First, develop a healthy lifestyle.
Old people should pay attention to the combination of work and rest in their daily life, don't be too tired, don't stay up late, get enough sleep every day and develop regular living habits in order to have better mental health.
Second, a low-salt and low-fat diet.
After the elderly suffer from hypertension, the diet should be light and reduce the intake of sodium salt. Because too much sodium intake will lead to sodium retention in the body, which will lead to an increase in blood volume and blood pressure. So pay attention to eat less or not to eat soy sauce, pickles, snacks and processed meat products.
Third, control weight.
After the elderly suffer from hypertension, they should pay attention to controlling their weight and lowering their blood lipids. Otherwise, they will gain too much weight and consume too many calories, which may cause different degrees of damage to blood vessels and make their blood pressure higher.
Fourth, do proper exercise.
The elderly should exercise properly at ordinary times, which has a good effect on lowering blood pressure, such as playing Tai Ji Chuan, practicing Qigong and taking a walk. But we should also be careful not to exercise too hard, otherwise it will cause blood pressure to rise.
Fifth, quit smoking and limit alcohol.
Cigarettes are not good for human body, and the toxic substances in them will damage blood vessels, which is not conducive to the control of blood pressure, and will also accelerate the damage of arteriosclerosis to the cardiovascular system. We should also pay attention to drinking less or not, because drinking a lot for a long time will cause blood vessels to lose elasticity, cause blood pressure to contract, and lead to an increase in blood pressure.
Elderly hypertensive patients usually need to pay attention to many places. For patients with different degrees of hypertension, we should pay attention to taking appropriate antihypertensive drugs to control blood pressure according to the specific situation of blood pressure. Especially for hypertensive patients with hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia and other diseases, comprehensive conditioning should be strengthened.
