In the clinic it is common to encounter sons and daughters who bring their mothers to the clinic, puzzled and confused.

Doctor, my mother has never smoked or drank alcohol in her life, how did she get diabetes and high blood pressure?

This is really what many people wonder, but if you don't smoke or drink, you won't get diabetes or high blood pressure?

In other words, do people who smoke and drink every day have to get diabetes and high blood pressure?

Actually, it's not necessarily true.

Diabetes and hypertension are also metabolic diseases, metabolic diseases are related to lifestyle, but the onset and lifestyle are very much related, smoking, drinking alcohol will have a certain degree of metabolism, and their onset is also affected by a lot of factors, like genetics, the environment, infections and other factors.

Smoking affects the respiratory system more, resulting in damage to the cilia and obstruction of phlegm expulsion, leading to chronic bronchitis, obstructive pulmonary disease and heart disease, and the incidence of lung cancer is also significantly higher because of smoking.

Patients who drink alcohol have an effect on metabolism. Since the liver plays a very large role in glucose metabolism, long-term alcohol consumption may show liver damage, leading to abnormalities in glucose metabolism. Prolonged alcohol consumption and large caloric intake can cause atherosclerosis to appear, leading to hypertension, coronary heart disease and other cardiovascular events.

For older women, even if they don't smoke or drink, the likelihood of developing diabetes and high blood pressure is very high, because both diseases are age-related, and the incidence increases significantly after the age of 50. And because of menopause, without the protective effect of estrogen on blood vessels, the number of people with high blood pressure will also increase significantly.

Regular medical checkups for the elderly population are very necessary so that metabolic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and tumors can be detected and treated as early as possible, and it should not be assumed that the elderly do not smoke, do not drink and do not develop disease states if they have been maintaining a good lifestyle.

Diabetes and hypertension are now the most common chronic diseases in life, the causes of its incidence of research is also gradually in-depth, that how to prevent diabetes, hypertension, to start from the risk factors for its occurrence, smoking and drinking is only one of the causes of hypertension and diabetes, it is also affected by a variety of other factors.

I. In addition to smoking and alcohol consumption risk factors for diabetes include:

1. Genetic:Those with a family history of type 2 diabetes in any first-degree relative have a 2-3 times increased risk of developing diabetes compared to those with no family history of diabetes.

2. Obesity:Type 2 diabetes risk rises with weight gain

3. Fat:The distribution of excess adipose tissue is another important determinant of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes risk.

4. Movement:A sedentary lifestyle reduces energy expenditure, promotes weight gain and increases the risk of type 2 diabetes.

6. Diet: Sugary drinks, unbalanced diet, excessive intake of processed meat, high-fat dairy products, sugar and desserts.

7, other: drugs, diseases such as polycystic ovaries, hyperuricemia, cardiovascular disease, etc., will increase the risk of diabetes.

Second, in addition to smoking and alcohol consumption risk factors for hypertension include:

1. Age:As we age, blood pressure increases, especially systolic blood pressure, and therefore, the incidence of hypertension increases.

2. Obesity:Obesity and weight gain are also major risk factors for hypertension.

3. Family history:Hypertension rate doubles when parents have high blood pressure

4. Reduction in renal units:Adults may be prone to hypertension when renal units are reduced

5. High-salt diet: Excessive sodium intake increases the risk of high blood pressure. >3g per day

6. Excessive alcohol consumption:Excessive alcohol consumption linked to high blood pressure

7. Insufficient exercise:Insufficient exercise increases high blood pressure

8. Other: Secondary high blood pressure caused by some medications or diseases.

In conclusion, both smoking and alcohol consumption are risk factors for hypertension and diabetes, but are not determinative and are influenced by other factors.

People eat grains to produce all kinds of diseases. It is only natural. However, some people package to lift part of the doctor but the cause of illness and some of the characteristics of human behavior or hobbies linked to a one-sided explanation of the cause of illness. Misleading many people. The main reason for people to get sick is the organism itself, and external factors are secondary. So putting smoking, drinking, eating fatty meat, etc. Attributed to the culprits of illness. It is actually a kind of misguidance.

Diabetes and high blood pressure are related to many factors, both diseases have a certain genetic predisposition, and have a lot to do with environmental factors, diet, etc. Therefore, it is not just smoking and drinking that can lead to high blood pressure and diabetes.

There are other contributing factors.

Taking too many antibiotics: can't metabolize them:

Hello, I am Liu Yun, Liu Yun self media. I personally believe that diabetes and high blood pressure are related to genetic predisposition, one is related to eating and drinking and smoking, and the other is also very much related to infrequent physical exercise. They are caused by many factors. Thank you! What do you think?

Diseases that come out of eating have nothing to do with smoking or drinking; eating well, eating a lot, and not exercising (consuming) is the cause!

The current mainstream approach to the cause and treatment of diabetes is wrong. The so-called five horse-drawn carriage therapy changes have no effect. The cause of diabetes is due to long-term high intake of sugar and carbohydrates (that is, all kinds of cereal grains), resulting in long-term high insulin blood, triggering a variety of metabolic diseases, such as high blood pressure, high blood lipids, high uric acid, and high blood glucose, and other kinds of geriatric metabolic diseases. Estimated according to normal eating habits, a fifty-year-old person ate a total of nearly five tons of sugar, eating so much sugar is very harmful to the body. Diabetes runs in families and some say it is because of genetic factors. In fact, it is a family disease caused by the same eating habits. Most of these older women have a sweet tooth and love to snack. Diabetes can be reversed only by giving up sugar and carbohydrates.

Diabetes has a lot to do with genetics, and high blood pressure runs in the family. Smoking and drinking are not so critical. Of course satin refining will help.
