In the 1950s and 1960s, when my mom and dad were born, according to my dad, they didn't even have enough to eat, and they ate dried groundnuts and pak choi all day long, and even ate leaves in the bad years. White flour is not eaten at all, but only on New Year's Day can eat a white flour dumpling. At that time, eating pickles was really a luxury. It was also true that the food was eaten as a vegetable, because the main food on the table was pickled vegetables.
But why is it that high blood pressure is rare when you seem to consume a lot of salt? First of all, I guess there was very little mention of high blood pressure in those days. Lack of medicine, where there are these modern terms, sick, go to the village doctor haphazardly prescribed some medicine, no matter what the disease first put on anti-inflammatory drugs, painkillers, measuring blood pressure?
It is estimated that many places do not have this instrument. All some people even if the blood pressure is high also do not know, a small disease, does not hinder the work well. But now, there are old people's families, almost every family has a sphygmomanometer, something to take out a blood pressure, frequent measurements, nothing has been measured out of something.
Secondly, in fact, high blood pressure is only a symptom of performance, and eat more salt is only one of the causes of high blood pressure, and the real high blood pressure factors, such as mental stress, smoking and drinking, overeating caused by high blood viscosity, blood eutrophication and so on. These factors are more concentrated in modern society. And in the past, life is relatively simple, eat monotonous, not much stress, and not so good conditions intake of so much fat and so on, cardiovascular problems of course, less.
With urbanization, life is better, people's mental stress, hypertension will become more and more frequent, like depression and other mental illnesses, is also considered a byproduct of modernization.
And the medical means of that time and now is not comparable, that time both the doctor and the professionalism of the equipment are not enough, many of the diseases are not able to be checked out, some people even if they have high blood pressure will not know. Nowadays, our medical level has been greatly improved, as long as there are some symptoms of high blood pressure can be detected. That's why it seems that more and more people are getting high blood pressure nowadays.
But we still eat a lot of salt every day. And because of the busyness of almost no chance of sweating, the chances of getting high blood pressure are still very high. So we usually have to eat more light things, and pay more attention to usually ensure a certain amount of exercise to ensure health ah. Partners, we move together. High blood pressure is a chronic disease, on the human body health is a great danger, especially high blood pressure induced by some of the complications, it is very serious, so we must pay more attention to good dietary habits and habits, to prevent the emergence of this disease.
