Do you know? The heart that "works" every day, and the speed at which it beats may be related to the length of a person's lifespan.
Regarding the link between fast and slow heartbeat and longevity, Professor Wen Qibang of the Taiwan Institute of Health has conducted special research. Since 1994, Professor Wen has collected a total ofNearly 2 million physical examination materials。The relationship between heart rate and life expectancy was judged by analyzing the physical examination data of the subjects, and the conclusions were drawn after excluding the three highs, smoking and other factors that are easy to affect cardiovascular health.
Heart rate is in60-70 times a minuteof the crowd,Each increase in heartbeator as expectedLife expectancy is shortened by 4 monthsCorrelation;
Heart rate is in60-70 times a minuteof the population, compared to the < 60 minutes of the population, expectedLife expectancy has been shortened by an average of 3 years
Heart rate is in80-90 times a minuteof the population, life expectancy is averageShortened by 5 yearsThe average life expectancy of people at 90-100 beats per minute was reduced by 8 years, and those with heart rate per minute (100 beats per minute) were shortened by 13 years.
In this regard, Professor Wen believes that it is related to the high heart rate leading to excessive heart workloadLong-term overload will increase the probability of the heart "going out" early.
At the same time, a Swedish study also found that:Rapid heart rate may be associated with an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease。The researchers followed 2,147 people over the age of 60 for many years, and a total of 289 participants were diagnosed with dementia during the follow-up.
After adjusting for factors that may affect the development of Alzheimer's disease, such as age, gender, smoking, and exercise, the researchers found that compared to people with a resting heart rate of 60-69 beats per minute, the researchers found that compared to people with a resting heart rate of 60-69 beats per minuteSubjects with a resting heart rate of more than 80 beats per minute had a 55% increased risk of developing dementia.
A fast heartbeat increases the risk of many diseases, but that doesn't mean a slower heartbeat is better, and a slow heartbeat can also be a health risk.
Li Xueqi of the Cardiac Electrophysiology and Pacing Branch of the Chinese Medical Association saidLong-term slow heart rate can also be harmful, which can easily lead to insufficient blood supply to the heart, resulting in hypoxia or ischemiaAs soon as your heart rate drops below 50 beats per minute, you should seek medical attention
Normally, your heart rate should be maintained at 60-100 beats per minuteLess than 60 beats per minute is called bradycardia, and more than 100 beats per minute is called tachycardia. When people are excited, exercising and drinking coffee, tea and other energy drinks, the heart rate will also increase, or the elderly will slow down due to the decline in physical function, the heart rate in these cases is physiological, and it will return to flattening after a period of time, and it has little impact on the heart.
What we really need to pay attention to is that the pathological heartbeat is too fast or too slow, which will bring a greater threat to health.
Having a fast heart rate undoubtedly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Every time the heart beats, it puts a punch on the arteries. The higher the number of heartbeats, the greater the stimulation of the arteries, which can easily induce vascular endothelial damage and atherosclerosis. The number of heartbeats is also related to the function of the endocrine system and nervous system, and too fast heart rate will cause sympathetic overexcitation and increased catecholamine secretion, which can easily induce heart failure and hypertension.
A slow heart rate can cause the heart's output to decrease, which in turn will make the blood supply to the brain and various organs in the body insufficient, which can easily induce functional damage and affect normal life. In severe cases, it can induce syncope and sudden death, threatening life.
Experts say that multiple studies have proven that heartbeat is inversely correlated with longevityThe heart beats within the normal range of 60-100 beats per minute: the lower the heart rate, the longer the lifespan.
If you want to keep your heartbeat steady, you need to make changes from some details of your life, which are important and worth learning from everyone.
1. Quit smoking and limit alcohol
Smoking and drinking alcohol will bring a greater threat to the health of the whole body, easily induce cardiovascular diseases such as vascular endothelial injury and increased heart rate, and increase the risk of cancer. If you want to stay healthy, it's important to quit smoking and limit alcohol.
2. Reduce staying up late
Lack of sleep can lead to physiological and hormonal changes in the body, which in turn will increase blood pressure, blood sugar, and increase the level of inflammatory substances in the blood to a certain extent, all of which will affect heart health and increase the risk of coronary heart disease.
3. Control your weight
Data shows that for every 10% increase in body weight, cholesterol in the body increases by 175. The risk of coronary heart disease increases by 37%. As you gain weight, your cholesterol levels and your risk of coronary heart disease skyrocket, and maintaining a healthy weight is key to preventing cardiovascular disease.
4. Emotional stability
Long-term anxiety, depression and other bad emotions will lead to a large amount of adrenaline secretion in the body, which will lead to shortness of breath, faster heartbeat, and increase blood pressure and blood sugar levels, which is extremely bad for heart health. Therefore, we must learn to relieve our bad emotions and face life with an optimistic and cheerful attitude.
5. Scientific diet
Long-term consumption of high-fat, high-calorie, and high-cholesterol foods will lead to excess fat in the body, and a large amount of fat will be deposited in the blood vessels, which will easily induce atherosclerosis and affect heart health. A healthy diet should include a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, as much as possible to ensure that the food intake is as varied, and at the same time, pay attention to the light food.
6. Keep exercising
Exercise can speed up the metabolism in the body, and it is also good for enhancing heart and lung function, which is good for heart health. Pay attention to the exercise must be adhered to for a long time, three days of fishing, two days of drying nets is difficult to achieve good results.
There is a great relationship between the number of heartbeats and health, and it is recommended to seek medical attention in time when you find that you have frequent abnormal heartbeats.
