New idea! To prevent myocardial infarction, reduce visceral fat first

E-Da Rhinos head coach Xu Shengming passed away a few days ago after suffering a myocardial infarction and was rushed to the hospital, leaving the world with regret. To prevent myocardial infarction, in addition to controlling diet, following the principle of low salt, more fruits and vegetables, and less intake of fat and animal offal, it is more important to reduce the proportion of visceral fat in the body and prevent the risk of metabolic syndrome, so as to stay away from the threat of myocardial infarction.

What is the link between visceral fat and myocardial infarction? Mainly, the accumulation of visceral fat will allow excess triglycerides and low-density cholesterol (bad cholesterol) to penetrate into the inner walls of arteries, gradually oxidize and deteriorate, causing the blood vessel walls to thicken and lose elasticity, forming arteriosclerosis, and then develop into fatal diseases such as myocardial infarction and stroke.

Visceral fat obesity is more likely to induce myocardial infarction

People with visceral fat obesity have a diabetes incidence rate that is 7 to 9 times that of the general population, and a mortality rate of myocardial infarction and stroke that is as high as 3 times. Family medicine physician Nazud said that to reduce visceral fat, correct exercise is the only way; the key to exercise is not the intensity, but whether it can actually burn fat. There are currently fat-burning heart rate monitors that can check exercise status such as calories burned, and help individuals exercise in the most appropriate fat-burning zone. They can also be done in a simple walking manner without causing excessive fatigue, and can achieve the effect of exercising to burn visceral fat.

How to check visceral fat? Measuring waist circumference is the simplest detection indicator. Caring about yourself and your family means helping them measure their waist circumference. If it exceeds 80 cm for women and exceeds 90 cm for men, it is a warning sign and you must pay special attention.

4 daily health care measures to reduce visceral fat

1. Intake of dietary fiber: Dietary fiber helps smooth excretion and absorbs harmful substances and cholesterol. The key point is that if you don’t want to accumulate visceral fat, you can eat more dietary fiber, including oats, mung beans, tomatoes, grapefruit, etc.

2. Eat colorful vegetables: Eat five kinds of vegetables and fruits every day. It is best to heat them before eating. This can improve metabolism and burn visceral fat.

1. Muscle training: Muscle training can consume visceral fat, which can also increase the body's basal metabolic rate and make muscle cells active.

4. Aerobic exercise: According to a study published in the Journal of Preventive Medicine, maintaining 45 minutes of intensive cardiopulmonary aerobic exercise and weight training three times a week can eliminate 20% of visceral fat.

To prevent visceral fat obesity, first understand its properties

Once visceral fat begins to accumulate, it will cause the body to protrude from the lower abdomen and develop into metabolic diseases such as high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high blood lipids, and even fatal diseases such as myocardial infarction and cerebral stroke. Therefore, we should prevent "visceral fat obesity" in our daily lives and understand whether obesity is "visceral fat obesity" or "subcutaneous fat obesity". It is best to prevent it as early as possible.

Although visceral fat is dangerous fat, fortunately it is easy to get rid of. It can prevent the development of symptoms in the metabolic syndrome stage and avoid chronic diseases, arteriosclerosis, and even fatal diseases. Therefore, you should do the above daily health care actions to avoid the accumulation of visceral fat.
