In our impression, sudden death usually occurs in people with high work pressure and lack of rest and exercise, such as white-collar workers and corporate executives. I don't know when it started, and sudden death began to frequent university campuses. So who took away the health of college students?
1, staying up late is a big culprit
For a considerable number of college students, staying up late is a common practice. In the vast university campus, people sleep all the time and wake up all the time, 24 hours a day. There are 100 reasons for staying up late: playing games, chasing plays, chasing fans, and working overtime to catch up on project reports and papers. Especially in the final review, the whole school stayed up all night, and the lights in the library and dormitory were on all night. The scene was spectacular.
As for the consequences visible to the naked eye after staying up late, we all know.
Of course, youth is the greatest wealth, and an occasional sleepless night or two can do no harm. But if you live in black and white every day because you are young, your body will call the police sooner or later. Let's see what scientists say.
An epidemiological study of 70,000 women aged 45-65 at Harvard University found that short sleep time is not conducive to heart health-compared with people who sleep for 8 hours a day, people who sleep less than 5 hours a day will have a 40% increase in the probability of heart disease. The reason is that short-term sleep deprivation is enough to make the sympathetic nervous system nervous, and lead to high blood pressure, increased secretion of stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline, decreased glucose tolerance and irregular heartbeat. All these factors are precursors of coronary heart disease.
Long-term lack of sleep will promote the development of hypertension, obesity and diabetes, and diseases such as hypertension, obesity or metabolic syndrome are precisely the factors that induce heart attacks. In addition, lack of sleep will unbalance human immune system, promote the level of inflammatory reaction in blood vessel wall, and promote the occurrence of atherosclerosis, thus increasing the risk of stroke. These cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are important causes of sudden death.
2. Unhealthy diet
After entering the university and escaping from the endless nagging of my mother at home, the foodies showed their true colors. Fried chicken, mutton kebabs and anything delicious are welcome. Vegetables, fruits and other "clean streams" were instantly put into limbo, and nutrition and health were all left behind.
Crisis lurks in these seemingly delicious foods. Foodies' favorite hot pot, mutton kebabs and fried chicken all contain a lot of salt, and long-term consumption can easily lead to an increase in blood pressure. At the same time, the fat contained in these foods will also lead to the increase of human plasma cholesterol and promote the formation of atherosclerosis. Over time, sudden death may also find you.
3, sedentary lack of exercise
"Don't move your ass all day" Remember the nagging of mothers? The otaku who entered the university put the Buddha in the sky, ate takeout, was named by his classmates, and didn't go downstairs for the last week ~ ~
This "comfortable" life may cost more than you think. At present, many studies have proved that sedentary behavior is related to many health problems, such as obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis. This undoubtedly increases the risk of sudden death.
American scientists recently conducted a study, and they found that sitting for several hours every day would increase the risk of coronary artery calcification. The researchers used non-invasive CT heart scans to detect the degree of coronary artery calcification. When calcification in blood vessels reaches a certain level, it will lead to arterial stenosis and induce coronary heart disease. They performed heart scans and physical activity index analysis on more than 2,000 adults living in Dallas, and found that the average sedentary time per day increased by 1 hour, and the burden of coronary artery calcification would increase by 65,438+04%.
4. Symptoms of sudden death
1. Sudden cardiac death: When the patient has this symptom, it may be anxiety and ischemia. General patients will have angina pectoris, premature beats, atrial fibrillation and other heart disease symptoms. Therefore, if the patient suffers from heart disease, it is suggested that drug control can be actively carried out, and then attention should be paid to relaxing the spirit and not doing too strenuous exercise.
2. Sudden death caused by other diseases: if the patient has cancer, flu, pneumonia, etc. It may cause sudden death. The specific physical symptoms of patients with different diseases are different, which requires detailed examination and symptomatic treatment, especially paying attention to whether the patient's own heart and blood pressure are normal.
3. Emotional excitement: Patients who are too emotional may also have symptoms of sudden death. Patients should pay attention to rest, relax properly, don't be too excited, keep calm, avoid anxiety and anger, and actively participate in physical exercise every day, but don't exercise excessively.
