What are the dangers of high blood viscosity and how to regulate it?

High blood viscosity is a common phenomenon among modern people, especially in the middle-aged and elderly population. This is because modern people have abundant living materials, but their body consumption has decreased, resulting in overnutrition and high blood fat and excessive blood viscosity. What are the dangers of high blood viscosity and how to regulate it? Let me briefly explain it to you below.

Blood viscosity is the abbreviation of blood viscosity and is one of the indicators reflecting blood viscosity. The main factors affecting blood viscosity include: red blood cell aggregation and deformability, hematocrit, size and shape, the content of cholesterol, triglycerides and fibrinogen in the blood, etc. Increased blood viscosity is conducive to the occurrence of coronary heart disease and may even induce acute myocardial infarction.

① Drink more water: Pay attention to the timing of drinking water, such as before getting up in the morning, before each meal (1 hour) and before going to bed. It is best to drink no less than 2000 ml per day.

② Choose foods that can dilute the blood: These foods include hawthorn, black fungus, garlic, onion, green onion, bell pepper, mushroom, strawberry, pineapple, lemon, etc. which can inhibit platelet aggregation and prevent thrombosis; foods with anticoagulant effects similar to aspirin include hawthorn, tomato, red grape, orange, ginger; foods with lipid-regulating effects include hawthorn, spirulina, celery, carrot, konjac, seaweed, kelp, purslane, walnut, corn, sesame, apple, kiwi, etc.

③ Reasonable diet: eat less animal offal and animal fat, eat less fried food, do not eat too much meat and greasy food for dinner, eat less sweets. It is advisable to eat light food on weekdays, mainly vegetarian, and a combination of coarse and fine grains.
