Hypertension is defined as arterial systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 140/90 mmHg at rest, the main cause of hypertension is: blood, blood vessels, human genetic damage, for the damaged organs, what is needed is to activate the blood, regulate blood lipids, soften blood vessels, restore the mechanism of blood pressure regulation, and repair the human genetic defects. Pay attention to the combination of work and rest on weekdays, keep enough sleep, participate in work, physical labor and physical exercise within your ability. Pay attention to diet regulation, low salt, low animal fat diet is appropriate, and avoid cholesterol-rich food. Obese people should control the amount of food and total calories, reduce weight appropriately, and do not smoke. A contraindication to an impulsive nature, impulsive temper Hypertensive patients are mostly hyperactive liver Yang physique, easy to impulsive temperament, more irritable, others should be more understanding. Patients should be calm and should not be emotional in dealing with problems; family members, neighbors, colleagues and friends should get along with each other and try to avoid unpleasant conflicts. Once there is a conflict, should be calmly and properly resolved, do not “tit for tat”, adding fuel to the fire.

Tension is often accompanied by panic, most likely to cause cortical and plant nerve disorders, the whole body small blood vessel constriction, blood pressure increased sharply. Therefore, for hypertensive patients, the above factors should be avoided as far as possible to prevent unpredictable. Three avoid having bitterness, mood depression hypertensive patients should be cheerful, should always be optimistic spirit. If you encounter any unhappy things, do not bury in the heart sulking, but should be open to friends and relatives to confide in them, to seek their understanding and help.

Four avoid sadness and sorrow, brain stimulation “natural and man-made disasters” often bring great pain to people (especially emotional people). For hypertensive patients, all kinds of accidents and misfortunes, are an unbearable malignant stimulus. Therefore, when something unfortunate happens at home, friends and relatives must be strategic in informing the patient of the “disaster”, or make the truth lighter, or withhold the truth. Too sad movies, television, should not let them watch, to avoid deterioration of the disease. Five avoid too excited, excessive joy in the heart Excessive excitement, is also a bad mental stimulation. Chinese medicine has long been “(over) happy sad”. If over-excited, the heart is damaged, the mind is restless, the lighter the blood pressure immediately; serious cases can lead to a stroke coma. The “Confucian History” in the Fan Jin and crazy, “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” in the story of Sima Zhao died of overexcitement, are examples of this “joy and sadness”. Six avoid fat and sweet, phlegm blocking gas and blood stasis “fat and sweet” refers to all greasy, sweet products. Hypertensive patients over-eating fatty and sweet, easy to produce phlegm and dampness, internal obstruction of meridians, blood stagnation, thus inducing hypertension and arteriosclerosis, and then lead to cerebral thrombosis, cerebral infarction or cerebrovascular rupture. Therefore, hypertensive patients should not drink or drink less alcohol, eat less high-fat food (such as fatty meat, animal oil and fried food), eat less high-cholesterol food (such as egg yolk, roe, etc.), eat less sweet food with high sugar content; eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, vegetable oil, protein, lean meat and other light food; salt intake should also be reduced, and high sugar, more salt, meat and oil “clear boundary “. Seven avoid stool knot, toilets too hard Hypertensive patients due to hyperactivity of Yang and Yin deficiency, the relative loss of fluid, deficiency, stool easily dry knot. Once the toilet stool, often take a lot of effort. In addition to the body squatting, the lower extremity blood pressure, the upper and lower blood flow is blocked, the result of forceful defecation, it is easy to make the cerebral vessels rupture, resulting in a stroke. Therefore, hypertensive patients should develop the habit of regular bowel movements, often keep the intestinal tract lubricated and stool smooth. You can drink more water, eat more fresh vegetables, fruits (bananas, raw peanut kernels are most suitable), honey, vegetable oil and other laxative foods. When the stool is dry, you should take oral marijuana pills, fruit guide tablets, or the use of laxative drugs such as open cork.

The above one to five taboos are mental and emotional contraindications. Spirituality and emotion belong to the senior neural activity, the human joy and sadness on the stimulation of the cerebral cortex, can excite the heartbeat of the brain, accelerating the central and vascular contraction, on the one hand, can make the heart beat faster, increased blood displacement; on the other hand, most of the region of small blood vessel contraction, peripheral resistance increases, blood pressure is bound to increase beyond a certain limit, may be an accident. Therefore, a relaxed mood and emotional stability is especially important for patients with hypertension. Five to ten taboos are all contraindications in diet and living, which should not be ignored. A good, regular diet and living habits, both for physical fitness, but also to prevent hypertension. The old revolutionary Xu Teli once said “eat not full, sleep early, walk not run” health motto, can be used as a reference.
