Old Li has suffered from hypertension for more than ten years, usually are particularly careful about diet and activity, recently heard that there is a marathon activities, Old Li also want to participate, but the thought of their high blood pressure, I do not know whether they can participate in the marathon, they checked on the Internet whether they can participate, but a day down, but did not get a uniform answer, some people said yes, some people said no, Old Li also confused, before often I heard people say that hypertension should be more physical exercise, why now they want to participate in the marathon, but there are doctors do not agree to it? This problem is indeed very typical, many issues involving disease are not absolute, exercise does help lower blood pressure, but this exercise must have a degree, that is, not all exercise is suitable for hypertensive patients, so the answer is actually obvious: “Old Li can not participate in the marathon, but running can really help patients control blood pressure. “ The reason why running can prevent and control hypertension is because running can relieve people’s psychological stress, can make blood circulation speed up return flow increase, dilate blood vessels so that they are subject to less pressure, and a large amount of sweat discharge blood total amount of reduction. In the treatment measures of hypertension, reasonable exercise to reduce blood pressure is very effective one of the methods, but the marathon is a kind of strenuous exercise to challenge the limits of human beings, patients with hypertension can not participate in marathon activities, hypertensive patients can choose low-intensity exercise, for example: you can choose jogging, walking, try not to run fast, running time can not be too long, only adhere to the low-intensity exercise can Only by insisting on low-intensity exercise can blood pressure be controlled. Can all hypertensive patients run? What do I need to pay attention to? Not all hypertensive patients are suitable for running, because the exercise of patients with cardiovascular disease has certain risks, especially for patients with severe hypertension, if the exercise method is not correct, not only can not reduce blood pressure, but also fatal. Drink a little bit of water before running and then exercise, for hypertensive patients can avoid sweat loss blood lipid thick cause safety risks, and after running can not drink too much water, if said thirsty need to replenish water, please small mouth slowly swallow. Running can indeed lower blood pressure, but the factors that cause high blood pressure are more, so you can not just run to lower blood pressure, if the blood pressure is relatively high, or to adhere to the medication, listen to the doctor’s advice, can exercise to listen to the doctor’s advice, after all, in the treatment of hypertension, exercise is only an auxiliary treatment, rather than the main treatment measures, and not the only.
