Eat the "Golden Triangle" to stay away from cardiovascular diseases

Due to changes in people's lifestyles and eating habits, as well as a rapid increase in the number of obese people, cardiovascular diseases are increasing and becoming more common among younger people. In view of the lack of awareness of cardiovascular health among the Chinese people, nutritionists proposed a new trend of the "Golden Triangle" for cardiovascular health on the 24th, suggesting that people should consume soy protein, L-arginine, and Omega-3 deep-sea fish oil every day to enhance metabolic function and achieve an overall healthy health effect.

Xie Mingzhe, former vice president of Taipei Medical University and professor of the Department of Health and Nutrition, pointed out that consuming 25 grams of soy protein a day, combined with a low-saturated fat and low-cholesterol diet, can reduce the risk of heart disease, because soybeans contain isoflavones, which can lower the cholesterol content in the human body and thus prevent heart disease. Studies have found that eating soy foods can help reduce the risk of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.

In fact, high-quality soy protein is an excellent health supplement for people with poor digestive function, children and adolescents in their growth period, people with lactose intolerance, those who want to maintain their figure, those who want to build muscle, vegetarians, and even those who often stay up late.

In addition, clinical studies have also found that "L-arginine" in the amino acid is beneficial to overall health and can help maintain the vitality of the circulatory system. Professor Xie Mingzhe pointed out that in addition to protein, general meat and dairy products contain L-arginine, but the content is rare and the absorption by the human body is limited. When taking L-arginine, you can combine it with vitamins and plant chemicals such as pomegranates, red wine, grape skins and berries. This can promote metabolism, improve skin quality, reduce fatigue and help increase physical strength.

Deep-sea fish oil also has health benefits. The main components of fish oil are polyunsaturated acids called EPA and DHA, which are the best sources of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids in the Omega-3 series. The human body cannot synthesize them on its own and must be supplemented from food. It can help regulate the concentration of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood to prevent cardiovascular disease and stroke, and has a protective effect against heart disease.

In addition, nutritionist Lin Xiaohan also pointed out that according to statistics from the Department of Health, Executive Yuan, 1 in 4 adults in Taiwan suffers from high blood pressure, and it is estimated that about 1 in 4 adults in the country suffer from high blood pressure!

There are 4.3 million patients with hypertension, and hypertension has returned to the list of the top 10 causes of death in China, with the annual death toll exceeding 4,000 and a trend of becoming younger. Cardiovascular disease is closely related to lifestyle, eating habits, obesity and other factors.

Drinking 150-300 ml of aloe vera juice every day can not only regulate physiological functions and achieve health effects, but also provide the nutrients needed by the body, help the body's environmental protection, allow the body to self-purify, maintain digestive tract function, and enhance overall health and vitality, especially for patients with hypertension.
