What causes sudden death? Is sudden death really an accident? In fact, everyone is not normal before sudden death, and the body will send us some signals to remind us of "danger."
The doctor reminds: Before sudden death, there will be these five symptoms. If I had known, I might have saved my life!
Symptom 1: Sudden heartbeat and syncope.
The number of beats per minute of the heart must be regular, with 50-60 beats per minute being the best. If the heartbeat is too fast, it will exceed 100, or even higher, which will be dangerous.
Some people even faint, which is the most obvious sign before sudden death. If you don't pay attention to it, it will often lead to cardiac arrest.
In order to avoid sudden death, you should go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination as soon as possible.
Symptom 2: Dyspnea and purple lips.
Many people sit for a long time because of work, which leads to poor blood circulation throughout the body. This has a very negative impact on the body.
According to statistics, people who sit for a long time or maintain a posture will hold their breath and their lips will turn purple, which is also an early sign of sudden death.
Symptom 3: Fatigue
Sudden death is not a patent for the elderly, but also happens to young people.
It is normal for many young people to bear heavy work pressure and fatigue. However, if there is unexplained fatigue, or accompanied by chest tightness and edema, we should be alert to the occurrence of sudden death, which may be caused by myocarditis or cardiomyopathy.
Myocarditis is more common in young people. It usually occurs after a cold 1~2 weeks, with symptoms such as fatigue, chest tightness and fatigue, which is easy to cause acute heart failure.
Symptom 4: Limb numbness of different causes.
If the body feels numb, it is also a typical symptom of cerebral thrombosis and cerebral hemorrhage. If you don't intervene in time, once a large number of cerebral hemorrhage, you will die suddenly.
Therefore, once limb numbness occurs, you must go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination, and the diagnosis is related to cerebrovascular diseases. You must be treated by medicine and surgery.
Symptom 5: Pain
Among the signals before sudden death, pain is the easiest signal to grasp and perceive. When you feel intense, tight, squeezing pain in your chest and feel suffocated, you should be alert.
If heart patients often feel pain in their shoulders, neck, chin and arms, it is a signal of myocardial ischemia.
The typical manifestation of coronary heart disease is chest pain, which usually occurs behind the sternum. The whole boundary is not very clear, and its area will be larger (similar to the palm area), or it is not clear where it hurts, mainly because of the feeling of tightness and pain.
Therefore, if you want to prevent sudden death, you must know what the heart "likes" in daily life:
1, unsaturated fatty acid α -linolenic acid
α -linolenic acid is the precursor of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, and it is a nutrient that human body needs very much and is generally lacking. Unsaturated fatty acid α -linolenic acid is the most serious fatty acid lacking in human body!
α -linolenic acid is the main component of cell membrane, which participates in fat metabolism and sugar metabolism in vivo. Regular consumption also helps to remove blood waste, enhance blood vessel elasticity, prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction, and reduce blood lipids.
People should supplement polyunsaturated fatty acids every day to improve the imbalance of human fatty acids. The daily intake of α -linolenic acid (polyunsaturated fatty acids) recommended by China Nutrition Society in version 20 13 is 1600- 1800 mg.
Dietary advice: There are not many sources of unsaturated fatty acids. Generally, animal food is rich in deep-sea fish, while vegetable edible oil is rich in palm linseed oil and perilla oil. You can eat 5- 10 ml directly every day. The former contains more than 55% α -linolenic acid, while the latter contains more than 66% α -linolenic acid. You can also mix palm linseed oil or perilla oil with yogurt.
2. allicin
A large number of experimental data show that the daily intake of garlic extract of 1g (equivalent to 28g garlic) can reduce malignant cholesterol and neutral fat by 60%~70%.
Both myocardial infarction and angina pectoris are caused by malignant cholesterol and neutral fat, so eating garlic can play a role in preventing heart disease.
After we cut the garlic, we should leave it for 10 minutes before using it, because the garlic can completely release this sulfur-containing compound.
3. Red food
Modern research shows that cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in jujube can dilate blood vessels, enhance myocardial contractility, increase blood oxygen carrying capacity, increase oxygen supply to the heart, and make the heart complete blood circulation better.
Grapefruit pulp is red and tender, juicy and refreshing, and tastes bitter, which conforms to the food characteristics that the heart likes. At the same time, grapefruit contains potassium, but does not contain sodium, which is the best fruit to maintain the cardiovascular system.
Red apples are rich in potassium, which can reduce the risk of hypertension caused by excessive sodium intake. Apples are also rich in dietary fiber. Increasing dietary fiber, especially soluble dietary fiber, can reduce the absorption of cholesterol, promote the excretion of cholesterol from human body and reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
