[디지털데일리 오현지 기자]The heat wave reached over 30℃ in the middle of the day.
When the weather has a big daily temperature difference, you can suddenly get a ‘cardiocerebrovascular disease’.
‘Cardiocerebrovascular disease’ sounds a little unfamiliar, but it is defined as a combination of cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction and angina pectoris, cerebrovascular diseases such as cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage, and chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes.
It is easy to think that ‘cardiocerebrovascular disease’ mainly occurs in winter, but care is needed even in summer.
In particular, since strong cooling is performed in hot weather, people living in a living environment with a large outdoor temperature difference are exposed to the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Therefore, the medical community recommends that people with chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, high blood pressure or diabetes should maintain their health with a lifestyle to prevent ‘cardiocerebrovascular disease’.
For example, in order not to get ‘cardiocerebrovascular disease’, cigarettes and alcohol must be avoided unconditionally. In addition, healthy eating habits of eating non-salty foods and foods rich in dietary fiber and regular exercise can lower the possibility of developing ‘cardiocerebrovascular disease’.
Previously, the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was the Korean Society of Family Medicine, the Korean Society of Hypertension, the Korean Society for Neurorehabilitation, the Korean Stroke Society, the Korean Diabetes Society, the Korean Society for Obesity, the Korean Society for Prevention of Cardiocerebrovascular Disease, the Korean Heart Association, the Korean Society for Preventive Medicine, the Korean Society for Lipid Arteriosclerosis, etc. On the 16th, 10 professional societies announced ‘Nine Life Rules for Prevention and Management of Cardiocerebrovascular Disease’.
◆ Once cigarettes are useless, I never smoke them.
One year following quitting smoking, the risk of cardiovascular disease is reduced by half.
Secondhand smoke can also increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Smokers have a higher risk of heart attack, stroke, or death from coronary artery disease than non-smokers. There is a lack of evidence that any type of tobacco, including cigarettes, liquid e-cigarettes, and heated tobacco (cigarette-type e-cigarettes) is safe. Therefore, it is better not to smoke any form of tobacco.
It is better to abstain from alcohol
Excessive drinking can cause arrhythmias and cardiomyopathy, and increases the risk of stroke.

It is good to eat the right amount of food regularly, evenly, and not salty.
It’s also good to eat enough whole grains, vegetables, beans, and fish. Beans are rich in high-quality vegetable protein and dietary fiber, and leafy vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, and various antioxidants, which are beneficial to the body. Blue fish is also a good food, as it contains a lot of omega-3 fatty acids.
In particular, the majority of adults in Korea consume more salt than the standard intake, which is a big problem.
The amount of salt you can safely eat per day to reduce your risk of chronic disease is 5.0g. However, the majority of adults in Korea consume far more than this amount, 8.1g daily. Salty eating habits can increase blood pressure, cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and worsen symptoms.
In addition, it is good to reduce the intake of foods high in trans fats, processed meats, refined carbohydrates, and sugar-sweetened beverages.
It is important to exercise regularly for 30 minutes or more every day
Moderate physical activity lowers blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol levels, and reduces the risk of death from cardiovascular disease by reducing weight.
If you do aerobic exercise and strength exercise for at least 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week, you can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
You don’t have to exercise for more than 30 minutes at a time. You can see the effect even if you split the exercise into several short bursts. For modern people who sit for a long time, it is also a good way to exercise in their spare time. Excessive and excessive exercise can be detrimental to patients with cardiovascular disease.
In particular, diabetic patients may experience particularly rapid fluctuations in blood sugar levels. It is recommended to consult with your doctor to determine the appropriate exercise intensity.
It is also important to maintain an appropriate weight and waist circumference.
Obesity and abdominal obesity increase the risk of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia, which increases the incidence and mortality of cardiovascular disease.
A body mass index greater than 25 kg/m increases the risk of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. Obesity in children and adolescents tends to lead to obesity in adults, so it is necessary to actively deal with it.
The diagnostic criterion for obesity is a body mass index of 25 kg/m2 or higher, and the diagnostic criterion for abdominal obesity is a waist circumference of 90 cm for men or 85 cm for women.
◆Take care of your stress management
The hardest thing is stress management. There may be people who are more sensitive to stress than others because of their inborn nature, but you need to find various ways to relieve it.
Stress can increase blood pressure and cause arrhythmias, and elevated blood pressure promotes hardening of the arteries, leading to risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
In particular, smoking, drinking, and overeating caused by stress can be factors that cause cardiovascular disease.
Depression also leads to reduced physical activity, obesity, and smoking, which increase the risk of developing high blood pressure. Therefore, it is good to live with a positive mindset to prevent cardiovascular disease.
◆Prevention of risk factors through regular checkups
Those in their 40s and older who are at high risk of developing high blood pressure, diabetes, and dyslipidemia, and those in their 20s and 30s with risk factors such as obesity, should check their blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels regularly. Recently, the risk of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia has increased even in those under the age of 40, so you should not be vigilant just because you are young.
If you are a patient with hypertension, diabetes, or dyslipidemia, you should improve your lifestyle and receive appropriate management and treatment, such as medication.
Prior to drug treatment, lifestyle habits such as regular exercise, healthy eating, weight loss, and smoking should be improved first. While taking medication, you should try to improve your lifestyle, such as proper exercise.
In addition, drug treatment for hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia, which are important causes of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, must follow the doctor’s prescription.
If the patient decides to change or stop taking the medication, great harm can result. In particular, it is pointed out that side effects may occur even if you rely on folk remedies or health functional foods whose effects and side effects have not been verified.
