Blood Vessel Dilation
Blood vessel dilation is defined as weakening or thinning of the walls of blood vessels, such as arteries, veins, and capillaries, leading to an outward bulge in the weakened area. Neglecting treatment can have negative consequences, potentially causing leakage or rupture of the blood vessels. The risks vary depending on the area affected by blood vessel dilation and there are different types, such as dilation of blood vessels in the brain, abdominal and thoracic aortic dilation, and dilation of blood vessels in the legs, as well as other less severe types.
How to Avoid Blood Vessel Dilation?
- Avoiding smoking or consuming alcoholic beverages of various kinds is advisable.
- Regular physical exercise is important, even if it is just walking for half an hour every day, as it can be highly beneficial.
- Consistently consuming low-fat dairy products helps strengthen blood vessels.
- Regular screenings should be conducted to detect blood vessel dilation in various areas of the body early, which facilitates treatment.
- Attention should be paid to consuming lean poultry and meat.
- Eating healthy meals reduces the likelihood of blood vessel dilation, so it is important to consume fruits, vegetables, and grains such as lentils, chickpeas, and wheat.
