Blood, flowing through the blood vessels, carries nutrients and excretes waste.

However, once the blood becomes sticky, resulting in slower blood flow, it can be hazardous to health.

Once blood viscosity rises, it is prone to forming blood clots, which can lead to myocardial infarction, stroke, etc., and take lives.

During the hot summer months, high temperatures, sweating, and loss of body fluids can lead to thickened blood.

In addition, many people like to stay in air-conditioned rooms, or even a day sitting, lack of exercise, blood is also prone to sticky.

Therefore, in the hot summer, it is more important to be alert to the blood becoming sticky to reduce the formation of blood clots and help health.

The body has 5 performances, blood has been "sticky" if one does not, congratulations, blood vessels are still smooth

Performance 1: morning dizziness, confused thinking

After a night's rest, early in the morning after waking up, people should be clear-headed, bright, and lively.

If at this time, always feel sleepy, dizzy, confused thinking, need to eat breakfast, to slowly wake up, and even in the evening abnormal spirit, need to be alert to the blood sticky.

Performance 2: easily sleepy

In the case of sufficient sleep, if you are often sleepy and want to sleep, you should be alert to the thickening of the blood.

This is because, when the blood is sticky, it will lead to slow blood flow in the body, affecting the oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells, and easily lead to brain ischemia and hypoxia, which leads to easy sleepiness.

Performance 3: Purple lips and mouth, short of breath at work

If all of a sudden, for no reason, you find yourself with purple lips, you also need to be alert to the thickening of the blood.

This is because, when the blood viscosity increases, it will be accompanied by an increase in red blood cells, and then the lips will appear blue, that is, blue-purple, and, accompanied by a little physical work, easy to gasp for breath.

Pictures

The elderly are prone to this, and often have blurred vision, which is called "paroxysmal blurred vision".

This is mainly due to high blood viscosity, poor blood flow, and the inability to supply nutrients and oxygen to the optic nerve promptly, resulting in temporary ischemia and hypoxia of the optic nerve and retina.

Performance 5: Shortness of breath and chest tightness

When the human blood viscosity increases, it will cause the blood supply to the heart and various organs to become sluggish, leading to the blockage of blood vessels, atherosclerosis, "three highs" and other problems, will feel short of breath and chest tightness, often feel palpitations, and poor breathing.

What to eat to help improve blood stickiness?

1, onion

Onions are very common and contain diallyl disulfide compounds, which can reduce blood lipids and blood viscosity.

Quercetin contained in onions, can inhibit platelet coagulation, against thrombosis, eat more onions, for the prevention of blood sticky, very beneficial.

2、Garlic

Garlic, with the same anticoagulant effect as aspirin, can inhibit thromboxane, and platelet adhesion and improve the activity of the fibrinolytic system. Eating several cloves of garlic daily, whether raw or cooked, is effective.

3、Eggplant

Eggplant skin is rich in vitamin P, which can increase the elasticity of capillaries, improve microcirculation, invigorate blood and open the veins.

In addition, eggplant also contains a large number of saponin, can also reduce blood cholesterol.

4、Soybean products

Soybeans, and soy products, contain soy lecithin, which can promote blood circulation in the body, improve the state of blood lipids, reduce the time that garbage remains on the walls of blood vessels, and prevent the formation of plaque.

5, coarse grains

Coarse grains, rich in dietary fiber, can cholesterol out of the body, reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood, to prevent blood sticky. Sweet potatoes, yams, taro, etc., are good choices.

6, tomatoes

Lycopene in tomatoes can inhibit the cellular synthesis of cholesterol, reduce the concentration of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, and help prevent blood thickening.

7, green pepper

Green pepper, rich in nutrients, contains vitamin C, and flavonoids, and can soften blood vessels and enhance blood vessel elasticity.

In addition, it is also rich in chlorophyll, which can actively discharge cholesterol out of the body, purify the blood and prevent the improvement of blood stickiness.

Prevention and improvement of blood thickening, but also do these points.

1, drink three glasses of water

Water is the best blood thinner.

Develop the habit of actively drinking water to help improve blood stickiness.

And want to better prevent blood stickiness, prevent blood clots, drink three glasses of water every day.

A glass of warm water after waking up in the morning

After a night of sleep and rest, the body is in a dehydrated state after waking up in the morning, and the blood is more likely to be sticky.

At this time, drink a glass of warm boiled water to replenish water and dilute the blood, about 35-40℃, 200ml.

Between meals, a cup of tea substitute

Between meals, brew a cup of tea substitute, fat elimination and detoxification, anti-thrombotic, a great benefit.

Pugu Ding Bitter Tea, brewed as a tea substitute, reduces fat and detoxification, improves blood thickening, and prevents thrombosis.

Just combine Pogostemon, lotus leaf and small leaf bitter, together, and brew water to drink.

Lotus leaf, which can be found everywhere, has high medicinal value. It contains more flavonoids and alkaloids, which can lower total cholesterol and raw triglycerides, improve blood thickening and sticky status, and reduce the formation of blood clots.

Small-leaf bitter cloves in water are effective in reducing total cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein, which help reduce atherosclerosis and prevent blood clots.

Paguaguagu, commonly known as Brahmi, is used for both medicinal and food purposes, and its infusion can lower serum triacylglycerol and raise high-density lipoprotein, which helps improve blood lipids and expel toxins.

These three together, brewing water for tea, detoxification, lipid, improve blood viscosity, thrombosis, protection of cardiovascular health, a great benefit.

Before going to bed at night, a cup of warm boiled water

At night, when the body sleeps, blood flow will slow down, and blood viscosity, there will be high and low.

Before going to bed, a glass of warm boiled water, no more than 200ml that is, to reduce the night blood viscosity.

2, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables

Diet, and blood stickiness, has a close relationship.

Eating more fresh vegetables, for blood vessel health, is very beneficial.

Vegetables contain vitamin C, anthocyanins, dietary fiber, etc., are conducive to antioxidants, discharge intestinal waste, maintain the elasticity of blood vessels, reduce the content of cholesterol in the blood, help improve blood viscosity.

3, quit smoking and avoid alcohol

Smoking will damage the endothelium of blood vessels, accelerate atherosclerosis, and also increase the viscosity of blood, inducing thrombosis.

Drinking too much alcohol, blood red blood cells, can be damaged, which will affect the adhesion of red blood cells, but also lead to an increase in blood viscosity, which is one of the factors that induce thrombosis.

Therefore, to improve blood stickiness, it is necessary to quit smoking and avoid alcohol.

4、Don't sit down, walk around

Sitting for a long time, the body's metabolism will be reduced, and blood flow slows down, easily leading to blood stickiness.

In addition, sedentary, or the biggest "helper" of blood clots, to reduce sedentarily, every 45-60 minutes to sit down, get up and move for 3-5 minutes.

5、There is nothing to do tiptoe

Tiptoeing will increase the amount and speed of blood flow in the lower extremities, but also stimulate the blood vessels, to help vascular health.

Stand well in a pair of smooth flat shoes, lift your heels, support your body with your toes, drop your heels after about 2 seconds, stand firmly and continue to lift your heels, support your body with your toes, and repeat.
