Blood pressure, blood lipid and blood sugar are normal but blood viscosity is high. What is the reason, what is the harm, and how to adjust it?

High blood viscosity can be said to be blood viscosity, also known as blood viscosity. In medicine

It is called hyperviscosity, which is easy for middle-aged and elderly people and can be diagnosed by hemorheology examination. The main factors affecting blood viscosity are: blood cell factors, such as the number, size and shape of blood cells, erythrocyte deformability, platelet function and so on.

The reason for this is the following：

food

Foods rich in fat, such as meat and oil, and foods rich in sugar, such as biscuits, cakes and juice, will increase neutral fat in the body. The inexhaustible sugar in human metabolism will not only accumulate in the liver and become neutral fat, but also increase the neutral fat in the blood, making the blood sticky. Similarly, eating too much can also lead to thick blood.

Insufficient exercise

Insufficient exercise leads to insufficient burning of fat and sugar in the body, which eventually turns into fat accumulation in the body. In addition, insufficient exercise leads to the decline of metabolic function, and the residual waste in the body can not be discharged in time, which will also lead to blood viscosity.

pressure

Long-term stress will not only increase blood pressure, but also increase cholesterol and blood sugar, resulting in poor blood circulation and eventually blood becomes sticky.

Drinking and smoking

Excessive drinking and smoking will not only produce reactive oxygen species that "rust" the body (directly or indirectly damage cells in living organisms, which is a cause of aging), but also increase cholesterol and neutral fat, leading to thick blood. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are not only influenced by drinking and smoking, but also by ultraviolet rays, stress and environmental hormones (chemicals existing in soil, atmosphere and other environments will cause hormone secretion disorder when entering organisms). If reactive oxygen species accumulate too much in the body, it will make the body's blood acidic and accelerate aging.

Insufficient moisture

Excessive sweating leads to insufficient water in the body, and the water in the blood will also become insufficient. When the weather is hot, or when you have a cold and a fever, it is easy to cause dehydration. In these cases, blood tends to become sticky.
