Dear friends, as winter approaches, cardiovascular diseases have reached a high level. Nutritional metabolic cardiovascular disease, a term that sounds strange, is actually relevant to our daily lives. It includes high blood pressure, diabetes, blood resin abnormalities, coronary heart disease and moderate brain organs, which not only affect our quality of life but also threaten our lives. Today, let us together explore ways to prevent nutritionally metabolic cardiovascular diseases in winter and to safeguard our cardiovascular health.
Nutritional metabolic cardiovascular diseases – health challenges in winter
Nutritional metabolic cardiovascular diseases are a group of heart diseases associated with nutritional and metabolic disorders. The risk of cardiovascular disease is exacerbated by the decline in winter temperatures, the natural contraction of the blood vessels to keep the body warm, increased blood pressure and increased blood viscosity.
II. Strategies for the prevention of nutritional metabolic cardiovascular diseases in winter
(i) A reasonable diet: During the winter, more fibre-rich foods, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, etc., should be consumed, which help to reduce cholesterol and prevent artery hardening. At the same time, there is a need to reduce intake of high fat and high-heat foods, avoid overweight and reduce the heart burden. In addition, adequate additions to quality proteins, such as fish, skinny meat, etc., contribute to the maintenance of cardiovascular health.
(ii) Motivation: Motivation can facilitate blood circulation, enhance CPR function and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Older persons can choose moderate sports such as walking, Tai Chi boxing and yoga, so as not to overburden their bodies as a result of intense sports. In the event of physical activity, clothing should be added and reduced in due course in response to weather changes to prevent cold.
(iii) Maintain a good mind: Emotional fluctuations have a significant impact on heart health. In winter, we should maintain emotional stability and avoid excessive anger and mourning in order to reduce the burden on the heart.
(iv) Warming: Studies show that heart emergencies are two to three times higher in winter than in other seasons. Owing to high indoor and outdoor temperatures, combined with dry climates, human physiological response is slow and often stressful, increasing the heart load. Warming is therefore an important measure to prevent cardiovascular diseases during winter.
(v) A glass of water from early morning: a habit of regular defecation. The winter climate is dry, and it is better to have a glass of warm water before morning or night sleep, which not only prevents constipation but also helps to dilute blood.
(vi) Periodic physical examination: monitoring of blood pressure, blood resin, blood sugar. Older persons should be examined at least once a year to monitor blood pressure, blood resin, blood sugar and to adjust the medication to avoid repeated fluctuations in blood pressure.
Recommendations for a healthy winter life
(i) Dietary adjustment: The concept of “cool, dry, collection, venom” should be adhered to in winter. The diet will help to cool the sun and increase the availability of good-quality protein foods, such as skinny pork, chicken, fish, beef, lamb, eggs, milk, etc.; more vitamin-rich fruit, such as apples, bananas, oranges, oranges, etc.; and, as appropriate, more warm vegetables, such as garlic, cabbage, cuisine, onions, etc.
(ii) In due course, resupply of the water: In the winter, it is necessary to supplement the water in a timely manner so as to prevent blood concentration, adhesiveness and dry skin. The average adult drinking water of 2,000 ml to 2,500 ml per day can be adapted to its own circumstances.
(iii) Moderate indoor wetting: When heating is activated, wetting may be done by placing a pot of water in the room or by adding a wetter.
Dear friends, winter is cold, but we can protect our cardiovascular health through scientific lifestyles and healthy habits. Let’s start today with a rational diet, a proper amount of exercise, a good mind, a warm heart, and a common defence against the threat of nutritional metabolic cardiovascular disease!
