In the hot summer, Mr. Zhou was sitting in the consultation room, wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead from time to time, as an accountant, his work was busy and stressful, and as he got older, his body began to show some conditions.
"Mr. Zhou, have you been feeling any well lately?" The doctor asked.
"Yes, doctor." Mr. Zhou sighed, "Recently, I often feel chest tightness, shortness of breath, and I also feel very difficult to walk. "
The doctor nodded and handed him a medical checklist. "Your symptoms sound like a heart problem that needs to be further investigated."
A week later, the results of the examination were finally in. Sure enough, Mr. Zhou suffers from coronary heart disease, a common heart disease caused by insufficient blood supply to the coronary arteries, which can lead to complications such as myocardial infarction if not properly treated.
"Doctor, what should I do? I'm really worried. Mr. Zhou's brow furrowed.
"Relax, Mr. Zhou. As long as you follow the doctor's instructions and cooperate with the treatment, coronary heart disease can be controlled," the doctor comforted, "However, you need to change some lifestyle habits, such as..."
Although heart disease cannot be completely cured, as long as you maintain a good lifestyle and seek medical attention regularly, you can effectively control the condition and avoid acute attacks. Here, we focus on the three types of drinks that heart disease patients should stay away from in the summer.
1. Honey water
Honey may seem natural and healthy, but it contains quite a bit of sugar. Excessive sugar intake not only increases the burden on the heart, but also may lead to complications such as obesity and high blood pressure, further increasing the risk of heart disease.
In addition, honey will also increase the content of cholesterol and triglycerides in the body, increasing the burden on blood circulation, especially for people with heart disease who already suffer from high blood lipids, drinking honey water is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.
2. Ice-cold drinks
In the scorching heat, many people like to drink cold Coke, Sprite and other thirst quenching, however, these drinks contain a lot of refined sugar and artificial additives, which are not only high in calories, easy to lead to obesity, but also increase the burden on the heart.
To make matters worse, cold drinks can cause blood to clot suddenly, increasing the risk of myocardial infarction. Studies have found that the likelihood of myocardial infarction increases by 23% within 1 hour of consuming an ice-cold drink.
3. Strong tea
For ordinary people, drinking tea in moderation has a certain health care effect. However, if you have heart disease, especially coronary heart disease, you should stay away from those highly concentrated teas.
The reason is that tea contains more caffeine. Caffeine has the effect of making the heart beat faster and raising blood pressure, which can increase the load on the heart and cause discomfort such as chest pain and palpitations.
Although drinking only a small amount of black tea will not be too much of a problem, some people's habit of drinking tea is too fierce, and drinking a few cups of strong tea is undoubtedly a torture for their hearts.
Of course, in addition to staying away from the above three drinks, heart disease patients also need to control their diet reasonably, eat less high-salt and high-fat foods, stay away from cigarettes, and exercise moderately. After all, healthy lifestyle habits are essential for managing the condition.
If you have heart disease patients in your family, please also pay more attention to prepare some light bitter gourd soup, mung bean soup and other thirst-quenching drinks for them in summer. The doctor said very reasonably, life is the most precious, everything is to live longer and healthier.
