1, salt reduction is the most important key point of hypertension dietotherapy. Strict salt restriction can effectively lower blood pressure, and the incidence of stroke and coronary heart disease will also be reduced. China Nutrition Society recommends that the daily sodium intake of healthy adults should not exceed 6g, and that of patients with hypertension should not exceed 3g.
2. Reduce oil intake When the body ingests more oil than it needs, it will be converted into fat and accumulated, and the weight will increase over time, which will lead to obesity. Therefore, the intake of animal oil and trans fatty acids should be reduced in daily life (such as various western cakes, chocolate pies, coffee companions, fast food, etc.). ); Select safe oil, and control the amount of cooking oil and cooking temperature.
3. The common methods to pay attention to the 24-hour blood pressure changes are: home blood pressure monitoring, 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and outpatient blood pressure measurement. These three methods should be organically combined to understand the circadian rhythm of blood pressure and comprehensively manage blood pressure to ensure that blood pressure reaches the standard smoothly throughout the day. ?
4, adhere to long-term moderate exercise If you don't exercise for a long time, the nutrients you eat will not be used, and more and more garbage will gradually accumulate in your blood vessels. Foreign research shows that half an hour's exercise every day, such as walking, cycling, swimming, jogging, swimming or climbing mountains, can play a role in losing weight and lowering blood fat, improving the degree of "rejuvenation" of blood vessels and preventing aging. And if you exercise moderately before meals, the effect of protecting blood vessels will be better.
5. Develop good living habits If hypertensive patients are accompanied by smoking, drinking, lack of physical activity, mental stress and other risk factors, even if blood pressure rises slightly, lifestyle intervention should be actively started. These risk factors often double the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and should be paid attention to. In fact, many people know in their hearts that smoking and drinking are not good, but they can't make up their minds. They need to know more about this knowledge, and changing habits is not as difficult as imagined.
6. Take medicine on time when taking medicine. If the vascular endothelium is damaged and the cholesterol level in the body is too high, with the cooperation of risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes and smoking, too much cholesterol will be deposited on the arterial wall, forming atherosclerotic plaques and causing damage to blood vessels. Therefore, on the basis of changing lifestyle, medical treatment must be carried out under the guidance of doctors.
Finally, talk about the relationship between hypertension and emotion: hypertension with depression and anxiety will make it more difficult to control blood pressure. On the contrary, some hypertensive people are more prone to anxiety disorders, such as smoking, insomnia, secondary or higher hypertension, and hypertensive patients with irregular treatment.
