❄️Article | Higher Stroke Risk in Winter: Smart Eating to Protect Your Blood Vessels❄️

Winter doesn’t just make you shiver – it makes your blood vessels constrict too! 🔥 When the temperature drops, your body automatically switches to “heat-preservation mode” → blood vessels constrict + heart rate speeds up = blood pressure spikes! Older adults and people with hypertension need to be especially careful!

🍲 Hotpot lovers, watch out! The devil is in the dipping sauce 🧂Satay sauce, cured sausages, rich soup bases… these high-sodium traps can push your blood pressure up! Switch to clear broth + more vegetables, and choose low-sodium sauces for dipping — it keeps you warm while protecting your heart!

🧥 “Onion-style” layering is the smartest choice 👍Outer layer blocks the wind | Middle layer keeps you warm | Inner layer wicks sweat. When moving between places with big temperature differences, give your body some time to adjust — don’t put your blood vessels through “extreme-speed contraction training”!

🩺 Measuring blood pressure is the most practical step 🩸Older adults or people with hypertension should measure their blood pressure 2–3 times a week. Remember: the ideal reading is <130/80! Measure in the morning and evening; if the fluctuations are too large, see your doctor promptly to adjust your medication.

🔥 Being healthy is the true way to be “warm” (inside and out)

Don’t rely only on hotpot to keep warm this winter! Read the full guide now:
