The "Three Highs" Disease and the Diseases They Can Trigger
The "three highs" are the most common diseases that middle-aged people are susceptible to, which are high blood pressure, high blood lipids, and high blood sugar. So, what diseases are most likely to be triggered by the "three highs"?
[Which Diseases Can the "Three Highs" Most Likely Trigger?]
The "three highs" are risk factors for arteriosclerosis.
Long-term high blood pressure can lead to arterial hardening, high blood lipids can cause the formation of arterial plaques, and high blood sugar can damage blood vessels throughout the body, whether they are large arteries or microvessels.
The risk of coronary heart disease is increased in people with the "three highs", but having the "three highs" does not necessarily mean that one will develop coronary heart disease. It simply means that the risk of developing coronary heart disease is higher compared to the general population.
In fact, the fundamental cause of coronary heart disease is not clear at present. We only know that there are many risk factors, including smoking, obesity, family history of coronary heart disease, age, and so on.
[Precautions for "Three Highs" Patients When Drinking Soup]
Patients with high blood pressure, high blood lipids, and obesity are advised not to drink soup when dining out.
In addition to adding salt, restaurants also add an equal amount of chicken essence and monosodium glutamate to the soup. The sodium content of chicken essence is approximately half that of regular salt, while the sodium content of monosodium glutamate is about one-sixth of that of salt.
Therefore, those exceptionally delicious soups have a very high sodium content, which is detrimental to health.
To summarize, when drinking soup and eating meat, do not simmer for too long. Remove the floating oil from the soup. One bowl is enough! Only by knowing how to cook soup and drink soup can the nourishing effect be achieved.
[Exercise for "Three Highs" Patients]
Before choosing a exercise for the "three highs" group, it is best to undergo a comprehensive physical examination at the hospital to determine the status of cardiovascular and pulmonary functions and see if there are any conditions that are not suitable for exercise.
Generally speaking, when participating in fitness activities, this group should follow the requirements of "low demand, low level, low intensity" and choose aerobic exercises such as jogging, brisk walking, Tai Chi, and aerobic exercises.
In addition, it is best to train 3 to 5 times a week, at least 30 minutes each time, in order to better control the progression of the disease and promote physical recovery.
