These 3 changes in ears and eyes may indicate heart problems

1. Ears

When you look in the mirror, have you ever looked at your earlobe carefully? If you find a crease on your earlobe , don't take it lightly. This is not just a simple skin wrinkle. It has a special name in medicine, called " ear crease heart sign ."

The earlobe is at the end of the blood circulation, and the blood vessels there are particularly thin. Once "bad cholesterol" messes up and deposits in the blood vessels, affecting blood supply, the earlobe is prone to wrinkles. Moreover, studies have found that people with such creases have an 80%-90% chance of coronary artery stenosis! Next time you look in the mirror, pay more attention to your ears.

2. Eyes

****If you find a grayish-white "senile ring" around your eyeball , don't think it's a normal phenomenon of aging. This is because the "bad cholesterol" increases and quietly settles around the edge of the eyeball, forming this light gray ring. It is an important precursor to coronary heart disease . If it can be discovered early, heart problems can be prevented in advance, so when you look in the mirror, you should also check your eyes carefully.

3. Eyelids

Some friends may find that some small tumors with similar color and irregular shape have grown on their eyelids. They feel harder than the surrounding skin and are not painful or itchy. This is actually a flavinoma, which is formed when "bad cholesterol" "camps" in the loose parts of the body, such as the eyelids. It is a warning from high cholesterol in the body . What exactly is "bad cholesterol" and why is it so scary?

The scientific name of "bad cholesterol" is low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. It can silently damage our blood vessels, accelerate atherosclerosis, and make blood vessels narrow. Serious diseases such as coronary heart disease and stroke may come knocking.

What’s even more terrible is that if those unstable plaques in the blood vessels rupture or blood clots break off, they can instantly block the blood vessels, causing acute myocardial infarction or cerebral infarction, directly endangering lives!

How to deal with "bad cholesterol"?

The first step is to understand your blood lipid level. Normal blood lipid standards are: total cholesterol <5.2mmol/L, triglycerides ≤1.7mmol/L, high-density lipoprotein ≥1mmol/L, low-density lipoprotein <3.4mmol/L .

However, if you smoke, are obese, or have a family history of early cardiovascular disease, the requirements for blood lipids are more stringent. For high-risk groups, low-density lipoprotein must be controlled below 2.6mmol/L.

In addition to paying attention to blood lipids, there are many other suggestions in life for preventing myocardial infarction and protecting the heart.

In terms of diet, it is enough to control the daily cholesterol intake to around 200 mg. Patients with hypercholesterolemia should strictly control the intake of saturated fat and cholesterol.

Sleep is also very important. After 9 o'clock in the evening, try to avoid using electronic devices and go to bed early. A good night's sleep is good for cardiovascular health.

Don't be too anxious when getting up in the morning. Lie in bed for half a minute, then sit up for half a minute, and finally get out of bed and walk slowly for half a minute to give your body time to adapt.

Drinking a glass of water after getting up in the morning can not only quench your thirst, but also dilute the blood and prevent it from becoming too viscous.

In addition, you must control high blood lipids, high blood pressure, and high blood sugar, and have regular physical examinations to "drive away" these health risks.
