There are 4 major signs of excessive blood waste. If you ignore it, something bad will happen sooner or later

As we age, some "garbage" will slowly accumulate in our blood. If these "garbage" are not cleaned up in time, blood flow will not be smooth. When the blood is viscous, it can easily cause blood vessel blockage, and even lead to diseases such as cerebral thrombosis and cerebral infarction. Blood viscosity is also called blood thickening. In medicine, it is called hyperviscosity, which is common in middle-aged and elderly people and can be diagnosed through blood rheology examination. When the blood starts to become viscous, it is difficult to detect. If you experience any of the following 4 symptoms, you should be alert.

1 I feel dizzy when I wake up in the morning and feel awake at night.

People with high blood viscosity will feel dizzy when they wake up in the morning. They will feel better at noon and gradually regain consciousness and return to normal mental state at night.

2 Intermittent blurring of vision.

Normally, my eyes can see things fine, but after a while, the vision becomes blurry and I can’t see clearly. This is because the viscosity of the blood cannot provide sufficient nutrition to the optic nerve, causing temporary ischemia and hypoxia of the optic nerve and retina, so you may not be able to see clearly for a while.

3 Feeling sleepy after lunch.

Normal people will feel sleepy after lunch, but people with high blood viscosity must sleep for about one to two hours after lunch, otherwise they will feel listless for the whole afternoon.

4. Chest tightness and shortness of breath when squatting.

People with high blood viscosity are generally fatter, and it is a little difficult for them to squat. When you squat to work, you will feel chest tightness and shortness of breath. This is because the amount of blood returning to the heart is reduced when you squat, and the blood is thick and returns slowly, causing organ ischemia and leading to difficulty breathing, chest tightness, etc.

If you experience any of the above two symptoms, it is time to take appropriate action. High blood lipids and blood viscosity can lead to complications such as insufficient blood supply to the brain, cerebral arteriosclerosis, cerebral thrombosis, and even cerebral infarction. Active and comprehensive conditioning is required, including medication improvement and diet and lifestyle conditioning to avoid the occurrence and development of complications.

Foods suitable for clearing blood vessels include

1 sesame oil

Sesame oil is the food with the highest omega-3 content known in the world. The content of omega-3 (α-linolenic acid) can reach more than 65%, which is 80 times the omega-3 content in olive oil.

α-linolenic acid can reduce neutral fats (cholesterol, triglycerides) in plasma, so it can help lower blood pressure, thereby inhibiting thrombotic diseases and preventing myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction.

2 salmon

Salmon is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which can effectively lower blood lipids and cholesterol, prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases. Eating it twice a week can reduce the probability of death from heart disease by one third.

3. Eat more soybeans

Soybeans are rich in lecithin, an emulsifier that can make the cholesterol particles in the blood smaller and keep them suspended, which helps lipids pass through blood vessel walls to be used by tissues, thereby lowering blood cholesterol and improving blood viscosity.

4. Blueberry Honey

The anthocyanins in blueberries can make the decomposition and resynthesis of rhodopsin, which is composed of vitamin A and rhodopsin in the retina of the eye, more active and effective, thus benefiting vision. Anthocyanin is a powerful antioxidant that can protect the human body from damage by free radicals, enhance blood vessel elasticity, improve the microcirculation system, and also have a good therapeutic effect on ophthalmic diseases and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

If you can drink 1 to 2 spoons of blueberry honey every day, mixed with a cup of warm water or adding milk, it will have a nourishing effect on the body.

5. Keep exercising

Such as walking, jogging, Tai Chi, mountain climbing, swimming, etc. to promote blood circulation and speed up lipid metabolism in the body.
