A large number of long-term alcohol consumption, more likely to induce atherosclerosis, aggravating hypertension. Therefore, hypertensive patients should stop drinking.
2, strong tea: hypertension patients avoid drinking strong tea, especially avoid drinking strong black tea. Because the theophylline contained in black tea is the highest, can cause brain excitement, restlessness, insomnia, palpitations and other discomforts, so that blood pressure rises. And drink light green tea is conducive to the treatment of hypertension.
3, dog meat: hypertension disease, although many causes, but most of the nature of Yin deficiency Yang hyperactivity, dog meat warm kidney Yang, can aggravate the Yin deficiency Yang hyperactivity type hypertension. Other types of hypertension, or for the kidney Yang, deficiency Yang disturbance, phlegm and fire within the accumulation of blood stasis, etc., the consumption of dog meat or restless floating Yang or aggravate the phlegm and fire or fire dry blood, are not conducive to the condition.
