The heart fears salt, the kidneys fear meat, the blood vessels fear shock: keep these dietary basics in mind

Our body is an organic whole, and only when every "part" works properly can human health be guaranteed. A problem with any single "part" can endanger life.

Blood vessels, heart, stomach, lungs, kidneys, liver, intestines, nose, eyes: harm them, and health is hard to preserve!

But did you know? Each of them has only one "fatal killer," and it is right beside you!

Health Circle has gathered the views of many experts to tell everyone how to protect the "parts" of our body!

One

The heart fears salt

Too much salt increases the burden on the heart

At present, the main component of table salt is sodium chloride. If sodium is taken in excess, it causes water retention in the body, raises the pressure inside blood vessels, increases resistance, and aggravates the burden on the heart.

Therefore, people with poor heart function will feel uncomfortable if they eat too salty food. Patients with heart failure in particular need to control their intake of salt as well as water.

Besides table salt, monosodium glutamate and soy sauce also contain salt. Using them in excess will cause salt intake to exceed the standard.

Suggestions

1. Eat no more than 6 grams of salt a day, equivalent to the amount in 1 beer bottle cap.

2. It is best to choose low-sodium salt. Low-sodium salt has 20% of the sodium chloride removed and replaced with potassium chloride, which not only reduces sodium ions and lowers the risk of high blood pressure, but potassium ions also help lower blood pressure.

3. If the dishes are too salty, do not forget to drink more plain boiled water.

Two

The stomach fears cold

When the stomach is exposed to cold, it causes contractions, spasms and colic

For the stomach, "cold" is the hardest thing to accept. Once the stomach is stimulated by cold air or cold food, it is prone to contract and spasm, causing stomach colic and diarrhea. People with gastrointestinal diseases all know that when the stomach and intestines are uncomfortable, holding a hot water bottle against them for a while makes them feel better.

Cold things cause gastrointestinal discomfort because cold makes the blood vessels of the stomach and intestines contract, affecting the transformation of food through the mucous membrane of the digestive tract into blood.

Stomach pain, abdominal discomfort and reduced digestive ability: eating raw and cold food at this time will cause or worsen the symptoms of stomach discomfort.

Suggestions

1、

Do not eat food just taken out of the refrigerator directly; it can be heated or left at room temperature.

2、

Usually recommended

Taro and mutton soup

Taro is rich in protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, potassium and many other components, and has effects such as strengthening the spleen, dissipating nodules, regulating middle qi, resolving phlegm, and replenishing essence and marrow. Paired with mutton, it is also a fine health-preserving product, with the effect of strengthening the spleen and warming the stomach.

Three

The kidneys fear meat

Excess protein, beware of exhausting the kidneys

Frequent social engagements with big fish and big meat easily lead to excessive protein intake. Long-term high protein intake increases the burden on the kidneys and may even keep the kidneys in an "overloaded" state for a long time.

Protein is not limited to eggs and milk; all kinds of meat, seafood and beans also contain relatively high protein. When you are fond of eating high-protein foods, or blindly supplementing with high-protein nutritional products, beware of exhausting your kidneys.

Suggestions

1、

Adults can meet their needs by taking in 60 grams to 80 grams of protein a day.

2、

Generally, each jin of pork contains 84.5 grams and each jin of beef contains 100.5 grams of protein.

In addition, eggs, milk and soy products all contain protein, so calculated this way, do not eat more than 4 liang of meat a day.

3、

You can eat more Chinese yam. Chinese yam can nourish many organs, but ultimately it mainly tonifies the kidneys. Eating Chinese yam often can enhance the kidney's detoxification function.

Four

The liver fears fat

Fatty liver, which in severe cases develops into liver cancer

Obesity easily causes fatty liver, and in severe cases it can trigger liver fibrosis, then develop into cirrhosis and liver cancer.

Fatty liver has replaced viral hepatitis to become the number one liver disease among residents in our country. Research has found that the liver of obese people ages very noticeably. On average, for every 10-point increase in body mass index (BMI), the liver's "age" increases by 3.3 years.

Suggestions

1、

Controlling diet plus reasonable exercise is the best way to lose weight.

2、

Once you realize your weight is over the standard, start controlling your diet while ensuring three reasonable meals, make a complete plan, and reduce weight in stages and steps.

3、

The liver is the body's largest detoxification organ, and most drugs need to be metabolized by the liver, so the incidence of drug-induced liver damage caused by this is also high. Therefore, when using drugs, pay attention to their adverse reactions and do not use drugs on your own.

Five

Blood vessels fear shock

Large blood pressure fluctuations make accidents more likely

Blood vessels are like a rubber hose. Whenever the weather turns cold, the rubber becomes brittle, and if the water pressure increases, it easily cracks. Our blood vessels are the same.

In addition, as far as blood vessels themselves are concerned, they also follow the principle of "contracting with cold and expanding with heat": in hot summer, blood vessels dilate, and in cold winter, blood pressure drops.

When the climate changes, blood pressure fluctuations increase, leading to more cases of cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction. Especially in middle-aged and older people, whose blood vessel elasticity is itself worse than that of young people, so the probability of accidents such as cerebral hemorrhage is higher.

Suggestions

1、

Go to bed early and stay up late less.

Because when you stay up late, it is not only you: the biological clock of the heart and blood vessels is also disrupted, causing the body to secrete too much adrenaline and norepinephrine, making blood vessels contract, blood flow slow, and viscosity increase.

2、

Eat some blood vessel "scavengers"

Hawthorn, oats, black fungus, kumquat, eggplant, sweet potato, garlic and onion, these eight foods are best at clearing blood vessels and maintaining the elasticity of blood vessel walls.

Six

The intestines fear holding it in

Harmful substances are absorbed again

Stool contains a large amount of bacteria and toxins and cannot remain in the body for a long time. Normal people need to have a bowel movement once a day.

According to Dazhong Digital News, holding in stool is a bad living habit. If stool is not expelled in time, water will be repeatedly absorbed by the intestines, causing dry, hard stool that is difficult to pass.

If the toxins in stool accumulate in the body for too long, harmful substances are absorbed by the intestines, and symptoms such as listlessness, dizziness, fatigue and reduced appetite will appear; in severe cases, it may even cause intestinal cancer.

Suggestions

1、

Do not hold in bowel movements

Morning after waking and after breakfast are good times for bowel movements; at these times, be sure not to hold it in. As long as you persist in developing regular bowel movements, you can gradually establish a conditioned reflex for defecation, and after getting used to it, you can have bowel movements on time.

2、

Do not hold in drinking water

Many people do not realize that drinking water is related to intestinal health. Some people are so busy that they do not even take a sip of water, and by the time their throat is burning, they are already unbearably thirsty. They pick up a cup and gulp it down, drink a bellyful of water, and feel uncomfortable all afternoon. Therefore, do not "hold in" drinking water either.

Seven

The lungs fear smoke

Smoking carries a high risk of cancer

People who smoke long-term, are long-term exposed to secondhand smoke, or come into long-term contact with smoke and dust at work are at high risk for lung cancer. In medicine, the smoking index is used to express the relationship between cumulative smoking amount and lung cancer. Smoking index = number of cigarettes smoked per day x number of years of smoking.

If a smoker smokes a pack of 20 cigarettes a day for 20 years in a row (counting 365 days a year), that is 7300 packs, then his smoking index is 20 x 20 = 400. A "smoking index" >400 means he should be listed among the lung cancer risk group.

Suggestions

1、

It is never too late to quit smoking. Start quitting now.

2、

In addition, also keep family members around you away from the harm of secondhand smoke, and never smoke at home.

Eight

The eyes fear strain

Eye strain affects the five zang and six fu organs

The eyes can be called the most "delicate" organ. When it comes to enduring strain, the eyes are the least able to hide it. Traditional Chinese medicine has the saying that "strain enters through the eyes." When the eyes are overworked, it also affects the five zang and six fu organs, producing fatigue symptoms such as headache, insomnia, irritability and nausea.

Suggestions

1、

When looking at computers, mobile phones and other electronic products, take a rest of about 10 minutes every 45 minutes.

2、

Pinch the thumb

The three adjacent acupoints on the thumb are the Mingyan acupoint, Fengyan acupoint and Dakonggu acupoint.

Use the thumb and index finger of one hand to hold the thumb of the other hand, and use the fingernails to stimulate these three acupoints respectively, pinching and pressing with a force that causes slight pain, repeating 10 times.

This method has the effect of refreshing the mind and can quickly and effectively relieve eye fatigue.

Nine

The ears fear cold

Little blood flow, little energy

The ears are an organ that fears cold, and this has to do with their "thinness."

Under the thin skin of the ears is cartilage, with almost no fat. Moreover, the ears are distributed with terminal capillaries, so little blood flows through them, and there is little energy and heat. Therefore, as soon as the cold wind blows, the ears shiver.

Since the ears fear cold so much, good work must be done to keep them warm and prevent frostbite, especially for people whose ears easily get chilblains.

Suggestions

1、

When the weather is cold, wear earmuffs when going out, or cover the ears with a hat or scarf.

2、

When blowing your nose, press one nostril and blow out the other side with slight force, doing one side at a time, so as to avoid causing middle ear infection.

Blood vessels fear shock, the heart fears salt, the intestines fear holding it in... The killer of each organ in the body is only one word, and it is right beside us.

It is recommended that middle-aged and older friends remember this, so as to smoothly avoid the possible harm to each organ and thus preserve health and prolong life. It is worth recommending to good friends to take a look!
