　　Question 1: Is it difficult to breathe in cold weather?

　　Answer "No", pass； Answer "Yes", warning.

　　Difficulty breathing means that the heart is being forced to work harder. If you feel that the heart is under pressure at the same time, you should pay attention. Ryan Simpson, a cardiologist at the British Cardiovascular Society, emphasizes that if you feel difficulty breathing and chest pain and tightness in cold weather, after eating, or during physical exertion, it may be an alarm caused by narrowing of the arteries.

　　Response: Do an electrocardiogram to check heart activity and also do a stress test.

　　TIPS: An experiment by researchers at Forrest University School of Medicine in the United States showed that mice who ate more cauliflower, carrots, green beans, peas and corn every day had a much lower rate of arterial narrowing than mice who did not eat. It turns out that these vegetables can inhibit arteriosclerosis. Arteriosclerosis hardens and narrows the arteries, which can lead to heart disease and stroke. Studies have found that people who eat more vegetables have a lower chance of heart disease.

　　Chronic inflammation of blood vessels is believed to be the cause of arteriosclerosis. Research shows that plant compounds polyphenols have both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. In addition, vegetables are also rich in vitamins and have antioxidant effects, which means they can neutralize free radicals that damage cells.

　　The study focused on cauliflower, carrots, green beans, peas and corn, in part because these are the most commonly eaten vegetables in the United States. It is possible that other vegetables may have similar anti-arteriosclerotic effects, but there is still a need for research.
