Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are coming, and doctors should do 5 things to survive the winter healthily and safely
With the arrival of winter, the temperature gradually decreases, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases have also entered a high incidence period. As an experienced doctor, I would like to remind everyone that in this cold season, it is very important to protect your cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Here are 5 key things to help you survive the winter in a healthy and safe way.
1. Keep warm.
In winter, when the temperature is low, blood vessels are prone to constriction, resulting in an increase in blood pressure and increasing the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, it is important to take care to keep warm, especially on the head, hands, and feet. You can wear a hat, gloves and thick socks when you go outside to avoid the stimuli of the cold. At home, you can use heating equipment appropriately to keep the room warm.
2. Eat a reasonable diet.
The winter diet should be mainly warm, and eat more nutritious foods, such as red dates, wolfberries, longan, etc. At the same time, it is necessary to control salt and fat intake, and avoid foods that are high in calories, fat and salt. Eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits to maintain a balanced diet.
In addition, drinking water in moderation can also help maintain the body's water balance.
3. Exercise moderately.
Moderate exercise can help the body burn excess fat and calories, enhance cardiopulmonary function, and improve the body's immunity. In winter, you can choose indoor sports such as yoga, tai chi, etc. When exercising outdoors, you should pay attention to keeping warm and avoid being stimulated by the cold. Exercise in moderation and don't get overly tired.
4. Maintain good work and rest habits.
In winter, you should get enough sleep, go to bed early and wake up early. A good routine helps to regulate body functions and enhance the body's resistance. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid sitting or being bedridden for long periods of time, and appropriate activity can help promote blood circulation and metabolism.
5. Regular inspections.
Regular physical examinations can help to detect potential cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease risks in a timely manner. Especially for middle-aged and elderly people, regular check-ups are more important. Through the examination, you can find out whether your blood pressure, blood lipids and other indicators are normal, and whether you have other health problems.
