While many people are enjoying the sunshine in the hot summer, people with cardiovascular disease need to be extra careful. Especially in the current pace of work, many designers often stay up late and work overtime in order to catch up with the progress of the project, which has led to the challenge of many people's cardiovascular health.
Many designers who usually work under pressure and often need to stay up all night, most of them feel chest tightness and shortness of breath after a period of time, and the first check is the initial high blood pressure, which the doctor says is closely related to their lifestyle habits.
Let's talk about eating habits, irregular eating time, high-fat, high-salt foods, these are the "good friends" of cardiovascular diseases, you see those who like to work until midnight to eat greasy takeaway, for a long time, the results of blood lipid test are not ideal, doctors remind that such eating habits can easily lead to arteriosclerosis and increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events.

People who sit in the office are rarely active, and sitting for a long time not only affects the health of the lower back, but also poses a challenge to the cardiovascular system. Studies have shown that long-term sedentary will increase inflammatory factors in the human body, which is extremely detrimental to the cardiovascular system.
Imagine that if a designer who is used to sitting for more than 8 hours a day does not regulate his cardiovascular health with a moderate amount of exercise, his cardiovascular health will gradually decline.
Also mention psychological stress. Psychological stress is an important factor leading to cardiovascular disease, high work pressure, mood swings, these can lead to increased blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, over time, is a big test for the heart.
It seems that bad habits in life do have a big impact on the cardiovascular system. Although everyone's lifestyle is different, it is necessary for everyone to adjust their lifestyle habits and maintain healthy cardiovascular function. That's why, albeit fictional examples, the situations we've mentioned are all worth all of caution.
When it comes to cardiovascular health, especially in the hot summer, there are a few things that people with cardiovascular disease need to pay special attention to. The heat wave is coming, and the pressure of high temperatures on the cardiovascular system should not be underestimated. Let me mention some points that you may not expect, but are very important.
Those who have heart problems, if they stay in the sun for a long time in the hot summer, their heart will be under more stress, and a person with cardiovascular instability may take a turn for the worse if they don't pay attention to hydration in the hot summer.
Although ice-cold drinks can cool down quickly, for people with cardiovascular disease, excessively cold drinks can irritate the throat and stomach, which may cause angina. It is recommended to choose room temperature water or slightly cooler water, which can not only avoid irritation, but also effectively replenish the lost water.
Next, let's talk about dressing, in summer, light and breathable is of course preferred, but for patients with cardiovascular disease, care should also be taken not to expose the body directly to strong sunlight.
Ultraviolet rays are harmful to the skin on the one hand, and more importantly, strong light will cause body temperature to rise and increase the burden on the heart, so you must wear a hat and long-sleeved clothes when you go out, and try to choose light-colored, reflective, and less heat-absorbing clothing. This not only protects the skin, but also helps regulate body temperature and reduce the burden on the heart.
Also, when it comes to travel, many people with cardiovascular disease may overlook this – avoiding hot periods. The hours from noon to the afternoon are usually the hottest hours of the day.
Cardiovascular patients should avoid going out during this time, as high temperatures can not only cause heat stroke, but also cardiovascular events due to difficulty regulating body temperature.
Let's talk about emergency response, for cardiovascular patients, you should carry some essential medicines with you when you go out in the summer, such as nitroglycerin and other rescue medicines.
At the same time, family members or friends should know how to provide initial help in the event of a cardiovascular event and make sure they have emergency contact information on their phones so that they can ask for help in time.
With these specific measures, patients with cardiovascular diseases can enjoy the summer more safely, the measures that we have mentioned may seem simple, but they are very practical and necessary, based on medical knowledge and the results of long-term observations.
In the topic of cardiovascular health management, in addition to daily exercise and dietary adjustment, there is actually another area that is often overlooked, that is, daily drinking water.
However, instead of simple water, it can be boiled into a drink with some specific ingredients, which may have significant benefits for cardiovascular health. Today, let's talk about a few less common but great cardiovascular drinks.
The first is Astragalus Longan Tea. Astragalus, as a traditional qi-tonifying herb, has significant benefits for the normal functioning of the cardiovascular system, it can help enhance the heart's pumping function and improve blood circulation.
In addition, longan, which is rich in iron and vitamins, can effectively improve blood quality, and has a certain effect on preventing and treating anemia and promoting blood circulation.
This kind of tea not only tastes sweet, but also helps cardiovascular health. Imagine a cup of warm astragalus longan tea on a hot summer afternoon, which can not only replenish qi and nourish blood, but also stabilize the mood, why not?
Next up is jujube green tea, which has been a blood tonic since ancient times, and is rich in vitamin C and iron, which can effectively help improve the body's immunity and replenish the nutrients needed by the blood.
Green tea, on the other hand, is known to contain a lot of antioxidants, which can help lower blood pressure and improve blood lipid status. Combining red dates with green tea can not only relieve the bitterness of green tea, but also add a bit of sweetness, which is a good choice for cardiovascular patients who are used to drinking tea.
Then there is the hawthorn tangerine peel drink. Hawthorn is a good helper for lipid lowering and weight loss, and it can also promote heart function and enhance the elasticity of blood vessels. Tangerine peel, as a commonly used Chinese herbal medicine, can help regulate the stomach and intestines, remove dampness from the body and promote the flow of qi and blood.
This combination of drinks not only helps digestion, but also helps regulate blood lipids and prevent cardiovascular diseases. Especially after a diet rich in oil, a cup of hawthorn tangerine peel drink can help reduce the burden on the stomach and clean up the oil in the blood vessels, which is good for health.
Finally, let's talk about barley honey water. Barley is used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat edema and strengthen spleen function, while it also has a good hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effect.
Combined with the moisturizing and intestinal effects of honey, this drink can be used as a daily health drink, helping to regulate dampness in the body, promote metabolism, and also help cardiovascular maintenance.
Through these concrete examples, we can see that improving cardiovascular health is not limited to conventional methods. These particular drinks, while may not be very common in our daily lives, their potential benefits for cardiovascular health are enormous. I hope that everyone can enjoy these delicious foods while also feeling their positive impact on health.
