Fast heartbeatThe speed of heartbeat is closely related to life expectancy. Sun Ningling, chief physician of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Peking University People’s Hospital, introduced in an interview with Health Times in 2013 that long-term rapid heart rate can cause insulin resistance, which in turn leads to increases in blood pressure and blood sugar; tachycardia increases the work of the heart and puts pressure on large blood vessels Strengthening can also lead to aggravation of atherosclerosis. ⑩2. Eat fastChief physician, Department of Nutrition, Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University Lei Min pointed out in an article in Health Times in 2019 that if you eat too fast, the food will enter the gastrointestinal tract without sufficient chewing, which will cause a burden on the gastrointestinal tract, which will easily lead to a decline in digestion and absorption, resulting in weight loss and gastrointestinal discomfort.

At this time, if you drink a lot of water all of a sudden, the burden on the digestive system and circulatory system will suddenly increase, which will easily lead to increased blood pressure and insufficient blood supply to important organs such as the brain. It may induce adverse consequences such as heart failure and stroke. “4 highs” – poor control of “four highs”< /span>1. Uncontrolled “hypertension”Uncontrolled hypertension can easily lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases ! According to the Guidelines for Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Diseases in my country, hypertension is the primary and modifiable risk factor leading to an increase in cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality among Chinese residents, with about 50% of cardiovascular disease morbidity and 20% of cardiovascular disease deaths attributed to high blood pressure. 2. Poorly controlled “hyperlipidemia” Cholesterol and triglycerides are closely related to blood lipids in clinical practice. Hypercholesterolemia is atheroscleroticIt is an important prerequisite for sclerotic plaque, and atherosclerotic plaque is the main basis for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. 3. Poorly controlled “hyperglycemia”Diabetes is not getting better control, can cause a variety of complications. Wu Donghong, chief physician of the Department of Endocrinology, Harbin First Hospital, pointed out in an article in Health Times in 2019 that in addition to retinopathy, diabetic foot, diabetic nephropathy and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications, In fact, there are many unexpected complications, such as cognitive dysfunction, hearing loss, osteoporosis and so on. 4.

Li Shengguang, chief physician of the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, Peking University International Hospital, said in an interview with Health Times in 2018 that gout not only hurts people’s lives, but also causes tophi, joint damage, and more serious of kidney damage.
