Dr. Nadezhda Runykhina, the main researcher in the field of geriatric diseases at the Ministry of Health in Moscow, revealed an effective method to enhance and strengthen blood vessels in the aging stage.

Mediterranean diet

Dr. Runykhina points out that the Mediterranean diet is the best dietary choice for promoting vascular health in old age.

The effectiveness of this system is due to it containing high amounts of dietary fiber, fresh vegetables, fruits and fish, which contain omega-3 fatty acids, which are considered essential elements for maintaining cardiovascular health, according to what Novosti reported.

The risks of malnutrition on vascular health

Dr. Runykhina emphasizes that vascular aging depends not only on the natural process of aging, but that nutritional factors play an important role in it.

Excessive consumption of salt, sugar, and foods rich in animal fats leads to hardening of blood vessels and increases the risk of atherosclerosis.

The importance of physical activity

Dr. Runykhina recommends regular moderate physical activity, along with a balanced diet, to maintain healthy blood vessels.

She points out that walking 8 to 10,000 steps per day is considered one of the best exercises to enhance cardiovascular health.

But for the elderly, the doctor must determine the appropriate number of steps for each individual based on his or her health condition.
