New Year's Day is healthy
With the acceleration of the pace of modern life and the change of dietary structure, the incidence of cardiovascular diseases is increasing year by year. When a blood vessel becomes clogged, our body gives signals to warn us to pay attention to the health of our blood vessels. As an experienced veteran Chinese medicine practitioner, I will combine the theories of traditional Chinese medicine and ancient and modern prescriptions to share with you some good habits of protecting blood vessels to help you prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases.
What is a blockage of blood vessels?Vascular blockage is a condition in which plaque forms in the lining of a blood vessel, resulting in narrowing or occlusion of the lumen of the blood vessel. This can happen due to atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease dominated by lipid deposition, which affects not only large blood vessels, but also the heart and cerebrovascular vessels. Therefore, once the following signals are found in the body, we should pay enough attention and take measures to prevent blood vessel blockage.
The first signal is an abnormal pulse, which usually manifests as an uneven pulse or a slow or rapid pulse. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the patency of blood vessels is closely related to the normal pulse. When there is a problem with the blood vessels inside the body, changes in the pulse are often reflected. An ancient Chinese medicine prescription - Danshen San, has a unique curative effect on the irregular pulse. Danshen powder is developed from salvia, notoginseng and other medicinal materials, which can invigorate blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, reconcile blood vessels, and have a good effect on improving heart function and preventing cardiovascular diseases.
The second sign is the appearance of symptoms such as chest tightness, palpitation, shortness of breath, etc. When the blood supply to the heart is insufficient, we feel discomfort such as chest tightness, palpitation, shortness of breath, etc. These symptoms are often accompanied by irregular heart rate, dizziness, etc. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that these symptoms are related to the exuberance of the heart, qi stagnation and blood stasis. In order to improve these symptoms, we can use an ancient recipe - Xuefu Zhuyu Soup. This formula is composed of medicinal herbs such as peach kernel, safflower, and Chuanxiong, which can invigorate blood circulation and dispel blood stasis, relieve heart fatigue, and improve symptoms such as chest tightness, palpitation, and shortness of breath.
The third sign is the appearance of problems such as dizziness, tinnitus, blurred vision, etc. These problems are often caused by insufficient blood supply to the cerebrovascular system. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that insufficient blood supply to the cerebrovascular system is related to insufficient liver and kidney. In order to regulate liver and kidney function, you can try to use an ancient prescription - Liuwei Dihuang Pill. The formula is composed of herbs such as rehmannia, yam, eucommia, etc., which can tonify the kidneys and strengthen yang, nourish qi and nourish blood, and improve the symptoms caused by insufficient blood supply to the cerebrovascular system.
What are the good habits of protecting blood vessels?In addition to medications**, we can also protect the health of our blood vessels by developing some good habits.
First, maintain a moderate amount of exercise. Moderate exercise can promote blood circulation and increase cardiopulmonary function. Aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking, running, swimming, etc., can widen blood vessels, increase blood vessel elasticity, reduce blood pressure and blood lipids, and prevent the occurrence of blood vessel blockage.
Secondly, pay attention to the reasonable combination of dietary structure. Traditional Chinese medicine focuses on the balance of yin and yang, and the same is true of diet. We should reduce the intake of high-calorie, high-fat, and high-salt foods, eat more vegetables and fruits rich in dietary fiber, and eat nuts, fish and other foods rich in unsaturated fatty acids in moderation to keep blood vessels open.
Finally, maintain good lifestyle habits, such as quitting smoking and limiting alcohol, maintaining good sleep quality, and avoiding sitting for long periods of time. These habits can improve blood vessel function and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
To sum up, clogged blood vessels are a serious cardiovascular disease that poses a huge threat to our body. When our body has problems such as abnormal pulse, chest tightness, palpitation, shortness of breath, dizziness, tinnitus, and blurred vision, we should pay attention to it and take corresponding measures in time. In addition to medications**, we can also protect blood vessel health by developing good lifestyle habits, such as moderate exercise, reasonable diet, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol, etc. Let's join hands to protect our blood vessels from cardiovascular diseases!
