Heartbeat is very important, what should we pay attention to?

The heart is an organ that beats constantly. It can be said that without the beating of the heart, people's lives will end immediately. It can be seen that the heart plays a very important role in people's hearts. The heart manifests differently in each person's body. Among them, many people's hearts have experienced heavy beating. This is abnormal and needs to be taken seriously. Let's take a look at what is important when it comes to heartbeat.

1. Control your weight

Studies have shown that a 10% increase in body weight leads to an average 18.5 increase in cholesterol and a 38% increase in the risk of coronary heart disease. A 20% increase in body weight leads to an 86% increase in the risk of coronary heart disease. The prevalence of coronary heart disease in hypertensive patients with diabetes is twice that in hypertensive patients without diabetes.

2. Quit smoking

The nicotine in tobacco can increase the heart rate, blood pressure (excessive smoking can also lower blood pressure), increase cardiac oxygen consumption, cause vasospasm, abnormal blood flow, and increased platelet adhesion. These adverse effects make the incidence of coronary heart disease in male smokers aged 30-49 three times higher than that of non-smokers, and smoking is also an important cause of angina attacks and sudden death.

3. Stop drinking

An experiment conducted by American scientists confirmed that ethanol is toxic to the heart. Excessive ethanol intake can reduce the contractile ability of the myocardium. For people with heart disease, excessive drinking will not only increase the burden on the heart, but may even cause arrhythmia, affect fat metabolism, and promote the formation of arteriosclerosis.

4. Improve living environment

Places with severe pollution and high noise levels may induce heart disease. Therefore, improve the living environment, expand the green area, reduce noise and prevent various pollution.

5. Avoid crowds

Avoid going to crowded places. Whether it is viral myocarditis, dilated cardiomyopathy, coronary heart disease, or rheumatic heart disease, they are all related to viral infection. Even heart failure often causes acute exacerbation due to upper respiratory tract infection. Therefore, be careful to avoid going to crowded places, especially during the cold season, to avoid infection.

6. Eat a healthy diet

There should be reasonable dietary arrangements. Hyperlipidemia, unbalanced diet, diabetes and obesity are all related to dietary nutrition, so nutritional factors are very important from the perspective of preventing and treating heart disease. In principle, the "three lows" should be achieved, namely: low calories, low fat and low cholesterol.
