According to WHO data, in 2016, an estimated 17.9 million people died of cardiovascular disease, accounting for 31% of the total global deaths. Among them, 85% died of heart disease and stroke. Cardiovascular disease has always been the number one cause of death worldwide: more people die of cardiovascular disease each year than any other cause of death. For cardiovascular diseases, in addition to active treatment when symptoms appear, we also need to take care of the heart from food.

1: Omega 3 fatty acids Omega 3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids, which help prevent systemic inflammation and cardiovascular disease, and protect the heart. A Harvard University study found that taking about 2 grams of omega 3 fatty acids by eating fish once or twice a week can reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death by 36% and reduce the possibility of death by 17%.

2: Magnesium Magnesium helps reduce nerve and muscle excitability, maintains heart elasticity, and prevents stroke and heart attack. Insufficient magnesium intake may cause blood pressure to rise. Studies have shown that adequate supply of magnesium in the diet is beneficial for preventing high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes. Women are often more prone to magnesium deficiency than men, and stress will also consume the body’s reserves of magnesium, so you need to pay attention to supplementing them in your diet.

3: Vitamin D In addition to the benefits of vitamin D for bone health, the benefits for heart health should not be underestimated. Studies have shown that if the human body lacks vitamin D, the risk of heart disease will increase by 40%, and the chance of dying from heart disease will be higher than 81%. The source of vitamin D in food is not rich, only a few sources such as fish (especially fish liver), mushrooms, animal organs, whole milk, eggs, etc.

No. 4 patron saint: zinc Zinc can help the body produce anti-inflammatory cytokines. Like omega-3 fatty acids, it helps prevent inflammation in the body. At the same time, zinc has also been proven to have a protective effect on arteries, help prevent coronary artery disease and improve heart function.

5: Vitamin C Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant. Studies have found that it can help reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels while increasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. Those with high dietary vitamin C intake, heart attacks and strokes The risk will be smaller. The main sources of vitamin C are fresh fruits and vegetables, of which citrus fruits and tomatoes are the best sources of vitamin C

6: Vitamin E Vitamin E is also a strong antioxidant. Like vitamin C, it can also regulate cholesterol levels in the body, inhibit platelet aggregation, and reduce the risk of myocardial infarction and stroke. Various nuts and seeds are rich in vitamin E, and avocado in fruit is also rich in vitamin E, so you can eat it often.

7: Allicin Allicin helps relax blood vessels and improve blood flow, thus having a positive effect on blood pressure and heart health. It should be noted that garlic contains effective substances such as alliin and allinase. After being crushed, they will come into contact with each other to form allicin, which has health effects. Therefore, it is best to mash the garlic into a puree, and place it for 10-15 minutes before eating. The absorption effect of allicin is better, but the allicin obtained by cooking is very little.

8: Lycopene Lycopene is a carotenoid that has a strong antioxidant effect and has been proven to help prevent cancer and heart disease. Studies have shown that the higher the lycopene content in human adipose tissue, the lower the risk of myocardial infarction. Lycopene can also increase arterial elasticity, improve the function of vascular endothelial tissue, and prevent arteriosclerosis

In terms of food, we can take care of the cardiovascular system. But how can we detect and prevent cardiovascular diseases in time? Only since Apple released the first smart watch, the smart hand has developed to the present, and it has increasingly focused on health monitoring functions. The current development trend in the industry is to digitize the human body. Especially health data. The smart watch can present the monitored data to the doctor, giving the doctor a reference role.

Veepoo’s latest Veepoo Watch RIG has launched an emergency function for ECG monitoring. What is the ECG monitoring emergency function is that the ECG monitoring function is always running after the wearer puts on the Veepoo Watch RIG. At the same time, when there is any abnormality, Veepoo Watch RIG will promptly remind, including 13 kinds of heart diseases. The ECG monitoring emergency function of Veepoo Watch RIG can effectively help the wearer avoid sudden heart disease. At present, the emergency function of ECG monitoring is Veepoo’s first creation in smart watches. This function will help Veepoo to further develop the market and provide users with better services.
