Better and Healthier Blood Vessels
Blood vessels serve as transport channels for blood throughout the body, responsible for delivering oxygen and nutrients to every organ. Therefore, once the blood vessel is blocked, as the highway in the peak period, slow blood flow or blockage may cause organ lack of oxygen, leading to various diseases. Nowadays, sudden death due to vascular blockage occurs frequently. Hence, we should practice the following good habits to avoid blockage:
- Drink enough water
Blood viscosity will increase when your body lacks water, resulting in stronger blood flow resistance, slowed down flow rate, increased risk of plaque formation, and indirectly induced cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that you drink at least 2L of water (about 8 cups) per day. It is best to drink a small cup after getting up early and before going to bed; 6 to 9 in the morning is the peak period for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and high-risk groups should replenish water in time after getting up in the morning; if sweat due to hot weather, high temperature, or exercise, you should also remember to replenish water in time.
- Eat well
High-fat, high-salt, high-sugar and other heavy-tasting diets will make the blood thicker and increase the burden on blood flow. A high-cholesterol diet will increase the levels of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. These substances deposit on blood vessels as they attach, forming atherosclerotic plaques, which make blood vessels lose their elasticity and become narrowed. It is recommended to pay attention to a balanced diet in life, eat more fruits and vegetables, and eat less greasy, stimulating and spicy food.
3. Maintain your blood pressure
Hypertension and atherosclerosis link to each other. Patients with hypertension should regulate their blood pressure, and not stop the drug or increase or decrease the dosage without a prescription.
4. Don't stay up late
Staying up late can easily disrupt the biological clock, causing the body to secrete too much adrenaline and norepinephrine, which slows down blood flow and increases viscosity. It is recommended to work and rest regularly, go to bed before 11 o'clock every night and sleep for at least 7-8 hours.
5. Limit alcohol intake and Quit smoking
Alcohol and tobacco are the nemeses of blood vessels. Studies have found that smoking and alcoholism can increase blood viscosity by more than 8 times compared to normal. Cigarettes cause structural damage to the arterial wall and advance the aging process of human blood vessels by 10 years. Excess alcohol drinking could lead the blood vessels to lose elasticity and harden, leading to high blood pressure.
6. Maintain a good mood
Long-term mental stress and anxiety will inevitably cause sympathetic nerve excitement, vasoconstriction and spasm, and at the same time, vascular pressure will also increase, resulting in vascular endothelial damage, lipid deposition, and arteriosclerosis. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a happy mood and release stress in time.
7. Be active
The longer you sit, the higher the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Sedentary behavior has been linked to hardening and damage to blood vessels, increased blood pressure and increased blood fat. It is recommended to walk briskly for 30 minutes a day to activate your body. Walking is a good choice as it can maintain aerobic metabolism, enhance cardiopulmonary function, prevent blood lipids from accumulating on blood vessel walls, and avoid thrombosis.
8. Maintain a healthy weight
Obese people have a higher chance than normal people of developing cardiovascular disease, especially those with abdominal obesity. If you eat a high-sugar and high-fat diet or overeat for a long time, the excess fat that cannot be digested will be stored on the belly first, and then the blood vessels and liver, which will cause lipid deposition in the blood vessels and increased blood cholesterol level, leading to arteriosclerosis.
Lastly, don’t forget to include a pack of Stolle ImmNuPlus which is rich in immune nutrients in your diet every day. ImmNuPlus could assist in lower blood cholesterol, lowering blood pressure, regulating immunity, etc. to provide you a healthier blood vessels, A better quality of life.
