If the antihypertensive drugs are not used, the blood pressure tests on three days on the same day are greater than 140/90mmHg, and it can be diagnosed as hypertension . If it exceeds 130/80mmHg, you should also seek medical treatment as soon as possible for health management. The just-passed October 8 is the 25th National Hypertension Day . Deputy Director of Guangdong Cardiovascular Disease Center and Chief Physician of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital Feng Yingqing reminds that overweight and obesity can promote blood pressure to rise and increase the risk of hypertension.
daily intake of salt shall not exceed 5g
quit smoking and limit alcohol to help prevent hypertension
salt is a necessity in life. We eat salt every day, and residents even enjoy it without salt. However, people usually only pay attention to how much salt is added when cooking to taste good, and rarely pay attention to the close relationship between salt and high blood pressure. Why does eating too much salt increase blood pressure? The salt component is sodium chloride . Excessive sodium ion in table salt is directly related to the blood pressure level and the prevalence of hypertension in the population. The sodium ions increase, and more water enters the blood vessels. When excessive sodium ions enter the blood vessels, the concentration of sodium ions in the blood vessels increases rapidly. At this time, the water in the muscle tissue outside the blood vessels will enter the blood vessels in large quantities, causing the blood volume to rise rapidly, and the pressure on the blood vessel walls also increases, that is, blood pressure increases.
The delicious white banana sea bass attracted a steady stream of diners during the National Day.
"It is recommended that everyone control the daily salt consumption and choose low-sodium salt." Feng Yingqing introduced that the "Healthy China Action (2019-2030)" and the "Diet Guide for Chinese Residents (2022)" advocate that the per capita daily salt consumption should be less than or equal to 5 grams. According to literature reports, reducing salt intake and reducing blood volume is not only conducive to preventing hypertension, but also reducing the blood pressure of hypertensive patients and reducing the risk of stroke , coronary heart disease , myocardial hypertrophy, angiosclerosis, proteinuria and kidney disease.
In addition to a high-salt diet, drinking and smoking above moderate are also one of the risk factors for hypertension. Studies have shown that drinking more than 50 ml of white wine per day (including 24 grams of alcohol, i.e. 2 standard cups) is more than that of non-drinking alcohol users with systolic blood pressure and 1 to 2 mmHg and 1 to 2 mmHg, respectively. And the increase in blood pressure and the increase in alcohol consumption increased. It can be seen that drinking alcohol is indeed one of the risk factors for elevated blood pressure and causing hypertension.
Smoking is also an important risk factor for hypertension. nicotine in tobacco can cause sympathetic nerve excitation , leading to vasoconstriction and atherosclerosis, and causing blood pressure to rise. Smoking is one of the four major risk factors for cardiovascular disease. It can increase the incidence of hypertension, increasing the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke by 2 times and 1 times respectively.
manages weight well and blood lipids
has a good mood to control blood pressure
In addition to the above-mentioned risk factors of hypertension related to dietary and living habits, overweight and obesity can promote blood pressure and increase the risk of hypertension. Abdominal obesity may have a stronger correlation with metabolic syndromes such as hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia. One in every 3 adults in the country is abdominal obesity. Obese patients should live regularly and not stay up late; let themselves feel comfortable, because bad mood can easily lead to inflammation, which will allow fat to be stored.
Hyperlipidemia can also cause blood pressure to remain high. Studies have shown that elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels are the third largest risk factor for cardiovascular disease in China, second only to hypertension and high sodium diets. Therefore, controlling blood lipid levels is important for preventing hypertension.
Obesity increases the risk of hypertension.
"The total amount of physical activity in my country's adults is on a downward trend. Moderate exercise can reduce sympathetic activity, relieve tension and stress, reduce weight, and reduce the incidence of hypertension. Medium and high-intensity physical activity reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Exercise can not only prevent the three highs, exercise cardiopulmonary function, exercise skeletal muscles, but also improve immunity and prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases ." Feng Yingqing suggested that according to his own conditions, he should insist on doing appropriate aerobic exercise every day, perform muscle strength and flexibility exercises. About 5 times a week, each time at least 30 minutes.
In addition, mental stress, depression, and insomnia can increase the risk of hypertension. "Keep an optimistic attitude, relax yourself through exercise, more communication, etc., and accept psychological intervention if necessary." Feng Yingqing suggested.
