Negative emotions are like a time bomb that can destroy your body at any time!

When we are struggling every day about how to be the most healthy

But I forget that no matter how well I eat or how well I take care of myself,

Maybe it can't withstand the damage caused by emotions

Angry, sad, depressed...

Negative emotions are like a time bomb

Your body may be destroyed at any time!

“1 Bad” – Bad mood, often angry

"1 bad" means being in a bad mood and often angry.

In July 2021, a study published in the European Heart Journal confirmed that anger is indeed an important cause of myocardial infarction and coronary heart disease! Researchers found that anger, rage, frustration, etc. (under acute mental stress) can cause inflammatory white blood cells in the blood to migrate to the aorta through stress hormones, causing atherosclerotic plaques in the arteries to rupture.

Emotional fluctuations can also affect stomach health, and the gastrointestinal tract is the organ most easily affected by emotions.

Influence of depressive emotions: For example, when you are anxious, depressed or fearful, gastrointestinal motility will decrease, causing symptoms of indigestion such as loss of appetite, fullness in the stomach or belching.

Influence of hyperactive emotions: For example, when you are angry or even disgusted, you will experience a hyperactive gastrointestinal motility state. Gastric acid secretion increases, gastrointestinal motility increases, and even gastroesophageal reflux and gastritis may occur. In the long term, gastric ulcers and gastric spasms may occur. These are the reasons why we have stomach pain when we are angry. Some studies have even found that the occurrence of gastric cancer is also related to negative emotions.

"2 thick" - thick waist and thick neck

1. Thick waist

As the saying goes: the longer the waist circumference, the shorter the life span. Waist circumference is an important indicator to measure a person's health level, because the thickness of the waist circumference is directly related to the content of visceral fat.

Excess visceral fat increases the risk of several diseases, including high blood pressure, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and osteoarthritis.

At the same time, the waist and abdomen are the concentration of important organs such as the liver, pancreas, gastrointestinal tract, etc. When there is too much fat in the waist and abdomen, a large amount of visceral fat will enter the digestive system, thereby damaging the liver and gradually evolving into fatty liver. In addition, too much abdominal fat will cause the intestines to move slower, and the contact time between carcinogens and the intestinal wall will be prolonged, which can easily increase the risk of colorectal cancer.

2. Thick neck

A thick neck can reflect an increase in the deposition of subcutaneous fat in the neck or around the respiratory tract, and is a manifestation of abnormal subcutaneous fat accumulation. Several studies have found that people with thick necks are more likely to have abnormal blood lipids and are more likely to suffer from a variety of diseases such as heart disease and cerebral hemorrhage.

"3 Fasts" - Many people ignore the "3 Fasts"

1. Fast heartbeat

The speed of the heartbeat is closely related to life expectancy. Because the heart beats slowly, the heart consumes less oxygen and can get enough rest after each heartbeat, so the heart is not easily fatigued. If the heart beats quickly, it will not get enough rest after each heartbeat, and the heart will easily fatigue.

In medicine, the normal range of heart rate is generally 60 to 100 beats per minute. If it is less than 60 beats per minute, it is a slow heart rate, and if it is more than 100 beats per minute, it is tachycardia. But the frequency is also relative.

Note: If the heart rate is less than 50 beats/minute, the cardiac output cannot reach the normal activity standards of important organs. Some people may experience dizziness, fatigue, or even fainting. This is pathological.

2. Eat fast

When people eat, the working state of the heart will change, such as the heart rate will increase by 8% to 10%, the amount of blood ejected by the heart will increase, and the diastolic blood pressure (low pressure) will decrease, which will last about 30 minutes to 120 minutes.

People with underlying heart disease (such as coronary heart disease) may experience feelings of palpitations, discomfort, and even symptoms such as angina pectoris.

3. Drink water quickly

When people feel thirsty, they are actually already dehydrated. Long-term dehydration will increase blood viscosity and induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. At the same time, the less you pay attention to drinking water, the lower your desire to drink water will be.

At this time, if you drink a lot of water all at once, the burden on the digestive and circulatory systems will suddenly increase, and the body will not have time to adapt. It can easily lead to high blood pressure and insufficient blood supply to important organs such as the brain. In severe cases, it may induce adverse consequences such as heart failure and stroke.

If you drink too much water too quickly, such as drinking 2L of water per hour for more than 2 hours, the circulating blood volume will increase dramatically, but urine excretion will not increase quickly enough, resulting in a blood sodium ion concentration lower than 135mmol/L, and cellular edema and other phenomena will occur.

Recommendation: No matter you are thirsty or not, you should drink water in time. Don't drink too much at once when you are thirsty. It is best not to drink more than 200 ml at a time. 100 to 150 ml each time, with half an hour interval.

"Four Highs" - "Four Highs" that are not well controlled

1. Poorly controlled high blood pressure

Uncontrolled high blood pressure can easily lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases!

The "Guidelines for Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease in China" point out that hypertension is the primary and modifiable risk factor for increased cardiovascular disease incidence and mortality among residents in my country. About 50% of cardiovascular disease incidence and 20% of cardiovascular disease deaths are attributed to hypertension.

At the same time, the "Guidelines for the Education of Hypertension Patients in China" points out that hypertension is the most important risk factor for stroke, and 70% of stroke patients in my country have hypertension.

2. Poorly controlled hyperlipidemia

Cholesterol and triglycerides are closely related to blood lipids in clinical practice. Hypercholesterolemia is an important prerequisite for the formation of atherosclerotic plaques, and atherosclerotic plaques are the main basis for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

3. Poorly controlled high blood sugar

High blood sugar can increase the incidence of ischemic stroke (cerebral infarction) and is an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke. Long-term high blood sugar can damage blood vessels and nerves, and also harm the heart, brain, kidneys, fundus, etc. In addition to retinopathy, diabetic foot, diabetic nephropathy and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications, there are actually many unexpected complications.

4. Poorly controlled "high uric acid"

The higher the uric acid level, the higher the risk of gout, but gout attacks are only one of its clinical manifestations. The harm of hyperuricemia goes far beyond that.

Hyperuricemia can cause damage to the vascular endothelium, aggravate insulin resistance, and increase the risk of diseases such as diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

Gout is not only painful but can also cause tophi, joint damage, and more seriously, kidney damage. Data shows that one-third of people with long-term gout have kidney damage, manifested as chronic gouty nephropathy, uric acid kidney stones, and acute obstructive nephropathy.
