For patients with hypertension, in addition to taking antihypertensive drugs every day, we also need to do the following 6 points to ensure stable blood pressure and effectively prevent hypertension complications. Do you know what the difference is? I don't know. Let's have a look!
1、 Develop the habit of measuring blood pressure
For everyone with high blood pressure, they should manage their blood pressure for a long time, even for life. If you want to manage your blood pressure, you have to know how much your blood pressure is. If you take antihypertensive drugs, it doesn't mean that your blood pressure will return to normal, let alone your blood pressure will be stable forever.
Only by forming the habit of measuring blood pressure can you know how your blood pressure is controlled. If your blood pressure is stable, continue to maintain it. If your blood pressure is low, antihypertensive drugs will gradually decrease. If your blood pressure is high, you need to add some drugs. Of course, for those who are not sure, it must be done under the guidance of doctors
But all this must be based on the premise that you know how much your blood pressure is, so take good care of your blood pressure and now learn to measure your blood pressure regularly.
2、 Healthy diet is not only conducive to blood pressure control, but also conducive to the prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases
For hypertension, antihypertensive drugs do reduce blood pressure very straightforward, but antihypertensive drugs are not the only way, healthy life can also reduce blood pressure. Healthy diet is the most effective way to reduce blood pressure without drugs. Of course, a healthy diet is not eating celery, onion and fungus, but a healthy diet is the principle of low sodium salt and high potassium salt.
Specifically, we should gradually increase coarse grains and coarse grains, appropriately reduce fine grains, increase more fruits and vegetables, appropriately increase some dairy products and nuts, reduce the proportion of red meat and fat meat such as pigs, cattle and sheep, and appropriately increase the proportion of fish. Good for blood pressure control.
3、 Proper exercise is beneficial to blood pressure control
New onset of hypertension, and belongs to mild grade 1 hypertension, they are generally advised not to take medicine, first healthy diet, and at the same time with exercise.
For example, we should insist on running, swimming, cycling, aerobics, walking and so on five times a week for at least 30 minutes each time. At the same time, we should do muscle training twice a week according to our own situation. So many mild hypertension do not take medicine, about 3 months, blood pressure can also return to normal. But we must insist!
4、 Work and rest regularly and avoid staying up late
Staying up late can't guarantee sleep, blood pressure will fluctuate the next day, and staying up late for a long time will significantly increase the risk of hypertension. First improve sleep, do not stay up late, blood pressure will return to normal. Staying up late for a long time will not only increase the risk of hypertension, but also lead to aging, diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and the risk of sudden death.
5、 Stay away from alcohol and tobacco
Smoking and drinking can affect blood pressure, especially alcoholism can lead to high blood pressure. Many people say that after drinking alcohol, the blood pressure decreases. In fact, this is an illusion. After drinking a small amount of wine, the blood pressure will drop within a few hours, but after a few hours, the blood pressure will rise, and it will be higher in the long term. So high blood pressure is not recommended to drink, not to rely on drinking to reduce blood pressure, it is recommended that we stay away from alcohol and tobacco!
6、 Weight control can significantly control blood pressure
The body fat patient, found after hypertension, after weight control, weight loss, blood pressure returned to normal. The more overweight, the more obvious blood pressure drop after weight loss. Weight loss of 10mmhg can reduce blood pressure by 5-20mmhg. So weight control can also control blood pressure, but also can prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
