Have you ever heard many people around you say that they drink hawthorn water because of their high blood pressure? Have you ever heard people around you say that celery leaves are the first choice for lowering blood pressure?

Every time I hear these antihypertensive remedies, I will think that many old people have been cheated!

Folk prescription one: celery leaves boil water to lower blood pressure.

This statement comes from celery's high potassium content, and potassium ions can lower blood pressure, so celery is a antihypertensive food. But this is not the case. The potassium content in celery leaves is about 154mg/ 100 g, which is really insufficient compared with cassava (764mg/ 100 g) with high potassium content. If you really want to lower your blood pressure by celery leaves, 10 kilograms a day is not enough.

You can eat celery. There is no need to deify celery. Wouldn't it be better to eat more potassium-containing food in a balanced way?

Folk prescription 2: Drinking hawthorn water helps to lower blood pressure.

This statement comes from the fact that hawthorn contains organic acids, flavonoids and terpenoids, which can really lower blood pressure, but many people have not considered a dose problem. The effective substances contained in a hawthorn are very limited, and the dissolution efficiency of those effective substances in hawthorn soaking itself is also very low, which is far from reaching the standard of lowering blood pressure.

Folk prescription 3: vinegar soaked peanuts soften blood vessels.

This statement comes from the softening effect of vinegar. But in fact, there is no experimental data to show that they can lower blood pressure.

Folk prescription 4: soda water to wash feet and reduce blood pressure

Fake. Baking soda water can't lower his blood pressure by washing his feet. The ingredient of baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. It's more reliable to wash your feet if they stink.

Prescription 5: Kelp and Mung Bean Decoction for Treating Hypertension

A completely unreliable statement. Putting aside the dose to talk about the curative effect is playing hooliganism. Plus, these two foods are cold. Aren't you worried that your stomach can't stand eating for a long time?

Folk prescription 6: Corn beard cures hypertension.

The source of this statement is that the high content of potassium in corn silk can promote urinary sodium excretion and have diuretic effect to lower blood pressure. But again, it's hooliganism to talk about curative effect without dosage. Searching for the function of corn stigma on the Internet can tell you about beauty beauty, delaying aging and detoxifying. In fact, it is to sell so-called health tea bags. The function of corn stigma is not so magical. It is ok to drink it every day as a drink, but it is not necessary as a antihypertensive tea.

Prescription 7: Lotus leaf tea lowers blood pressure.

This statement comes from the fact that lotus leaf has the effects of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, diuresis, strengthening spleen and reducing swelling, while nuciferine has the effects of dilating blood vessels and lowering blood pressure. But regardless of the dose, the curative effect is still rogue. Lotus leaf is also a cold thing, and it is easy to have diarrhea if you eat too much.

Prescription 8: apocynum tea lowers blood pressure.

This statement comes from a health care product advertisement a long time ago. Studies have proved that apocynum venetum leaves do contain substances that can lower blood pressure, but in fact, the antihypertensive effect of apocynum venetum is not so exaggerated, and it is not reliable to use apocynum venetum alone to lower blood pressure.

The real way to lower blood pressure is a healthy diet, reasonable exercise, regular daily life and taking medicine on time!

Because rumors are beautiful and people are sick, who can feel better? At this time, I will tell you that so-and-so God can lower blood pressure, and your idea must have found a lifeline. Some people will naturally find business opportunities.

Who can really think of promoting Zhang Wuben where mung beans can cure all diseases?

For a long time, everyone wanted to use diet therapy to treat diseases, but in retrospect, shouldn't hospitals be opened?

In addition, it is difficult for a single medicinal material to achieve the so-called antihypertensive effect. You can't take out a bag of lotus leaves; You can't take out a dose of apocynum venetum. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to syndrome differentiation and treatment, which varies from person to person, and puts aside pathology to see pharmacology. This is swallowing dates.

And those who come out to speak for the so-called Chinese medicine, do you know Chinese medicine? What we need to defend is real Chinese medicine, not ignorance.

Chinese medicine is extensive and profound. Can it be a single corn stigma, a single apocynum venetum and a single lotus leaf?

You underestimate our national quintessence.
