Workers working in calcium carbide factories should pay attention to what they eat or drink which is good for their health.

Tangible components are the material basis of blood viscosity. The tangible components that can thicken blood include red blood cells and proteins in blood. The greater the number of red blood cells, the higher the blood viscosity; the more protein, fat, and sugar in the plasma, the thicker the blood; the influence of the fibrinogen content in the blood on the blood viscosity cannot be ignored. When fibrinogen increases, Blood viscosity will increase significantly. Increased protein components such as globulin and fibrinogen in the blood form a network together with red blood cells, resulting in increased resistance to blood flow; structural changes in red blood cells and platelets cause them to clot with each other, blocking blood vessels; red blood cells and other blood cells Its deformation ability is weakened and it cannot pass through small blood vessels smoothly, thereby increasing the viscosity of the blood.

There are also non-blood factors that thicken the blood. Under the same conditions, some environmental factors also affect blood viscosity. For example, blood viscosity increases in summer and is low in winter; it is high in the early morning and morning, and low in the evening and afternoon; it is high when it is rainy, muggy, and low pressure, and low when it is windy and sunny; It is high after a rich meal and low after a light meal; it is high after diarrhea and sweating and low after drinking enough water. Among the above factors, some are related to water balance, some are related to the increase in formed components of blood, and some are related to the body's biological clock. Understanding these rules will help prevent blood viscosity and prevent related diseases.

How do you know if your blood is thickening? Although blood thickening does not cause obvious symptoms like anemia or blood loss, you can still feel some "clues", but you have to be more careful-- < /p>

I feel dizzy in the morning, not awake, and have slow thinking. It usually takes until after breakfast that my mind gradually becomes clear. I feel sleepy after lunch and need to take a nap, otherwise I will be listless all afternoon. On the contrary, I am in a particularly good state of mind after dinner.

Out of breath while working while squatting. When squatting, the blood returning to the heart and brain decreases, causing ischemia of the lungs, brain and other organs, causing difficulty in breathing, so asthma occurs.

Paroxysmal blurred vision. The blood thickens, the flow rate slows down, and the blood cannot fully nourish the optic nerve, or the optic nerve or retina is temporarily ischemic and hypoxic, causing blurred vision.

If middle-aged and elderly people have the above symptoms, they should suspect blood thickening, and it is best to go to the hospital for hemorrheology examination to make a clear diagnosis.

Does thick blood need treatment? According to pathologists’ research on the formation and changing patterns of blood viscosity, it is found that blood thickness is affected by many factors, such as eating, drinking, exercise, and body metabolism. Conditions and external environment, different seasons, time and climate, etc. Therefore, a person's blood thickness is not static, but is always in a dynamic state of high and low. For healthy people, you can rest assured, because the human body has a strong ability to regulate itself to maintain the balance and relative stability of the blood environment, so that you will not develop morbid symptoms, so special treatment is generally not required.

However, it should be noted that middle-aged and elderly people have obvious symptoms of blood thickening, especially those who already suffer from hypertension, arteriosclerosis, and diabetes, and must be given timely drug intervention, such as Western medicine alginate diester. Sodium, enteric-coated aspirin, tea pigment, dipyridamole, traditional Chinese medicines such as Salvia miltiorrhiza, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Angelica sinensis, safflower, etc. Of course, these drugs must be used under the guidance of a specialist to avoid errors.

The simpler way to prevent or eliminate blood thickening is to adjust your lifestyle. Adjusting your lifestyle can be summarized as follows:

Drink more water. Water can be called a quick-acting diluent. Water loss after a good night's sleep and water consumed when digesting food are all factors that make human blood thicker. Drinking water can instantly thin your blood. But drinking water should be scientific. First, we must grasp the timing, such as drinking 200 ml of water when getting up in the morning, one hour before meals, and before going to bed in the evening. The second is to choose water with good dilution effect: salt water can promote cell dehydration, which is not enough; cold water stimulates gastrointestinal vasoconstriction, hindering the absorption of water into the blood, and is not suitable for drinking; pure water is too pure, and its hypotonic state will cause water to enter quickly Within cells, the effect of diluting blood is not ideal either. The ideal dilution water is boiled water or light tea at 20℃~25℃. Its tension and density are close to those of blood and tissue cells, so it is worth promoting.

Eat more foods with blood-thinning functions, such as black fungus, onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, strawberries, pineapples, lemons and other fruits that can inhibit platelet aggregation and prevent thrombosis; foods with anticoagulant effects similar to aspirin Foods include tomatoes, red grapes, oranges, and ginger; foods with lipid-lowering effects include parsley, carrots, konjac, hawthorn, seaweed, kelp, corn, sesame, etc. In addition to containing a lot of water, vegetables and fruits are also rich in vitamin C and crude fiber. Vitamin C can lower blood lipids, and crude fiber can prevent the absorption of cholesterol in the intestines and help reduce blood thickness. Eat more soybeans. Soybeans are rich in lecithin, which is an emulsifier that can make cholesterol particles in the blood smaller and keep them in a suspended state. It helps lipids penetrate the blood vessel walls and be utilized by tissues. It can reduce blood cholesterol and make it more effective. Blood consistency improved. Eat less animal offal, animal fat and sweets. Animal offal such as brains, pork belly, intestines and animal fat contain a lot of cholesterol and saturated fat, which can increase blood thickness and promote arteriosclerosis. Sweets contain a lot of sugar, which can increase triglycerides in human blood and increase blood viscosity. Therefore, the three meals should be lighter, mainly vegetarian, with a mix of coarse and fine grains.
