There are numerous treatments for hypertension, but many people only pay attention to medication, raising it to the status of “supreme” and ignoring other treatments, which is actually a misconception. Some friends with hypertension believe too much in the efficacy of drugs and frequently visit major hospitals and famous experts, expecting to get a “panacea” that can completely cure their hypertension; another part believes in the overwhelming advertising, believing that the drugs advertised on TV or in the newspapers are only released after being reviewed and approved by medical experts. In today’s commodity economy, various media, in order to make profits or expand their influence, do not invite medical experts to review the relevant content, as long as it is in line with the regulations of commodity advertising, no one will refuse, and even invite stars with no medical background to endorse drug advertisements to expand the popularity of drugs, one point of treatment effect into ten points; some under the banner of Chinese medicine, claiming to be “ancestral secret recipe “Some of them claim that they can cure high blood pressure without taking long-term hypertension drugs; others claim to be “high-tech products”, “pure natural products” without any toxic side effects, without taking Western medicine, and can replace antihypertensive drugs. The above false advertising is not able to withstand the test of time, hypertension friends if you try these products, a long time to ensure the exposure, so the false things are short-lived, you do not see the “panacea” basically the scenic period of 2-3 years, after which they will disappear, another batch of “high-tech products “powder appearance, and began a new round of indiscriminate bombing, various forms, various tricks of false propaganda, pervasive, so that people have to believe that this is “real”? Why do they deceive the purpose of the name and deception can succeed? The main reason is that people believe in the mass media, especially the major local media; second, the general lack of medical science knowledge, there is a fluke mentality; third, these false advertising completely cater to the public psychology, non-toxic and non-side effects, and can cure the unrealistic idea; fourth, to meet the modern people want to live a long and healthy life psychology; fifth, the elderly friends to understand the new information less, easily deceived characteristics, specifically to The so-called “elixir” is a kind of deception for elderly people. The so-called “panacea”, “high-tech products” why part of the hypertensive friends effective? First of all, natural scientific knowledge tells us that any placebo, psychological suggestion therapy has 30% efficiency, which is the natural law of psychotherapy, as the saying goes, “the letter is the spirit” is the truth; secondly, in the drug publicity at the same time will certainly be attached to a lot of contraindications, such as taking drugs during the period, can not eat fish, shrimp, eggs, meat, can not eat salty For example, during the period of taking medicine, you cannot eat fish, shrimp, eggs, meat, salty, meat, smoke and drink, overwork, stay up late, get angry, and live an ascetic life. These lifestyle changes can control the “three highs” and prevent the “metabolic syndrome”, which will naturally lower blood pressure and turn you into a healthy person if you stick to it for a long time. The latest health report of the authoritative World Health Organization (WHO) believes that the factors affecting health are equal to 60% healthy lifestyle + 15% genetic factors + 10% social factors + 8% medical conditions + 7% environmental and climatic conditions. It can be seen that the most important contribution to health lies in a healthy lifestyle, stopping smoking and limiting alcohol, proper exercise, weight control, eating more vegetables and fruits, low salt and low fat diet, a good state of mind, and the level of socio-economic development, rather than in medication. What does the real world of medicine think about disease? You may not believe it, but the modern medical level can only cure 6% of diseases, while 60% are self-limiting diseases (diseases that heal themselves over time) and 34% are still untreatable diseases, that is, incurable diseases. The actual therapeutic value of drugs: only 10% of them are effective, 30% of them may be effective or ineffective, and 60% of them are not effective at all. Although new hypertension drugs are constantly introduced, greatly enriching the choice of means in the field of hypertension, but, even if the full application of any kind of antihypertensive drugs, the maximum magnitude of the lowering of blood pressure: systolic blood pressure will not be greater than 20 mmHg. diastolic blood pressure will not be greater than 10 mmHg, we call this law of hypertension drugs as the 20/10 rule, because the occurrence of hypertension is very complex, there are known causes, there are many Because hypertension is complex, with known causes and many unknown causes, and the development of hypertension drugs can only target 1-2 causes for research experiments, it is impossible to target all causative factors, so each drug has its strongest indications, but also its limitations and shortcomings. Studies have shown that using one antihypertensive drug alone can only lower blood pressure in 30%-40% of hypertensive patients, while 60%-70% of hypertensive patients need to apply two or more antihypertensive drugs to bring down their blood pressure. As the saying goes, “medicine is three parts poisonous”, any kind of effective therapeutic drugs, can kill the germs, inflammation subsides, on the contrary, must also have a destructive inhibitory effect on normal tissue cells, otherwise it can not play a role in eliminating evil and supporting the righteousness. The so-called “non-toxic and non-side effects” of antihypertensive drugs can not exist, that is, a lot of water drinking can also occur water poisoning The ancient saying “everything has a degree, overkill or too little” profoundly explains the true meaning of antihypertensive treatment. Our hypertension guidelines point out that a healthy lifestyle is an effective treatment for any hypertensive patient at any time, which can lower blood pressure, prevent or delay the occurrence of hypertension, improve the efficacy of antihypertensive drugs, and thus reduce the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular damage caused by hypertension. The European strategy for the treatment of hypertension proposes that appropriate lifestyle changes are the basis for the prevention of hypertension, and that lifestyle-specific changes can completely, effectively delay or prevent the development of hypertension in non-hypertensive patients, delay or prevent the duration of drug therapy in patients with grade 1 hypertension, and help reduce blood pressure in patients already taking antihypertensive drugs, reduce the number and dose of antihypertensive drugs, and help control hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, hyperuricemia and other risk factors. In summary, excessive belief in and reliance on medication to lower blood pressure does not eradicate and cannot completely control blood pressure, but can only play a half-hearted role, there is no “panacea” to cure hypertension, a healthy lifestyle is the cornerstone of the most effective control of blood pressure, based on the rational use of drugs, in order to achieve the ideal state of blood pressure control.
