How to prevent hypoxia due to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases

With the increasing incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in recent years, it is a very common disease especially among some elderly people. The reason is that as the elderly age, some organs are constantly declining and some lifestyle habits also have a great impact. At this time, because the probability is very high, many people want to ask how to prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular hypoxia?

Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are a general term for diseases of the heart and brain. Also known as the "three highs" of "rich diseases". 40% to 45% of the elderly over 60 years old who suffer from hypertension also suffer from high blood sugar or high blood lipids. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Health in 2007, and according to foreign data, about 50% of diabetics have multiple geriatric diseases such as hypertension and high blood lipids. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are characterized by "high incidence, high disability rate, high mortality rate, high recurrence rate, and many complications", namely "four highs and one more". At present, the number of patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in my country has exceeded 270 million! Nearly 3 million people die from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in my country every year, accounting for 51% of the total causes of death in my country each year.

1. Reasonable diet

Various investigations and studies have shown that nutrition is closely related to life expectancy and geriatric diseases. A preference for fatty and greasy food and a preference for salty and sweet food are not good for the health of the elderly. Therefore, the importance of a low-fat, low-calorie diet for the elderly should be emphasized, and the diet should be mainly rich in protein, vitamins, trace elements and crude fiber. In recent years, some people have also pointed out that a low-salt diet can reduce the degree of osteoporosis, restore the elasticity of hardened arteries, and emphasize the importance of a low-salt diet in the prevention and treatment of hypertension. Therefore, a low-salt diet is also one of the conditions for preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in the elderly.

2. Scientific Life

1. Strengthen physical exercise and exercise for 1 hour every day. The heart rate during activity should not exceed 170 times the difference between the body and age, or the body should sweat slightly and not feel tired. The body should feel relaxed after exercise. Exercise at least 5 days a week and persist.

2. Quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption. Long-term smoking and alcohol abuse can interfere with blood lipid metabolism and increase blood lipids. 3. Avoid mental stress, emotional excitement, insomnia, overwork, irregular lifestyle, anxiety, and depression, as these factors can cause lipid metabolism disorders. Middle-aged and elderly people should not play mahjong or chess for a long time. They should keep calm and try to avoid getting angry.

(III) Take as few drugs as possible that interfere with lipid metabolism

Such as beta-blockers, propranolol, diuretics, hydrochlorothiazide, furosemide, steroid hormones, etc., can all increase blood lipids.

(IV) Actively treat diseases that affect blood lipid metabolism

Diseases such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, nephrotic syndrome, alcoholism, pancreatitis, lupus erythematosus, etc. can all interfere with lipid metabolism.

(V) Regular physical examination

Middle-aged people over 45 years old, obese people, people with a family history of hyperlipidemia, people who often attend eating and drinking social events, and people who work under high mental stress are all high-risk groups and should check their blood lipids, blood pressure and other indicators regularly (at least once a year).

I hope everyone understands that it is very important to prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, because when cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases occur, it is very easy to suffer from hypoxia. Therefore, everyone must pay attention to their eating habits in time and remember to exercise moderately in daily life, so that they can be healthier.
