How can men protect heart health?
1. Eat kiwi
Kiwi can protect you from heart disease. A study by the University of Oslo in Norway showed that kiwi fruit can reduce the incidence of platelet clumping by 18% and reduce the level of triglycerides in the blood by 15%.
2. Weight control
Weight control is important for managing cardiovascular disease, and if you are overweight, you need to lose weight. Eat less and exercise more under the advice of nutritionists and physicians, and lose weight through healthy methods to make your heart healthier.
3. Cook with olive oil
Using olive oil rich in monounsaturated fatty acids in salads, roasts or baked goods can lower levels of "bad cholesterol" and raise levels of "good cholesterol", which is good for heart health. It's best to choose high-quality virgin olive oil, which contains a variety of heart-healthy antioxidants.
4. Eat an apple a day
Apple's fiber, pectin, antioxidants, etc. can reduce bad cholesterol in the body and increase the content of good cholesterol, so eating one or two apples a day is not easy to get heart disease. Apples also contain boron, a mineral that helps maintain bone density and protect the heart from heart disease.
5. Drowsiness protects the heart
It is the choice of many office workers to reduce sleep time in exchange for work and entertainment time. A Norwegian study found that if you don't feel refreshed in the morning, your risk of heart attack increases by 27%. There are also increased risk factors for diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes. So don't wait until you're exhausted to catch up on a nap, but take the opportunity to take a nap anytime, anywhere.
6. Eat less salt
The American Heart Association recently recommended that everyone eat less than 1,500 milligrams of salt a day, about two-thirds of a tablespoon. They used to recommend that you eat less than 2,300 mg of salt a day. Salt can cause high blood pressure and heart disease. Eat less salt in your dishes, and watch out for salt hidden in packaged foods such as canned soups, frozen meals, cured meats, and snacks.
7. Avoid polluted air
A University of Washington study found that inhaling ultra-fine pollution particles can thicken the walls of carotid arteries and induce heart disease. A study published in the journal Atmospheric Environment found that air pollution particles peak in the early mornings of winter, so it's better to run or cycle outside in the afternoon. When air pollution is severe, it is best to exercise indoors.
8. Drink some juice for breakfast
Orange juice is rich in folic acid, which reduces levels of the amino acid homocysteine, which is linked to heart attack risk; grape juice contains antioxidant flavonoids and resveratrol, which inhibit platelet aggregation and prevent arterial thrombosis. Choose 100% pure fruit juice to prevent too much sugar intake.
9. Always smile
Studies have found that watching humorous movies can dilate people's blood vessels, while watching stressful movies can cause blood vessels to constrict, and the difference in blood vessel diameters reaches 30%-50%. Laughter releases stress, protects the vascular endothelium, and allows smoother blood circulation. Therefore, if you want to keep your heart alive at all times, you must keep a cheerful mood and smile often.
10. Couples live two or three times a week
A study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that men who married less than once a month had a 45 percent higher risk of heart disease than men who married two or three times a week. Like exercise, married life can have a protective effect on the cardiovascular system.
11. Keep your bones healthy
Research published in the "Journal of Internal Medicine" shows that 60% of patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis are likely to have a heart attack, so it is necessary to seek medical attention in time for bone and joint problems.
12. Quit smoking and limit alcohol
Alcohol can directly damage the heart muscle, enlarge the atrium, interfere with the normal rhythm of the heart, and cause atrial fibrillation. In addition, smoking can also adversely affect the heart. Therefore, men should, like most women, stop smoking and limit alcohol consumption.
13. Eat less sweets
People with normal blood pressure who eat more than a certain amount of sugar a day are at risk of elevated blood pressure. The daily intake of sugar for the elderly is best controlled at 20-30 grams. The sugar content of two or three sweet biscuits can easily exceed 20 grams. Generally, the sugar content of a 500 ml bottle of sweetened beverages is 40-50 grams. In addition, prepared beverages such as soy milk powder, bagged oatmeal, black sesame paste, lotus root starch, etc., contain nearly 60% sugar and should be eaten with caution.
