What do people with hypertension need to know about common sense?

  Hypertension can easily occur in patients with hyperactive Yang constitution, and it is common to see dizziness, irritability, tinnitus and palpitations.  The harm of hypertension to people is mainly reflected in the following four aspects: First, cerebrovascular Easily cause cerebral vascular sclerosis or spasm, the lighter can lead to dizziness, tinnitus, memory loss, balance disorders; further development can lead to transient cerebral ischemic attack, lacunar cerebral infarction; the heavier can lead to stroke, hemiplegia aphasia or even life-threatening.  Second, the heart In patients with hypertension, the peripheral arterial pressure increases, and the heart must double its work if it wants to transport blood out, leaving the left ventricle in a state of continuous high load, leading to left ventricular hypertrophy and strain, and further development can lead to chest tightness and wheezing, limited mobility and other manifestations of left heart failure.  Kidney Hypertension can lead to gradual decline of kidney function, the body can not excrete toxins, and even lead to uremia.  Fourth, the fundus arteriosus Hypertension can cause arteriosclerosis of the fundus, optic papillary edema, and then vision loss.  Hypertension diet should focus on three aspects: First, low sodium diet I am talking about “low sodium” rather than “low salt”, because sodium-containing food is much more than just salt (sodium chloride), on the one hand, in addition to the salt we take less from the salt shaker, but also pay attention to soy sauce, soy sauce, salted vegetables, puffed eggs, puffed eggs, pancetta, pancetta, pancetta. In addition, monosodium glutamate contained in monosodium glutamate, sauces, etc. is another “sodium salt”, which also has the effect of raising blood pressure. The World Health Organization’s latest recommended daily salt intake for healthy adults is 5 grams, while for hypertensive patients, our recommended daily intake is 3 grams.  Second, dieting For every one percent increase in body weight, blood pressure increases by about 5-8 mm Hg. Controlling the intake of calories such as rice, flour and sugar and exercising regularly to keep body weight at the ideal level is the basis for controlling hypertension. Dieting also refers to limiting the intake of saturated fatty acids and cholesterol, eating less animal fat, and limiting the amount of red meat. Coarse grains such as sorghum, sweet potatoes and corn can help with the excretion of cholesterol in the body and are also good choices. Diet is not only to reduce food, but also includes the need to eat more plant-based protein and fish as appropriate, which is effective in preventing and controlling vascular complications.  Third, eat more food containing potassium Potassium and sodium are like sitting on a seesaw, potassium is high, which can prompt the elimination of sodium, which in turn reduces the body’s sodium content, which also reduces the sodium adsorbs excess water into the blood vessels, playing a role in lowering blood pressure.  It should be noted that for patients with renal insufficiency potassium-containing foods and soy products should not be eaten in excess.  In addition, patients with hypertension should drink less alcohol, strong coffee and drinks with too much sugar. Diet is the basis of blood pressure control, but it is also a long road, and it is important to persist. Let’s take the first step to control our mouth.
