Hypertension is the most common cardiovascular disorder in China today, with a large number of people suffering from it. Patients with hypertension usually take medication for a long time to control their blood pressure, and in addition to daily medication, they must also take some methods to cooperate with the treatment so as to achieve the best treatment effect. The following are a few recommended methods of self-care for hypertension patients. One, adjust the diet hypertension patients to establish a reasonable diet structure to lower blood pressure, to adhere to the principle of low-fat and low-salt diet. In the daily diet should pay attention to light, eat more fruits and vegetables that are conducive to lowering blood pressure, eat less high-fat food, reduce the intake of cholesterol, and pay attention to supplementing sufficient calcium and potassium, because calcium and potassium can promote the excretion of sodium in the patient’s body, which has a great effect on lowering blood pressure. Second, quit smoking and limit alcohol Quit smoking and limit alcohol is essential for hypertension patients to do a good job of self-care, because smoking and excessive alcohol consumption is very bad for the health of hypertensive patients. Tobacco contains nicotine will excite the central nervous system and sympathetic nerves, making the heart rate faster, but also prompt the adrenal glands to release a large number of catecholamines, so that small arteries contract, resulting in increased blood pressure. Long-term heavy smoking will also promote atherosclerosis of the large arteries, small arteries gradually thickened intima, so that the entire blood vessel gradually hardened. At the same time, because the smoker’s blood carbon monoxide hemoglobin content increased, thus reducing the oxygen content of blood, so that the arterial intima is hypoxic, the oxygen content of the arterial wall lipids increased, accelerating the formation of atherosclerosis. Third, moderate exercise hypertension patients do not easily give up exercise therapy because of some dizziness and headache symptoms, in daily life hypertension patients should choose the appropriate exercise according to their specific condition and body condition for moderate exercise, which is conducive to the regulation of blood pressure. In addition to promoting blood circulation and reducing cholesterol production, exercise can also promote gastrointestinal motility, prevent constipation and improve sleep. Aerobic exercise can lower blood pressure as well as weight loss, such as walking, jogging, tai chi, cycling and swimming are all aerobic exercises. Hypertension is not a disease that can be treated immediately, it requires long-term conditioning before blood pressure can return to normal values, so daily care is indispensable.
