With the advancement of society and technology, the average life span of human beings is getting longer and longer, but there is a disease whose high mortality rate seriously affects our average life span. This disease is cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. Surveys show that There are 350 million patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease in my country, which is equivalent to one in every four people suffering from the disease.

Today Heye Health will talk to you about how we should prevent and treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Cause factors of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases
The incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is related to the following factors:
. Genetic factors
Research found that people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases among their relatives are more than 10 times more likely to suffer from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases than those without cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases among their relatives.
2. Age factors
As age increases, people's physiological functions gradually decline, vascular elasticity gradually becomes weaker, and the elderly have increased the chance of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases .
3. Dietary factors
When we consume a large amount of food that is difficult to digest, it will cause the accumulation of fat and cholesterol foods, especially after we increase our age, our digestive ability becomes weaker, which is easy to cause digestive accumulation. Over time, it is easy to cause thrombosis. If the thrombosis occurs, it will cause paralysis and hemiplegia, and if it is severe, it will cause sudden death.
4. Lifestyle
Unhealthy lifestyles such as long-term smoking and alcoholism will be more likely to cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases than normal lifestyles. , especially when treating people with hypertension, the most common method is to ban smoking and quit drinking. Smoking can lead to an increase in the secretion of adrenaline in humans, which in turn promotes platelet aggregation, triggers atherosclerosis, and leads to a significant increase in blood pressure.
In addition, if occurs in large emotional fluctuations, it will also lead to a decrease in the capacity of free fatty acids, fibers and cholesterol in the body, increase in blood clotting, thicken blood, and increase the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Therefore, controlling emotions and stabilizing blood pressure is a common practice to reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Prevention method of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease
. Smoking and quitting alcohol
mentioned earlier that people who smoke and drink heavily are more likely to suffer from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. Long-term smoking can easily lead to atherosclerosis, while alcoholism can easily accelerate arteriosclerosis, causing hyperlipidemia and hypertension. Therefore, in life we try to quit smoking and drinking, create a good living environment, and thus reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
2. Control weight
study found that if the weight increases by 10%, the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will increase by 5%. If you are overweight, you should actively participate in physical exercise and lose weight. Appropriate exercise can promote body metabolism, but be careful not to exercise too early in the morning to avoid the system being still in a suppressed state. At this time, forced exercise in the body can induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

3. Reasonable life
Ensure a reasonable pace of life, Diet should be as thick and thin as possible, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and increase the intake of vitamins and dietary fiber. sufficiently supplements high-quality protein and calcium substances to reduce salt intake.
It is especially important to note that in late autumn and winter, the temperature is cold and the body's metabolism is slow. Pay attention to keeping warm to prevent cold air from stimulating blood vessels and causing diseases.
4. Good mentality
Research shows that maintains a good mentality, which helps the stability of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, in our daily life, we should arrange our daily work reasonably, maintain a good mentality, face trivial matters correctly, and prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

5. Drug prevention
In the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, aspirin plays an important role, and many patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases need to take it for a long time. But here I would like to remind everyone not to take medicine at will. Please consult a doctor in a regular hospital and take medicine as prescribed by the doctor.
