Although not as good as cancer, heart disease sounds terrible, but it accounted for all deaths worldwide in 1 / 3. In the United States, it is called a "Time of the plague," almost every day there are 2400 Americans die of cardiovascular disease; in China, die each year from stroke and myocardial infarction also have 2.6 million, equivalent to every 12 seconds, one person died of cardio-cerebral vascular diseases.
However, in Japan, the world's total mortality, the disease first appears not so serious. People talking about heart disease, in fact, mainly refers to coronary heart disease in medicine. World Health Organization (WHO) released data show that coronary heart disease mortality in Japan is only 0.041%, lowest in the world. Say that heart disease is the middle-aged disease, but in men aged 55-64, the Japanese Americans with coronary heart disease mortality rate is less than 1 / 10. Their trick is what this regard, we learn from this to the Japanese what?
After cooking, put the oil, tea and even the last to eat
A mention of heart disease, many people will think of eating oil and high cholesterol levels. Chinese people like to cook stir-fry oil Heat the pot after the Japanese eat the oil is very clever. Many Japanese families a guest reporter when they see that they put very little cooking oil, most of them raw, boiled or steamed, vegetables and cooked the post, came alive again in a little oil. Basically do not have animal oil, mainly used vegetable oil, including canola oil, olive oil, grape seed oil and so on. (On the next edition) where the first mention of these oil rich in unsaturated fatty acids can reduce platelet aggregation, reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease alone, such a cooking method, it is worth our study. Most Japanese people know, the vegetable oil over high heat, one of the unsaturated fatty acids will be destroyed and no longer has a role in protecting blood vessels. Therefore, eating the same vegetable oil, the Japanese can soften blood vessel, hardening of the Chinese people is in the blood vessels.
In addition to less oil, the Japanese rarely salt, the daily salt intake of less than half of the Chinese people. China Medical knowing Disease credits will be Vice Chairman of Cardiology, Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University, director of GE Jun-bo professor pointed out that it is very crucial, at present the relationship between salt and hypertension has been very clear, it will lead to cardiac hypertrophy and atherosclerosis . It not cook without salt, no flavor no-zi? The Japanese come up with ways to replace salt, such as fresh vegetables, or yogurt mixed with a little sauce on the direct consumption. Are many kinds of seasoning sauce, taste is also a wide range, but the salt concentrations are low, especially low-salt or no salt soy sauce, the cooking time usage is very high.
Many people know that the Japanese to protect the heart "magic weapon" There are two, one is the deep-sea fish, one is the beans, especially natto. The former contain omega -3 fatty acids benefit the heart, while the latter "the prevention of cardiovascular disease" effect has been the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval. In fact, the Japanese there are two "magic weapon", one tea at the end, the other is the sake. Japanese green tea is a favorite time to drink the tea as crushed, and then immerse themselves in water, along with tea drinking go together at the end, saying that white is "tea." "This unique tea habit, greater intake of tea polyphenols may be, while the tea polyphenols on blood vessels has a strong protective effect." Had just returned from Japan to study Department of Endocrinology, Beijing Union Medical College Hospital, deputy chief physician Dr. Zhu Huijuan Analysis . Sake is the majority of Japanese men at dinner time and indispensable. China Medical knowing Disease credits will be vice chairman of the Youth Committee, First Hospital of Peking University Professor Liu Meilin Elderly Medicine, pointed out that a small amount of alcohol on the cardiovascular protective effect of the medical profession have now been finalized. The Japanese drink sake, that is, low alcohol white wine, probably more than ten degrees to 30 degrees. For the Chinese people, as long as no more than 355 ml per day of beer, red wine, no more than 2 2, liquor does not exceed 1 2, the same can protect the cardiovascular.
In Europe and the United States developed countries, particularly large number of people who have heart disease, while in Asia, especially Japan, have less heart disease than people, this and genes, race has nothing to do with it? GE Jun-bo told "Life Times" reporter, there is an interesting phenomenon is that, not only indigenous people of Japan have less heart disease, the Japanese descendants living in the United States, heart disease rates than the United States a full lower half of the white gene in cardiovascular protection does have a role. Take the character, the Japanese, although the pressure, seriousness, love rush, but their mentality is good, self-cultivation is also very good and will not give vent to their feelings too much, in the psychological part of B-type personality. GE Jun-bo said that when the emotions broke out, the body will be a lot of hormone levels rise, leading to high blood pressure, cardiovascular harm, it's like a calm river suddenly flood is bound to break through the riverbed, causing flooding in the human body, it will injury of endothelial cells, induced atherosclerosis and unstable plaque rupture.
Love is also a clean one of the major features of the Japanese. Whether in big cities like Tokyo or in a rural town, Japan's streets are always clean, no hustle and bustle of the noisy voice. Cherry blossoms falling, the sky Koshiro's Huayu roadside sat quietly on a bench in the elderly and cats. This living environment, people peace of mind, away from the impetuous. "Has been clear evidence that noise pollution and environmental pollution will lead to high blood pressure, or even directly on the cardiovascular damage." Meilin Liu said. At home, the majority of the Japanese bubble a bath every day, holidays, went to a hot springs bath. Generally small houses in Japan, is only forty to fifty square meters per household, bath small like a barrel, it was only a man crouched inside. Even so, every night to fall, the whole family will first clean the body shower, and then turns into the bath, each Paoshang 20 minutes, not only can expand blood capillary, but also to release the pressure on a day to fully relax.
The final step is more exercise. With the Chinese people, as a result of busy, many Japanese have no fixed movement time, but they rarely drive, like the use of public transport to work. Because many of the passengers, most people are way stations, five days a week crowded subway back and forth two or three hours, want to gain weight is immune. Many Japanese will choose to bicycle as their daily transport, is also a relaxation exercise. "Possession of Silence, less angry, stride leg, is to reduce the heart's three secret." GE Jun-bo said, sustained, moderate exercise, such as more than 30 minutes of brisk walking a day on the heart benefits of very large, you can lose weight, lower blood pressure, regulate blood lipids.
