In the winter of that silver-covered, cold-winded winter, nature carved the world in its own way, but it also planted an invisible killer — a coronary heart disease. Why does this cold season become a high-prevalence coronary heart disease? What’s the secret behind this? This is an issue that deserves in-depth consideration, not only because of the delicate changes in the climate, but also because of the close link between human lifestyles and health.
And when the wind of the winter comes, and the earth is covered in silver, it seems that all things are in silence. However, behind this quiet is a cold killer — a coronary heart disease. Like an assassin in the shadows, it is ready to launch an attack on human health.
First, let us look at the answer to this question from a climate perspective. The cold is felt as if the body’s veins were also felt during the winter, when the temperature fell sharply, when the wind stinged. They shrink autonomously in order to reduce the dispersion of heat and maintain the stability of body temperature. However, this self-protection mechanism places a heavy burden on the heart. The coronary artery, the river of life that delivers blood to the heart, becomes narrow and twisted in the cold. The blood flow has increased resistance and the burden on the heart has increased. For those with a narrow or blocked coronary heart, this is undoubtedly a deadly crisis. Cold irritation can also cause coronary artery convulsions, further exacerbating myocardial insemination and making it possible for dangerous conditions, such as heart pain and myocardial infarction, to occur at any time.
Moreover, winter lifestyles provide an invisible hotbed for coronary heart disease. As the weather cools down, outdoor activity diminishes, and people are more willing to convuls themselves in warm rooms, enjoying the convenience and joy of television and the Internet. However, this unmoveable lifestyle has led to a slowing of the blood cycle and increased blood stickiness, which can easily form a clot. At the same time, people tend to be more hungry in the winter, and high-heat and fat foods become frequent on the table. These foods, while satisfying the needs of taste buds, also place a heavy burden on the coronary artery. The rise of blubber and the sclerosis of the aneurystic porridge have undoubtedly led to the occurrence of coronary heart disease.
In addition, winter is a period of high incidence of respiratory diseases. The frequency of diseases such as viral infections and upper respiratory infections not only undermines the health of the respiratory system but also increases the burden on the heart. The decrease in oxygen levels in the blood and the lack of oxygen in the myocardial muscles exacerbate the condition of the coronary heart patients. Of course, emotional volatility is also one of the factors that cannot be ignored. During the winter, short days and nights, people’s sleep time has been reduced, and the effects of cold weather and restricted mobility have made people vulnerable to depression and depression. These negative emotions can lead to increased heart burden and coronary heart disease.
In summary, the reasons for the high incidence of coronary heart disease in winter are many. The combination of cold weather, changing lifestyles, increased viral infections and emotional volatility together constitute hotbeds of coronary heart disease that ravages the winter. As a result, people with coronary heart diseases should increase their heating, prevention of infection, maintenance of a proper level of movement, adjustment of diet and good mentalities during winter. Only in this way can a strong line of defence be built for the heart during this cold season.
