In order to prevent premature aging of blood vessels, we should eat more foods that clean and protect blood vessels.
Medical research has proved that the following eight foods have special effects on dredging and cleaning blood vessels and preventing arteriosclerosis. Corn: Corn is rich in fat, and the content of unsaturated fatty acids, especially linoleic acid, is as high as 60% or more.
It is helpful to the normal metabolism of human fat and cholesterol, and can reduce the deposition of cholesterol in blood vessels, thus softening arterial blood vessels. Health reminder: Cardiovascular experts say that because there are no symptoms, most people are unaware of vascular abnormalities, and often do not seek medical treatment until cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications occur.
Doctors suggest that if you want to make blood vessels younger, you should pay attention to the health of blood vessels, starting with evaluating the age of blood vessels and detecting cholesterol ... Tomatoes: Not only are the contents of various vitamins 2-4 times higher than those of apples and pears, but they also contain a vitamin-rutin, which can improve the oxidation ability of the human body, eliminate free radicals and other internal wastes, protect the elasticity of blood vessels and prevent thrombosis. Apple: Apple is rich in polysaccharide, fruit acid, flavonoids, potassium, vitamins E and C, which can decompose the accumulated fat in the body and have obvious effects on delaying and preventing the occurrence of atherosclerosis.
Kelp: Kelp is rich in fucoidan and laminin, both of which have heparin-like activity, which can not only prevent thrombosis, but also reduce cholesterol and lipoprotein and inhibit atherosclerosis. Tea: contains tea polyphenols, which can improve the body's antioxidant capacity, reduce blood lipids, relieve hypercoagulability, enhance the elasticity of red blood cells, and alleviate or delay atherosclerosis.
Drinking tea often can soften arterial blood vessels. Garlic: contains volatile capsaicin, which can eliminate the fat accumulated in blood vessels and has obvious lipid-lowering effect. It is a good medicine for treating hyperlipidemia and arteriosclerosis.
Onion: It contains prostaglandin A, which has a strong vasodilating effect. It can relax blood vessels, reduce blood viscosity and reduce blood pressure. At the same time, onion also contains diallyl disulfide and sulfur-containing amino acids, which can enhance fibrinolytic activity, reduce blood lipid and resist arteriosclerosis. .
2. What is the coup of intravenous infusion?
Intravenous infusion is used to infuse water, salt and sugar needed in antibiotics and other drugs and supplements.
(1) injection site and method: the superficial forearm vein, great saphenous vein or superficial vein of the back of hand and foot are often selected. The injection method is the same as intravenous injection.
(2) Precautions: Before operation, you must carefully check whether there are turbidity or impurities in the liquid. If there are more than two kinds of drugs in infusion, we must pay attention to whether there are compatibility taboos.
Before inserting the needle into the patient's body, the air in the infusion tube must be exhausted (the air in the syringe must also be exhausted before other injections). Check whether the infusion needle slips or is blocked at any time in the future.
Adjust the dripping speed (about 40 per minute for adults? 60 drops), for the elderly or heart patients, it is necessary to slow down the dripping speed and control the infusion volume. In the process of infusion, we should closely observe whether the patient has chills, fever, trembling, itching and other reactions.
If yes, immediately stop infusion or slow down the drip rate of infusion. Be sure to pull out the needle before infusion to prevent air from entering the vein.
3. Why can Ginkgo dredge blood vessels?
Simply put, Ginkgo biloba leaves have the function of inhibiting thrombosis by reducing the activity of platelets.
Plaques in blood vessels are not only caused by cholesterol, but also platelets in the human body sometimes accidentally injure blood vessels. We all know that platelets are the emergency patrol of human body. Once the blood vessels are found to be damaged, they will immediately rush up and block the gap with their own bodies.
But platelets are nearsighted, and some sensitive platelets will "see" the rough part of blood vessels into a breach, so platelets will accumulate on the normal blood vessel wall and become plaques. This is one of the reasons why some people are thin, but blood vessels actually have plaques.
Ginkgo biloba, known as ginkgolides, has the main function of calming down this "nearsighted" platelet, thus achieving the purpose of inhibiting thrombosis and protecting the heart. Therefore, don't eat half a catty of ginkgo fruit at a time, you can choose a small amount and a long-term eating method.
4. What food is in the blood vessels?
Traditional Chinese medicine has the saying that "medicine and food are homologous", which means that different colors of food can treat different diseases.
For example, people with poor heart function can eat more red food; People with poor liver function can eat more green food; People with poor spleen function (digestive function) can eat more Y-colored food; People with poor lung function can eat more white food; People with poor renal function can eat more black food. Eating health care and eating common sense is good for the health of the five internal organs! Winter is a good time for tonic. Eating some meat from cows, sheep and dogs can help people resist the cold and not get fat.
Eating some medicated diets is most beneficial to health, such as ginseng porridge, milk porridge, yam porridge, mutton porridge and so on. Of course, the most important thing is balanced nutrition. Y-colored food nourishes the spleen, Y-colored food promotes blood vessels, and Y-colored food mainly refers to corn and carrots.
This Y-colored food is rich in carotene. Among them, corn is a good health care product in coarse grains, with high fiber content, peristalsis and accelerated fecal excretion. It is the best food for invigorating spleen, reducing blood fat, treating constipation, beauty beauty and preventing intestinal cancer.
Carrots are rich in vitamin A, which can promote the normal growth and reproduction of the body, prevent respiratory tract infection, protect eyesight and prevent cancer. Red food nourishes the heart, red food leads to blood vessels, and red food mainly refers to tomatoes and red peppers.
These two red foods are rich in vitamin C and vitamin A, which can enhance people's physical strength and relieve fatigue caused by work and life pressure. Lycopene, in particular, has a protective effect on cardiovascular system, has a unique oxidation ability, protects cells in vivo, prevents DNA and immune genes from being destroyed, reduces the harm of cancer, lowers cholesterol and prevents constipation.
Green food nourishing liver Green food promoting blood circulation Green food refers to green vegetables such as cauliflower and celery. This kind of food has a high water content of 90%-94% and low calories. For people who want to lose weight, it can not only fill their stomachs, but also make people fat.
Among them, cauliflower can reduce the incidence of breast cancer, intestinal cancer and gastric cancer. In addition, it can kill Helicobacter pylori in the stomach, lower cholesterol, prevent platelet coagulation, and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Celery is high in iron and is the best vegetable to treat iron deficiency anemia. Celery is rich in potassium, which can lower blood pressure, promote uric acid excretion, soften blood vessels and treat constipation.
Therefore, patients with hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hyperuricemia can take it regularly. Black food nourishes the kidney, and black food promotes blood circulation. Black food mainly refers to black beans, black sesame seeds and black fungus.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that black food has the function of strengthening the kidney. Black beans are sweet and flat in nature, which not only looks like kidney, but also has the effects of tonifying kidney and strengthening body, promoting blood circulation and diuresis, detoxifying and moistening skin, and is especially suitable for patients with kidney deficiency.
Auricularia auricula is rich in lecithin and cephalin, and is known as the "scavenger" for cleaning and softening blood vessels. Eating 5g to10g of auricularia auricula per meal can reduce blood viscosity and prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Black sesame has the functions of nourishing liver and kidney, nourishing brain and moistening lung, nourishing blood and blackening hair, and preventing aging. It is a commonly used tonic.
Studies have proved that black sesame is rich in oleic acid, linoleic acid, lecithin, vitamin E, protein, calcium, iron and other substances. White food nourishes the lungs, white food circulates blood vessels, and white food mainly refers to yam and oats.
Chinese medicine regards yam as a good tonic with good quality and low price, which can be used as both a staple food and a vegetable. Yam contains a variety of trace elements and digestive enzymes, which can protect the liver, protect the stomach wall and prevent the occurrence of gastric ulcer and gastritis.
5. Do you need regular infusion to dredge blood vessels every year if you have cerebral infarction?
This is the biggest misunderstanding in the prevention and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases.
After vascular occlusion, ischemic neuronal necrosis first occurred in the infarct center. With the prolongation of ischemia time, brain tissue began to liquefy, nerve cells gradually disappeared, and finally liquefied necrotic tissue was swallowed up, and glial cells and capillaries proliferated. Small lesions form glial scars, and large lesions form apoplectic capsules.
From the above pathological process, it can be seen that patients with long-term cerebral infarction should be given regular infusion to dredge blood vessels every year, which is of no therapeutic value to the infarction itself, and frequent infusion without purpose is not recommended. The neurological function of patients with cerebral infarction recovered after discharge, but various risk factors such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes still exist.
About 20% of patients with cerebral infarction are in 1? Recurrence within 2 years, aggravated brain function damage and increased disability rate. Therefore, we should try our best to find out the risk factors of patients with acute and convalescent cerebral infarction, and make targeted adjustments and treatments.
It should be emphasized that regular physical examination is more important. It is necessary to strictly control the controllable risk factors of cerebrovascular diseases such as blood pressure, blood sugar and blood lipid, and reduce the recurrence rate of cerebral infarction. "Regular infusion to dredge blood vessels" is a method to prevent cerebrovascular diseases, which is influenced by traditional medical thought and has "China characteristics", but not in western countries; There is not enough clinical evidence to verify its effectiveness.
Western countries only rely on aspirin, a risk factor for controlling cerebrovascular diseases, to reduce the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases that originally ranked in the top three and caused death to the sixth and seventh places, while China still ranks in the top three. For patients or their families, we want to solve the problem of recurrence of cerebral infarction by giving drugs regularly every year, just like the "three-volt patch".
This hope is good, and it may also bring psychological comfort to patients, but the actual effect is indeed a problem. Because these drugs are more used to treat acute cerebrovascular diseases than to prevent them.
Treating acute cerebrovascular disease and preventing cerebrovascular disease are not the same concept. The treatment of acute cerebrovascular disease is based on the characteristics of the pathophysiological process of acute cerebrovascular disease, while the prevention of cerebrovascular disease is mainly aimed at the risk factors of cerebrovascular disease. Although many manufacturers of traditional Chinese medicine preparations for treating cerebrovascular diseases claim that their products have the functions of lowering blood pressure, lowering blood lipid and controlling blood sugar (these functions can be used to prevent cerebrovascular diseases); But think about it carefully, there are only a few days of infusion time every year to prevent cerebrovascular diseases. What about the other days? We in China like to use analogy to illustrate the problem. Here, let's make an analogy: can people live a good life by eating for one more year during the Chinese New Year? Therefore, we hope that patients with cerebrovascular disease will take medicine every day to control the risk factors of cerebrovascular disease, which is the scientific method to prevent the recurrence of cerebrovascular disease and reduce the recurrence rate of cerebrovascular disease.
There is no "three-volt patch" to prevent cerebrovascular diseases and prevent their recurrence, at least it has not been developed yet. .
6. Do hypertensive patients need to dredge blood vessels every year?
Can regular infusion prevent cerebrovascular diseases? The annual autumn wind blows bitterly.
In late autumn and early winter, some middle-aged and elderly people have come to the hospital and asked for some drugs to dredge blood vessels to prevent the onset of cerebrovascular diseases. It is understood that this is a common phenomenon in large, medium and small hospitals.
Most patients need drugs such as promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. The price of these drugs is relatively low, and the cost of "routine" blood transfusion is around 500 yuan, once a year in spring and autumn, which is economically acceptable. Most infusion patients look like healthy people. Why don't they look for "illness" when they are not sick? This wind of preventing cerebrovascular diseases by infusion has been blowing 10 for many years. Why is it enduring? However, what is the preventive effect of such a "routine"? Routine infusion can't prevent stroke. Professor Wang Yongjun, director of Beijing Cerebrovascular Disease Rescue and Treatment Center, vice president of Beijing Tiantan Hospital and director of neurology, clearly pointed out that although the incidence of cerebrovascular disease is high in autumn and winter, there is no scientific basis to prevent cerebrovascular disease only by preventive infusion.
Cerebrovascular diseases should be comprehensively prevented according to the causes, and one or two drugs alone cannot play a preventive role. At present, there is no panacea to prevent cerebrovascular diseases. Patients should not listen to the statement that infusion in spring and autumn can prevent cerebrovascular diseases.
Zhao Zhigang, deputy chief physician of Pharmacy Department of Tiantan Hospital, said that preventive infusion for patients mainly includes drugs such as promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, reducing blood viscosity, anti-free radicals and anti-platelet aggregation, which may play a certain role in preventing and treating cerebrovascular diseases in theory. However, the feasibility of a treatment plan needs to be verified by evidence-based medicine (that is, the diagnosis and treatment of diseases should be based on evidence-based medicine and the best treatment plan should be provided according to the actual situation of patients).
At present, the "routine" infusion prevention method has not been scientifically, rigorously and clinically verified on a large scale. In addition, even the best infusion drugs are not 100% pure, so infusion will increase the chances of infection and infusion reactions (such as fever, pulmonary edema, phlebitis, air embolism, etc.). ).
In the process of blood transfusion, impurities entering blood vessels will cause blood infection and vascular endothelial damage, which will lead to fat deposition, atherosclerosis and the formation of new embolism over time. The reasonable principle of clinical medication should be: under the premise of clear indications, do not inject those who can be treated orally, and inject as little as possible.
Professor Wang Yongjun pointed out that cerebrovascular disease is also called stroke, and stroke can be divided into ischemic stroke (cerebral infarction) and hemorrhagic stroke (cerebral hemorrhage). Cerebral infarction refers to localized ischemic necrosis or encephalomalacia of brain tissue caused by blood supply disorder, ischemia and hypoxia.
Cerebral infarction accounts for about 60%~80% of all strokes. Cerebral hemorrhage refers to non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage.
There are many pathogenic factors of cerebrovascular disease, which can be divided into two categories: one is changeable risk factor, and the other is unchangeable risk factor. As long as it is taken seriously, the risk factors that can be changed can be eliminated.
These factors are: hypertension, smoking, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, alcohol and drug abuse, obesity and sedentary lifestyle. Some risk factors of cerebrovascular diseases cannot or are not easy to control. These factors are: age, gender, race, geographical environment, genetic factors and so on. Such as old age, male, yellow and black race, cold environment, genetic family history, etc.
Controlling risk factors, reasonable diet, moderate exercise and psychological balance are effective methods to prevent stroke. According to a recent survey by the American Institute of Neuroscience, the mortality rate of stroke patients has dropped by 33%.
People have become more and more aware of how to reduce or eliminate the risk factors of stroke, such as actively treating hypertension, preventing obesity, reducing the intake of cholesterol food and quitting smoking. Controlling and eliminating risk factors can definitely prevent the occurrence of cerebrovascular diseases.
However, there is no medical scientific evidence that regular infusion of some drugs to dredge blood vessels can prevent cerebrovascular diseases. Can stroke be predicted? A variety of stroke predictors have been produced several years ago, and stroke predictors are all the rage.
However, people soon discovered many counterproductive results. Some people judged as "safe" by stroke forecasters developed hemiplegia shortly after the prediction. Anything else that is normal is labeled as "dangerous". 1990 the national conference on cerebrovascular diseases was held in Luoyang, and the experts attending the conference agreed that the popular stroke predictor should be abandoned.
At that time, the popular stroke prediction mainly used two means. One is to draw blood to detect hemorheology, and then input these data into the computer to draw a conclusion. The other is based on pulse meter or microcirculation measurement.
No real cerebrovascular expert invented this instrument. These predictions unilaterally emphasize some risk factors of cerebrovascular diseases, and these factors are not the main risk factors, so the prediction results will not be accurate. Although the current technology can't make short-term prediction of cerebrovascular diseases, it can make long-term prediction based on the understanding of risk factors.
This prediction is not to determine whether a person will suffer from cerebrovascular disease, but to tell the patient the probability of suffering from cerebrovascular disease in 10 years. When the risk factors are controlled and dealt with, this probability will be reduced. When you know the risk factors of stroke, you can evaluate whether you may have a stroke according to your own specific situation, and take necessary preventive measures under the guidance of doctors according to the analysis of the risk factors of stroke.
Be on high alert when you have a small stroke. When a person has pre-stroke symptoms, he should be on high alert. There is a condition called transient cerebral ischemia (TIA), which is one of the common pre-stroke symptoms.
TIA can be called mini-stroke, and patients with mini-stroke can fully recover within 24 hours. Most minor strokes last only 1~5 minutes.
If the necessary treatment is not given, about half of patients with mild stroke will have a stroke within one year. The symptoms of mild stroke are similar to those of stroke, and there are also unclear language expression, muscle weakness, visual impairment or mental confusion, but the duration is short.
If the patient has symptoms of minor seizures, he should see a doctor in time so that the doctor can identify and evaluate them and take corresponding measures. Recently, the temperature in the northern region has changed greatly, which is a high incidence period of cerebrovascular diseases. It is hoped that the elderly and patients with cerebrovascular diseases will pay attention to adding clothes in time and look for them according to their own specific conditions under the guidance of doctors.
