In autumn, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and the human body is more susceptible to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases due to the changes in external temperature, with autumn and winter being the peak seasons for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases every year. The causes of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are mostly related to daily diet. If people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases want to control their condition well, they should eat less of the following three types of food.
Eat less pickled vegetables
Excessive refined salt is one of the main causes of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. It is because refined salt contains a large amount of sodium. The more you eat, the more sodium you intake. Excessive sodium can cause excessive pressure on blood vessels, naturally leading to high blood pressure. If blood pressure is not well controlled, it can easily trigger various diseases such as heart attack, stroke, coronary heart disease, and also cause damage to the kidneys.
Drink less alcohol
It is recommended that people who have had cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should drink less alcohol, as alcohol contains high calories. Regular alcohol consumption not only harms the liver but the high calorie content can also suddenly dilate blood vessels, accelerate blood circulation, increase body temperature, and ultimately harm cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease patients!
Eat less desserts
Frequent consumption of sweets can lead to a high intake of calories, which can accumulate in the body in the form of fat, leading to obesity and even causing problems in the blood circulation system of blood vessels, thereby increasing the likelihood of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Eat more nuts
Nuts primarily consist of unsaturated fatty acids, which can increase the concentration of good cholesterol in the blood, while lowering bad cholesterol in the body. They also have lipid-lowering functions, effectively preventing cardiovascular diseases from occurring. Nuts are rich in vitamins and minerals. Almonds in nuts can lower blood cholesterol, maintain heart health, and are not only rich in unsaturated fatty acids but also high in vitamin C and vitamin E, as well as essential trace elements for the human body such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron.
Replace water with green tea
Drinking 3 cups of green tea every day can greatly reduce the risk of heart attack. These benefits are largely attributed to the rich flavonoid compounds in tea leaves, which have anti-inflammatory, anti-infection, anti-thrombotic, blood vessel function-promoting, and blood vessel debris-limiting effects. In addition to consuming the above foods, to better ward off cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, it is also important to engage in appropriate exercise in daily life.
