Usually, after women enter the age of 30-35, skin aging has begun to appear, and the functions of various organs in the body have begun to decline.
When a woman enters the age group of 45-55 years old, the ovaries will quickly begin to age and decline in function, and once the follicles in the ovaries are exhausted, or the follicles cannot respond to gonadotropins, they will no longer ovulate and produce estrogen. Affected by this change, the uterus has no re-metabolism, and women have completely entered the menopause period and bid farewell to reproductive function.
Not only that, a large number of research surveys have shown that women entering menopause and complete menopause will also increase their chances of suffering from "cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases".
Because the level of estrogen in women after menopause is quite low, this will lead to an increase in LDL cholesterol index, and the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular blood vessels cannot be protected by estrogen, and they are vulnerable to injury.
Moreover, women's menopause is actually a stage of excessive middle age to old age, even if there is no menopause, all organs of the body have begun to age, and the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems are no exception.
Affected by aging, decreased estrogen levels, unhealthy living and eating habits, the probability of women having three highs after menopause, atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will increase significantly.
So the question is, what do menopausal women do to minimize the risk of cardiovascular disease?
1. Healthy eating
All kinds of nutrients needed by the human body actually come from various foods that we consume every day. Whether the food choice is healthy or not is directly related to the health of the body. For menopausal women, if they don't want to find their diseases, they should start with diet to adjust.
And diet adjustment is also very simple answer, what we have to do is to ensure the regularity of three meal intake on the basis of nutritional balance, the protein, vitamins and minerals, trace elements and dietary fiber are reasonably matched in the three meals, increase the proportion of vitamins and fiber in the diet, reduce the intake of greasy food, high-calorie food, high-sugar food;
2. Weight control
There are many postmenopausal women who think that they have entered the aging period and are completely necessary to be more demanding on weight, so they begin to let go of the development of obesity.
As everyone knows, obesity is an independent risk factor for hypertension and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and the more the weight of the elderly exceeds the standard, the greater the chance of suffering from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, even if the face is aging, everyone can not ignore the weight management, it is very necessary to control the mouth and open the legs;
3. Control of primary disease
The appearance of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is not sudden, whether it is cerebral infarction or myocardial infarction, it is actually based on atherosclerosis. The cause of atherosclerosis can be traced back to hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and other diseases.
Therefore, if a woman has been diagnosed with such a disease, it is necessary to actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment, especially in patients with hypertension, can not ignore the medication, only the primary disease control is stable, in order to reduce the chance of later disease.
Finally, we should remind everyone that menopause is originally a manifestation of the arrival of aging, at this time all organs of the body have entered a stage of gradual aging and functional decline.
Therefore, women should do the above points after menopause, and at the same time, they also need to maintain an optimistic and cheerful attitude and regular physical exercise, so as to minimize the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
