Drinking alcohol has an effect on blood pressure. Alcohol is followed by the intake of a certain amount of ethanol, which is synthesized in the liver as acetaldehyde, which dilates the capillaries and lowers blood pressure, but the process of lowering blood pressure is short-lived. In the subsequent effect, alcohol causes an increase in heart rate, vasoconstriction, and blood pressure will rise. Low and then high blood pressure has a huge impact on health. Long-term alcohol consumption will also accelerate arteriosclerosis, leading to a gradual increase in blood pressure, increasing the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and in serious cases, can lead to myocardial infarction, cerebral hemorrhage and other diseases, and even life-threatening. Patients with high blood pressure should follow the doctor’s instructions and insist on taking antihypertensive drugs. Try not to drink alcohol, eat a light diet, and eat foods with high vitamin content, such as vegetables, fruits and melons. Appropriate exercise can promote blood circulation and effectively reduce blood pressure.
