June 19 is Father’s Day. Fathers are the “mountains” of children, the “shoulders” of children, and the most solid support for children. As the head of the family, the father has a healthy body is the solid foundation to support the whole family. However, as we have talked about in previous episodes, the dangers of first-hand, second-hand and third-hand smoke to the health of the father and his family are obvious, and there is no difference between alcohol and tobacco, so in this episode we will talk about bars. Wine In China, the wine culture is quite strong, drinking wine for many places is a custom, daily drinking has also become a local habit, now the rapid development of society, the people’s standard of living is a big improvement, the arrival of friends and relatives as well as the usual variety of social functions, basically can not be separated from the wine. However, we know that hypertensive patients need to avoid alcohol, some hypertensive patients often have a fluke, that drink a little does not hurt, in fact, this is very incorrect practice, and the patient is also very harmful. This is a real case A friend of mine is a police officer, usually very busy with official duties. Of course, the social nature will not be less, often in and out of all kinds of drinking venues between, drinking has become a daily routine. And this person is particularly boozy, not to refuse, so others gave a nickname, called the “wine immortal Li Bai”, the kind of sea, the body also looks pretty good, red face. However, it is such a man who looks healthy in all aspects of the body, but in a drinking time, suddenly fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, blue face, limbs twitching, the people present rushed to the hospital it. As a result, it was actually diagnosed as a brain hemorrhage caused by high blood pressure. In the doctor’s rescue, the good life is saved, but became paraplegia, which really let his friends and relatives concerned about his shock. How can a person who normally looks normal suddenly have a brain hemorrhage? It turns out that the officer’s been suffering from hypertension, but they do not take it seriously, usually do not go to the hospital for examination, nor take antihypertensive drugs, diet is particularly inattentive, big bowl of alcohol, big mouthful of meat …… things out, he especially regrets, but it is too late, the rest of his life can only be spent in a wheelchair. This ruined their own health not to mention, but also dragged his family to take care of him for the rest of his life, and lost a good future. This shows how unworthy it is for hypertensive patients to drink! American studies have found that the amount of alcohol consumed is positively correlated with blood pressure levels, which means that the more people drink, the higher their blood pressure levels. And continued drinking is more harmful than intermittent drinking. The study showed that men who continued to drink alcohol had a 40% higher risk of hypertension than non-drinkers over a four-year period. In China, controlled studies have also been conducted and found that blood pressure levels in drinkers were significantly higher than in non-drinkers, especially systolic blood pressure. Some data show that 30ml of alcohol per day (more than half a tael) can increase systolic blood pressure by 4mmHg and diastolic blood pressure by 2mmHg; 60ml of alcohol per day (more than a tael) can increase systolic blood pressure by 6mmHg and diastolic blood pressure by 2-4mmHg. Heavy drinkers have a significantly higher risk of stroke and a mortality rate three times higher than infrequent drinkers! Look how scary these numbers are!
