Is high temperature the "trigger" for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases? These 3 questions are the most common

High temperature is a high-risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and blood vessels may rupture at any time. Research has found that as long as the temperature exceeds 32°C, the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will increase by 60%, and the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will increase as the temperature rises. What cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems can be caused by hot weather?

1. Cardio-cerebrovascular blockage or ischemia

In hot summer, metabolism speeds up and blood flow speed also increases, thereby increasing the burden on the heart. In the hot summer, you sweat more, and body surface water can be lost with sweat. Failure to replenish water in time can increase blood viscosity, affect blood circulation, and easily generate thrombus, causing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular blockage or ischemia of important organs.

2. Inducing heart disease or stroke

Too high a temperature can affect the blood circulation system, especially in an environment with high temperature and high humidity, low oxygen content, and adverse effects on the heart and brain. People with vascular disease are prone to stroke or heart disease.

3. Cerebral infarction or angina pectoris

The hot weather coupled with the breeding of a large number of mosquitoes seriously affects the quality of people’s sleep, and their mood becomes extremely irritable, which can cause a sudden increase in blood pressure. If it is low, it increases the risk of cerebral infarction and angina pectoris, and may even cause sudden death.

1. Avoid smoking and drinking

Smoking for a long time can damage the vascular endothelium, cause atherosclerosis, and promote thrombosis; drinking a lot of alcohol can excite the sympathetic nerves, accelerate the heart rate, and easily induce Myocardial infarction or cerebral infarction, so you must quit smoking and drinking.

2. Sit less and move more

Every hour you sit, you should stand up and move around for 10 minutes, stretch or take a walk. Take 30 minutes to exercise every day, such as brisk walking, cycling, or jogging 4 to 5 times a week. This can promote blood circulation and prevent thrombosis.

3. Use the air conditioner with caution

Air conditioners should be used correctly in hot summer. The air conditioner temperature should not be turned on too low, 26 is enough. The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor should not be too large, and should be controlled between 5 and 7 degrees Celsius, because frequent entry and exit of air-conditioned rooms will cause blood vessels to suddenly contract or expand, causing blood pressure to fluctuate violently, which can lead to stroke.

4. Drink less cold drinks

In hot weather, the body loses water quickly. Failure to replenish water in time will increase blood viscosity, reduce blood volume, and cause stroke. Therefore, you should drink more water in summer, but you cannot drink iced drinks or eat ice cream.

5. Pay attention to a light diet

In summer, pay attention to a hygienic and light diet, eat less high-fat and high-cholesterol foods, and reduce the number of meals out. You may wish to eat more seasonal fruits such as citrus fruits, tomatoes, spinach or celery, which can help thin the blood.

6. Get enough sleep

Don’t stay up late in summer and make sure you fall asleep before 23:00. Taking a 30-minute lunch break at noon can help lower blood pressure, slow down the heart rate, and protect heart and brain health.

7. Adjust your mood

In summer, the fire is strong and the temper becomes extremely irritable, which is the fuse of cerebrovascular disease. Therefore, you can adjust your mentality, maintain optimism, and release psychological pressure in a timely manner.

Warm reminder

People at high risk of cerebrovascular disease should stabilize various indicators such as blood pressure, blood lipids and blood sugar to minimize the risk of disease. In addition, you should not exercise blindly in summer, especially morning exercise. You may wish to schedule it after 7 o'clock in the evening and choose moderate sports, such as walking, Tai Chi or cycling, etc. The exercise time should be controlled within 60 minutes.
