How to prevent the high incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in the morning? Doctor: It's Important to Break These Bad Morning Habits
Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should be heard in daily life. It does not refer to a specific disease, but a series of lesions based on arterial lesions. This includes cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction.
According to the current clinical data, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are the biggest cause of disability and death among Chinese residents.
The causes of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are actually very complex, which involves many aspects such as genetics, age growth, unhealthy diet and living habits, gender, and three high diseases . The pathogenesis is that the patient's arterial blood vessels have atherosclerosis , thrombosis or sudden rupture, which eventually leads to the onset of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
In clinical practice in China, there are many patients with sudden acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases , in fact, after getting up in the morning. The reason for this is that it has been affected by many bad behaviors, especially the following points that need to be vigilant:
1. Getting up too fast
After a person enters a sleep state, blood pressure will gradually drop and the heart rate will slow down. At this time, the human body is mainly controlled by the vagus nerve. However, after getting up in the morning, the sympathetic nerve excitation period increases, and the renin-angiotensin system is activated , so the blood pressure will increase and the heart rate will increase.
For people with a history of hypertension and atherosclerosis, the blood vessels cannot adapt to changes in the body , which will cause the heart rate to further increase and blood pressure to rise. In the case of getting up too fast, this extremely fast body position change is likely to lead to sudden onset of myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction;
2. Practice in the morning
In fact, human blood vessels have a very strong ability to sense temperature changes, and even now that it has entered the end of spring, the temperature difference between day and night in many areas is relatively large, and the temperature after waking up in the morning is relatively low.
If you get up early for morning exercise, your blood pressure will not only be relatively high at this time, but also under the influence of cold stimulation, it will often lead to vasospasm and increase the incidence of cerebrovascular accidents;
3. Stool hard
In fact, developing a good habit of defecation in the morning is good for health and gastrointestinal function. However, if you already have underlying diseases and are troubled by constipation, it is very dangerous to have a bowel movement after waking up in the morning.
Because in the process of forced defecation, it will cause a sudden increase in abdominal pressure and a rapid increase in blood pressure in a short period of time . Once the plaque in the blood vessel falls off to form a thrombus, or the blood vessel suddenly ruptures , it may cause the sudden onset of acute cardiovascular disease ;
4. Incorrect choice of breakfast
Eating too greasy and salty breakfast will increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Because greasy food contains a lot of fat and cholesterol, these substances are the cause of obesity, and obesity can lead to problems such as metabolic disorders, hyperlipidemia or blood sugar disorders .
However, taking a large amount of salt will cause water and sodium retention and increase blood volume, which has no benefit for blood pressure control.
In addition, it is not recommended for everyone to eat too much food in the morning, because the intake of food exceeds the standard, which increases the digestive burden on the stomach, and a large amount of blood is supplied to the stomach and the brain. increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
All in all, for patients with underlying diseases, the morning is actually a dangerous time for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and everyone should be vigilant and pay special attention in all aspects.
In addition, patients also need to regularly test their blood pressure, blood lipids and glycemic index, and strictly follow the doctor's recommendations for medication and treatment to reduce the chance of future cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases finding themselves.
