Folic acid can prevent cardiovascular disease

Many studies show that folic acid can be used not only because of the lack of nutrition caused by the giant red blood cell anemia David, pernicious anemia Dengzheng, for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease also have a good effect.

Folic acid, also known as leaf refined, butterflies glutamic acid, vitamin BC, Vitamin M, belonging to B vitamins. Many studies show that folic acid can be used not only because of the lack of nutrition caused by the giant red blood cell anemia David, pernicious anemia Dengzheng, for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease also have a good effect.

Folic acid, homocysteine involved in cell metabolism. When in the lack of folic acid, homocysteine will result in high volume, thereby inhibiting endometrial endothelial cells caused respiratory damage, leading to cell uptake and lectin low-density lipoprotein, is a risk factor for arteriosclerosis. At the same time, in DNA synthesis of folic acid is essential nutrients, if the lack of DNA synthesis and repair will also be affected, thus forming arteriosclerosis. Note B vitamins intake, lack of folic acid to prevent the body is conducive to the early prevention of cardiovascular disease.

Folic acid is an essential nutrients. Human intestinal bacteria can be synthesized folic acid, but its capacity can not meet the requirements far. General normal dietary intake of folic acid by volume, although not to cause fewer giant red blood cell anemia David, but to control the high homocysteine levels, the daily intake of folic acid is not enough. Especially when the bad absorption, metabolic disorders or organizations need to increase, as well as long-term use of intestinal antibacterial drugs (such as sulfa), and other circumstances, can be caused by a lack of folic acid, attention should be paid to inspect and timely added. University of Washington study showed that increased intake of folic acid, can be avoided each year 49,500 people died of coronary heart disease. Clearly, enough folic acid for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease play an important role.

Milk, eggs do not contain folic acid. Folic acid from green vegetables, fruit, beans, yeast and animal liver, kidney and meat. From real life, people's inadequate intake of folic acid daily, this high incidence of cardiovascular disease is also one of the factors. European and American countries, such as the United States, Britain, France, Canada and so on folic acid compared to the nutritional supplements, such as France's animal fat intake, although more than Nordic people, but their coronary heart disease mortality rates were lower than the Nordic , The main reason is because the French intake of vegetables and fruits more reason. U.S. Health Board recommended in the general food intake, increased to strengthen food or folic acid supplement of folic acid directly. The United States has decided to strengthen all the food must contain folic acid composition, the Government of Canada also claimed to strengthen the added folic acid.

Synthetic folic acid is medicinal butterfly single-glutamate, solubility and absorption of folic acid than natural good. Medicinal folic acid tablets 5 mg per tablet, injection every 15 mg / ml. Compound folic acid per milliliter injection of 15 mg of folic acid, vitamin B1230 mg, 100 mg of nicotinamide. Oral folic acid tablets, each 5 to 10 mg a day three times; intramuscular injection of 15 mg per day 1, 20 to 30 days for treatment. The drug had no adverse reactions, but the injection can cause serious allergic reaction, it is not appropriate to use. Vitamin B1 and B2 can destroy the drug activity, Bunenghunhe use. Phenytoin, phenobarbital deoxy folic acid can inhibit the absorption, not the same clothes.

Therapeutic focus on medication. Peacetime should pay attention to fresh vegetables and fruit intake (more than 400 grams daily), an increase of dark green leafy vegetables, or the proportion of the attention and beans, meat intake appropriate, to ensure adequate folic acid and necessary The vitamin.
