Watch out for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in winter. Keep these magic weapons in mind　

In winter, the weather changes obviously, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases also enter a high incidence period. After winter, first, some patients with hypertension have poor blood pressure control, and their blood pressure tends to rise suddenly. Some patients with cerebrovascular diseases in the past are very likely to induce stroke, that is, stroke. In addition, the symptoms of some old patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases also increased to a certain extent during this period. So, how to prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in winter?

Large temperature difference in winter is easy to induce cardiovascular disease

In winter, the whole nature's yang qi is in a convergent state. The natural yang qi decreases sharply, but people's demand for yang qi does not decrease. Therefore, people in this season will be prone to qi deficiency. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "qi is the leader of blood". The operation of blood is mainly driven by qi. Qi deficiency drives the blood to run slowly, which will lead to blood deficiency. This will lead to increased heart load and cerebral ischemia. The chest pain, suffocation, dizziness and numbness that people feel at this time are a series of "emergency responses" of the human body to weather changes, which are very normal. However, it is necessary to remind those who have poor tolerance to environmental temperature changes or patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, this reaction is likely to cause the symptoms of hypoxia and ischemia in important organs such as the heart and brain, and even induce the occurrence and development of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, cor pulmonale, arrhythmia, etc. There is also stroke, which is also a high incidence in this season. If you do not pay attention, it may even lead to death.

In winter, the high incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in the elderly is related to their physiological characteristics. Arteriosclerosis is a common symptom in the elderly. In case of cold air attack, the whole blood vessels will contract, blood flow resistance will increase, and the burden on the heart will increase, which will easily lead to coronary artery spasm and induce myocardial infarction. The high incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in winter is also closely related to people's psychological conditions. Due to changes in climate and temperature, many people are prone to depression in winter. Poor mood, excessive psychological pressure, living environment, eating habits and overwork will lead to the onset of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, we should take a cautious attitude towards cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in winter and prepare for prevention in advance.

Keep these magic weapons in mind for prevention and treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases

Life rule: The temperature is low in the morning, which is not suitable for morning exercise. It is better for the middle-aged and elderly to take exercise at 9-10 o'clock after breakfast. More exposure to the sun can promote calcium synthesis and absorption.

Quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption: quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption, and drink a small amount of yellow rice wine.

Moderate exercise: Exercise according to physical and mental conditions. Aerobic exercise should not be less than 30 minutes every day. Don't choose such strenuous sports as mountain climbing, running, playing ball games. You can choose to do shadowboxing, swimming, walking 8000 to 10000 steps, etc., subject to feeling relaxed after exercise.

Keep an optimistic attitude: avoid ups and downs. It can nourish and regulate the mind, maintain a good attitude, and avoid emotional excitement, overwork, irregular life, etc. Research shows that the heart and blood vessels are most sensitive to emotion.

Reasonable diet: It is recommended that patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases develop the habit of low salt, low fat and low sugar diet. Increase fiber diet, and eat more corn, wheat bran, beans, kelp, vegetables, fruits, onions, garlic and other foods. Reduce the intake of fat and cholesterol, and avoid eating high cholesterol foods. Eat more bean products. Soybeans are rich in a variety of phospholipids necessary for the human body. Eating bean products such as tofu, bean sprouts, dried tofu and soybean oil can prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Regular examination: regular physical examination, monitoring blood pressure, blood lipid, blood sugar concentration. The elderly should have a physical examination once a year and monitor their blood pressure, blood lipid and blood sugar.

Scientific medication: Chinese and western medicines for prevention and treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should be rationally used under the guidance of doctors.

Prevent diseases and do more daily exercises

Cardio cerebrovascular disease is not impossible to prevent. Some seemingly insignificant "small actions" can reduce or avoid the occurrence of cardio cerebrovascular disease.

Open and close your mouth: In your spare time, you often do the "open and close your mouth" exercise to open your mouth as much as possible, while taking a deep breath. When you close your mouth, you breathe out, and do this for 30 consecutive times. Open and close the mouth, stimulate the brain through facial nerve reflex, improve the blood circulation of the brain, enhance the elasticity of cerebral vessels, and help prevent stroke and Alzheimer's disease.

Frequent foot movement: The ankle is distributed with important tissues such as lymphatic vessels, blood vessels and nerves, which is not only an important gateway for foot blood flow, but also a transportation hub connecting human feet and the body. Soft and elastic ankles help venous blood return to the heart. On the contrary, if ankles are old and stiff, it is easy to lead to poor blood flow, thus increasing the burden on the heart.

Four tips for preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in winter

1. Avoid catching cold. Cold is common in winter, which can be triggered by carelessness. People with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should avoid catching cold, go to places with more people less, and reduce the probability of being infected.

2. The pressure measurement shall be accurate. The blood pressure measurement shall not be based on the data of once or twice, and the dosage of antihypertensive drugs shall be arbitrarily reduced or increased. The time of blood pressure measurement is closely related to the time of taking medicine, and the results once or twice can not really reflect the blood pressure situation. Hypertension patients must be regularly revisited to adjust the antihypertensive drugs under the guidance of doctors.

3. Keep warm. Cold stimulation is an important cause of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, so keeping warm is particularly important for patients with such diseases. Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should not go to morning exercises when it is cold, because the stimulation of cold air will induce angina pectoris, and it is better to go out for exercise after 10 am. Don't choose such fierce sports as running, skipping, and playing ball during exercise. In addition, it is also important to take medicine on time, pay attention to diet, and maintain an optimistic mood.

4. Take first-aid medicine with you. The elderly with chronic diseases should take first-aid medicine with them when they go out. In case of dyspnea, limb numbness and other symptoms, they should go to the hospital in time to avoid missing the best treatment time.
