As you age, you are at greater risk of cardiovascular disease. Many older people have varying degrees of arteriosclerosis.
Because the walls of blood vessels in the elderly will slowly thicken and lose elasticity, the lumen will narrow, and eventually arteriosclerosis will form.
If you want to improve the symptoms of arteriosclerosis, you should start with a daily diet and carry out reasonable prevention. So how is arteriosclerosis treated? Insist on doing the following 4 things, the blood vessels will slowly "soften".
1. Carry out physical exercise
Patients with arteriosclerosis should also adhere to physical exercise every day. Usually, you can do some physical activities within your ability, which can promote the health of blood vessels.
Because sitting for a long time can only lead to excessive obesity, but also cause more severe arteriosclerosis. Therefore, patients can improve the condition of arteriosclerosis by jogging as well as dancing and tai chi.
2. Reasonable diet
We all know that all food is ingested from the mouth. But eating some high-fat and high-calorie foods increases the risk of arteriosclerosis.
People with arteriosclerosis should avoid eating these dangerous foods. It is recommended to eat less animal fats, such as lard and fatty meats. You should also eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, eat more light foods, and drink more water.
3. Refuse to smoke
Everyone knows that smoking can cause harm to the body and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Patients with arteriosclerosis should refuse to smoke to avoid worsening of the condition and triggering serious disease.
Patients with arteriosclerosis can usually drink tea and quit smoking and alcohol, which can effectively improve their condition.
4. Reasonable arrangement of life
Patients usually pay attention to the regularity of work and rest, have a good work and rest time, ensure sufficient sleep time, it is best to sleep seven hours a day. At the same time, a pleasant mood should be maintained, which is an important means to improve the condition of arteriosclerosis.
Of course, in addition to taking precautions, you should also know what are the manifestations of arteriosclerosis, so as not to delay the treatment time:
1. Memory loss
Having a good memory will do more with less in work and study. With arteriosclerosis, patients feel inattentive, always upset, and the brain's ability to work is reduced.
Patients will find work and study particularly difficult and forgetful. Think of something one second and forget what to do the next.
2. Dizziness and headache
In the early stages of arteriosclerosis, patients experience dizziness and headache phenomena, usually occurring on the forehead and occipital region. When the position changes, it can aggravate the original dizziness and headache. When walking, you may also feel particularly unstable, and some may even be accompanied by symptoms of difficulty swallowing.
3. Emotional behavior changes
Patients' emotional behavior can easily change, and self-control can become poor. Some people may become irritable and easily quarrel with others.
Some people may become very sluggish and unable to lift their spirits when doing things. This mood change, which can easily cause family discord, has a great impact on patients.
4. Sleep disorders
People with arteriosclerosis will also have some sleep disorders. These sleep disorders are mainly easy to wake up at night, and the sleep time will become shorter and shorter. It takes the average person about half an hour to fall asleep at night, but for people with arteriosclerosis, it can take an hour or more.
It is also easy to dream at night, and if there is a little movement, it is easy to wake up. As a result, some people have to sleep separately from their partners to avoid affecting their sleep.
In summary, arteriosclerosis is very harmful to the body. If it is not prevented in time, it is easy to cause more serious diseases and seriously threaten people's health. In life, it is recommended to exercise reasonably, pay attention to diet and sleep, and maintain a peaceful mood.
If it is found that dizziness and other phenomena do not alleviate, and sleep disorders occur, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination, find out the cause and symptomatic treatment.
