Hypertension is no stranger to us, and is known as the “invisible killer” of human health, because the number of hypertensive patients is large, and the health risks are also large, long-term severe hypertension can lead to heart failure, coronary heart disease, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, kidney disease, stroke, peripheral artery disease, left ventricular hypertrophy and other complications of the most terrible is formation of brain hemorrhage death. Chinese wine culture has a long history, and many writers and writers have left popular masterpieces after drinking. The fast-paced life of today’s society still makes it difficult to avoid all kinds of alcoholic beverages. Many drinkers use the excuse that “moderate drinking is good for health, can activate blood circulation and lower blood pressure” to continue to be greedy and love the cup. For patients with hypertension, drinking alcohol can activate the blood to protect cardiovascular, is this claim really reliable? In August 2018, the world’s top medical journal The Lancet published an article stating that drinking alcohol is directly responsible for 2.8 million deaths worldwide. At the same time, alcohol is directly related to cardiovascular disease, cancer and many other diseases. Several studies have confirmed that the intake of alcohol, no matter how much, is harmful to the human body. As for softening blood vessels, it is even more nonsense. The Lancet article concludes that the safe amount of alcohol to drink is “0”. Therefore, the Lancet recommends that the safest amount of alcohol to drink is 0, that is, no alcohol to be beneficial to health! If a large amount of alcohol is consumed over a long period of time, it can increase blood pressure at night and cause damage to important target organs such as the heart, brain and kidneys due to dysregulation of the circadian rhythm of blood pressure. In addition to raising blood pressure, long-term heavy drinking and acute alcoholism can put the blood in a hypercoagulable state leading to strokes! Alcohol contains more calories and can increase weight, leading to overweight or even obesity, which is also a major risk factor for hypertension. Finally, tell the majority of hypertensive patients, for the sake of their own body, please do not drink as well, to minimize the threat.
