In this regard, I suggest that everyone should have a deep understanding of hypertension at ordinary times, such as what is the culprit causing hypertension? How to prevent the occurrence of hypertension? Let's look at these two questions.
What is the culprit of hypertension?
The main clinical causes of hypertension are aging, heredity, obesity, bad habits and diseases.
Especially, people with high blood pressure in the family often eat too spicy and salty food, are obese, and people who often smoke and drink and stay up late are more likely to get this disease. Hypertension also prefers to find middle-aged and elderly people over 50 years old;
Because these people's physical function is declining, if they don't have the habit of maintaining their bodies in their early years, their blood pressure may remain high for a long time in middle-aged and elderly people, causing chronic damage to their bodies.
Therefore, after entering the age of 50, we must adhere to the "three more and two less" at night to keep blood vessels healthy and stay away from high blood pressure.
First of all, what a light diet. A light diet can prevent the stomach from being stimulated by food and help maintain the normal digestive and metabolic functions of the stomach.
If you often eat too spicy, stimulating and salty food at night, it will easily lead to increased gastrointestinal burden and blood pressure fluctuation.
Regular intake of too much fat, sugar and salt will lead to the decrease of vascular elasticity and the increase of blood lipid, blood sugar and blood pressure, which will cause damage to the body.
Second, exercise more. People's life lies in sports. If the amount of exercise during the day is relatively small, then try to increase some exercise at night, such as walking, jogging or dancing, and doing exercise for half an hour after meals, which can play a good exercise role for the body;
Maintain the normal blood circulation of the whole body, make the nerves in the brain well regulated, reduce the tension of capillaries and arterioles, and reduce the incidence of hypertension.
Third, get more rest. Everyone should get into the habit of going to bed on time, so that the body can get enough rest time, and human cells can repair themselves better, which is helpful to improve immunity and disease resistance.
If you stay up late for a long time, your body can't get enough rest, which will lead to the sympathetic nerve becoming excited, which will make people's blood pressure fluctuate and it is more likely to cause blood pressure to rise.
Fourth, smoke less. People inhale many harmful substances, including carcinogens, when smoking, so smoking is one of the biggest culprits of lung cancer.
When smoking, these harmful substances will also enter the human blood and circulate to all parts of the body. Long-term smoking will lead to more and more harmful substances in the blood and blood vessels will become more and more brittle.
In addition, harmful substances such as carbon monoxide and nicotine can cause irritation to the kidneys. After a large amount of catecholamine is released, the heart rate will accelerate and blood vessels will contract strongly, causing hypertension.
Especially smoking before going to bed at night, because the room environment is relatively closed and there are many harmful gases inhaled, which is more harmful to the human body.
Fifth, drink less. After a busy day, many people will drink some wine at night to release themselves.
Drinking a small amount may not have much effect on the body. If you drink a lot for a long time, alcohol will cause irritation and damage to the liver and stomach.
It will lead to systemic vasoconstriction, faster blood circulation and faster heart rate. Over time, you will get high blood pressure.
It seems that the harm of hypertension to people is not too serious, because patients will not have serious discomfort after suffering from hypertension, which also makes many patients hold a contemptuous attitude towards hypertension.
However, once hypertension is neglected and rises for a long time, it is easy to cause damage to small blood vessels, kidneys, brain and heart. Once coronary heart disease, cerebral hemorrhage, renal failure and other complications occur, people's lives will also be seriously threatened.
In order to avoid these situations, I hope everyone will pay attention to hypertension, actively prevent the rise of hypertension, and don't let hypertension enter their own lives and endanger their health.
