When patients with high blood pressure receive the diagnosis, doctors usually say: less salt, less alcohol and regularity. It sounds like old talk. Patient nods, goes out of the clinic。
It was not until a day when blood pressure suddenly went out of control that it began to reflect seriously on what was wrong with itself. There is often more than one problem. The habit of accelerating the deterioration of hypertension can be listed as a long list, but several of them are particularly alarming and may have unexpected consequences depending on the hazard level。
Number five: alcohol, small and unsafe
The term "a small amount of drinking can live blood" has long been popular, but from the point of view of blood pressure management, it does not apply to high blood pressure patients. When alcohol enters the body, it directly stimulates the sensory nerves, leading to a contraction of the blood vessels and a significant increase in blood pressure in a short period of time。
It's not an overdrinking reaction, but a small one can trigger it. The problem of chronic low-volume alcohol consumption is more subtle: the intravascular cell continues to suffer from alcohol irritation, its elasticity decreases and its ability to regulate blood pressure decreases。
The who position is clear that the positive correlation between alcohol consumption and the deterioration of hypertension is quantifiable in clinical data and that there is no concept of safe drinking for high blood pressure patients。
Number four: high salt diet, invisible sodium is the big problem
The problem of drinking is over, and the high-salt diet continues. This taboo is known to a large number of people, but not many are actually implemented. The reason for this is that many patients think that salt control is less salted by cooking, while ignoring the invisible sodium in their daily diet。
Soy sauce, bean oil, soybean petals, pickled pickles, processed meat and bagged snacks, often containing an alarmingly high amount of salt. Research data show that the daily intake of salt increases by 5 grams, and the compression pressure of high blood pressure patients increases by an average of 4 to 9 mm mercury column。
The excess of sodium ion leads to the retention of water in the body, the resulting increase in blood capacity and the need for greater pressure on the heart to drive the blood cycle, which is slowly pushed up。
In china, the diet guide recommends a daily intake of less than 5 grams of salt, while in the actual survey, the proportion of residents who consume more than 10 grams per day is quite high and disparities are considerable。
Number three: stay up all night and destroy blood pressure more than i thought
After high salt, the night was in third place, and many people were surprised. Clinical observation data show that for patients with chronically prolonged hypertension, blood pressure fluctuations are significantly higher than for regular patients, with a risk of cardiovascular complications more than three times higher。
The mechanism for destroying blood pressure by staying up late is as follows: during normal sleep, the body enters a state of relatively low blood pressure, which is a window period for vascular repair and strangulation。
Following the disruption of the rhythm, the sensory nerve continued to remain high, with increased levels of adrenaline and cortex alcohol, and a prolonged contraction of the veins without adequate rest。
Night blood pressure drops by less than 10 per cent and is referred to in sleep medicine as non-tipe blood pressure, with a much higher risk of injury to target organs than normal high blood pressure patients, a concept that many are completely alien to, but which is clinically common。
Number two: strong mood swings, blood vessels are the most afraid of this stimulus
After all the harm of staying up late, the problem of emotion continues. The state of anger, anxiety and chronic depression triggers physical stress, and the levels of adrenal cortex hormones and tea phenolamine rise sharply in a short period of time, with increased exterior vascular resistance and a significant rise in blood pressure within minutes。
This is an acute reaction; chronic and repeated emotional fluctuations can result in sustained damage to the internal vascular function, increased progress in the sclerosis of the artery samples and an increased risk of coronary heart disease and brain infarction。
Studies have shown that patients with hypertension who suffer from chronic emotional mismanagement and whose blood vessels are sclerosis is significantly faster than those with emotional stability, a difference that is particularly marked among middle-aged males aged 40 to 60. Many patients focus on drug control while ignoring their daily emotional state, which is precisely a large management gap。
First in line, the one who's really neglected
After emotional problems, we finally got to the top of the ranking: sitting still. The answer may seem a little flat, but its destructive power is precisely because it looks too day-to-day to be ignored. Sitting at work, eating and brushing your cell phone at home, it's a poor day to really move。
In a state of prolonged sitting, the muscle pump is reduced, the flow of the lower limb veins slows, the blood is heavily silted in the outer circle, and the heart requires higher pressure to sustain the cycle, which increases blood pressure。
In the long term, weight gain and internal fat accumulation due to prolonged sit-in can further exacerbate insulin resistance and trigger metabolic syndrome, and the relationship between metabolic syndrome and hypertension is a vicious cycle of mutual reinforcement。
Epidemiological data show that adults who sit longer than eight hours a day are about 22 per cent more at risk of hypertension than those with sufficient activity。
An aerobic activity of a medium intensity of more than 150 minutes per week can reduce the constriction pressure by an average of about 5-7 mm mercury column, an effect that is comparable to that of some of the first-line depressants, but the proportion of patients with a true persistence in the movement of hypertension is much lower than the proportion of those who are on time。
Taken together, these five elements are characterized by the fact that they are all hidden in everyday life, which is not an extreme act, but that the destruction of blood pressure is persistent and progressive over time。
Management of hypertension is not a drug that can be solved by a single drug, drug control is a value, and the way of life is determined by the real health of the blood vessels. For each of the five things that is less, the control of blood pressure is more leeway。
