What is a blood clot? Perhaps many people have no concept of this, and they have not even heard the word thrombosis.
Thrombosis is mainly a small piece formed by peeling or repairing the inner wall of human blood vessels, which will circulate to all parts of the body with the flow of blood, and if a large number of thrombus accumulates in a certain place, it will make the blood vessels blockage and affect the return of blood.
For example, cerebral blood vessels are blocked will form cerebral thrombosis to cause cerebral infarction, heart blood vessels to form thrombosis will cause myocardial infarction, the disability rate and mortality rate of these diseases are very high, and if the treatment is not timely, precious lives will be lost.
Such a terrible thrombus is not unpreventable, to stay away from the thrombus, it is natural to protect the body's blood vessels first.
Just like a water pipe, if the inner wall of the water pipe has debris, the first thing people think of is to remove the debris, the water pipe will naturally be smooth, usually pay attention not to let the debris into the pipe, naturally you can avoid the water pipe is blocked. If you want to protect blood vessels and prevent the occurrence of blood clots, you must try to adhere to "two more and one less" every day.
1. Drink plenty of water
Water is the source of all things, and 70% of the human body is composed of water, of which 82% is in the blood.
If a person's body is short of water, it will cause dehydration, dryness and discomfort in the mouth, eyes, nasal cavity, throat, skin, intestines, hair and other parts, and the lack of water in the blood will make the blood become too viscous, and blood circulation will be affected and cause various cardiovascular diseases.
Drinking more water can dilute the blood, make the circulatory function go smoothly, and can also make people urinate more to help the body detoxify.
2. Exercise more
When a person is active, the blood circulation of the whole body will be enhanced, which is conducive to improving the viscosity of the blood and preventing the occurrence of blood clots.
Because the blood flow speed is really fast during exercise, it will also make fat burn and decompose lipid plaques and metabolic waste in the blood will be correspondingly reduced, which will help the transformation of blood components, so people who sit still for a long time and do not like to exercise are more likely to suffer from blood diseases than people who exercise regularly.
And according to the data, people who sit still for more than 90 minutes reduce blood flow in the knee area by 50% and are more likely to develop venous thrombosis.
As early as 1992, the World Health Organization proposed that walking is one of the best exercises in the world, because when people walk, not only will not cause the body to be overworked, the muscles will not overstretch the bones, and the bones will not cause damage due to excessive weight bearing.
If everyone can walk for 30 minutes a day, they can meet the amount of exercise required every day, so that the blood circulation from head to toe is enhanced, and the continuous aerobic metabolism can also strengthen the cardiopulmonary function and effectively prevent thrombosis.
3. Smoke less
Smoking is harmful to health, this is something that many people know. But cigarettes for many people are irresistible, to know that cigarettes in the process of burning will release nearly 4,000 chemicals, including harmful substances, including no less than 38 toxic chemicals.
After these harmful substances enter the human body, it will affect the mouth, throat, trachea, lungs and other parts to cause various diseases, people will inhale harmful gases when breathing, so that the inhaled oxygen is reduced resulting in a decrease in blood oxygen saturation, blood becomes too concentrated after the circulatory function declines, the inner wall of blood vessels will be lesions, greatly increasing the incidence of thrombosis.
All in all, if you want blood vessels to remain unobstructed and not blocked, it is right to adhere to the above "two more and one less". It is necessary for everyone to improve the body's ability to resist disease and actively prevent the occurrence of diseases in order to make life better.
Especially for people with three highs whose blood vessels are unhealthy, they should pay more attention to light diet, moderate exercise, regular work and rest time, and do not smoke and drink, so as not to aggravate the condition of blood vessels.
