anxiety, and cultivate good hobbies and interests to regulate emotions.
Carbon monoxide in cigarettes can cause oxygen deficiency in the endothelial cells of the blood vessel wall, promoting atherosclerosis. Nicotine in cigarettes can also reduce high-density lipoprotein and increase low-density lipoprotein, thereby aggravating atherosclerosis.
People should form a good habit of regular physical examinations and daily monitoring to effectively monitor their health status. This not only allows you to detect diseases in the early stages, but also enables you to develop a good personal healthcare plan based on your own indicators, and improve your health through self-adjustment.
Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases refer to a general term for heart and cerebrovascular diseases, which refer to ischemic or hemorrhagic diseases in the heart, brain, and systemic tissues caused by hyperlipidemia, blood viscosity, atherosclerosis, hypertension, and other factors.
