The blood vessels on my forehead are obvious, what's going on?

Under normal circumstances, the blood vessels on the forehead cannot be seen, but after exercise, the cardiac output increases and the blood vessels will become more prominent. However, this symptom will disappear once the heart rate stabilizes. If it persists, you should pay special attention, as you may have a certain disease. Experts say that to protect blood vessels, eat two pieces of dark chocolate, drink appropriate amounts of green tea and red wine a week.

1. The blood vessels on the forehead are obvious, what's going on?

Generally, the protruding blood vessels are the veins on the surface of the body. The veins recycle blood. When you exercise, cardiac output increases, so the corresponding amount of blood returning to the heart also increases. Under normal circumstances, the collapsed veins protrude because they allow more blood to pass through. For example, in the lower limbs, the protruding blood vessels will collapse as long as your hands are raised higher than your head. The guidance is generally to recover after a short rest. If it persists, you need to check.

What are the measures for vascular health care?

1. Two pieces of dark chocolate per week: Dark chocolate contains natural antioxidant flavonoids, which can prevent blood vessels from hardening. At the same time, it increases myocardial vitality, relaxes muscles, and prevents cholesterol from accumulating in blood vessels. It has certain effects on preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases.

2. Drink green tea and taste red wine: You may as well drink some green tea at ordinary times, because the catechol in it can reduce the content of bad cholesterol in the blood, increase the content of good cholesterol, enhance the flexibility and elasticity of blood vessels, and prevent vascular sclerosis. Or you can drink half a glass (about 100-150 ml) of red wine every night, which has antioxidant effects. Drinking it four or five times a week can soften blood vessels well.

3. Eat some blood vessel "cleaners": hawthorn, oatmeal, black fungus, kumquat, eggplant, sweet potato, garlic, and onion. These eight foods can best unclog blood vessels and maintain the elasticity of blood vessel walls. Vinegar can also soften blood vessels and lower blood lipids. Eat less dry rice every night, cook some porridge with millet and yellow rice, and add a few wolfberries and dates, which can also protect blood vessels.

4. Alternating hot and cold water shower: The reason why Ma Yinchu lived to be 100 years old was related to his daily “vascular gymnastics”. Take an alternating hot and cold shower every night before going to bed, with the hot water temperature at 40℃~44℃ and the cold water temperature at 12℃~16℃. When doing the "exercise", start with cold and then hot, alternating 5 to 10 times, each time lasting 2 to 3 minutes, and finally end with a hot water bath. This kind of vascular exercise can promote blood circulation and "flush away" the waste in the blood vessels in time. In addition, brisk walking is also a good cardiovascular exercise that can enhance muscle endurance and increase vascular elasticity.

5. Exercise for half an hour before meals: Foreign studies have shown that exercising for half an hour every day, such as walking, cycling, swimming, playing gateball, playing table tennis, jogging, swimming, climbing stairs or climbing mountains, can help lose weight and burn fat, and increase the "youthfulness" of blood vessels. If you exercise moderately before meals, the effect of protecting blood vessels will be better.
