When it comes to aging, many people's first reaction is facial aging, facial skin, sagging, sagging, wrinkles, etc., although this is a typical manifestation of aging, but in addition to paying attention to external aging, but also pay attention to the problem of blood vessel aging. The importance of blood vessels is naturally self-evident, through blood vessels to transport blood to various organs of the body, supply blood, oxygen, and provide nutrition to each organ. Vascular aging is very harmful, let's learn more about it.
1. What are the dangers of vascular aging?
Aging of blood vessels will make blood vessels brittle and hard, will increase blood pressure, lead to atherosclerosis, and atherosclerosis, will make blood vessels brittle and hard, forming a vicious circle. Vascular aging also affects the blood supply to various organs, leading to ischemic necrosis or functional decline of organs and limbs. Aging blood vessels can also cause varicose veins, which affect people to stand and walk. If it is aortic sclerosis, it can also cause thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysm, which endangers human life, and if it is carotid arteriosclerosis, it will cause cerebral ischemia and cerebral infarction, which is also dangerous.
Second, what are the phenomena of vascular aging?
1. Abnormal skin color
Normal yellowish and rosy skin is a sign of normal arterial blood supply, and recent pale or purple skin indicates narrowing of blood vessels. In particular, mitral stenosis reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood, causing abnormal redness on the face.
2. Chest tightness and chest pain
The role of the coronary artery is to supply blood to the myocardium, once coronary atherosclerosis, the elasticity of the blood vessel wall decreases, then it will affect the blood flow, resulting in temporary ischemia and hypoxia of the myocardium, and eventually chest tightness and chest pain. Acute occlusion of blood vessels can cause acute myocardial infarction, leading to myocardial necrosis or heart failure.
3. Yawn often
Yawning is normal, especially if you are sleep-deprived or tired. If the number of yawns is too frequent, you should be alert to cerebral ischemia, due to the aging of blood vessels, the blood vessel wall hardens, and the blood flow to the cerebral arteries is reduced, so as to yawn continuously.
4. Swelling of the lower limbs
Atherosclerosis of the lower extremities predisposes to numbness of the toes, fatigue and pain of the lower extremities, as well as intermittent claudication.
5. Easy nosebleeds
There are a large number of blood vessels distributed in the nasal cavity, and narrowing or blockage of blood vessels can increase the pressure at the front end, which can easily cause blood vessels to rupture, resulting in nosebleeds.
Third, what tips can be used if you want to make blood vessels age slowly?
1. Maintain healthy eating habits
As the saying goes, disease comes from the mouth, and the aging of blood vessels is the same, which is also related to unhealthy eating habits. To maintain a healthy diet, do not always eat big fish and meat, reduce the intake of red meat, and eat more white meat. Reduce the intake of animal fat and eat some vegetable fat appropriately. Drink more water, eat more fresh food, eat less processed foods, and eat less pickled and grilled foods. It is healthier to control your food intake, avoid overeating, and eat eight minutes full per meal.
2. Get rid of bad habits
There are many unhealthy habits in life that can promote the aging of blood vessels. Take smoking and drinking, long-term smoking, nicotine, tar and other harmful components in tobacco will damage the blood vessel wall, will make the blood vessel wall rough. The same is true for drinking, long-term drinking will not only make the liver very injured, but also affect blood lipids and other metabolism, affect the elasticity of blood vessels, and make the elasticity of blood vessels worse.
3. Insist on sports
If you want to make the blood vessels age slowly, but also maintain good exercise habits, there is no need to pursue high-intensity exercise, moderate can be. You can choose running, skipping rope, climbing, badminton and other sports, according to your own preferences and actual situation, the one that suits you is the best.
There is another small trick that can be recommended to everyone, that is, drink health tea that is good for vascular health. When it comes to health tea that protects blood vessels, we have to mention green field willow and corn whiskers. Green willow can expand blood vessels, promote blood circulation, in addition to it also has the effect of clearing heat and detoxification. The same is true of corn whiskers, corn must have diuretic function, eliminate edema while lowering high blood pressure, and can also achieve the purpose of protecting blood vessels.
