Speaking of High blood pressure , I believe everyone will not be unfamiliar with this chronic disease. Hypertension is a disease with a very high incidence rate in my country. As the first of the "three highs", hypertension has had a serious impact on people's lives and health.
Regarding hypertension, the current prevention and treatment strategy is still mainly based on life intervention and drug treatment. Among them, life intervention requires self-discipline for patients with hypertension, while drug treatment requires consistency. Some patients take medication for a few years, and at most decades. In short, they need to persist.
Many people have misunderstandings about the matter of drug lowering blood pressure, believing that as long as the drug lowers blood pressure, you can eat whatever you want, and you don’t need to avoid food at all. Is this really the case? In fact, after taking antihypertensive drugs in , some foods should not be touched casually. For example, it is best not to touch these 4 foods to avoid increased blood pressure.
1.Puzi
Puzi is a kind of fruit that everyone loves, but this fruit may not be very friendly to patients with hypertension. Why?
Because grapefruit contains a substance called furocoumarin, this substance will inhibit the function of the intestinal tract to some antihypertensive drugs metabolic enzymes. In other words, if you take grapefruit immediately after taking antihypertensive drugs, it will cause the efficacy of these antihypertensive drugs to not be best exerted, which will then affect the antihypertensive effect.
Therefore, it is recommended that after just taking antihypertensive drugs, it is best not to rush to take grapefruit, so as not to affect the effect of antihypertensive drugs.
2. Milk
Milk is also a nutritional supplement that is often used to nourish the body in our daily life. However, for patients with hypertension, some taboos should be paid attention to when eating milk. For example, it is best not to drink it after taking antihypertensive drugs, because milk contains a lot of saponins, which can also play the role of inhibiting metabolic enzymes. For patients who have just taken antihypertensive drugs, drink a glass of milk immediately, and the efficacy of the antihypertensive drugs is equivalent to being inhibited, which actually has no antihypertensive effect.
So, after just taking antihypertensive medicine, it is best not to drink milk immediately.
3.Drinking alcohol
Wine is a substance that can promote blood circulation, especially the alcohol component in the wine, and also has the effect of dilating blood vessels. So for those who like to drink, if they have been diagnosed with hypertension, don’t drink alcohol anymore. Avoiding alcohol is an effective means to control blood pressure.
In addition, if you do not pay attention to avoiding your mouth during the medication, you will also drink it without delay. For such a person, blood pressure will be difficult to lower, and it will only rise higher and higher. Because drinking alcohol will affect the liver's metabolism and secretion of metabolic enzymes, and it also has a negative impact on the absorption of drugs. Therefore, you should quit drinking early, and it is best not to drink alcohol after taking medicine, and you must keep it in mind.
4. Banana
1 Banana is also a type of fruit that everyone likes to eat, because bananas can moisten the intestines and relieve bowel movements , which is helpful for people with constipation.
However, for people who have been diagnosed with hypertension, it is recommended not to eat bananas easily, especially after taking antihypertensive drugs orally, since bananas contain relatively more potassium ions , antihypertensive drugs may inhibit the excretion of potassium ions, which will put the body in a high potassium state, which will eventually increase blood pressure.
Therefore, it is best not to touch the banana after taking antihypertensive medicine.
