As an authoritative cardiac surgeon, how will you take care of your cardiovascular health? Wang Shuishen, the director of Fuda Hospital, is just like his approachable personality. His approach to health care is also very approachable. It is a simple method that you and I can immediately practice by closing the book.
Since the first heart transplant was completed in 1987, Shuishen has performed nearly 600 heart transplants, and this record is still ahead of Asian countries. The authority of heart transplantation naturally has a deep understanding of the health of cardiovascular diseases. However, cardiac surgeons can be said to be the group with the greatest time pressure in the medical field, because once a patient has a heart attack, the treatment process must be to race against time without hesitation.
Wang Shuishen therefore smiled and said that even as a doctor, he knew more about health care than ordinary people, but he usually had much less chance of being on standby in the hospital than ordinary people.
Start the easiest thing: take ten thousand steps a day to activate blood vessels
However, things are not without a turning point. Wang Shuishen felt that instead of missing the days when he went out to climb the mountain, he might as well look around him: Since he had to be on standby in the hospital, then exercise in the hospital! Since beds often come in and out of the surgical room, the space planning is generally relatively large, he walked around the corridor outside the operating room during the gap between different operations and during the cleaning and maintenance of the operating room, and slowly developed the habit of walking ten thousand steps a day.
is simple and effective: Wang Shuishen said that research points out that taking 10,000 steps a day can activate the operation of the whole body, which is beneficial to the cardiovascular, metabolism, and the whole body. It is better if you can take 15,000 steps.
, especially exercise, you must persist. Sports like golf are subject to many restrictions on time and venue, and are actually less likely to continue. However, walking can be performed at any time, even if you go abroad for a business trip, you can not be affected. Walking is the easiest exercise to develop habits.
Tai Chi revitalizes the body and relieves stress!
Tai Chi is also another way of health care for Royal Shuishen. In particular, for the oriental medicine and health care methods such as Tai Chi and acupuncture, Royal Shuishen, who is a Western medicine doctor, does not reject the medical and health care at all, and even has a lot of roots.
It turns out that Wang Shuishen had been in contact with acupuncture in college and had a free medical consultation. Once, he was acupuncture on the "Zusanli" point on the landlord's leg for two or three days. Interestingly, the constipation was cured for many years. He believed that it should be because of the constipation of qi and blood. He deeply felt that traditional Chinese medicine also has mysteries and should be carried forward. The same is true for Tai Chi. In fact, Harvard Medical School once recommended Tai Chi, believing that Tai Chi is beneficial to heart and lung function and blood circulation.
Wang Shuishen’s personal experience is that when you are older, you can use Tai Chi to overcome hardness by using softness to transform the hardness; Tai Chi is also a stretching exercise, and the slower the movement, the better. Although it only takes half an hour to hit a punch, you will still sweat. You can feel the qi and blood in your body, and the whole body is comfortable. It can be seen that Tai Chi can both defend yourself and exercise.
In addition to revitalizing the body, Wang Shuishen also attaches importance to the impact of Tai Chi's philosophy of life on him. Tai Chi should wait for an opportunity to move, wait for the opportunity to "exert force"; it should also be focused and consistent, similar to meditation, slow work and meticulous work. This process can calm the mood, and the mind can be as clear as the muscles and bones, and many things can be realized, which can be effective in alleviating stress, and relieve stress is one of the key points of cardiovascular health care.
Both nutrients and metabolic waste are transported by blood vessels!
0,000 steps and Tai Chi are actually just part of the health care rules of "five and one, no, three must". He is busy with work every day and will also enter the 70th mark, but Wang Shuishen is still strong and the results of the health examination not long ago were also quite beautiful. All this comes from a deep understanding of cardiac and vascular health.
For this, Shuishen has a very lifelike metaphor. "The blood vessels are like water pipes in a building. If the water pipes in a building are not connected, it is like water cut off." If there is no water in a building, it will be difficult for every household to maintain normal operation. These households are like 60 trillion cells in the human body.Wang Shuishen further explained that the energy source required by cells in various parts of the body is entirely caused by the heart to send blood, arterial blood vessels to the whole body, and then sent back to the heart by venous blood vessels.
Archite blood vessels deliver nutrients to the whole body, and they also need to be delivered to every corner of the body through microvascular vessels; on the other hand, metabolic waste is recycled, concentrated in the venous blood vessels, and sent back to the liver, kidney and other organs for processing. Microvascular and arteriovascular and veins must be divided into work and cooperation to maintain good operation of the human body.
Just like water pipes cannot rust or damage, blood vessels must be kept in good condition like water pipes. Huang Shuishen pointed out that the health of blood vessels must be elastic, and they must be able to stretch and retract according to needs and maintain smooth blood flow in order to send nutrients and waste to the places they should go.
Blood vessels must be stretched and retracted freely to respond to psychological needs!
Why do blood vessels need to be flexible? Wang Shuishen said that it can be viewed in two levels. As for internal factors, for example, when a person is in a tense state, the body will secrete adrenaline, which will cause blood vessels to contract and prepare to respond to possible changes;
On the contrary, in the face of myocardial infarction with coronary artery stenosis and obstruction, the blood vessels themselves will secrete substances to promote blood vessels to dilate to solve the crisis, and the nervous system will also assist in dilation of blood vessels. Otherwise, if the blood supply is not obtained in time for ten to twenty minutes, the heart muscles may die.
As for external factors, weather and warm weather are important factors. For example, in winter, there are particularly many cases of emergency cardiovascular and vascular vascular diseases, which is a specific example of the problems of vascular expansion and contraction. In addition, when we are irritated by other people and things, we can also cause vasospasm and contraction.
Body softness affects blood vessel elasticity!
The softness and hardness of the blood vessels themselves will affect the ability to adapt to the various needs of the body. Huang Shuishen pointed out that blood will be shot from the heart to supply the whole body and will encounter many resistances. The stiffness of the blood vessels themselves is one of the reasons for resistance. It’s like the blood pressure will be higher in winter because of blood vessels contraction, which will create more resistance.
If the hardness of blood vessels is so important, we should naturally pay more attention to the health care methods that can maintain blood vessels health. In addition to maintaining good diet and living habits, Shuishen also reminds us that the body's softness has a positive impact on blood vessels, which can reduce the resistance caused by blood flow: body stiffness will affect arteries and veins, but it does have the greatest impact on microvascular, because microvascular works on the front line and its function is to exchange and process various substances: nutrients and wastes:.
Wang Shuishen’s way of life maintenance: five, one, three, three,
Five: Say no to hypertension, high blood sugar, high blood lipids, obesity, smoking
These five items are high-risk factors that affect cardiovascular health and should be avoided.
1 No: People should maintain moderate pressure, but excessive long-term pressure will increase blood pressure and blood sugar, affecting blood vessel health.
Three must
Balanced diet: Don’t eat too much, be refined, less sugar, salt, and oil, eat more green vegetables, and less greasy fries. Wang Shuishen often eats rhizomes, and has a variety of ingredients. He drinks fruit and vegetable juice for breakfast. The fiber is more beneficial to health. Fried foods are not very delicious, but you don’t feel troubled when you develop a habit.
Proper exercise: Exercise three times a week, thirty minutes each time, to revitalize the body and continue to do better every day. What you can do every day is good exercise.
Regular life: Research has confirmed the importance of physiological clocks to human health. Regular life every day and not disturb the body's operation process are the basic requirements for ensuring health.
