How to protect blood vessels by drinking coffee

Health comes from the details of life. The Red Book magazine and Family Doctor magazine in the United States recently published practical health advice from a number of famous doctors in the United States, Britain and Australia. If you haven't done it yet, please change it from today.

Advice 1. Antibacterial soap says "no". Hand washing is the key to prevent infectious diseases. Many people think that antibacterial soap is more effective against germs than ordinary soap. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. Because antibacterial soap contains trichlorophenoxy chlorophenol, a chemical that causes drug resistance, hand washing with common soap can also kill 99.9% of germs. At present, ordinary soap is still the most ideal hand washing product. If you use hand sanitizer, make sure that the content of ethanol or isopropanol is not less than 60%. Make sure you sing birthday songs twice every time you wash your hands.

Advice 2. Brush your teeth and remember "343". The "343 tooth brushing mode" of brushing teeth for 3 minutes, 4 minutes and 3 minutes in the morning, middle and evening is more scientific, because the bacterial reproduction rate in the mouth during sleep is only 60% of that during the day. Brushing your teeth is best half an hour after a meal, otherwise it is easy to damage the enamel. In addition, potato chips hurt your teeth more than sweets, so rinse your mouth immediately after eating. It is also important to see the dentist every six months. Women had better not go to the dentist during their menstruation.

Dr. Constantine Tritchas, a cosmetic dentist in New York City, USA.

Advice 3. It's not good for the face wash to be too cold and too hot. The temperature of the face washing water should be moderate, not too cold in summer and not too hot in winter. Too low temperature of face washing water will cause facial pores to close, unable to wash dirt such as sebum, dust and residue, and easily cause acne and other skin diseases. Face wash is too hot, it is easy to make the skin expand rapidly, leading to premature aging and wrinkles.

Advice 4. Don't rush to eat fruit after dinner. People with indigestion eat an apple and other peeled fruit after a meal is good for digestion, because apples and other peels are rich in acid. However, people who eat fruit immediately after a meal may cause stomach discomfort because it takes two hours or more to digest the food. If you eat fruit immediately after a meal (especially hard fruits such as apples and pears), it will not only increase the gastrointestinal burden, but also lead to flatulence. Therefore, it is more scientific to eat fruit 1-2 hours after a meal.

Dr. Amy Soloman, expert in Gastroenterology, Phoenix, Arizona, USA

Advice 5. Throw away the mildew of whole grains immediately. Not all molds cause cancer, but healthy whole grains such as corn, brown rice and soybeans produce toxic carcinogens when they become moldy. The toxin can be transmitted through the air and can be easily inhaled into the body, damaging the respiratory tract and digestive tract and causing cancer. Therefore, after mildew, get rid of the whole grain and don't eat it at all.

Advice 6. There should also be an upper limit for drinking water. Drinking plenty of water is good for kidney detoxification and prevents kidney stones. The appeal of "drink eight glasses of water a day" also shows the importance of drinking water. However, the study found that adult kidneys can only drain 800 to 1000 milliliters per hour. Once you drink more than 1000 milliliters of water within an hour, it is easy to cause hyponatremia and damage the kidneys. Therefore, it is recommended that you drink no more than 100ml of alcohol each time and no more than 1000 ml of water per hour.

Dr. Timothy Mathew, a kidney physician from the Australian Kidney Health Organization.

Advice 7. Don't drink coffee when you are extremely tired. When tired, some people like to drink coffee or strong tea to refresh their minds. In fact, when the body feels extremely tired, drinking coffee or strong tea is easy to hurt the cardiovascular system, panic is one of the typical symptoms. In addition, smoking will double the harm to the body when you are tired.

-- Dr. Susan Brozner, a cardiovascular specialist in Philadelphia, USA

Advice 8. Taking medicine should not be synchronized with three meals. If you need to take medicine three times a day, the practice of "taking medicine three times a day with three meals" is often wrong, and a more scientific approach is to take it 24 hours a day divided by 3, once every eight hours. It is best to use warm boiled water, fruit juice, tea or hot water is easy to affect the efficacy. Alcohol should also be banned during medication, because alcohol can magnify the side effects of many drugs several times, and alcohol may also react with ingredients in some drugs to produce toxic substances.

Dr. Scott Chislak, Pharmacy specialist, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, USA

Advice 9. Decompression Society "478". Deep breathing can relieve stress, but many people know very little about the techniques of deep breathing. "4mur7Mei8 skills" is a very effective way to reduce stress. Specific action: in the whole process of deep breathing, the tip of the tongue is always against the back of the teeth. Exhale through your mouth, then shut up, inhale through your nostrils for 4 seconds, then hold your breath for 7 seconds, and then exhale slowly for 8 seconds. Repeat a few more times to effectively relieve stress.

Dr. Andrew Weill, psychiatrist, director of the Institute of Integrated Medicine, University of Arizona School of Medicine, USA

Advice 10. After the age of 50, thyroid gland is checked every year. Thyroxine is not part of a routine physical examination, but from the age of 50, women should increase their thyroid hormone levels during routine check-ups. Thyroid hormone disorders can easily lead to fatigue, hunger, depression, anxiety, sleep difficulties, elevated blood pressure, dry skin, hair loss and weight gain.
