Non-pharmacological treatment includes improving lifestyle and eliminating behaviors and habits that are detrimental to mental and physical health to achieve a reduction in the risk of developing hypertension as well as other cardiovascular diseases, including: i. Weight loss It is recommended that the body mass index (kg/M2) should be controlled to less than 24. The health benefits of weight loss are enormous, such as a 5 kg average weight loss in the population and a 10% weight loss in hypertensive patients, which can lead to improvements in insulin hypo-resistance, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and left ventricular hypertrophy. Weight loss is achieved by reducing total caloric intake, emphasizing less fat and limiting excessive carbohydrate intake, on the one hand, and increasing physical activity such as running, tai chi and aerobics on the other. In the process of weight loss also need to actively control other risk factors, alcohol consumption of overweight people to stop drinking, elderly hypertension need to strictly limit salt, etc.. The speed of weight loss can vary from person to person, but the first weight loss is best to achieve a reduction of 5 kg to enhance confidence in weight loss, and then decide on the speed and goal of further weight loss according to the symptoms and relevant indicators of self-awareness. (1) Reduce sodium WHO recommends that each person should not exceed 6 g per day. 80% of the sodium in our diet comes from cooking or high salt-containing preserved products, so the first step to limit salt is to reduce the salt used in cooking and high salt-containing seasonings, and to reduce the consumption of various salted vegetables and salt-cured foods. （Some epidemiological data show that even without reducing dietary sodium and weight loss, if dietary fat can be controlled at less than 25% of total calories and the P/S ratio is maintained at 1, the SBP and DBP can be reduced by 12% in men and 5% in women for 40 consecutive days. A group of Chinese epidemiological data from Beijing and Guangzhou compared, the mean blood pressure, prevalence and incidence of male and female workers in Guangzhou were significantly lower than those in Beijing, except for the high sodium and fat intake in Beijing, which may be related to more protein, especially fish protein, in Guangzhou, suggesting to improve the structure of animal food, reduce pork containing high fat, and increase poultry and fish containing higher protein and less fat. Protein accounts for about 15% of total calories, and animal protein accounts for 20% of total protein. (iii) Pay attention to the supplementation of potassium and calcium. The data show that potassium is significantly negatively correlated with blood pressure, and this correlation was confirmed in the INTERSALT study. However, in the recent TOHP Phase I only found very little effect, Chinese diet is low in potassium and calcium, should increase the potassium content of more calcium-rich foods, such as green leafy vegetables, fresh milk, bean products, etc.. (iv) eat more vegetables and fruits Research has proved that increasing vegetable or fruit intake and reducing fat intake can lead to a decrease in SBP and DBP. Vegetarians have lower blood pressure than meat eaters, and the effect of lowering blood pressure may be based on the combined effect of fruits, vegetables, dietary fiber and low fat. (v) Limit alcohol consumption Although there is evidence that very small amounts of alcohol may reduce the risk of developing coronary heart disease, there is a linear relationship between alcohol consumption and blood pressure levels and the prevalence of hypertension, so it is not advocated that small amounts of alcohol should be used to prevent coronary heart disease. It is recommended that men who drink alcohol should drink less than 20-30g of alcohol per day, and women should drink less than 10-15g. Third, increase physical activity Every participant in sports, especially the middle-aged and elderly and hypertensive patients in sports before the best to understand their own physical condition, in order to decide their own type of exercise, intensity, frequency and duration of exercise. For the middle-aged and elderly should include aerobic, stretching and muscle strengthening exercises, specific projects can choose walking, jogging, taijiquan, gateball, qigong, disco, etc.. Exercise intensity must vary from person to person, according to the requirements of scientific exercise, the common exercise intensity index can be used to exercise the maximum heart rate of 180 (or 170) minus the usual heart rate, such as the requirement for precision is to use 60-85% of the maximum heart rate as the appropriate heart rate for exercise, under the guidance of a physician. The frequency of exercise generally requires 3-5 times a week, each lasting 20-60 minutes, depending on the physical condition of the exerciser and the type of exercise chosen, as well as climatic conditions. Fourth, reduce mental stress to maintain a balanced psychological long-term mental stress and depression is one of the important causes of hypertension and some other chronic diseases, for hypertensive patients, this mental state often makes them less likely to adopt a healthy lifestyle, such as alcohol, smoking, and reduce compliance with anti-hypertensive treatment, mental stress and psychological imbalance of the people, change their mental outlook need to do long-term meticulous On the one hand, the government and policy should improve the general environment, and on the other hand, family members and community physicians should do patient counseling to help these people to participate in social activities, such as sports, painting, etc., and to confide in the confusion of their hearts in club activities to get the counseling and understanding of their peers. V. Other aspects It is also important for patients with hypertension to quit smoking. Although nicotine only causes a transient increase in blood pressure, it reduces compliance with medication and increases the dose of antihypertensive drugs.
