Arteriosclerosis is a slow-moving disease, after the onset of dizziness, chest tightness and other conditions, and the arterial vascular wall will continue to thicken, as the disease continues to worsen, it will harden and gradually lose elasticity, and eventually lead to the problem of lumen stenosis.
Although the harm of this disease to the body does not seem to be large, but if it is not cured for a long time, it will induce other complications, so it must be actively treated after the disease, and usually pay more attention to prevent the emergence of arteriosclerosis.
What are the 5 things you need to do to stay away from arteriosclerosis?
1. Quit smoking and alcohol
Many people know that smoking and drinking alcohol are easy to hurt the body, but once you are infected with these two bad habits, it is very difficult to quit completely.
However, long-term smoking and drinking can easily lead to arteriosclerosis disease, because the toxins and alcohol in the smoke can easily damage cardiovascular endothelial cells, which in turn leads to myocardial hypertrophy, thickening, and induces arterioles to be in a spasmodic state, which eventually leads to arteriosclerosis disease.
In addition, because smoke contains carbon monoxide, long-term smoking can easily lead to hypoxia of endothelial cells in the blood vessel wall, which is also one of the key factors leading to arteriosclerosis.
Especially in people who drink too much alcohol, it will also lead to high blood pressure, arrhythmias and other diseases, which will induce spasms in cerebral blood vessels, which in turn will lead to the emergence of insufficient cerebral blood supply;
If not treated in a timely and effective manner, it will also increase the probability of cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral thrombotic disease.
2. Soothe emotions
Emotions have a great impact on physical health, if you have been in a state of tension, then it is easy to cause the sympathetic nervous system to be in a state of excitement;
This can lead to a rapid heartbeat, increased blood pressure, and increased vasoconstriction, which can affect blood flow.
Over time, it is easy to cause damage and narrowing of blood vessels, which in turn can induce arteriosclerosis disease.
3. Control salt intake
There are many people in life whose tastes are particularly heavy, when eating, if there is no sauce or pickles, it is difficult to swallow, do not know that if you often eat some foods with high salt content, it is not only easy to affect the gastrointestinal and kidney function, but also cause great harm to blood vessels.
Because sodium chloride in table salt stimulates hyperplatelets in the blood, it will increase the probability of arteriosclerosis and cerebral thrombosis.
4. Reduce fat intake
Many people like to eat fried food, as well as some foods with high fat content, although these foods will make people appetite greatly increased, but if you eat high-fat foods for a long time, it is easy to cause a lot of fat in the body, which will produce some adverse harm to the body.
For example, high body fat content will induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, cerebral thrombosis, cerebral hemorrhage, arteriosclerosis and other diseases, facing the harm of physical health are very large.
5. Active exercise
Exercise is a means of maintaining physical health, whether it is young or old, usually should pay more attention to exercise, such as you can participate in some moderate intensity of physical exercise, jogging, walking, running, etc. can play a role in exercising.
People who exercise for a long time can not only enhance their physique and immunity, but also have a very good effect on the prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as arteriosclerosis.
The above introduces 5 ways to prevent arteriosclerosis disease, in fact, these methods are more common, as long as you can stick to it, you can stay away from arteriosclerosis.
Especially for some elderly people with weak physical fitness, they should usually develop healthy and reasonable diet and living habits, and should also go to the hospital regularly for physical examination, only in this way can they understand the vascular state at any time, and it also has a good effect on preventing arteriosclerosis.
