Pay attention to the health of your blood vessels

The health of veins, arteries and capillaries is often underestimated. However, it is the blood vessels that supply the organs with vital substances.

If the blood vessels are not in good condition, the supply of the liver, kidneys, gallbladder, stomach and all other organs is also at risk. This is because the tight network of the blood system is responsible for the optimal flow of supply traffic in our body. If irregularities occur here, arteriosclerosis is a Heart attack or Stroke In addition, long-term organic problems are likely, which can lead to serious Diseases In order to check the condition of the vessels, the vessels should be measured regularly using a color double ultrasound. In addition, the elasticity of the vessels can be determined using a pulse wave analysis.

Vascular walls are responsible for vascular health

The so-called endothelial cells are responsible for an intact vascular wall. They form a layer that runs through the entire labyrinth of blood vessels like a large organ. The endothelium is responsible for regulating blood pressure, for example by producing nitric oxide (NO), the exchange of substances between tissues and the vascular system, maintaining the flowability of the blood, and inhibiting or activating clotting processes. The endothelium has a different function depending on the vascular wall. For example, the cells in an artery that transports the enriched blood have to do more than those in a vein that returns the oxygen-poor blood to the heart. The endothelial layer also has an important function in the formation of new blood vessels and in combating inflammatory processes. The consequences of a damaged vascular wall are in many cases autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, caused by chronic inflammation. Premature calcification (arteriosclerosis) of the wall due to excessive cholesterol or a permanent high blood pressure the cause of a lack of supply to the organs with long-term complaints or serious illnesses such as Stroke (stroke), Heart attack or abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Healthy Living for Optimal Vessels

However, with a few simple rules you can do a lot to maintain an elastic and strong vascular wall. Stop smoking! Every cigarette causes a short-term increase in blood pressure. If this becomes a permanent condition, harmful deposits will form. The harmful deposits in a cigarette also increase the risk of damage to the endothelial layer. A healthy ideal weight should be maintained or achieved, ideally for life! More fiber and vitamins as well as sufficient exercise, instead of too much sugar and fat, are the best preventionThis prevents harmful belly fat from accumulating and reduces the risk of Diabetes drops. The blood vessels have a good chance of remaining intact. A little salt in food also helps, alternatively herbs can make the food just as tasty. Studies have shown that long-term high salt consumption can lead to increased blood pressure. Our nutritionists will be happy to inform you. Relax! Psychological well-being contributes greatly to maintaining health. Stress is one of the most common causes of high blood pressure. A study has shown that even in younger people, the function of the endothelium was limited for one to four hours after a stressful situation. Maintaining a relaxed lifestyle here ultimately has a positive effect on all organs. Use our health checkso that their blood vessels remain healthy.
