For the general public, having ideal blood pressure (under 120/80mmHg) and normal blood pressure (under 130/85mmHg) is certainly congratulatory and indicates that you are in very good health. And people with less than ideal and normal blood pressure should pay special attention to.
1.Patients with hypertension in general should keep their blood pressure under 140/90mmHg.
2, hypertensive patients who also have diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, decreased kidney function but did not occur kidney failure, blood pressure should be controlled to at least 130/80mmHg or less.
3, hypertensive patients with chronic renal insufficiency should be checked for 24-hour urine protein, and if the 24-hour urine protein is greater than 1 gram, the blood pressure should be controlled to below 125/75 mmHg
4. Elderly people should be reduced to at least 150/90mmHg or less.
Clinically, it is found that most of the hypertensive patients will have normal diastolic blood pressure as long as they lower their systolic blood pressure to below 140mmHg. Therefore, regardless of whether you have hypertension or not, it is the simplest and most necessary rule to master a “safety line” and keep your systolic blood pressure at least below 140mmHg.
Fasting blood glucose below 6 mmol/L and glycated hemoglobin below 6.2%
There are many clinical indicators to monitor diabetes, including fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin. Ideally, fasting blood glucose is less than 6 mmol/L, postprandial blood glucose is less than 7.8 mmol/L, and glycated hemoglobin is less than 6.2%. If diabetic patients can ensure that their blood glucose reaches these values, they can restore their health status.
For memory convenience, Hu Da Yi found a tip to remember the number 6. as long as the blood sugar is less than 6, the blood sugar is up to standard. Patients should preferably use a portable blood glucose meter at home for self-monitoring and management of blood glucose.
The standard blood glucose monitoring time is as follows.
1.Before each meal, when the blood sugar level is high, fasting blood sugar level is the first concern, and those who have the risk of hypoglycemia (the elderly, those with better blood sugar control) should also measure the pre-meal blood sugar.
2.2 hours after meal, applicable to those whose fasting blood sugar has been well controlled but still cannot reach the treatment target.
3.Before bedtime, it is applicable to patients who inject insulin, especially those who inject medium and long-acting insulin.
4.Glucose should be tested promptly when symptoms of hypoglycemia appear.
5.It is advisable to monitor blood glucose before strenuous exercise, because strenuous exercise can lead to a transient increase in blood glucose.
6.If there is elevated fasting blood glucose, blood glucose at 3:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. should be monitored for those whose insulin therapy is close to the treatment target and fasting blood glucose is still high.
543 Total cholesterol value, drop to below 5mmol/L for normal people; below 4mmol/L for those with diabetes or coronary heart disease; below 3mmol/L for those with both diseases
What do you need to see when you get the test results? The criteria for dyslipidemia are different for people with or without hypertension, coronary artery disease and diabetes and for people with coronary artery disease and diabetes.
1.No hypertension and less than 3 risk factors, and total cholesterol not higher than 240mg/dl is fine.
2.With hypertension or risk factors greater than 3, total cholesterol should be no higher than 200mg/dl (about 5mmol/L).
3.For those who have coronary heart disease or one of diabetes, total cholesterol needs to be no higher than 160mg/dl (about 4mmol/L).
4. If you have coronary heart disease and diabetes or myocardial infarction, your total cholesterol should be less than 120mg/dl (about 3mmol/L).
(Note: Risk factors include: male 45 years or older, female 55 years or older, family history of early onset coronary heart disease, smoking, obesity.)
0 Zero smoking
Smoking, as well as passive smoking, can greatly increase the chance of developing coronary heart disease, stroke, and myocardial infarction.
Quitting smoking is a good way for anyone to quit without spending money and cure the disease. Quitting smoking can reduce the risk of death from coronary heart disease by 36%, which is more effective than the drugs currently used to treat coronary heart disease; quit smoking for 1 year and the risk of coronary heart disease is reduced to half that of smokers; quit smoking for 5 years and the incidence of myocardial infarction is reduced to the level of non-smokers.
268 The waist circumference of women should not exceed 2 feet 6 inches, and the waist circumference of men should not exceed 2 feet 8 inches
Body mass index, referred to as BMI, is an obesity evaluation index that is commonly used internationally to combine height and weight. To calculate, the weight (kg) divided by the square of height (m) can be: BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height (m)2
Combined with China’s actual, Chinese adults BMI standards are as follows, underweight: BMI <18.5; normal weight: BMI of 18.5 to 23.9; overweight: BMI of 24.0 to 27.9 (the most ideal BMI is 22).
Obesity also has one of the most significant features and potential dangers, which is the general belly. Hu Da Yi gave a standard that the waist circumference of women should not exceed 2 feet 6 inches, and men’s waist circumference should not exceed 2 feet 8 inches.
How to measure waist circumference? The body stands straight, the two feet apart 30 cm to 40 cm, find the midpoint of the line connecting the upper edge of the right armpit hip bone and the lower edge of the rib arch (the natural narrowest part of the waist), along the horizontal direction around the abdomen for a week, and read the soft ruler data at the end of exhalation, that is, the waist circumference. Remember: the longer the waistband, the shorter the life expectancy.
”Walking briskly 10,000 steps a day, that’s my fitness secret.” Hu Dayi told us about his 6 years a “long march”: he insisted on brisk walking 10,000 steps a day for nearly 10 years. Fast walking 10,000 steps a day, can walk about 6.5 kilometers, every 6 years he can walk 14,235 kilometers. In addition to individual cases, the walking distance is equivalent to a “long march”.
Insist on doing 10,000 steps every day, there is a trick to operate. In “Hu Da Yi 10,000 Steps Song”, it is said, “10,000 steps is not good to remember, waist don’t pedometer. Time can be converted, minutes nearly a hundred meters. Ten minutes between jobs, you can walk a thousand meters. Turn the whole into zero, 10,000 steps will be easy. Station to station, a good time to walk, the elevator is too dirty, better climb the stairs. Daily difficulties, excuses to stay away from, for the sake of good health, perseverance placed first. If you can’t do it, think of Hu Dayi, busy and old, 10,000 steps never give up”.
Coffee is not a crime
People often think that coffee will be bad for the heart. Hu Dayi does not agree, “whether green tea or coffee, in fact, are healthy drinks”. He reminds you to grasp the following points can be.
Degree” research shows that daily consumption of coffee, that is, the intake of caffeine is safe. Not only that, the antioxidants and minerals contained in coffee are good for health, so just pay attention to the right amount.” Hu Da Yi said, “Between cola and coffee, I recommend that children drink coffee, as long as they pay attention to the right amount.” He said caffeine has a physiological response that increases the heart rate, and for some patients with premature beats, it is recommended not to drink too strong coffee and to drink it in small amounts several times.
Time Hu Da Yi recommended that 8:00 am, by the coffee will wake up from sleep; 2:00 pm, coffee to open the afternoon time; 10:00 am and 4:00 pm, and then two “tea break”. The proper use of these times to drink a cup of coffee, it is possible to properly improve productivity.
Partner It is also important to choose a good partner for coffee, Hu Da Yi recommends fruit and nuts.
The “blood pressure medicine” at the table
There are many dietary treatments for hypertension, and Hu Da Yi recommends “one skin, one heart, two black and two green” for your reference.
”One skin, one heart” – watermelon rind, lotus seed heart
Take 9 grams each of watermelon cucumis and grass cassia in a decoction, which has the effect of lowering blood pressure.
Lotus seed heart is the germ of lotus seeds, which is generally available in herbal stores and some tea stores. The non-crystalline alkaloid Nn-9 of lotus seed heart has a strong antihypertensive effect.
”Two black and two green” – black fungus and water chestnut, celery and spinach
Some active ingredients in black fungus prevent the formation of lipid deposits in the arterial wall and atheromatous plaques. When the blood vessels are refreshed, it facilitates the stabilization of blood pressure.
The skin of water chestnut is purple-black, so it is regarded as “black” here. There is a folk saying that “three fresh foods are better than one water chestnut”, and this little thing that grows in the sludge is useful for fighting cancer and lowering blood pressure.
The patient with high blood pressure caused by headache, head swelling, often eat fresh celery can relieve the symptoms, celery root decoction effect is better. Spinach contains protein, fiber, glucose, fructose and vitamin B, vitamin C and vitamin D. It can be used as a medicinal food for the treatment of hypertension and diabetes.
There are many ways to eat black fungus and water chestnut, and Hu Da Yi recommends one way to eat them respectively.
”Three colorful treasures”: 15 grams of black fungus, 10 grams of silver fungus and 20 grams of wolfberry, which are the main ingredients, with another 20 grams each of rock sugar and honey. Directions: Wash black fungus and silver fungus with cold water, remove the tips, tear them into flaps, put them in a bowl, add rock sugar, wolfberries and appropriate amount of water; steam them for 30 minutes, take them out and let them cool, then mix them with honey.
Eat as a snack, divided into 2 servings in the morning and evening. Suitable for all types of hypertension, especially for patients with hypertension with atherosclerosis and fundus hemorrhage.
