As you get older, do you know what you should take care of? Many people will say that it is the stomach, and some people think that the liver should be nourished, and some people think that the kidney should be nourished, but there is another part that must not be ignored, that is, the blood vessels, if the blood vessels are not good, none of the stomach, liver and kidneys will be good, the reason is very simple, they all need to rely on the blood vessels to provide oxygen and nutrition, if the blood vessels have problems, then these organs can neither get oxygen nor nutrition, just ask, how can it be good?
Accompanied by aging, the elasticity of blood vessels deteriorates, the fragility increases, and the vascular endothelial cells continue to age or be damaged.
You look at those long-lived elderly people, in fact, they often have a characteristic, blood vessels are relatively good, the blood vessels of the human body are like a net, which is intricately intertwined, but constitutes a whole, so as to ensure that the fresh blood pumped out by the heart can reach any part of the body.
In other words, no matter which blood vessel is abnormal, it will lead to poor blood flow, and over time, the disease will naturally come.
There is a saying that the length of life is not an exaggeration to know by looking at the blood vessels, and the blood vessels of people with short life spans generally have 4 characteristics.
First, unexplained chest pain and tightness must be taken seriously
The heart is the body's most important power pump, without the power generated by the heart, there is no blood circulation, and if the heart fails, then the blood flow to all organs of the body may be restricted.
The heart itself also needs blood flow, and the coronary arteries that provide blood flow to the heart are shaped like an inverted, slightly flattened cone, and if you think of it as a head, the coronary arteries located on the top of the head and almost all around the heart resemble a crown, which is where the name comes from.
As we age, many people begin to suffer from coronary heart disease, which leads to a decrease in blood and oxygen supply to the heart, resulting in a series of abnormal manifestations such as chest pain and chest tightness, which will be more obvious after activity, and in severe cases, it will develop into myocardial infarction or heart failure.
Second, unexplained dizziness and headache must be taken seriously
Second, unexplained dizziness and headache must be taken seriously
The brain is the headquarters of the human body, the brain controls all the activities of the body, if the brain has a problem, it will have terrible consequences, the blood vessel network of the brain is as intricate as dense branches, if the cerebral arteries appear atherosclerosis, it will inevitably cause a decrease in the blood supply and oxygen supply to the cerebral arteries, then the patient will have dizziness and headache.
If not taken seriously, it will also lead to acute cerebral infarction, at which time the patient may also have numbness of the tongue, crooked corners of the mouth, aphasia, impaired movement of one limb, and impaired consciousness.
Third, unexplained lower limb pain, cramps, cyanosis, coldness, and claudication must be taken seriously
The lower limbs are far away from the heart, located at the end of the body, and are also prone to atherosclerosis, once the blood vessels of the lower limbs are narrowed, it may lead to pain, cramps, cyanosis, coldness, and limp in the lower limbs.
If a blood clot forms in the lower extremities, it is even more dangerous because the embolus can reach the lungs with blood circulation, causing pulmonary embolism, which is a terrible complication that can lead to death at any time if not treated in time.
Fourth, unexplained oliguria, elevated blood pressure, and positive urine protein must be paid attention to
With age, the renal arteries may develop atherosclerosis, and the renal blood vessels may be abnormal, which will directly affect the kidney function, leading to chronic renal failure, oliguria, increased blood pressure, positive urine protein, and in severe cases, acute thrombosis and uremia of the kidney.
As we all know, the kidneys are the part where toxins are excreted, and if there is a problem with the kidneys, the toxins cannot be excreted, then soon the whole body will be affected.
