What should people with high blood pressure pay attention to in their living and diet?

People with high blood pressure, keep in mind: three things not to do in the morning, three things not to rush after meals, three things not to do before going to bed!

"Wake up early, don't do it.

1. Not getting up violently

6:00~10:00 in the morning is the first peak blood pressure, blood pressure fluctuations are easy to induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents. So get up must pay attention to move slowly, after a night, this time the blood flow rate is slow, such as get up too hard, muscle contraction will make the blood pressure suddenly rise more dangerous.

So when you get up early, lie down for 2 minutes and then get up slowly. It is not advisable to strain to pass stools.

2、Don't strain to defecate

After a night of metabolism, some of the elderly are prone to defecation effort and constipation, but should not be forced to defecate, so as not to raise abdominal pressure and intracranial pressure, and then raise blood pressure, resulting in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents, should be noted.

3、Don't eat too salty

Many people have the habit of eating salted food in the morning, which is a high salt food and easy to raise blood pressure. Commonly, they are pickled foods, canned food, soy sauce, MSG or oyster sauce, etc. However, these foods are high in salt content, and if they are consumed in excess, they will lead to elevated blood pressure and cause adverse reactions.

Therefore, hypertensive patients should strictly control the intake of such foods and the daily salt content should be less than 6g.

Three No Hurries After Meals]

1、No rush to smoke

Words: "a cigarette after a meal, more than a living god", but at this time smoking doubles the harm to the body. Over the study showed that immediately after the meal smoke a cigarette, will make the heart rate increase 5 ~ 20 times per minute, systolic blood pressure increased by about 10 ~ 25 mm Hg. After meals most of the blood flow to the gastrointestinal tract digestion and absorption, starting blood pressure rises, accelerating the risk of cardiovascular disease. When smoking is bound to accelerate the body's absorption of harmful substances.

2You can't rush into strenuous exercise.

Walk after meals, live to ninety-nine, many people have a misunderstanding of this sentence, here said is not immediately after meals exercise. Especially the middle-aged and elderly weak tolerance, strenuous exercise body simply can not withstand, easy to lead to stroke. Rest for half an hour after meals, and then carry out gentle aerobic exercise such as brisk walking or jogging.

3I'm not in a hurry to take a shower.

After eating, the blood will flow to the digestive system, the rest of the body is in ischemia, lack of oxygen. If you take a shower immediately, it will definitely reduce the blood supply to vital organs, and it will also affect the digestion of food, and in mild cases, it will only cause indigestion. Serious cases can cause accidents, the temperature will stimulate blood vessels, causing vasoconstriction or expansion of blood vessels, the increase in blood flow will lead to a reduction in the blood supply to the brain and heart, triggering cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents. Bath should be arranged in an hour after meals, bath water temperature control in 37 ~ 42 ℃.

The three inadvisable things to do before going to bed]

1、Don't overeat

A considerable part of the people before going to bed have the bad habit of eating late-night snacks, but eating late-night snacks not only lead to obesity, but also will raise blood pressure, increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, high blood pressure patients for their own health, can not eat any food before going to bed, if very hungry may choose millet porridge or drink a cup of milk.

2、Don't forget to brush your teeth

Many middle-aged and elderly people neglect oral hygiene, and when oral hygiene declines, the body's blood pressure rises. And hypertension patients do not pay attention to oral hygiene will lead to increased blood pressure. Studies have shown that the systolic blood pressure of patients with periodontal disease is 3 millimeters of mercury higher than that of normal people, so they need to pay attention to oral hygiene and brush their teeth carefully before going to bed.

Therefore, brushing your teeth in the morning and evening should not be exempted, especially if you have high blood pressure, you need to be more active in brushing your teeth

3No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Emotional fluctuations are the main cause of elevated blood pressure, especially sulking while sleeping can slow down the metabolic rate, but also increase the accumulation of toxins in the body, leading to skin deterioration and accelerated aging. It is easy to cause liver qi uncomfortable, and then raise blood pressure, increase the risk of heart attack or brain infarction. So keep a good mood and avoid excessive fluctuations.

It's actually more than that than @@@ asAlways drink water before going to bedIt is also important to note that many older people are not in the habit of drinking water before going to bed, mainly because they are afraid of getting up frequently at night to go to the bathroom. However, when people sleep, their physical activity decreases and their blood becomes relatively thicker, which accelerates the onset of blood clots if the body is dehydrated.

Therefore, it is best to drink a glass of warm water before going to bed, about 200 ml is appropriate, which will help you sleep, but also to avoid getting up frequently.

Hypertension is a process that requires long-term comprehensive management, especially when the blood pressure control is unstable, and it requires great attention in daily life and work to avoid the physical discomfort caused by it. So specifically to the daily life, how can we better manage high blood pressure? Then you need to pay attention to every detail of life.

For example, these questions posed by the questioner start from the aspects of daily life, such as waking up early, after meals, and before going to bed, to see how people with hypertension, in fact, can manage their daily life and avoid risks. In fact, hypertension does not only need to manage these three moments, should be concerned about every moment, sometimes in the exercise or engaged in physical labor, will cause blood pressure fluctuations, more attention should be paid.

Let's look at the "three don'ts" of waking up early?

Waking up in the morning is the beginning of the day's life and the beginning of hypertension management. Paying attention to hypertension prevention and control from the time you wake up is a good way of life management for hypertensive patients.

Generally blood pressure falls during the night and rises in the morning, especially during the period before medication is taken, when it fluctuates significantly. So much so that early morning is the most common time of day for hypertensive patients to suffer from diseases such as myocardial infarction and stroke, and that elevated blood pressure in the early morning is an important factor contributing to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. That's why it's so important to manage high blood pressure in the morning after waking up.

First, don't get up too early.

After waking up in the morning, do not be in a hurry to get up, you can first lie on your back in bed, move your limbs and head and neck, so that the limb muscles and vascular smooth muscle to restore the appropriate tension to adapt to get up when the position changes, free from causing dizziness. Then slowly sit up, slightly move the upper limbs a few times, and then get out of bed, so that the blood pressure will not have big fluctuations.

Second, don't be exposed to cold environments.

After getting up early, do not go out immediately, especially in winter, from the warm indoor to the cold outdoor, the temperature difference is too large, which can be caused by vasoconstriction, which can cause the blood pressure to rise. Especially hypertensive elderly patients, must pay special attention to, because the elderly blood vessel elasticity will be relatively poor, mainly for systolic blood pressure, which will lead to the human body's systolic blood pressure, especially just get up, blood pressure will begin to rise, sudden contact with the cold environment, the blood pressure will be even higher, do need to go out, pay attention to the heat preservation.

Third, don't strain to defecate.

Many people have the habit of defecating in the morning, especially patients with high blood pressure, if excessive force defecation, it will cause an increase in abdominal pressure, which in turn affects the increase in blood pressure. Especially constipated patients, more attention should be paid to not force defecation.

Let's take a look at the "three urgencies" after a meal.

Three meals a day, a family meal, not only hypertensive patients, anyone who lives like this. But for hypertensive patients, after eating a meal, due to the blood volume to be replenished, can make the blood pressure increase, in addition to the digestion of food metabolism increases after meals, will make a lot of blood involved in the digestive tract to work is easy to cause cerebral hypoxia at the moment, which should be prompted by the hypertensive patients, there are a lot of precautions.

First, don't rush to exercise after meals.

After the meal a lot of blood will be concentrated to our digestive system, the brain of the blood is relatively reduced, if this time exercise will cause the brain blood supply is insufficient, especially high blood pressure patients, will bring arteriosclerosis and other vascular abnormalities, immediately after the meal exercise, easy to bring blood vascular accidents. In addition, due to the accumulation of food in the stomach after meals, exercise immediately after meals will lead to the stomach to be shaken, thereby increasing the burden on the stomach and intestines. So after meals can be appropriate slow walking, avoid strenuous exercise.

Second, don't smoke immediately after a meal.

Many people say that a cigarette after a meal is better than a living god. But smoking immediately after a meal can cause much more harm to the body than smoking on a regular basis. Because the body's blood circulation will be accelerated after a meal, harmful substances are more easily absorbed, and the damage caused will be greater.

In fact, not only do not smoke after meals, hypertensive patients in order to prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease to quit smoking, while avoiding second-hand smoke.

Third, don't take a shower immediately after a meal

Do not go to the bath immediately after the meal, again because the food needs to be digested need more blood, other parts of the body's blood will be reduced accordingly, at this time if you take a bath, the body's skin and muscle vasodilatation, resulting in the elevation of the blood flow, the more significant cerebral blood supply is insufficient, prone to cause dizziness and other discomforts.

So it is important for hypertensive patients to be aware of these problems after meals, and similarly, do not get involved in heavy physical labor immediately after meals, and if you have to work, do it after resting.

Look together, high blood pressure before going to bed which "three should not"?

The period of time before going to bed is the last waking time of our day, after a day's work and life, the night through the note of rest, can let the body to rest, in order to better meet the arrival of tomorrow. For hypertensive patients, a good night's sleep and a regular routine are more important than for normal people, because they can avoid excessive fluctuations in blood pressure, as well as atherosclerosis, reducing the number of accidents of cardiovascular diseases.

So what are some of the things you shouldn't do before bed?

First, it is not advisable to have a midnight snack before going to bed.

People who suffer from high blood pressure should adhere to some good habits in order to achieve the purpose of stabilizing blood pressure. For example, do not eat late-night snacks before going to bed, if you still always have the behavior of eating late-night snacks, in addition to increasing the burden on the stomach and intestines, but also easy because of excessive intake of food appeared to fluctuations in blood pressure, easy to affect the health.

Secondly, you should not drink tea or coffee before going to bed.

In fact, not only people with high blood pressure, anyone should not drink strong tea or coffee before going to bed. Strong tea and coffee can make people excited and affect their sleep, while poor rest can bring about fluctuations in blood pressure, which is something hypertensive people need to be aware of.

Third, you should not get too excited before bedtime.

Many people like to catch up with the drama before going to bed, playing games and so on, which may bring about physical excitement and affect sleep. At the same time, if the mood fluctuation is too large easily lead to increased blood pressure, but also prone to the emergence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Therefore, hypertension patients before going to bed, pay attention not to do some things that affect sleep, not to mention do not do things that make blood pressure fluctuations too large, before going to bed you can soak your feet, listen to soothing music, etc., to ensure that sleep is sufficient, conducive to good health.

In summary, for hypertensive patients, daily must have good habits, and long-term adhere to, pay attention to manage the living and diet and other things, avoid blood pressure fluctuations, so as to achieve effective control of blood pressure, reduce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

I am.@General Practice ChatThank you for your support and interest!

Factors affecting blood pressure can be categorized as congenital and acquired, and it mainly includes: heredity, age, diet, spirituality, exercise and environment. Heredity and age, these congenital factors, are what we cannot change. Diet, spirit, exercise, environment, these acquired factors, we hypertension patients in life, if you can pay more attention to some, is very helpful to control pressure.

I. Diet

Hypertension diet should be taken care of - low salt, low fat, high potassium, limit alcohol, less coffee.

1、Low sag

To be precise, it should be low sodium. The most important ingredient in table salt is sodium chloride, and the intake of too much sodium ions will cause blood pressure to rise. It is generally recommended that patients with high blood pressure should consume less than 6g of salt a day, which is the amount of a beer bottle cap. Of course, for those who are engaged in physical work, especially in summer, sodium ions are discharged more, if the intake of sodium ions is too little, you may not be able to complete the physical labor. In this case, you can increase the salt intake appropriately.

2、High钾

Sodium and potassium ions, in the body, are a pair of antagonistic ions. Increasing the intake of potassium ions helps to inhibit sodium ion activity. Of course, do not supplement too much, too much intake, there will be too slow heart rate discomfort symptoms. It is recommended that you can usually eat some fruits and vegetables high in potassium, such as: bananas, oranges, peas, bean sprouts and so on.

3, Low fat

Excessive fat intake accelerates the hardening of blood vessels, which can lead to a further increase in blood pressure.

4, limited sake

For hypertensive patients, alcohol is not completely off limits. Because a small amount of alcohol has a certain vasodilating effect, therefore, we will have hypertensive patients find that the blood pressure value is lower when they measure their blood pressure after drinking.

However, if you drink a lot of alcohol over a long period of time, it will accelerate the hardening of blood vessels, which is not good for blood pressure. At the same time, a large amount of alcohol will also cause nerve excitation, heart rate acceleration, so that blood pressure rises.

Therefore, patients with high blood pressure should limit alcohol and if they are actually taking antihypertensive medication, then they should not drink.

5. Less coffee

The caffeine in coffee has a pressurizing effect. If the amount is relatively small, controlling the caffeine intake to less than 200 mg, i.e., no more than three cups of coffee per day, will have a relatively small effect on the blood pressure, which is usually no more than 5 mmHg.

If this amount is exceeded, it increases the effect on blood pressure. Therefore, it is recommended to hypertensive patients is less coffee.

2. Spirit

Hypertensive patients should be aware of - emotional stability.

1. Smoothness of mind

"Being in tune with the world" and "Buddhist" are not words that suit young people who are struggling to get by, but they are perfect for people with high blood pressure.

Emotional pulses, especially pessimism and anger, can cause blood pressure to rise. And keeping an even keeled mind is definitely good for blood pressure control.

2, avoid using force to defecate

It has often been reported before that a certain elderly person, while going to the toilet, suffered a stroke. This kind of is actually mostly caused by hypertensive patients, straining to defecate.

The more the bowels fail to pass, the more anxious the emotions become, the increase in abdominal pressure, which in turn causes an increase in blood pressure, followed by a sudden rupture of a blood vessel.

When the bowel movement is not smooth, we can consider the use of corkscrew, as well as improve the diet, to achieve the purpose of smooth bowel movement, do not force the bowel movement.

III. Campaigns

Exercise for patients with high blood pressure should be taken care of - within limits.

Hypertensive patients whose blood pressure exceeds 180/105mmHg when they are quiet and 220/110mmHg during exercise are not suitable for exercise. Forced exercise, fear of stroke risk.

Scientific and effective exercise can reduce systolic blood pressure by 10mmHg and diastolic blood pressure by 5mmHg. It is recommended that hypertensive patients exercise 3~5 times a week for more than 30 minutes each time, and choose aerobic exercise of moderate intensity or above. Such as: running, swimming, hiking.

TIP: Be sure to choose an exercise that interests you, as it will only have a blood pressure lowering effect if you keep exercising for more than 3 months.

IV. Environment

1、Noise, bright light environment

Too much noise and too much light can cause irritation and discomfort. This bad mood can directly affect blood pressure.

2. Low temperature environment

If you are careful, you should notice. Our blood pressure is lower in the summer time; and higher in the winter time. This is mainly because, the temperature will have an effect on blood vessels. When the temperature is high, the blood vessels diastole and the blood pressure drops; when the temperature is low, the blood vessels contract and the blood pressure rises.

Therefore, when the temperature is too low, such as now in winter, we should pay more attention to keeping warm.

In general, patients with hypertension, should pay more attention to the acquired factors affecting blood pressure in their diet and lifestyle.

Hypertension is a very common chronic disease in modern times, and is not only prevalent in the elderly population, but nowadays many middle-aged people also suffer from hypertension.

It has been found that if hypertensive patients pay more attention in their normal life and keep their blood pressure within the normal range, then there is no too obvious difference between life expectancy and healthy people. If hypertensive patients don't pay attention to their maintenance, then a lot of complications will ensue, such as kidney disease, heart disease, stroke, etc., which will have a direct impact on their life expectancy. Therefore, people with high blood pressure must pay more attention to their diet and living, so what to pay attention to? Listen to my human body explorer to give you a talk.

First, get a good night's sleep and a good night's rest.

What does that mean?

"Sleep well" means that patients with high blood pressure should go to bed early and get enough sleep. This is because if a person stays up late at night, the glucocorticoid hormone in the body will be secreted in large quantities, and this hormone can cause an increase in blood pressure and aggravate the condition.

"Getting out of bed" means that people with high blood pressure should be careful not to get up all at once when they wake up. Open your eyes, lie down on the bed for a while, relax, and then get up slowly. Because patients with high blood pressure, especially older patients, the risk of stroke is higher than others, after waking up, if all of a sudden jump up, it is easy to cause some accidents.


Second, keep your bowels clear

Why is it important to keep your bowels open?

This is because when a person is having a bowel movement, the pressure in the abdomen rises, which in turn causes an extreme increase in blood pressure, especially when constipation is present.

As you can see, this is the result of the measurement of the blood pressure of hypertensive patients before, during and after the bowel movement by medical doctors. We can see that the blood pressure is at 135mmHg before the bowel movement, and during the bowel movement, the blood pressure will rise violently by 16mmHg to 151mmHg, and some people can even reach 175mmHg, which is very scary. Such high blood pressure can easily lead to cerebral blood vessel rupture.

We now know why many elderly people have fainted and passed away in toilets, right? It is because of the rupture of cerebral blood vessels caused by a sudden and extreme rise in blood pressure.

Hypertensive patients, especially older patients, must pay attention to the toilet, do not lock the toilet door, can use the toilet is best, the family should be vigilant, in addition to eating easy to digest, containing crude fiber food, conducive to maintaining smooth stool. At the same time can also be used to soften the stool, promote defecation of drugs, such as lactulose, Kaiser Permanente, and so on.

Third, eat light, less oil and salt

High blood pressure, high blood fat, high blood sugar three brothers often go together, then will lead to atherosclerosis, causing cardiovascular and cerebral vascular blockage. Therefore, if you have already suffered from high blood pressure, then the usual diet should be lighter, do not fish and meat, or it will aggravate the condition.

In addition, you should not consume too much salt, not too salty, because too much salt will lead to a large amount of water retention in the blood vessels, resulting in an increase in blood pressure. (The reason is very simple, more salt intake, in order to dilute the salt, can only leave more water in the body, more water, "water pipe" pressure will rise)

Fourth, stop smoking and control alcohol consumption

Cigarettes can constrict blood vessels and cause blood pressure to rise

Alcohol can lead to fluctuations in blood pressure and induce cerebrovascular rupture. You should have read a lot of news about how many patients with cerebrovascular rupture had their attacks at the drinking table.

Fifth, if you need to take medication, take it, and take it according to the doctor's instructions.

Don't be afraid of high blood pressure medicine, if after the doctor's diagnosis, you have to take medicine, then you have to insist on taking the medicine, and must listen to the cardiovascular doctor's advice, the doctor told you to take what kind of medicine, you have to take what kind of medicine, the doctor told you to take how much, you have to eat how much, can't eat more, can't eat less.

for what reason?

Because there are many kinds of high blood pressure medicines, different high blood pressure medicines target different situations, for example, some medicines can not be given to people with kidney problems, some medicines can cause high blood potassium, so you can not listen to isolation of the old king is taking some kind of antihypertensive drugs, you go to take some kind of antihypertensive drugs.

In addition, the dosage of the drug can not be changed casually, can not eat a few tablets if you want to eat a few tablets, eat less without the effect of lowering blood pressure, eat more, the blood pressure drop too much, directly causing insufficient blood supply to the brain, serious or even can lead to cerebral infarction.

Also, antihypertensive drugs must be placed in a place where children can not touch, otherwise it is easy to get into danger, not a while ago there is a 2-year-old child accidentally eaten with his grandmother's antihypertensive drugs, and finally died.


Sixth, have a good heart and don't get excited

The mind should be put at ease, be calm, enhance your cultivation, and don't get excited; when people get excited, their blood pressure goes up. People with a quick temperament are also prone to high blood pressure.


Seventh, less tea and coffee

Both tea and coffee can cause increased heart rate and blood pressure, and can also interfere with sleep, so people with high blood pressure, try to avoid drinking or avoid drinking large amounts of these two beverages

Hypertension is a common and frequent disease. Under the current medical condition, except for secondary hypertension, there is no effective cure for primary hypertension, which accounts for the vast majority of hypertension, and long-term treatment is needed. It is necessary to pay attention to improving the life style, reasonable use of medication under the guidance of the doctor, as well as monitoring the change of blood pressure level and regular review, so as to stabilize the control of blood pressure, reduce the occurrence of target organ complications such as cardiovascular, cerebral and renal, and improve the quality of life. Quality of life.

The treatment of hypertension requires comprehensive intervention, we should start from our daily lives, diet and our lives are closely related to the hypertensive patients, maintain good dietary habits to help control blood pressure levels, it is recommended that we pay attention to: ① Reduce the intake of sodium salt, high sodium salt food will cause water and sodium retention, increase the incidence of high blood pressure, so we should eat less pickled vegetables, salted fish, preserved meats, smoked products and other high-sodium salt food, but also less soy sauce, monosodium glutamate, fermented bean curd and other high sodium salt condiments; ② limit alcohol consumption, long-term excessive alcohol consumption will also cause elevated blood pressure, and will increase the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, so patients with high blood pressure should avoid alcohol, difficult to give up alcohol must be strictly limited to the amount and frequency of low-grade wine such as red wine; ③ do not drink strong tea and strong coffee, so as not to cause accelerated heart rate, blood pressure; ④ less to eat high fat, High-sugar food, although this kind of food will not directly raise blood pressure, but it will cause blood sugar and blood fat to rise, which will increase the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and other complications, so you should eat less fatty meat, poultry skin, fish roe, egg yolk, broth, animal offal, chocolate, cream, western-style pastry, syrups, high-sugar drinks, etc.; ⑤ Cooking is preferable to choose vegetable oil, less animal oil; ⑥ Encourage more fresh vegetables, fruits, coarse grains, potatoes, mushrooms, etc. rich in vitamins, vitamins, and other nutritive substances. Mushrooms and other foods rich in vitamins, fiber and potassium; (7) Encourage the choice of lean meat, skinless poultry, fish, egg whites, low-fat or skim milk and its products, beans and its products and other foods rich in high-quality protein.

Hypertensive patients in daily life should also pay attention to: ① regular medication, it is recommended that you choose a long-acting preparation, morning fasting immediately take medication to reduce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents and to avoid leakage of medication; ② monitoring of blood pressure, regular check-ups, under the guidance of a doctor to adjust the treatment program; ③ strict avoidance of smoking, smoking not only raises blood pressure, but also cause the occurrence of a variety of diseases, so it should be non-smoking, smokers should be active to quit smoking, also To avoid passive smoking; ④ Appropriate exercise, mainly aerobic exercise, exercise 5-7 days per week, more than half an hour per day, step by step; ⑤ Weight control, obese people should pay attention to weight loss, it is recommended to control BMI <24 kg/m2, waist circumference of men <90㎝, women <85㎝; ⑥ Regular work and rest and keep a good state of mind, avoid staying up all night, laboring, and emotional excitement.

I hope you correctly understand, for hypertensive patients, lifestyle intervention should be throughout the treatment, in the use of blood pressure-lowering drugs, hypertensive patients generally need to take long-term medication, but for secondary hypertension, due to the etiology of the cause is clear, in the active treatment of the underlying disease, such as acute and chronic nephritis, pheochromocytoma, primary aldosteronism, hyperthyroidism, sleep apnea and hypoventilation syndrome, etc., the blood pressure can often be normalized or even cured.

As for primary hypertension, since its specific pathogenesis is still unclear and there is no effective cure, it is recommended that once diagnosed, blood pressure lowering medication should be initiated. However, for newly diagnosed primary hypertension, where the blood pressure level has not exceeded 160/100mmHg and there are no other cardiovascular risk factors and complications occurring, if the patient strongly urges for it, antihypertensive medication can be withheld for the time being, and lifestyle lifestyle intervention for a maximum of three months, and if the blood pressure may be controlled within the normal range, the lifestyle intervention can be continued, and if the blood pressure is still not up to the standard, everyone should start blood pressure-lowering drug treatment immediately.

Summarize: hypertensive patients should maintain a good dietary habits, diet should be light, low salt, low fat, low sugar-based, but also need to pay attention to smoking cessation and limitation of alcohol, appropriate exercise, weight control, regular work and rest and maintain a good state of mind, and under the guidance of the doctor reasonable use of medication, regular treatment can be a long-term stable control of the condition.

Don't get up, don't get up and exercise.

Hypertension is a chronic disease, and as long as you have hypertension, in addition to taking your medication on time and measuring your blood pressure regularly, you need to engage in lifestyle interventions, which are appropriate for any time is reasonable and effective for any hypertension.

You need to do the following in terms of living and living:

Live a regular life, avoid excessive mental stress and maintain psychological balance. Emotional excitement and nervousness can activate the sympathetic nerves and thus raise blood pressure.

Do not drink strong tea and coffee after meals. Keep bowel movement, develop good defecation habits, squatting and standing up when defecating should not be too violent and too fast, in order to prevent the occurrence of postural hypotension, it is best to use a seated toilet.

Ensure adequate sleep and should not get up immediately after waking. Blood pressure in the morning is the highest of the day. After waking up, move around in bed for a few minutes to increase blood flow before getting up slowly.

Exercise appropriately, exercise can improve blood pressure levels. Every week, you can carry out some physical exercise within your ability, such as playing tai chi, walking, swimming, jogging, etc., with the massage of the head, prompting the relaxation of vascular smooth muscle, the method is to first rub the two hands hot, and then vigorously and repeatedly massaging the head and face for 20 to 30 times.

Maintain a good mood, do not get angry, impatient and lead to aggravation of the condition, can be appropriate to participate in fishing, painting and calligraphy, playing the piano and other activities.

Just take note of the following in terms of diet:

Reduce sodium intake, with no more than 5 grams of salt per day for people with high blood pressure, including seasonings and processed foods that are high in sodium.

Moderate amount of protein, mainly from plant sources, animal protein can be fish, chicken, beef and milk.

Limit lipids. In addition to coconut oil, vegetable oils such as soybean oil, vegetable oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, corn oil, safflower oil, etc. contain vitamin E and high levels of linoleic acid, which are useful in preventing blood vessel rupture. Reduce the intake of animal offal, brain marrow, egg yolks, fatty meat, shellfish, squid fish and animals.

Choose polysaccharide foods, such as starch, brown rice, standard flour, corn, millet, etc., which contain high dietary fiber can promote intestinal peristalsis and accelerate cholesterol discharge, which is beneficial to the prevention and treatment of high blood pressure.

Stop smoking and limit alcohol. Quitting smoking and drinking reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Regularly measure your blood pressure and check your lipids.

When it comes to diet for high blood pressure, everyone will say to low salt and low fat diet, are tired of hearing, so in addition to low salt and low fat how else to eat? Today I want to say something different.

What should people with high blood pressure pay attention to when they live and eat?

Most people with high blood pressure have two favorite foods: noodles and pickles. Noodles, as we all know, are a staple food, high in carbohydrates in nutrition; and pickles, as the name suggests, are very salty and high in salt, both of which contribute to high blood pressure. If you suffer from high blood pressure, you need to eat less carbohydrates, carbohydrates include noodles, rice, sweet potatoes, yams, potatoes and so on, which we often eat.

What should we eat instead of noodles? We can try to eat more foods that are high in protein, such as milk, eggs, and lean meat. Protein is very important in our body. People with high blood pressure only know that they should eat less food high in salt and fat, but they forget to take protein supplements.

Proteins are made up of amino acids, while carbohydrates and fats can only be converted into non-essential amino acids in the body, essential amino acids must be taken in from the outside world, so even if you have high blood pressure you still need to eat more protein.

The human brain, nerves, skin, muscles, internal organs, blood, and even nails, hair are protein as the main component, while protein is still the body's growth and development, aging tissue renewal and damage to the tissue of the new cell repair raw materials.

Calcium supplementation is very important in the treatment of high blood pressure. Many studies have shown that calcium supplementation is beneficial for stabilizing blood pressure and reducing the incidence of stroke and heart disease. Foods that are high in calcium, such as milk, sesame seeds, shrimp, and kelp, are also high in calcium.

If you have high blood pressure, you should eat less high fat diet and high salt diet in moderation, we all know! But we can not even eggs, milk, lean meat, these high-protein, high-calcium food also do not eat, these foods are also good for high blood pressure, yo!

Hypertension now has a very high incidence rate, and the age of onset is advanced. Factors are also very many, long-term large amount of alcohol, high fat and high salt diet, no exercise, work life pressure is too big.

So for hypertensive patients diet and living need to be regulated from these aspects.

Not exercising immediately after a meal

We need to rest for a while after a meal, at least 30 minutes or more, before we start to exercise. Exercising right after a meal will raise blood pressure, plus eating makes blood pressure rise, which makes it easy for people with poor blood pressure control to be in danger.

Get up slowly in the morning, not all at once.

After a day and night, we are almost past the effects of our antihypertensive medication.

Plus the morning is a good time for hypertension and cardiovascular disease.

So get up need to get up slowly, this time especially the elderly hypertensive patients heart rate, vasoconstriction, blood pressure rises, increasing the burden on the heart, the most likely to induce hypertension and cardiovascular disease and other episodes.
