2. Dietary requirements for heart disease
1, eat less
Eating less means limiting the quantity and variety of food. Most patients with heart disease are overweight, so it is necessary to consciously control their daily calorie intake in order to lose weight and relieve heart disease. It is recommended to eat half full or 70% full every time, so as not to increase the burden on the stomach and cause heart disease. In addition, you should also eat less spicy and irritating foods and foods that are too cold and overheated to reduce gastrointestinal irritation.
2, less fat
Try to eat less high-fat and high-cholesterol foods such as fat, fat and animal offal. Too much fat can cause obesity and hyperlipidemia, and long-term hyperlipidemia is the main factor causing arteriosclerosis, so it is necessary to control the intake of fat. Cholesterol content directly affects human health. If it is too high, coronary heart disease, fatty liver, hyperlipidemia and other diseases will occur, which should be properly controlled. In terms of diet, we should avoid animal foods, eat less foods with high fat content such as fat, cream and butter, and eat less foods with high cholesterol such as liver, brain, roe and squid. You should choose to eat more beans, because soybeans contain lecithin and inorganic salts, which is very beneficial to the prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease.
3, less salt
Eating too much salt will lead to sodium and water retention, increased blood volume, and increased heart burden, which is not good for preventing heart disease. Therefore, it is best not to exceed 6 grams of salt every day.
3. Six self-test methods for diseases
First, steps reflect the inner state.
A steady and regular heartbeat is the cornerstone of life. In all cases of stroke, 20% is caused by arrhythmia. It is estimated that about 2.2 million people in the United States have symptoms of atrial fibrillation, and13 of them are unaware of it. Let them know their physical condition, which can greatly reduce the occurrence of stroke.
Family physical examination: put your finger on the artery of your wrist or neck, check your pulse, and step on it with your foot for one minute. If the heartbeat is irregular, you will find it difficult to keep up with the rhythm. A lot of scientific research shows that such a simple test can predict atrial fibrillation as high as 90%. If the test results are not satisfactory, you can take a rest and wait until your breathing and heartbeat are stable. If the pace is still difficult to keep up with the heartbeat rhythm, it is best to go to the hospital for examination in time.
Second, breathing can predict the risk of asthma.
Asthma, a respiratory disease, is terrible because it brings unprecedented challenges to patients' daily life, and daily exercise may even bring fatal risks to these people. In the United States, "neglected" asthma causes 6.5438+0.8 million people to enter the emergency room every year. A recent survey involving more than 4,000 people showed that 10% of them had undiagnosed asthma. Paul from the University of Arizona? Thomas Light said: "Don't underestimate asthma, it will make your life' more difficult'."
Physical examination at home: In the respiratory state study involving nearly 27,000 people, the researchers found that 90% of asthma can be predicted by two questions: 1. Have you ever found it difficult to breathe? 2. Have you ever experienced chest tightness and shortness of breath during exercise or exertion? "If you answer yes to one or two of these questions, then you should pay attention to the risk of asthma." Well, Thomas Light said.
Three, one-minute depression question and answer
Alex, a psychiatrist at the University of Leicester, UK? Dr. Michel analyzed 4 1 studies around the world and found that 50% of depression was misdiagnosed.
Physical examination at home: Researchers at the University of Auckland in New Zealand say that only two simple questions are needed to diagnose 97% of patients with depression. 1. In the past month, were you often troubled by unhappiness, depression or despair? 2. Have you been troubled by your lack of interest or unwillingness to do anything in the past month? If your answer to one or two of these questions is "yes", you should communicate with a psychologist in time.
Four or two minutes diabetes question and answer
If diabetes is not treated in time, it will increase the risk of heart disease and shorten the life span 10- 15 years. According to a survey conducted by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the early detection rate of diabetes is only 4%, and another 5.7 million people have been living with diabetes without knowing it. Dr. Peng Xijun from the Department of Public Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College said, "You only need to answer six questions in two minutes to know how close you are to diabetes."
Five, stretching exercise to detect the degree of arteriosclerosis.
Healthy blood vessels are as flexible as balloons, expanding and contracting regularly every day, bringing blood to the whole body. But aging, weight gain, sedentary, diabetes and other factors will lead to the formation of arterial plaques, and the arteries will become harder and harder. Without complicated physical examination, a small gesture can tell whether your arteries are as soft as stockings or as inelastic as old tires. According to a recent survey, the blood vessels of the people with the softest body in the sitting posture bending test are also the most elastic. What is the connection between the two? Dr. Kenta Yamamoto of the University of North Texas Health Science Center pointed out that the arterial wall is composed of smooth muscle cells and connective tissue, just like the muscles in your hips and back. So no matter where it hardens, it will have the same effect on other parts.
Family physical examination: sit on the floor with your legs straight forward and your toes at a 90-degree angle to the ceiling. Bend your waist forward, extend your arms to your feet, and try to touch your toes. "If you can't reach your toes, the risk of arteriosclerosis may increase. If you haven't taken your blood pressure in the past year, you have to take it now. " Yamamoto Kenta said.
Sixth, the palm detects anemia.
Iron deficiency anemia can reduce immunity, make you feel tired, backache and blurred vision. The clue to this disease is your palm.
Family physical examination: spread out the palm to see if the palm print is white. "No matter what your natural skin color is, the palmprint or abnormal whitening of your gums and eyelids is a signal that iron deficiency affects the blood circulation of subcutaneous capillaries." Feng, Texas Health Science Center, USA? Dr. Winkle said. If the palm print is white, it is best to go to the hospital for routine blood examination.
