When people reach middle age, various indicators of the body begin to light up red. When I was young, the physical examination was like a spring outing, I went to the hospital in the morning and had a free breakfast, and I was so happy; When people reach middle age, the physical examination is like an exam, and they start to be nervous the day before, and they will not be relieved until they see that the examination results are okay. As real as it sounds, the body is like a barometer of your mood. Good health, able to eat and sleep, energetic every day, and naturally in a good mood; The body is unwell, the body is no longer refreshed and comfortable, the disease is always depressed, and the mood will gradually become anxious and heavy.
But now, with the improvement of living standards, everyone has become richer in terms of diet, although the "three highs" are more common in middle-aged and elderly people, and are one of the common chronic diseases of middle-aged and elderly people, but they are also getting younger and younger. Three highs, that is, "high blood pressure", "high blood sugar" and "high blood lipids".
High blood pressure: This is when the pressure of blood on the walls of blood vessels is higher than normal, and is usually caused by a variety of factors. Hyperglycemia: This is a higher than normal amount of glucose in the blood, usually caused by insufficient insulin secretion or insulin resistance. Hyperlipidemia: It refers to the higher than normal levels of cholesterol, triglycerides and other lipids in the blood, which is usually caused by abnormal fat metabolism or functioning.
