Preventing high blood pressure in daily life

Hypertension is a common disease among the population. It can cause damage to important organs such as the heart, brain, and kidneys, and has attracted much attention. However, although there are many discussions on the mechanism and causes of hypertension, there is no permanent prevention method. Experts believe that the causes of hypertension are closely related to many bad living habits. In addition to genetic and age factors that people cannot control, correcting bad living habits is the most important preventive measure.

The onset of hypertension is closely related to life. Occupational clinical data of patients show that the incidence of hypertension is closely related to the patient's occupation and working environment. The incidence of hypertension is significantly different in different occupations and working environments. Work that requires long periods of concentration and is prone to mental stress is an important factor in inducing hypertension. Sitting for long periods of time at work, work with little activity, and long-term work that stimulates vision and hearing are all likely to increase the probability of hypertension. Workers in these positions should pay more attention to the prevention and monitoring of hypertension, and detect and treat it in a timely manner.

The age and gender survey of patients shows that the incidence of hypertension in patients over 40 years old is three to four times higher than that in patients aged 15 to 39. This set of data shows that the incidence of hypertension increases with the age of people, especially after the age of 40, the possibility of hypertension is very high. The incidence rate is not much different between men and women. Older people should have a physical examination in time and treat hypertension in time if they find it.

Weight and height factors Weight also has a relatively large impact on the incidence of hypertension. People who are overweight or obese are more likely to have hypertension. Height does not have a significant impact on it. Reducing the degree of obesity in the body is an effective way to prevent the occurrence of hypertension.

Genetic factors Many clinical cases have shown that hypertension is related to genetic factors. Children whose parents have a history of hypertension are more likely to have hypertension than ordinary people. Therefore, people with a family history of hypertension should pay more attention to related health problems.

As people age, the collagen fibers and collagen proteins in the blood vessels of the body are continuously lost, resulting in a significant decrease in the elasticity and toughness of the blood vessels. This causes the phenomenon of vascular function degradation. At this time, the fat and cholesterol in the blood are continuously deposited, causing the blood vessel walls to become thicker, the lumen of the blood vessels to become narrower, the elasticity and toughness of the blood vessels to decrease, the blood circulation becomes no longer smooth, and the delivery of blood to various organs becomes difficult. At this time, the body will increase the pressure in the blood to make the blood flow smoother, which can easily induce high blood pressure.

Bad living habits are one of the important factors that induce hypertension. Eating habits can greatly affect the incidence of hypertension. Excessive intake of sodium salt and high-cholesterol foods in daily diet can lead to high blood pressure in people's bodies and increase the risk of disease. Long-term excessive drinking, smoking and staying up late can also accelerate the process of arteriosclerosis in the body's blood vessels, increasing people's risk of developing hypertension.

When people's mental stress increases, the body will automatically secrete adrenocorticotropic hormone and other related hormones. These hormones will cause the body's blood vessels to constrict. The secreted adrenaline will further secrete into aldosterol, which will stimulate the body's blood pressure to rise. When people are in a state of large emotional fluctuations for a long time, it will also cause persistent high blood pressure in the body. These situations undoubtedly increase the risk of inducing high blood pressure.

Ways to prevent high blood pressure

To prevent diseases in your daily life, you must first maintain a light diet. It is best not to consume more than 6 grams of salt per day. If you have a family history of hypertension, you should control your daily salt intake to 2 to 3 grams. Pay attention to the rationality of your diet and ensure the diversity of your daily food intake. You can focus on cereal foods, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and ensure your body's vitamin intake. You should quit smoking and drinking in your life to reduce the harm of bad habits to your body. Do moderate exercise, which can improve your body's immunity and prevent obesity. Pay attention to emotional stability and try to maintain a stable and calm mood.

Pay attention to the maintenance of blood vessels. You can use nutritional supplements to strengthen and soften blood vessels. The right amount of nutritional supplements can slow down the aging of blood vessels and restore the elasticity and toughness of blood vessels. Removing cholesterol and triglycerides deposited in the blood can effectively reduce the incidence of hypertension. Supplementing collagen can enhance the elasticity and soften blood vessels. The right amount of fish oil intake can prevent the formation of adhesions in blood vessels, which helps prevent hypertension and thrombotic diseases.

Take antihypertensive drugs as prescribed by your doctor. Once you are diagnosed with hypertension, you need to take drugs for life. Antihypertensive drugs can quickly stimulate blood vessels to dilate, thereby lowering blood pressure. However, antihypertensive drugs also have many side effects. As the dosage of antihypertensive drugs increases, blood vessels will become hardened and brittle. In this case, continuing to use antihypertensive drugs will cause blood vessels to become more fragile, which may cause a series of complications. Therefore, antihypertensive drugs must be used under the guidance of a doctor, and never use them blindly. At the same time, patients should have regular checkups and adjust the drugs and dosages in a timely and timely manner under the guidance of a doctor.

In short, patients with hypertension can lower their blood pressure by intervening in their daily lives and adhering to an individualized medication regimen under the guidance of a doctor to better control their condition and reduce the side effects of medication. Once you find any symptoms of discomfort, go to the hospital for treatment in a timely manner.
