In addition to insisting on doing the above 3 actions every day, we should also do 3 things to maintain the health of blood vessels
1. Adjust your diet.
Heavy diets such as foods high in salt, sugar and oil will increase blood viscosity and increase the burden on blood vessels. Therefore, it is necessary to take a balanced nutrient intake for the body, eat more vegetables, fruits and whole grains, and stay away from greasy foods. Eat more foods that can clear the blood, such as onions, hawthorn and sweet potatoes. In addition, avoid smoking and drinking, as heavy drinking and smoking can increase blood viscosity and increase the risk of coronary heart disease and diabetes.
2. Get enough sleep.
Staying up late or not getting enough sleep can disrupt the body clock and stimulate the body to secrete too much adrenaline and norepinephrine, which in turn slows down blood circulation and increases blood viscosity. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a regular schedule and be in a deep sleep state before 23 o'clock.
3. Exercise more.
Participating in outdoor activities can improve heart and lung fitness, improve blood circulation throughout the body, thin the blood, and also help remove LDL cholesterol from the blood. Gentle aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking, cycling, or jogging, is recommended.
