Patients with a history of hypertension should actively control their blood pressure, recommend a low-fat and low-salt diet, and exercise properly.
Running is a non-drug treatment for hypertension, which can improve negative emotions such as depression and anxiety and relieve mental stress, thus preventing the occurrence of hypertension. Therefore, it is suggested that patients with hypertension should run moderately and scientifically.
Patients with hypertension are not recommended? Is running a marathon the same as not running?
Many related materials say that people with high blood pressure are not suitable for running marathons. Do you think it is dangerous for people with high blood pressure to run? People with high blood pressure are really not suitable for extreme long-term strenuous exercise, such as marathon. Hypertensive people are prone to vascular rupture due to vascular sclerosis and poor elasticity. If it is intracranial vascular rupture and bleeding, it is what we commonly call "stroke". So why do hypertensive patients refuse to take part in the marathon?
What will happen to blood pressure during exercise?
The change of blood pressure during exercise is complicated, with many influencing factors and great controversy, so there will be two schools of thought: "Hypertension should exercise" and "Hypertension should not exercise".
At the beginning of exercise, the heart rate is accelerated, the cardiac output is increased, and the blood pressure will naturally increase than usual. Such an increase in blood pressure is a normal phenomenon, and it will recover after stopping exercise, which is not harmful to the general population, but it is dangerous to the hypertensive population.
