53-year-old sister Lin and her husband run a fish shop. Sister Lin has been the oldest child in the family since she was a child. She was responsible for the daily life of her younger brothers when she was a child and has been alone at a young age. Later, after marrying her husband, she had two daughters and one son. Although life was hard, it was also fun.
Because I was too hard at work, Lin Jia killed a fish for a guest at the fish stall two years ago. Suddenly his body shook and he fainted on the ground.
Later, her husband was rushed to the hospital. After the doctor checked, he found that Sister Lin had a sign of cerebrovascular blockage, so he prescribed some medicines for Sister Lin to go back and take it for a while, and "all of them" the blood vessels.
After Sister Lin returned home, she insisted on taking the medicine for a while, and she felt that her body had indeed recovered a lot. Later, she found out from her good friend that drinking red wine can soften blood vessels and prevent blood vessel blockage, especially for women, drinking red wine can also beautify the skin.
So Sister Lin took a little thought and asked her friend to buy a few boxes of red wine wholesale, intending to drink a glass every day to "soften blood vessels." The husband disagreed with this and thought she was making trouble, but no matter what he said, Sister Lin was unwilling to listen. After drinking
for half a year, one day, Sister Lin suddenly felt a little dizzy again, worried that she would "explode blood vessels", so she drank a whole bottle of red wine, and soon after, she fainted on the ground. After being sent to the hospital, the doctor said that she had cerebral hemorrhage of .
Originally, Sister Lin's hypertension was well controlled after drug treatment, but in the past six months, alcohol has gradually overwhelmed blood vessels and finally "collapsed".
Many hypertensive patients, in order to prevent blood vessel blockage, will believe in some folk remedies, such as drinking vinegar, eating deep-sea fish oil, drinking red wine, etc. In fact, can these foods really "soften blood vessels"?
1. How do your blood vessels "block" step by step?
According to the "China Cardiovascular Health and Disease Report 2020", cardiovascular disease has become the first cause of death in my country's population.
Why do blood vessels become blocked? In fact, the "garbage, that is, plaques, that is, plaques, are more accurate called "atherosclerosis". Arteries are arterial blood vessels, and atherosclerosis refers to the hardness of the plaque, that is, the texture.
The blood vessels in the human body are blocked, not overnight, and usually go through the following 4 stages:
Just born: the halo of the inner wall of the artery is elastic
When a person is born, it is like a new one at home. The water pipe has smooth walls, elasticity, and blood flow is smooth and unobstructed.
. With our "use" of the body, lipids and cholesterol began to deposit on the blood vessel wall, forming atherosclerosis . The blood vessel wall also thickened and hardened, and "atherosclerosis" began to appear.
Teenagers: Eat a lot, vascular plaques
Children in their teenage years are always worried about insufficient nutrition or that their families do not have adult control. The children will intake too much high-fat and high-sugar snacks . If the oil is absorbed too much, these substances will be adsorbed on the blood vessels and form plaques.
There are also some children who do not like exercise. The blood vessel circulation is slow, eat a lot, and still do not move. The body accumulates fat, which can easily increase the lipids in the blood vessels.
Middle-aged: More and more garbage is deposited on the blood vessel wall
People are middle-aged, atherosclerosis develops rapidly, and more garbage is accumulated on the blood vessel wall, which is equivalent to the accumulation of scale in the water pipes at home, the water pipe passages are completely squeezed, and the blood vessel cavity becomes narrower and narrower.
If you add bad habits such as staying up late, smoking, drinking, and high pressure , it is easy to increase the heart rate, increase blood pressure, and plaques rupture, thereby promoting thrombosis and blocking blood vessels.
Age: Plaque deposition speed accelerates, blockage occurs
As age, it is affected by various external factors, and blood vessels will inevitably be damaged. After years of deposition, thickening of the blood vessel wall can directly lead to insufficient blood supply in various parts of the body. Once the blood vessels are completely closed, cerebral infarction and or myocardial infarction will occur, which poses a major threat to life.
2. Whether the blood vessels are blocked can you tell at a glance?
The symptoms and harms of different parts of . , brain
When blood vessels occur in the brain, there will be obvious reactions on one side of the body, and weakness or numbness on the limbs or face on one side of the body will appear weak or numbness on the limbs or face, crooked corners of the face, loss of vision in both eyes or blurred . In addition, the brain is responsible for managing the language area, and patients may also experience unclear speech and incomprehensible speech.
, lung
blood vessel blockage occurs in the lungs, can manifest as chest pain , hemoptysis and dyspnea . If not treated in time, the mortality rate can be as high as 30%.
, heart
The heart blood vessels are blocked, the degree of blockage is relatively mild, the heart's ability to pump blood will be slightly affected, men may experience chest pain, shoulder and neck discomfort; women may experience toothache, chin pain, etc. If the heart is severely blocked, a myocardial infarction may occur at any time.
, kidney
The kidneys have blood vessel blockage, can lead to edema and changes in urine volume. In severe cases, it can lead to renal insufficiency , which ultimately leads to kidney atrophy and necrosis.
blood vessel blockage occurs in the upper limb, which will affect the pulse and blood pressure is stable. In severe cases, the upper limbs will also snatch the blood from the brain, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain, and dizziness, unstable standing, etc. .
, lower limbs
When the lower limbs are blocked, that is, the lower limb venous thrombosis is blocked, The limbs will swell and feel pain , and the skin temperature at the embolized area will be higher than usual.
3. "Softening blood vessels" has deceived the Chinese people for decades!
Dr. Zhou Ziqiang of the Cardiovascular Center of Beijing Tongren Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University said that it is difficult for the blood vessels that have been sclerated to soften back. But there are still many people sayings about "softening blood vessels", such as intake of red wine, vinegar, fish oil, etc. What is the truth?
- Red wine
Rule has been said that red wine contains resveratrol , which has the effect of softening blood vessels.
In this regard, in January 2022, the World Heart Alliance once again emphasized that drinking is an important cause of various cardiovascular diseases. The evidence is very clear that drinking of any degree may lead to a healthy life.
, aged vinegar
There are rumors that vinegar has the effect of softening blood vessels and can prevent arteriosclerosis.
In this regard, Liu Jianlong, chief physician of the Department of Vascular Surgery of Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, pointed out that soaking calcium in vinegar can indeed dissolve, , but it is difficult to change the pH of the blood from drinking vinegar, and affect plaques.
In addition, the main ingredient of vinegar is acetic acid, which has a certain corrosion. If you consume a lot of vinegar on an empty stomach, it will cause gastrointestinal burns and cause severe pain.
, Deep-sea fish oil
Deep-sea fish oil was once called the selling point of "preventing cardiovascular diseases", saying that it contains polyunsaturated fatty acids, which can reduce blood lipids and .
It is true that deep-sea fish oil is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, but this fatty acid cannot directly act on the blood vessels, allowing the blood vessels to remain elastic.
4. For example, protecting blood vessels is the key
How to protect blood vessels and unblock blood vessels? These key points should be noted:
First of all, is to control blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood lipids. High blood pressure will aggravate arteriosclerosis and make blood vessels harden. High blood sugar will produce more blood vessel plaques, causing Card and cerebrovascular disease to occur. Hyperlipidemia will cause the blood to produce more lipid substances, which is "vascular garbage". Therefore, controlling the three highs is the key to protecting blood vessels.
At the same time, also needs to improve living habits, especially quitting smoking and drinking . Smoking not only hurts the lungs, but also damages blood vessels and aggravates blood vessel blockage. Drinking alcohol, especially alcoholism, can increase blood pressure, blood lipids, and accelerate arteriosclerosis. Therefore, staying away from tobacco and alcohol can prevent further lesions in the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system.
Some office workers sit for a long time, slow down blood circulation, and cardiopulmonary function will also decline, which will promote the formation of vascular plaques. Therefore, you must insist on exercising and maintain at least 150 minutes of exercise per week.
- Nowadays, many people have the habit of staying up late and often go to bed after 12 o'clock, . Staying up late is a major risk factor for blood vessel blockage . If you want to avoid blood vessel blockage, you must not stay up late and sleep at the right time, which is more conducive to protecting blood vessels.
vascular plaques cannot be formed in one day. With the continuous accumulation of life, many people have failed to detect it in time, and eventually a sudden myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction .
Most of the causes of blood vessel blockage are caused by their own reasons, so they can also help prevent blood vessel blockage through healthy life. It depends on whether you can persist as always.
