Less eating and more sleeping benefit health. During holidays, people often find themselves busy with visiting relatives and friends, welcoming guests, and participating in entertainment activities. If they neglect rest and overwork themselves, it can easily lead to disorders of the autonomic nervous system. In addition, the excitement and joy of family gatherings can often trigger heart attacks, strokes, and hypertension. Therefore, those with cardiovascular diseases should not push themselves to endure excessive fatigue beyond their capabilities. When necessary, they should "take a step back" and participate in activities that they are interested in and do not harm their health.
Eat Less
During holidays, there are many delicious dishes on the table. One should not indulge in overeating and consume too much high-fat food. Scientific research has shown that after overeating, the digestive organs are burdened, and blood is concentrated in the stomach, intestines, and other vital organs, resulting in ischemia. This can easily trigger angina. In particular, excessive intake of high-fat foods can increase blood lipids, causing increased blood viscosity and slow blood flow, which can lead to myocardial infarction. Overeating during holidays is also an important factor in the occurrence or aggravation of hypertension and biliary diseases.
Sleep More
Scientists abroad have confirmed that lack of sleep or sleep disorders can lead to an increase in cholesterol levels in the blood, increasing the likelihood of heart attacks. During holidays, there are plenty of entertainment activities and frequent socializing. One should not indulge in excessive joy at night and affect sleep. Before going to bed, one should try to maintain a calm state of mind, avoid prolonged conversations with others, watch fewer tense and stimulating TV programs, stay away from noisy places, and avoid staying up all night playing cards for fun. It is beneficial for heart disease patients to go to bed on time at night, and if possible, take a 30-minute nap during the day.
Avoid Smoking, Alcohol, and Tea
During holidays, one should not indulge in smoking and drinking for social purposes. Smoking and drinking should not be done simultaneously, as the large amount of harmful substances in cigarettes and alcohol can cause blood vessel spasms and accidents. This is especially important for patients with hypertension and coronary heart disease. It is better to drink light tea and avoid strong tea because strong tea contains more caffeine, which may cause excessive stimulation of the central nervous system, leading to vasoconstriction and the onset of heart disease. It is advisable to eat more fruits and vegetables to maintain regular bowel movements and prevent cardiovascular diseases.
