With the arrival of winter, the temperature keeps dropping and the weather is getting colder and colder. In addition to the high incidence of influenza in winter, the most serious thing is the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. When the weather is cold, the blood vessels will constrict and the blood pressure will rise, which will put a lot of pressure on the blood vessels and the heart.
Speaking of the reasons for the high incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, the first must be hyperlipidemia. According to statistics, more than 4 million people die from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases caused by hyperlipidemia every year. Winter is the season of high incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction, and myocardial infarction. Therefore, it is very important to protect the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular in winter, and it is also a great test for people with chronic diseases.
1. When blood lipids rise, there will be two “signals” in the body. You must pay close attention to self-examination
1. Eyelid xanthelasma< /strong>
Excessive accumulation of lipids in the body may penetrate the capillary wall and leak out of the skin outside the body. Human skin is thinnest only on the eyelids. Therefore, people with high blood lipids have yellow or orange plaques on the eyelids, which are the size of rice grains, which is a sign of damaged blood vessels.
2. Leg cramps
Many people have had this experience. They wake up suddenly in their sleep and have leg cramps. When the blood fat rises to a certain level, the body fat mass increases, especially when the human body is at rest at night. When fat builds up in the leg muscles, cramping and numbness can occur, and you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
Second, stick to these things in winter, maintain blood vessels, and stay away from hyperlipidemia
1. Add “one thing” to warm water
Eating enough water every day will help promote blood circulation and excrete excess lipids in the body. Taking the nutrients of white grass oleic acid with warm water can significantly reduce blood lipids, protect the health of blood vessels, enhance the elasticity of blood vessels, soften the walls of blood vessels, and inhibit the formation of thrombus and plaque. Taking Hedyotis diffusa oleic acid can reduce the content of cholesterol and triglycerides. It contains linoleic acid and sterol esters, which directly inhibit the formation of lipids and cholesterol, and inhibit the deposition of lipids on the blood vessel wall, thereby reducing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. incidence rate.
2. Don’t cover the heavy quilt
Pressing the heavy quilt on the body will not only affect breathing, but also affect the blood circulation of the whole body, which will easily lead to cerebral palsy. Internal blood circulation is blocked or hypoxic, increasing brain pressure. Therefore, the elderly should remember not to cover the heavy quilt when sleeping in winter.
Finally, to ensure the quality of sleep, keeping 8 hours of sleep every day will help Promote the completion of the body’s metabolism, and have a certain gain effect on stabilizing blood lipids. In addition, you must not stay up late. A reasonable work and rest is another important guarantee for stabilizing vascular function, and middle-aged and elderly people should pay more attention to it.
