Can a glass of water before going to bed prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases? Doctor: Actually, these three methods are more reliable!

It has to be said that in recent years, with the acceleration of the pace of life, changes in diet and living habits, and the gradual aging of the population, the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in China is getting higher and higher.

In 2019 alone, nearly 4.58 million people died of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in China , accounting for 43% of all deaths . It is a disease that seriously threatens the life and quality of life of the people!

　　The reasons for the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are not only related to genetics, but also influenced by acquired bad habits and chronic diseases. Therefore, more and more people are beginning to pay attention to health preservation and the prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. There are also many so-called prevention methods on the Internet. Among them, a glass of water in the morning and evening can prevent cardiovascular diseases.

　　So the question is, can a small glass of water really have the magical effect of preventing cardiovascular disease?

　　First of all, everyone must be clearly aware that when the body is dehydrated, timely replenishment of water can indeed dilute the blood, but this effect is actually very short-lived . The body will quickly adjust through metabolism and kidney filtration of blood. blood volume . Therefore, simply drinking water to prevent cardiovascular disease is not scientific at all.

　　On the contrary, if there are serious kidney failure, liver disease complicated with ascites, heart failure and other problems, drinking a lot of water will not only have no benefit, but will even increase the burden on the organs, resulting in more and more serious disease symptoms. Especially for people with heart disease, doctors often do not recommend drinking large amounts of water before bed.

　　In this case, what should we do to prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases scientifically?

1. Scientific diet

　　Maintaining a large intake of high-fat, high-calorie, and high-sugar foods for a long time is the most fundamental cause of obesity. Obesity is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Not only that, obesity also increases the risk of metabolic disorder syndrome, hypertension and hyperuricemia.

　　Therefore, in order to reduce the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, the first step is to adjust the diet, that is, to maintain a light, nutritionally balanced food intake. It is best to eat 6-7 minutes per meal .

On this basis, everyone should also avoid eating a lot of red meat and fatty meat, various desserts, sweetened beverages and other foods;

2. Scientific life

　　The adjustment of living habits is mainly divided into two parts. The first is to adjust from the daily routine. For example, you should increase the amount of exercise. You can do aerobic exercise about 5-6 times a week, and each exercise lasts for more than 30 minutes. mentality, ensure regular sleep, etc.

　　The second is to improve bad living habits, such as quitting smoking in time, not drinking alcohol, etc.;

　　3. Control underlying diseases

　　It takes quite a long time from a healthy arterial vessel to atherosclerosis and blockage. The appearance of these lesions is basically based on related diseases, which are well known as hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes .

　　If such a disease has already occurred, life adjustment is only part of it. What the patient really needs to do is to actively seek medical attention for examination, and then start scientific and targeted treatment according to the doctor's recommendation.

　　Finally, it should be emphasized that cardiovascular disease attacks are often sudden, so for patients who have developed three highs, atherosclerosis and other diseases, in addition to the above three points, it is also necessary to observe physical changes. If angina pectoris, chest tightness, shortness of breath, severe headache and other symptoms suddenly appear, you need to seek medical examination and treatment as soon as possible, so as not to miss the best control period of the disease.
