What are the ways to enhance heart function

For many elderly people in our lives, when they reach a certain age, their heart function will gradually decline. In fact, this situation can be alleviated and improved. The functions of the human body are basically affected by its own environment and habits. If the heart function is weak, you can learn the following methods to enhance heart function.

【Strengthen heart function】

Weight control

Studies have shown that a 10% increase in body weight leads to an average 18.5 increase in cholesterol and a 38% increase in the risk of coronary heart disease. A 20% increase in body weight leads to an 86% increase in the risk of coronary heart disease. The prevalence of coronary heart disease in hypertensive patients with diabetes is twice that in hypertensive patients without diabetes.

Quitting smoking

The nicotine in tobacco can increase the heart rate, raise blood pressure (excessive smoking can lower blood pressure), increase cardiac oxygen consumption, cause vasospasm, abnormal blood flow, and increase platelet adhesion. These adverse effects make the incidence of coronary heart disease in male smokers aged 30-49 three times higher than that of non-smokers, and smoking is also an important cause of angina attacks and sudden death.

Stop drinking

An experiment conducted by American scientists confirmed that ethanol is toxic to the heart. Excessive ethanol intake can reduce the contractile ability of the myocardium. For people with heart disease, excessive drinking will not only increase the burden on the heart, but may even cause arrhythmia, affect fat metabolism, and promote the formation of arteriosclerosis.

Improve your life

Places with severe environmental pollution and high noise intensity may induce heart disease. Therefore, improve the living environment, expand the green area, reduce noise and prevent various pollution.
