If you add up the length of all the capillaries in the body of an adult, you get a figure of 100 thousand kilometers! This thread can be wrapped twice around our planet along the equator. How to keep such a large system healthy? How can you help your heart withstand daily stress so that it can work all your life “without failure”? There are several recommendations for completing this task.

Cardio loads

The most beneficial exercise for your heart is vigorous walking. It rejuvenates blood vessels, accelerates blood circulation, and helps the heart muscle work fully. Most centenarians walk daily, and many cover impressive distances.

Unlike running, walking does not put shock on your joints and does not dramatically increase your heart rate. And by combining active walking with a walk in the fresh air, you thereby receive double benefits: the functioning of the respiratory system and the condition of the skin improves.

So, 10 thousand steps is the minimum with which you can compensate for a sedentary lifestyle in the modern world. Anyone who wants to improve their health and achieve active longevity can safely double this figure.

Nutrition for the Heart

In addition to factors beyond human control (ecology, hereditary and genetic predisposition), nutrition has a significant influence on heart function, which has been confirmed by research.

Recommendations for water consumption are as follows: 1.5 - 2 liters per day. However, if there are signs of heart failure (edema), you should try to drink no more than 1-1.2 liters of liquid per day (including soups, jelly, etc.). You also can’t drink less, otherwise it will be difficult to remove nitrogenous metabolic products, and weakness and constipation may appear. It is necessary to limit salt intake to avoid swelling and increased blood pressure, the norm is no more than 5g per day. Also limit your sugar intake, give up fatty foods, exclude rich broths, fried and smoked meat, and spicy foods. Periodically carry out fasting days (for example, consume 300 g of cottage cheese, 500 g of apples, 400 ml of kefir, 200 g of boiled potatoes throughout the day in 5 doses).

What is good for the heart? First of all, foods rich in potassium and magnesium, omega acids and antioxidants:

• Fish . At least twice a week, you should include fatty fish in your diet - salmon, mackerel, sardine, rich in polyunsaturated omega fatty acids. the most valuable foods for the heart.
• Vegetable oils. Contains vitamin E and antioxidants. Pork lard fats are useful in that they strengthen the functioning of the heart without contributing to the development of atherosclerosis (fatty pork meat, on the contrary, is harmful to the heart).
• Carrot. Rich source of vitamins (A, E, K), folic acid and potassium.
• Nuts (walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, pine, pistachios) . They help lower cholesterol levels (unless, of course, you eat them by the handful), contain monounsaturated fats and vitamin E. Reduce the risk of heart attack by 30-50%.
• Apples . It is generally difficult to overestimate their importance. Contains vitamins and antioxidants.

As a source of potassium and a significant amount of magnesium, they help reduce blood pressure and normalize the functioning of the nervous system, normalize the content of hemoglobin in the blood and the circulatory process. Also useful for the content of potassium, carotenes and vitamin A for the heart are lemon, persimmon, and pumpkin, which can strengthen and normalize the functioning of the heart muscle.
• Pomegranate is one of the most valuable fruits for strengthening and supporting the condition of the heart and blood vessels. Its consumption prevents the development of atherosclerosis, maintains blood flow levels and oxygen saturation of the heart.
• Flax-seed. Rich source of alpha-linoleic acid. Helps lower cholesterol levels.
• Garlic . It also lowers cholesterol and also thins the blood, lowering its viscosity.
• Legumes . Rich in protein, which is so necessary for the normal functioning of the heart muscle.

Symptoms of pancreatic diseases

In addition to acute and chronic forms of pancreatitis, there is pancreatic cancer, which is one of the most aggressive types of oncology. Each disease has characteristic symptoms, the appearance of which should be a direct signal for a comprehensive examination and consultation with a gastroenterologist, endocrinologist and oncologist. In the acute course of pancreatitis, a person is faced with a set of clinical symptoms:

1. Severe pain in the left hypochondrium, which can radiate to the side, left side of the back, shoulder, have a girdling nature, or be localized in the left side of the chest.
2. Nausea and vomiting that does not bring relief.
3. Paleness of the skin.
4. Dry mouth.
5. Cardiopalmus.

An attack of acute pancreatitis is potentially life-threatening, so if characteristic symptoms appear, it is necessary to call an ambulance. The chronic form of inflammatory damage to the pancreas is characterized by a set of clinical signs:

1. Stool disorders in the form of diarrhea that occurs after eating.
2. Not pronounced, but periodically occurring pain in the left hypochondrium.
3. Nausea and discomfort in the epigastric region after eating spicy or fatty foods, as well as alcohol.
4. The feces acquire a heterogeneous consistency, and particles of undigested food may be visible.
5. Loss of body weight, partial loss of appetite.

The danger of chronic pancreatitis lies not only in the fact that this process disrupts the entire process of digestion, but also in the fact that a chronic inflammatory process can develop into an acute one at any time. Pancreatic cancer is accompanied by a set of general and type-specific symptoms. Warning signs indicating the development of pancreatic cancer include:

1. Pain in the middle part of the abdomen.
2. Complete or partial loss of appetite.
3. Skin itching.
4. Yellowing of the skin.
5. Increased gas formation in the intestines, chronic constipation, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.
6. Sudden causeless loss of body weight.
7. Increased blood glucose levels.

The described clinical picture can be supplemented by general weakness, malaise, and when performing an ultrasound examination of the abdominal organs, an increase in the size of the liver and gall bladder is observed.

Symptoms of pancreatitis and acute gastritis may be similar. Unlike pancreatitis, with acute gastritis, vomiting brings relief, and abdominal pain is localized in one area and is not girdling. If we talk about how to distinguish gastritis from pancreatitis in the absence of specific symptoms, then only a comprehensive examination and consultation with a gastroenterologist will help in this matter.
