Tips for preventing aneurysms
Preventing aneurysms involves adopting healthy lifestyle habits and adhering to certain essential nutritional requirements.
Reduce pro-inflammatory factors: Limiting sugar, alcohol, tobacco, and seed oils reduces artery inflammation and therefore the risk of aneurysms.
Consume antioxidants: Antioxidants, whether from vitamins (D, B, C) or nutrient-rich foods, help neutralize free radicals responsible for the oxidation of arterial walls.
Include omega-3s in your diet: These fatty acids, found particularly in fish (salmon, sardines) and fish oils, counteract the inflammatory effects of omega-6s and protect the arteries.
Optimize your vitamin D intake: In addition to its anti-inflammatory effects, vitamin D strengthens vascular walls and reduces vessel permeability. Regular sun exposure is recommended, and in winter, a vitamin D3 supplement may be necessary.
Monitor your blood pressure and consume potassium, magnesium, and vitamin D to stabilize blood pressure and protect vascular walls.
Balance your copper and zinc intake: Ensuring a good balance between copper and zinc is essential to maintain vascular strength.
The importance of physical exercise
Physical exercise is a fundamental preventative method. Regular physical activity helps strengthen the elasticity of arteries and prevent their weakening. Furthermore, exercise stimulates the production of endogenous antioxidants, which protect blood vessel walls from oxidation and inflammation.
In short, aneurysms represent a serious health risk, but one that is largely preventable through a preventative approach. By adopting a healthy diet, reducing risk factors, and engaging in regular physical activity, everyone can help protect their cardiovascular system and reduce the risk of these dangerous events.
