"Mom and Dad, we are back." Xiao Li and his family opened the door happily and said hello before they could see their parents.
The parents who were busy in the kitchen heard the shouts and hurried out to greet them.
Aunt Li saw that his son had brought up several gift boxes and said with pain: "Look, just go back, spend money to buy so many things."
Daughter-in-law said: "Mom, these supplements are good things. You can soften blood vessels after you eat them and prevent cardiovascular diseases ."
Xiao Li continued: "Yes, yes, your health is our wealth!"
Aunt Li continued, "Then give your dad some more food. He has to drink alcohol every day, and it's just right for these. It's also good to soften blood vessels ."
After hearing this, Li's dad hurriedly retorted, "I only drink a little bit of wine every day, why can I use it to soften blood vessels? And I heard my friend say that drinking less wine every day can soften blood vessels!"
"You old man, you have to make so many excuses for yourself to drink." Aunt Li was angry and was about to argue with Dad Li. Seeing this, the son and daughter-in-law hurriedly persuaded them to stop.
In fact, there are indeed many sayings about softening blood vessels among the people, such as drinking some vinegar, drinking some red wine every day, or eating some fungus , onions and other foods. There are also many drugs for softening blood vessels on the market. Can these methods help the human body soften blood vessels? What is the truth about softening blood vessels?
1. Why do many people want to soften blood vessels?
Softening blood vessels is just a concept for many people. After all, blood vessels grow in the flesh and blood and cannot be seen intuitively by people, but the health of blood vessels is crucial to the human body. After all, blood vessels are responsible for the functions of transporting various nutrients , blood, oxygen to the human body. If there is a problem with the blood vessels, the body's nutritional supply will also be abnormal.
There are many factors that affect the health of blood vessels , such as environment, bad habits, genetics, etc. For example, if a person lives in a polluted environment for a long time, inhaling contaminated air or eating contaminated food will cause damage to blood vessels and cause cardiovascular disease.
In addition, frequent smoking, drinking, overeating, staying up late, or eating foods such as high fat and high calorie will cause excessive stimulation of blood vessels. It not only makes raise blood pressure, blood lipids , blood sugar , but also may reduce the elasticity of blood vessels and cause sclerosis.
If the family has a genetic history of migraine , coronary heart disease , and does not strengthen blood vessel maintenance, the risk of inheritance will be greater. Therefore, in order to prevent the occurrence of vascular disease, we need to understand blood vessels and vascular diseases, and we must also strengthen our awareness of maintaining vascular .
We divide blood vessels into artery, veins, capillary . Various types of blood vessels have different functions. blood vessel itself has a certain elasticity and thickness. It will gradually become harder and thicker with the influence of habitual factors such as age and diet and staying up late. It may also form thrombosis , which will be blocked, causing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases .
For example, diseases related to artery mainly include: atherosclerosis, coronary stenosis , cerebral vascular stenosis, cerebral aneurysm , visceral aneurysm, cerebral infarction , myocardial infarction , etc.
and venous-related diseases mainly include: venous insufficiency, KT syndrome, superficial thrombosis phlebitis , varicose veins in the lower limbs, venous thrombosis in the lower limbs , etc.
No matter which vascular disease is, it may affect the delivery of nutrients in the human body, resulting in the local organs and tissues of cells not being able to obtain nutrient supply, which not only affects its function, but does not receive timely treatment, but may also endanger life.
It is precisely because some people know the dangers of vascular disease, and know that blood vessels need to maintain a certain degree of elasticity and thickness in order to normally transport nutrients and maintain health.Therefore, everyone is very concerned about the issue of softening blood vessels .
2. What is the truth about softening blood vessels?
As living standards increase, the number of confirmed cases of "three highs" diseases is increasing. Some people say that drinking a glass of red wine and some vinegar every day can soften blood vessels, while some people buy health care medicines to maintain blood vessels. However, some statements have deceived Chinese people for 230 years and , and many people have fallen into the misunderstanding of softening blood vessels.
. Drinking red wine to soften blood vessels has no scientific basis.
I believe many people have heard that red wine contains a substance called white resveratrol . This substance enters the body and helps soften blood vessels . Therefore, many people insist on drinking a glass of red wine every day to soften blood vessels and maintain health.
However, on January 20, 2022, the World Heart Alliance issued a briefing, clearly stating that drinking can lead to multiple cardiovascular diseases . There is indeed resveratrol in red wine, but its content is minimal, so it is very difficult to maintain heart .
And resveratrol is just an antioxidant , which is contained in both grapes and blueberries. Research has found that resveratrol has not been as powerful as the cardiovascular as people describe. Therefore, drinking red wine softens blood vessels does not have sufficient scientific basis.
On the contrary, drinking alcohol every day may cause cardiovascular to be stimulated, which will cause blood vessel to expand. Long-term persistence in drinking will increase the incidence of hypertension , alcoholic liver disease , cerebral stroke, heart failure and other diseases, resulting in unnecessary harm to the body. If you want to protect cardiovascular , it is best to stay away from alcohol.
. Drinking vinegar to soften blood vessels is actually fake.
Some people think that vinegar has a sour taste. Soaking egg shells with a hard texture in vinegar can soften it. Therefore, drinking vinegar in moderation can also play the role of softening blood vessels . In fact, this statement is also wrong.
What we call angiosclerosis , in medicine, most of the refers to atherosclerosis . To improve this situation, you need to soften the atherosclerotic plaque inside the blood vessel. However, vinegar is just a condiment. Even if you drink vinegar directly into the body, it cannot achieve the effect of softening blood vessels and removing atherosclerotic plaques .
Because vinegar is drunk into the body, the first thing that enters the stomach is the stomach. The gastric acid in the stomach will dilute and decompose the vinegar, and then enter small intestine . After being metabolized by , it will be discharged with the body fluids. Because vinegar cannot directly enter the blood vessels, there is no way to soften vascular walls and hardened plaques. No matter how much vinegar you drink, it will be useless.
Drinking vinegar in moderation can promote digestion, but drinking vinegar in large quantities or drinking vinegar on an empty stomach will instead cause excessive stimulation of oral, esophagus, gastrointestinal , causing ulcers and to occur after excessive stimulation of its mucosa, causing oral ulcers, gastritis, gastric ulcers and to occur.
. Taking health care products to soften blood vessels, the effect is not obvious.
I believe many people have heard that health products such as lecithin , coenzyme Q10, deep-sea fish oil , etc. can all soften blood vessels. However, relying solely on health products cannot achieve significant improvement results.
Because of vascular sclerosis , there are many reasons, such as vascular stenosis , elasticity decreases , or arterial wall stiffness , etc. If you do not go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in time. If the primary lesions are removed, blood vessels will continue to be sclerotic, and it will be difficult to improve the condition even if you take health care products.
Moreover, these things are called "health foods" mainly because they have no effect in treating diseases. The so-called health food is just a concept that satisfies people's psychology of health care .After everyone gets sick, it is best to use drugs to treat the disease under the guidance of a doctor, and do not abuse health products, so as not to delay the condition and lead to more serious situations.
. Eating onions or black fungus cannot actually soften blood vessels.
Some people say that eating onions or black fungus frequently can accelerate the circulation of in the blood circulation of , so that the toxins in the blood vessels can be excreted, achieving the effect of softening blood vessels . In fact, eating onions or black fungus does help the body to supplement nutrition, and to a certain extent, it helps to reduce blood lipids , but it cannot have the effect of softening blood vessels .
is especially for the hardened blood vessel . No matter how much onion and black fungus you eat, it cannot soften it. At best, increase the number of bowel movements, promote metabolism , and improve the environment in the body.
Although onions and black fungus do not have the effect of softening blood vessels , regular consumption can also supplement the body with a variety of vitamins, trace elements and dietary fiber , which can moisten the intestines and relieve constipation , regulate blood lipids and blood pressure , strengthen the stomach and kill bacteria, replenish qi and nourish blood , etc., which are of certain benefits to the body.
3. How to soften blood vessels?
We have introduced several rumors about blood vessel softening, and many people have tried or are trying. However, after trying, you will find that there is only one truth in , that is, there is no scientific basis for .
Once vascular is hardened, cannot be reversed, and it cannot be restored to its original appearance. You can only avoid doing vascular sclerosis at the beginning to maintain the softness and hardness of blood vessels.
For example, we should strengthen our dietary conditioning in our daily lives and do not eat too much spicy, stimulating, greasy high-fat, high-calorie foods. You must also actively exercise to control your weight. In order to avoid excessive obesity in the body, the increase of blood lipids will cause vascular elasticity to weaken and become hard.
In addition, you should maintain a stable mood as much as possible in daily life, sleep on time every night, keep the endocrine system normal, maintain the body's metabolism, and maintain blood vessels as a result. Also try to avoid smoking and drinking to avoid blood vessels from being violated by harmful substances such as nicotine, tar , and alcohol , causing vascular sclerosis.
Especially after entering middle-aged and elderly people, the organs and tissues of the whole body will gradually age, and their metabolic capacity will also weaken. The probability of hyperglycemia , hypertension, and hyperlipidemia is relatively high. If you have the habit of smoking, drinking, staying up late, and not having sex, it may lead to chronic damage to blood vessels . After the increase in blood vessel garbage, blood vessel sclerosis is more likely to occur.
Doctors have something to say
Softourizing blood vessels is difficult or not, it is not easy to say. Don’t believe the rumors about softening blood vessels easily, because many rumors have no scientific basis and are a scam. To prevent and improve vascular sclerosis, recommends developing good living and eating habits in daily life, strengthening physical exercise, and maintaining vascular . If you suffer from cardiovascular disease , you should seek medical treatment and receive treatment in a timely manner.
Friends, are you also deceived by those rumor without scientific basis? If you also know other rumors about softening blood vessels or have other doubts, you are welcome to leave a message below and we will discuss it together. #Health True Notes#
