Academician Zhong revealed in an interview that he has been suffering from hypertension for more than 20 years, and he has been well controlled for so many years without any complications. He mainly has the following three experiences:
1. Take medicine on time and in quantity: The most important secret for Academician Zhong to control hypertension is to follow the principle of taking medicine on time and in quantity. Only long-term use, control blood pressure, other complications (acute cerebral infarction, acute cerebral hemorrhage, etc. ) is effectively prevented.
2. There are tricks in eating and living: Academician Zhong insists on a light diet and eats less oil and salt. Plant food accounts for 80% and animal food accounts for 20%. Eat more fruits and vegetables and moderate intake of coarse grains to avoid malnutrition. Try not to smoke, drink or stay up late at ordinary times.
3. Insist on sports: Academician Zhong Nanshan loves sports. 1 1959 broke the men's 400-meter hurdle record in the National Games. Now Academician Zhong also likes sports, exercising at least three times a week for more than an hour at a time. Exercise can maintain the vitality of human bones, muscles and even internal organs, and at the same time control weight and help control blood pressure.
Hypertension is a chronic disease. If hypertensive patients want to control their blood pressure, they should be prepared to fight a protracted war. In addition to the above three aspects, patients with hypertension should monitor their blood pressure in time and adjust it in time to avoid side effects such as cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction.
Academician Zhong Nanshan's good control of hypertension can not be separated from the support and care of his family. Hypertensive patients have many things to pay attention to in their lives, and their families and hypertensive patients need to work together to control their blood pressure. Next, let's talk about what the families of patients with hypertension should do at ordinary times.
Patients' families should pay attention.
0 1
Supervise patients to eat light or salty food.
Family members should accompany patients to adhere to a low-sodium diet and eat salty food in moderation. Say goodbye to high-salt foods such as pickles, sausages and bacon.
In addition to eating less salt, patients with hypertension should also pay attention to a sugar-free sugar (including sugar, fructose syrup, honey and fruit juice added to food), which is often used as a food additive, and the fructose component in this sugar may also lead to an increase in blood pressure.
It will increase the sugar content in blood, thus damaging the endothelial cells and function of blood vessels. Excessive insulin can also stimulate vasoconstriction and high blood pressure. After sugar enters the human body, it causes obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and other diseases, and induces or aggravates hypertension.
The Dietary Guide for China Residents suggests that the intake of free sugar should be controlled at 25g per day, that is, the capacity of stainless steel spoon is 5 spoons, and the intake of salt should not exceed 6g, which almost covers a beer bottle cap.
Note: this refers to the intake, not the amount of food put in.
02
Remind patients to take medicine on time.
Many hypertensive patients always think that they can stop taking drugs when their blood pressure drops, which is very dangerous! Because the drug is stopped casually, there is a risk of sudden increase in blood pressure, which is likely to increase the chances of aorta, dissection and cerebral hemorrhage.
Once patients with hypertension take the medicine, they should take it on time according to the doctor's advice and never stop taking it casually. Family members should supervise patients to take medicine on time and in quantity.
If there are "negative" drug addicts, family law will serve them.
03
Assist patients to measure blood pressure regularly.
Patients with hypertension need to go to the hospital to measure their blood pressure regularly to avoid the risk of abnormal increase or decrease of blood pressure. You can bring your own sphygmomanometer if you have the conditions at home.
Might as well prepare an electronic sphygmomanometer, which is more convenient to measure. Generally, it is required to rest quietly for 5 minutes, and then expose the upper arm, and the cuffs should be properly tied. Then measure it again, at intervals of one minute. Measure it three times to make sure the blood pressure value is accurate.
Generally, the blood pressure fluctuates greatly, so it is recommended to test it once at 6:00-9:00 for 7 days 18-2 1 again. If the blood pressure is well controlled, it can be measured at 6:00-9:00 every morning 130/80mmHg.
It is better for two people to do this work together. As the saying goes, men and women are not tired of work ~
04
Supervise the exercise of patients with hypertension.
Insisting on exercise is the basic treatment for hypertension. With the company of family members, it is easier for patients to persist. In addition to supervision, insisting on physical exercise is also good for the health of family members.
You don't have to take a trip, just walk around your door every day ~
05
Patients should be given psychological counseling.
Patients with hypertension should keep a peaceful mind and avoid excited emotions. Family members can enlighten patients with hypertension in time, or listen to music to relax and relieve their anxiety.
Hypertensive patients have a big temper. Just like a baby, family members still need to talk to them politely.
06
Help patients maintain healthy living habits.
Patients with hypertension should maintain healthy living habits, such as smoking, drinking, staying up late and other bad living habits, which must be corrected. We need family members to urge us to change our living habits and eating habits and maintain healthy living habits, so as to stabilize blood pressure.
Only medication and living habits can better control blood pressure and prevent complications.
