Chinese medicine explains why heart disease "values boys over girls"

Heart disease "son preference" was originally a common disease of the elderly, but it has a trend of rejuvenation in recent years. And whether young or old, the incidence of men is always higher than that of women. A large number of long-term statistics show that between the ages of 25 and 65, the probability of men suffering from heart disease is about twice that of women, and after 65, this ratio will gradually decrease. There are four main reasons for heart disease: there are differences in fat cells between men and women, and there are differences in composition and distribution of fat cells between men and women. The excess fat of obese women is distributed in the buttocks, abdomen and legs, while the excess fat of obese men is more accumulated in the abdomen, resulting in countless "big belly buddhas" and "generals' bellies". Moreover, the fat cells in the abdomen are more active than those in other parts of the body, which can easily transport fat into the blood circulation and enter the liver, prompting the liver to produce low-density lipoprotein, which can be deposited on the heart and arterial wall through blood circulation, which can further cause arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease and stroke. Reason 2: Estrogen in women can prevent cardiovascular diseases. Physicians generally believe that the most important factor is that estrogen, which is unique to women, plays a defensive role. Estrogen has a certain regulatory effect on plasma protein, which can reduce low-density lipoprotein and increase high-density lipoprotein. Moreover, estrogen can self-repair blood vessels, so it can protect cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, estrogen in women is called "loyal guardian" by medical scientists to prevent cardiovascular diseases. Reason 3: There is a natural substance TPA in women. The second reason of heart disease is that there is a natural substance TPA in women's blood, which can eliminate blood clots. Ottavi O 'Gabala of Harvard University said in the report of the annual meeting of the American Heart Association that TPA can prevent excessive blood clots. Compared with men, the content of a natural chemical that inhibits TPA in women is lower, so TPA can circulate smoothly in women. His research shows that the content of substances that inhibit TPA in women is roughly the same as that in men before and after menopause. Therefore, with the increase of age, the difference in the incidence of myocardial infarction between men and women will narrow. Reason 4: Men are under great pressure and secrete more adrenaline. When a man gets married, he shoulders the responsibility of making money to support his family. The stress of men's life is also one of the reasons for the "preference for men over women" in heart disease. British cardiologists have found that the stress of daily life can make men secrete adrenaline that may reach harmful levels. Adrenaline can make fat enter the blood circulation system, and it is easy to induce heart disease when adrenaline reaches a certain level over time.
