Overall, it is true that people living in the South are less likely to develop cardiovascular disease than those in the North. This is due to a number of factors and cannot be summarized in a nutshell. Today, Dr. Zhang will talk about some of the possible reasons for this, as a way to draw attention to the problem, and hope that it will be helpful to you.

1. Dietary factors

Dietary habits of the residents of the South than the North, the amount of salt is lower than the North, the residents of the North generally heavy mouth. At the same time, the northern residents of the diet is more greasy, the southern residents of the diet is lighter, many dietary habits are destined, northern residents relative to the southern residents of the intake of more salt and oil. This will also appear more patients with hypertension and hyperlipidemia, and ultimately there will be more patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in the north.

2. Environmental factors

The north compared to the south of the natural environment is relatively cold, and the cold natural environment will lead to a significant increase in blood pressure, while the cold natural environment can reduce people's exercise exercise time, leading to more problems with metabolism, which leads to a high incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

3. Temperament

"Since ancient times, Yan and Zhao are many heroes," the image describes the passionate and exuberant character of the North, while the character of the South relative to the North belongs to a more gentle, this difference in character is destined to be hot-tempered residents of the North may have more cardiovascular disease may be.

The above is my own opinion, Dr. Zhang himself is a northerner, loves the north, and because of his work can also realize that northerners are more prone to cardiovascular diseases. I hope that saying so much can provide you with some help. In today's global integration, in fact, there is no longer a clear line of demarcation between the north and the south, where the concept of the north and the south is only used to publicize the concept of healthy living. After all, the concept of healthy living may be beneficial to everyone.

This has a lot to do with the eating habits and climate of the North and South.

1. Many people in the north have heavy tastes

The diet in the north is salty, and many people can't live without pickles at every meal. Get used to the feeling of eating savory dishes for a good meal.

Such as the day before yesterday at my brother's house for dinner, my brother ended up just a big bowl of rice on a plate of almost finished dishes, then burned a big tablespoon of pickles, three or five mouthfuls down, and finally a good smell. Definitely the kind of boozy feeling we have in the north.

And this salting buries the following points:

Having a lot of salt is one of the most important risk factors for hypertension. High salt is associated with an increased risk of developing hypertension with a correlation rating of A, meaning that this view is 100% valid. This is the result of a long-term follow-up survey of 163,743 people from Asia, Europe, Africa and Australia. Hypertension is a major risk factor for cerebral thrombosis (stroke).

2. Northerners eat quickly.

A bowl of rice three or five mouths to eat, did not feel how to come to a bowl, so, often easy to eat more, so also grow fat, a fat, blood fat also followed the abnormal, the chance of stroke is also big.

3. The long winters in the North severely "discourage" people from exercising.

Nine cold days, cat winter is a true depiction of the winter life of long-term northerners. People who go outside, will be completely frozen shrinking, a ha breath, eyebrows, eye hairs are on the frost, cold, simply do not want to exercise. Coupled with the north has inherent heating conditions, outdoor dripping into ice, and indoor warmth like spring, or even summer, a few people nestled in the house to eat, chatter, watch TV, and enjoy themselves, but also "ignored" the movement. Often, wait for the winter and then exercise! But this wait is half a year.

Lack of exercise is an important factor leading to obesity, which causes dyslipidemia, and dyslipidemia is one of the important factors leading to cerebral thrombosis.

4. Northern people have a more homogenous diet

This is mainly related to the fact that in earlier years, there were no more fresh vegetables in the north once winter came. In those years, in winter, Chinese cabbage, carrots, potatoes, sauerkraut, pickles and dried vegetables became the main dishes of the northern people. And people's habits are not so easy to change, especially when they are older, and childhood dietary memories are not so easy to break.

On the contrary, people in the south have less food and more meals, more dietary patterns, more vegetables and fruits, more slow and methodical meals, it is much warmer outside than inside in winter, and the seasonings are diversified, not only a salty one, but also a variety of flavors can be adjusted, such as acidic, sweet, spicy, and so on. Therefore, relatively speaking, there are fewer patients with cerebral thrombosis (stroke) in Guangdong and the southern region than in the north.

Vice Captain ~ Liu Xiaohui (National Public Nutritionist Grade II, Lecturer, Dalian Nutritionist Club Training Department, Director of Wang Xingguo Nutritionist Special Training Class IV, Original Creator of Popular Nutrition)

You are welcome to follow, comment, like, or just "spray" anything! We love nutrition, we are a reliable nutrition science team.

With the continuous improvement of our people's living standards, people are living a more affluent life, but along with it is more and more people suffer from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, especially the disease of stroke, according to research found that China's incidence of stroke and mortality rate presents a "high north and low south" trend, that is to say, people in the south than the north have a lower chance of suffering from stroke. That is to say, people in the south have a lower chance of suffering from stroke than people in the north. Why is this the case? Here, Lefty will analyze the reasons with you.

Stroke, or what we usually call stroke, a person who has a stroke is actually the result of a combination of factors, especially when subjected to some of the major risk factors, such as atherosclerosis, advanced age, smoking, alcohol consumption, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, cardiac disease, heredity, or disorders of the coagulation mechanism, etc., and under the effect of these common risk factors, especially high blood pressure, which is a risk factor, one is more prone to stroke.

First, I think the fact that strokes are less frequent in the South and higher in the North is mainly related to these two reasons:

First, the climatic and environmental factors are different between the North and the South

China's vast territory, which has resulted in the south and the north of different climatic environments. The north is often affected by the Siberian cold winds and dust storms, thus making the climate of cold and drought are more obvious; while the south belongs to the subtropical climate, year-round are in the high temperature season, even in the winter season, the real cold is only a month or two, while the rest of the time is relatively warm. Therefore, from the point of view of the cold season, the north than the southern cold season is much longer, and the relative temperature is relatively low, the northern cold weather is generally below zero, and even some places to reach tens of degrees below zero, and the southern region even if it is cold, but also generally in a few degrees or so, generally not in the sub-zero temperatures.

Therefore, people in the northern region in such a relatively cold environment, then their human body peripheral blood vessels in the long-term cold only tend to long-term contraction, which will easily lead to increased blood pressure. This can be seen from the high incidence of hypertension in the provinces, some data show that in China Tibet, Northeast, Beijing, Hebei, Tianjin and other regions are high incidence of high blood pressure, while China's southern regions, such as Hainan Province, Guangdong and other regions are low incidence of high blood pressure.

The most common complication of hypertension is stroke, and the higher the blood pressure, the more likely it is to occur. Therefore, the climatic and environmental factors in the north have a great impact on the incidence of stroke, and factors such as dryness and high cold naturally increase its incidence. In addition, the cold season in the north is relatively long, in such a cold external environment, the northern people in the outside sports exercise time will become very little, in addition to work, basically stay indoors, so the lack of appropriate exercise naturally leads to a high incidence of cardiovascular disease.

Secondly, the eating habits of the North and the South are different

Japanese scholars once did a study, they compared the impact of geography and temperature on the incidence of stroke, based on the dietary situation to make further research comparisons, from which it was found that the occurrence of stroke and lifestyle is obviously related to the dietary structure is an important element that affects the occurrence of stroke and prognosis. From this finding of the Japanese scholars, combined with the dietary habits of the north and the south of China, we can see why people in the south have a lower chance of having a stroke than people in the north.

We tend to say that northerners are more bold and brash, not only in the sense that they are generally taller than southerners, but also in the sense that they are better eaters and drinkers than their male counterparts in terms of food and drink. Generally speaking, people in the north are big mouthfuls of meat, big mouthfuls of alcohol, and generally heavier taste, food put more salt as well as oil. These dietary habits are risk factors for cardiovascular disease, which can lead to hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and atherosclerosis in the northern population.

On the contrary, our south, especially like our Guangdong, generally diet is relatively light, in the fried vegetables put salt as well as oil are relatively small, many people in the north are not accustomed to eating Guangdong dishes, precisely because the Guangdong dishes are equivalent to their northern dishes is really too light, just like boiled cabbage. And in the dietary intake of green vegetables are more than meat, and not as bold as the northerners, big mouthfuls of meat, there must be hard vegetables. In addition, in terms of drinking, the southerners are also far worse than the northerners, the southerners drink with a small cup, little by little; northerners drink with a big bowl, a big mouth a big mouth to drink.

Therefore, the different dietary habits of Northerners and Southerners naturally determines the difference between the two in terms of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases, ultimately dooming Northerners to suffer from high blood pressure and stroke than Southerners have a greater chance of occurring.

Of course, if people from the north come to the south, live here for a long time, and get used to the climate and eating habits of the south, then naturally, like people from the south, the chances of developing high blood pressure and having a stroke will become quite low.

Second, how can northern populations reduce their risk of stroke?

From the above analysis we have learned that people in the north relative to men are prone to cerebrovascular accidents, stroke, mainly to the climate and environmental factors as well as dietary habits factors related to the northern population, so the northern population to reduce the risk of stroke, you need to start from the following aspects of this:

The first is to pay attention to keeping warm and preventing cold in winter. The cold weather in the north tends to make the peripheral blood vessels of the human body suddenly contract, thus making the blood pressure suddenly rise, which will easily lead to stroke. So for some elderly patients with high blood pressure, it is best to do a good job of protection against the cold in winter when you go out, to wear a hat, gloves, to prevent cold. Another point to note is to avoid taking cold showers and winter swimming. Some people in the north like to take a cold shower, like winter swimming, so that the body is subjected to a large area of cold water stimulation, then it is more likely to cause peripheral vasoconstriction, which leads to a sudden rise in blood pressure, prone to cause a stroke.

Secondly, you can eat a lighter diet, avoiding too much salt as well as meat, and it is best to be able to limit the consumption of alcohol and not to consume too much alcohol.

Third, more sports exercise. Although the cold weather in the north is relatively long, many people do not want to exercise in the cold, outdoor exercise is even less. People in the north may wish to exercise indoors, which can not only effectively promote blood circulation, but also fat loss, effective weight control, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Fourth, for patients with underlying diseases, such as hyperlipidemia, diabetes, hypertension, atherosclerosis patients must be timely control and treatment of these underlying diseases. In particular, patients with hypertension must control their blood pressure in time and take antihypertensive drugs in strict accordance with medical advice. At the same time, they should also measure their blood pressure frequently, go to the hospital for regular checkups, and adjust the treatment program in time.

Low-risk region I: Hainan

Good environment, light diet

Hainan: hypertension, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease deaths are among the country's bottom four

With the "two lakes" region, in sharp contrast to Hainan, both hypertension and coronary heart disease deaths are the lowest in the country.

Compared to other provinces, Hainan's population base is small, but the reasons can be better found in Hainan's environmental factors and living habits.

Hainan is known as the "health island", "longevity island", as of the end of 2015, the province has a total of 2,083 centenarians, longevity index ranked among the country's top.

Hainan Island's unique geographic location has brought about a superior natural ecology. Surrounded by the sea on all sides, Hainan belongs to the oceanic tropical monsoon climate zone, which provides the prerequisites for a suitable human existence - pleasant temperatures, fresh air and sufficient water.

Hainan air quality is top-notch. According to the authoritative release of the Hainan Provincial Department of Ecological and Environmental Protection: in 2015, Hainan province's air quality is generally good, the number of good days is 97.9%. Hainan has the country's first-class air quality, high oxygen content of the air, known as the "natural oxygen bar". So the serious threat to human life, especially the elderly life of the main diseases, such as coronary heart disease, chronic bronchitis, pulmonary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, etc., the incidence of Hainan are lower.

Hainan is rich in seafood, fish, fruits, Hainanese people eat a light diet, food in the seafood, especially deep-sea fish more, meat and vegetable balance, low-calorie, low-fat conducive to human health.

Experts believe that cerebral hemorrhage, coronary heart disease, as well as myocardial infarction are triggers, triggers accounted for a large proportion of the environment and living habits, such as heavy tastes, air is not good, and the average temperature of Hainan is more than 20 degrees, is the best living environment for all organs, hypertension and coronary heart disease incidence is low.

Low-risk region II: Qinghai, Ningxia, Tibet

Good air and coarse food

Qinghai: Hypertension deaths lowest in China

Ningxia: fourth lowest number of deaths from cerebrovascular disease, third lowest number of deaths from hypertension

Tibet: Coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease deaths lowest in the country

Cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality rates have risen year after year, then Tibet, Qinghai, Ningxia and so on have managed to escape the onslaught.

Similar to Hainan, Tibet, Ningxia and Qinghai are sparsely populated and have less heavy industrial pollution. The air is good, there are not many toxic substances such as sulfur dioxide, etc., the impact on the body organs will be less. 2016 "China's Provincial Ecological Civilization Status Evaluation Report" pointed out that in the field of ecological environment, the top two scores are Tibet and Hainan.

In terms of dietary habits, Tibet, Qinghai and other places prefer coarse grains, mixed grains. Coarse grains, mixed grains dietary fiber, both soluble nutrients, but also can not be absorbed by the body of crude fiber, so its laxative effect is very significant, can effectively alleviate and prevent the high incidence of constipation in modern people, reduce the incidence of colon cancer, and mixed grains are relatively large in size, low calorie, many doctors recommend that the patient to eat mixed grains, and take it as the best first choice of staple food for diabetes, hyperlipidemia and vascular diseases.

Hong Zhaoguang, a famous cardiovascular disease education expert, introduced the medical profession to form a consensus that 15% of a person's healthy longevity depends on heredity, 10% depends on social conditions, 8% depends on medical conditions, 7% depends on the natural environment, and 60% depends on his or her lifestyle. Although the environmental factors are impossible to control, but if one of the percentage of sixty percent of the living habits adjusted, the control of the disease is absolutely no problem. It is important to realize that how healthy your blood vessels are, how long your life will be.

cerebral hemorrhageThis problem is really all too common in the North, and living in the North and being a dietitian, I would like to analyze it today from personal observation:

Differences in temperature may contribute to obesity

We all know that the biggest difference between the north and the south is the temperature is different, for example, this time in winter, the north has been freezing cold, and the south is still in the spring breeze. Usually, people in the north can rarely go out in winter, unless they like to exercise in the gym. When the temperature is right, I used to enjoy running outdoors, going to the park to increase energy consumption, and relaxing my body and mind. But in the winter months, it's hard to keep going out and exercising when you're cooped up in your house by the cold weather. With less physical activity and more body fat, it's easy to gain weight in the winter.

High-fat diet leads to cardiovascular disease

People in the north like to eat some warm food in winter, which can ward off the external cold, and often choose meat, pork stewed with sauerkraut, pork and cabbage stewed with tofu are popular authentic northern dishes. People unknowingly through the intake of a lot of saturated fat, was trying to ward off the cold, but at the same time too much fat intake is easy to produce obesity. Some people buy processed foods and eat them directly, seldom cooking with their own hands. Unbeknownst to them, processed foods contain trans fats, which increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Misconceptions lead to too little intake of leafy greens

There are fewer types of vegetables in the north in winter, and many northerners are used to spending the winter with sauerkraut, cabbage, turnips, potatoes, and pickles, leaving a serious shortage of leafy greens throughout the winter months. This habit is especially true for people over 50 who have not yet changed their thinking and feel that this is how they should eat in winter. There are also people who think that pickled cabbage, potatoes and turnips are seasonal vegetables, while fresh leafy greens are anti-seasonal and bad for one's health, which is actually a cognitive error in inherent thinking. My teacher once said that the only thing in season in winter in the north is a patch of yellow earth. Increasing the intake of fresh vegetables and fruits can maintain the health of the body and effectively reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Are smart modern people still following the winterization methods passed down from the older generation?

Excessive salt consumption

According to statistics, the northern people's salt consumption is high up to more than 10 grams, with the "Chinese residents dietary guidelines" recommended by the following 6 grams per person per day, a difference of more than double, and salt intake and high blood pressure, gastric cancer, strokes have a close relationship.

drinking wine

Northern people are particularly bold, drinking also like to drink, we will get together to drink a sound, I'm afraid that in the South seem to be incomprehensible things. In fact, drinking alcohol a to be limited, just we do not know how much to drink to be appropriate, often drunk. The amount of alcohol per day for men is no more than 25 grams, and the amount of alcohol per day for women is no more than 15 grams. Excessive drinking causes liver damage, gout, cancer, and cardiovascular disease and other risks.

In summary.The cold winter in the north, people in order to resist the cold outside high-fat diet, not much green leafy vegetables lead to little intake, cold weather makes people do not want to go out, the total amount of exercise is reduced, the empty weight of the high salt consumption, drinking too much alcohol, these are the risk factors for the high incidence of cerebral thrombosis. The advantage of the south is that the four seasons are warm and spring-like, the body size of the south is small, drinking alcohol, salt is less than the north, leafy greens are abundant throughout the year, which are all conducive to the health of the south. If the southerners do not take advantage of these favorable conditions, make themselves fat, do not eat vegetables, high-fat diet will also become a high-risk group of cerebral thrombosis.

The incidence of cerebral thrombosis is indeed higher in the North than in the South.

Cerebral thrombosis is a serious condition that can result in ischemia of the brain tissue, or insufficient blood supply to the brain, and in severe cases, stroke, hemiplegia, and even death. Globally, 15 million people die from cerebral thrombosis each year.

The occurrence of cerebral thrombosis is related to dietary and lifestyle habits. The cause of the disease is atherosclerosis, which means that the arteries are narrowed due to the buildup of fat, blood clots, connective tissue, and calcium carbonate inside the arteries, resulting in a narrower passage for blood supply, which is why the disease develops.

In the north, the winter is very cold, in order to resist the cold, people tend to supplement a lot of high-fat food, the winter in the north of the vegetables are very few, generally can eat is the cellar of the cabbage radish and so on, and is the pickled sauerkraut, in addition to the north of the diet is relatively high in salt, the dish tastes more salty. People in the north are also fond of drinking, usually in large quantities. Because of the cold weather, they are generally less likely to go outdoors in winter, and a family prefers to be indoors, resulting in a lack of exercise and the accumulation of fat in the body. All these are the main reasons for the high incidence of cerebral thrombosis in the north.

So no matter in the north or south of the river, we still need to control the diet, increase the intake of green leafy vegetables, reduce the consumption of high-fat food, and do more exercise. Especially in the north, you can do some indoor sports at home, do exercises, practice boxing, drink less alcohol, from the root to prevent the occurrence of disease.

Thanks for the question invitation!

The phenomenon mentioned in the question does exist, in fact, not only cerebral stroke, the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases throughout the South are less than in the North, which is due to a number of reasons, which can be basically summarized into several categories, that is: lifestyle and dietary habits, climate, heredity, etc., the following Elf doctor on the analysis of the introduction of the respective:

First of all, let's talk about dietary habits. Diet from the overall point of view, the northern diet is salty, the southern diet is light, before Dr. Elf's article has talked about, too much salt intake can lead to the occurrence of high blood pressure, which is a risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. In addition, the south is richer in vegetables and fruits than the north, and the south people eat more dietary fiber, which is beneficial to reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. It is also necessary to emphasize the staple food, the south is mainly rice, and the rice produced in the south is different from the north, although it is not so full and good taste, but it can effectively reduce the intake of excessive carbohydrates, so it can reduce the incidence of high blood glucose and high blood cholesterol, which is a risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease.

Let's talk about the climate again. We all know that winter is the season of high incidence of cardiovascular disease, which is related to the contraction of blood vessels as the temperature drops. The warmer climate in the south can minimize the impact of this factor. In addition, people who have lived in the south know that in the winter inside and outside the same cold, people's daily activities will not be reduced, while the north due to the cold outdoors, outdoor activities in winter will be reduced, which inadvertently increases the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease.

Lastly, on the issue of genetics, previous studies have shown that there are some genetic differences between southern and northern Chinese, and some studies have confirmed that there is a correlation between the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and genetics, so there is also the possibility that northerners are more susceptible to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases from a genetic point of view, but this has yet to be confirmed in future studies.

The above analyzes the reasons why southerners are not prone to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases from three aspects respectively, but it needs to be emphasized that with the development of society, the previously mentioned dietary habits of the north and south are constantly integrating, some places in the south are also discussing the issue of winter heating, and people in the south and north are constantly on the move, so a lot of influencing factors have been weakened, and with the continuous maturation of the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease prevention system, the future Both the south and the north will enter the era of prevention-oriented.

Cerebral thrombosis is nothing but a clinical condition based on atherosclerosis as a pathology, and after many epidemiological statistics, the South does have a slower atherosclerotic process and a longer life span than the North.

So what's the reason?

1, dietary reasons: the southern diet is lighter, cooking techniques to steam, boil-based, while the northern diet is more greasy, in fact, since the gradual unification of tastes many of the more greasy dishes are gradually into the southern society, but the native southerners are still fresh vegetables, fish as often eat things;

2, living habits: southern people live a more casual life, love sports, running or walking everywhere in the south, the north used to be relatively rare, but in recent years there has been a gradual increase in the north-south differences are also caused by the incidence of cardiovascular disease in the south is low, while the north is high for one of the reasons.

3, environmental factors: the southern climate is humid, more greenery, everywhere you can see beautiful flowers and plants, large green leaves, even in winter, the leaves on the trees are still green, while the northern air is dry, less greenery, there are often sandstorms, there are also a number of heavy industrial factories, resulting in serious air pollution to the point of increasing the risk of disease;

4, the weather: the northern winter is colder, in fact, the southern winter is colder, but the northern indoor temperature is higher, so the winter people would have eaten more greasy, in the comfortable temperature at home so that people do not want to move; and the south is also cold, but the home is even colder, people choose to go outside the activities of the may be a little more.

I am a northerner, and I love my great north, but, in summary, all of this is also telling us to exercise more, pay attention to our dietary structure, and start with me to improve the environment, save energy and reduce emissions for the benefit of our children and grandchildren!

Why is there a north-south difference in cardiovascular diseases? In fact, this question is quite understandable. As long as there is a relationship between the classification of diseases and geographical areas, most of them are related to the following points!

I. Living environment related

The South has less climate change, and temperatures are much higher year-round than in the North! And the cardiovascular diseases that we know, their onset are diseases that are closely related to the seasons! Cardiovascular disease in the fall and winter, that is, the cold season is high, while the southern region is less cold time, this is one!

II. Lifestyle habits

There is also a difference between the living habits of northerners and those of southerners, because the temperature difference in the south is small and the cold time is less, so the southerners harbor less at home, and the northern people's bold and spontaneous character is more likely to make the increase of bad habits, such as smoking, alcoholism and so on! And southerners are relatively few! These habits are one of the reasons for the high incidence of cardiovascular disease among northerners!

III. Dietary habits

Northerners have heavy tastes and a more rugged diet, generally eating more than Southerners! That's why Northerners tend to be bigger than Southerners! But these high salt and high fat diets, as well as the rough and tumble diets, bring indeed a greater incidence of cardiovascular disease than southerners! This is the third!

In fact, not only cardiovascular diseases, but also most of all epidemics related to geographical areas are caused by these three categories! So, how to prevent and avoid these three types of elements will improve the high morbidity rate!

Pro, see what I mean? Follow us to get daily updates on science tweeted to you!

This shows that more people are beginning to pay attention to their health, to the causes of diseases, and to the awareness of disease prevention, which is also very gratifying to clinicians.

"A superior doctor does not treat the disease when it is already present, but treats the disease when it is not yet present", as stated in the "Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine". A skillful doctor teaches people to prevent diseases, rather than pulling a patient back from the death line when he is on the verge of death. There is a consensus between Chinese and Western medical practitioners on the prevention of diseases.

Understanding the cause of the disease also takes the disease by the throat.

Hong Zhaoguang, a renowned expert in cardiovascular disease education, proposed that 15% of a person's healthy longevity depends on heredity, 10% on social conditions, 8% on medical conditions, 7% on the natural environment, and 60% on his or her lifestyle.

Although it is impossible to control the environmental factors, if the living habits, which account for sixty percent of them, are adjusted, there is absolutely no problem in controlling the disease. It is important to realize that the theory that how healthy your blood vessels are, how long your life will be, has reached a consensus in the medical community.

A cerebral thrombosis is a problem with a blood vessel.

The most fundamental cause is atherosclerosis, and the causes of atherosclerosis are no more than the ones mentioned above.

firstly, genetic 15%, we can't change that.

secondlyThe 10 per cent social conditions are now good, with food and clothing, and the four modernizations have been achieved, freeing people from heavy agricultural production and giving them more time and freedom.

People are experiencing the best social conditions ever, and life expectancy has reached 71 years on average. Social conditions do not differ much between the South and the North, but are generally better in the South.

thirdly, 8% of health care is better in big cities than in small cities, better in small cities than in rural areas, and better in the plains than in the deep mountains. The south is better than the north.

Fourth,7% of the natural environment. The north and the south can not be compared to the south, the south of the air is humid and high oxygen content, green vegetation cover large, green mountains and water everywhere.

Small rainfall in the north, low green vegetation cover, and from time to time there are sandstorms, winter heating dust, and some heavy industrial enterprises, highly polluting enterprises in the north of the majority, exacerbating the deterioration of air quality, winter haze is often seen in many days of serious pollution.

That 7% is basically taken by the South, eclipsing the North in comparison. Obscure weather also affects the mood.

In the north waste garbage into the body more, less removal, resulting in increased blood waste, blood thickening blood waste accumulation blood vessel wall thickening

fifthly, 60% lifestyle, including diet, mood, personality, and habits.

1. Eating habits.

Southern people have a relatively light diet and love to drink tea. Research has found that tea contains a variety of antioxidant substances and antioxidant nutrients, for the elimination of free radicals have a certain effect.

Therefore, often drink tea to help prevent aging, with health care functions, drink three or two cups of tea a day can play a role in preventing aging. Northern people are bold, love to eat meat and drink, heavy taste, like high salt food.

But meat can easily lead to excessive fat intake, increasing the incidence of obesity, fatty liver, high blood cholesterol, colorectal cancer, hypertension atherosclerosis and other diseases; excessive alcohol consumption will greatly increase the probability of fatty liver, alcoholic cirrhosis and other diseases. These dietary habits have a direct relationship to the length of human life.

2. Personality factors.

The character of the South is low-key, keep soft, thorough, practical, simple life, pay attention to health; the character of the North is blunt and exuberant, hot, high-profile work, hospitality, etiquette and complexity.

As a result, northerners tend to live with more psychological stress than southerners are cranky and irritable.

Southerners have less mental stress, focus on wellness, and a slow lifestyle conducive to good health.

3. Mood.

After investigation, it is confirmed that maintaining a pleasant and relaxed mood is the most important magic weapon to overcome the disease, and a pleasant and relaxed mood can improve body functions and promote the excretion of toxins.

And sadness anger depression will make the body produce toxins harmful to health, according to research studies found that breastfeeding mothers and family quarrels and anger after the secretion of 50 ml of milk can be caused by the death of mice, better than the man smoked a packet of cigarettes a day of harm. Most people in the south pay attention to health and peace of mind. Northern people are stressed and irritable.

4. Habits.

In the winter, southerners like to run outside because it's too cold inside. Northerners say, "It's too cold, go inside." Like to stay inside, lack of exercise, and like to eat high-calorie, high-fat food to protect the cold, not only easy to fat accumulation, but also easy to high blood fat and high blood pressure.

In short, this 60% lifestyle, northerners are also inferior, and obesity, high sodium diet, high blood fat, high blood pressure, atherosclerosis are cerebral thrombosis triggers.

It is thus not surprising that the incidence of cerebral thrombosis is lower in southerners than in northerners.

However, in recent years, the government has increased efforts to combat environmental pollution, this year is a great effort to cancel the coal-fired heating to natural gas, air quality has been greatly improved, the days of blue sky and white clouds increased significantly, the haze days significantly reduced sharply for many years in a row to increase the planting of forests, the green coverage of vegetation continues to increase, the reduction of dusty weather.

And people in the north also recognize the importance of disease prevention, began to pay attention to health, like to drink tea, increase exercise, pay attention to balanced diet and balanced nutrition, pay attention to emotional regulation.

It is believed that in the near future, in the North, not only the incidence of cerebral thrombosis will be reduced, but also the incidence of respiratory diseases. People will live longer and have a better quality of life!
