Hypertension patients should nourish yin and prevent dryness in autumn.
In autumn, the yang gradually disappears, the yin gradually grows, and the climate changes from hot to cold, which is the transitional stage of "Yang disappears and Yin grows". "Su Wen Si Qi Diao Ling" said, "Autumn and March are calm, the weather is urgent and the weather is cool. Early to bed and early to rise, happiness is with the chicken. Calm the mind, slow down the autumn punishment, converge the air, calm the autumn qi and clear the lung qi. This autumn breath should be the way to raise income. " It is pointed out that autumn is full of vitality, everything in nature is clear, the metabolism of human body changes from prosperity to decline, and the attitude is restrained and implicit, so it is appropriate to nourish qi and accumulate qi. Autumn qi governs dryness, which is most likely to damage body fluids. It is advisable to nourish yin and produce body fluid to prevent dryness. Therefore, the diet of patients with hypertension should be balanced and supplemented, and fruit can be eaten to prevent dryness in autumn. As stated in "Eating rice is about to go": "Autumn is dry, it is appropriate to eat hemp to moisten it."
Keep your lungs in autumn.
The lungs correspond to autumn, and the lungs are the most abundant in gold, and their restrictive and convergent functions are the most vigorous. The lungs are filled with moisture to resist the invasion of dryness and evil. At the same time, the weather is hot and cold in autumn, and the cold and dry air in autumn can easily hurt the lungs. Lung belongs to gold, kidney belongs to water, and gold gives birth to water, and mother and son are born together. If the lung gold is damaged, the mother gets sick and the children are affected, resulting in insufficient kidney water, and then the water does not contain wood, and the liver yang is hyperactive; Kidney deficiency can also lead to lung qi deficiency, liver wood deficiency and dizziness. Use lung qi in autumn. Therefore, the method of keeping in good health for patients with hypertension in autumn is to nourish the lungs. Traditional Chinese medicine can choose products that nourish yin and moisten dryness instead of tea, such as Adenophora adenophora, Ophiopogon japonicus, Polygonatum odoratum, Dendrobium nobile and so on.
Avoid blind tonic in autumn health care.
Patients with hypertension should make supplements according to their own characteristics, and choose some foods with rich nutrition and antihypertensive effect, such as yam, lotus seeds, tremella, celery, oats and lilies. This will help to strengthen people's physique. Meat should eat more aquatic products such as fish and shrimp and poultry such as chickens and ducks (white meat), and eat less red meat such as pigs, beef and mutton.
Eat more foods that moisten dryness and lower blood pressure, such as vegetables and fruits. You can eat more melon, radish, carrot, tomato, eggplant, potato, lotus root, onion, green leafy vegetables, kelp, mushrooms, fungus, kiwi fruit, grapefruit, hawthorn, apple, banana, pear, orange and so on. These foods are rich in potassium ions, which can resist the effect of sodium ions on hypertension. At the same time,
Diet should be arranged in small quantities and multiple meals to avoid overeating.
Patients with hypertension are usually obese and must eat low-calorie food. Daily staple food 150 ~ 250g, with animal protein and plant protein accounting for 50% and 50% respectively. Edible oil should contain vitamin e and linoleic acid; There is no candy.
Fish, shrimp, poultry and bean products with high protein and low fat can be properly selected to avoid overeating greasy diet, in which unsaturated fatty acids and soybean phospholipids are beneficial to health preservation and blood pressure reduction.
Control the amount of salt. Patients with hypertension, including salt and monosodium glutamate, should be controlled within 5 grams every day.
As the saying goes: medicine is better than food, and the diet of elderly hypertensive patients should be light and nutritious. Early patients can choose dietotherapy, balance yin and yang and harmonize qi and blood while eating reasonably.
Stay cheerful and optimistic in autumn.
In autumn, due to continuous rain, withered vegetation and climate change, it is easy to produce introverted depression and "sad autumn" mood. This kind of bad mood will cause the dysfunction of zang-fu organs and have a bad influence on the human body. Therefore, in autumn, we should pay attention to regulating emotions, avoiding bad stimulation and stabilizing emotions. You can take part in physical exercise, distract your attention, cultivate good habits such as raising flowers and fish, cultivate hobbies such as music, dance and calligraphy, and nourish your temperament.
It is important to keep warm and cold in autumn.
"Autumn freezing" is extremely unfavorable to patients with hypertension. This is because the temperature drop makes the patient's blood pressure rise due to vasoconstriction, which is easy to induce angina pectoris, myocardial infarction and stroke. Especially the elderly patients. You can do the following:
1, don't leave the bedding immediately after waking up, you can get up after moving in the bedding.
2. Brush your teeth and wash your face with warm water.
Wear warm clothes when going to the toilet, and put a toilet in the bedroom when going to the toilet at night.
Wear more clothes when going out, and wear scarves, gloves and hats when necessary.
5, waiting for the bus outside can be in place.
6. When taking a bath, wait until the temperature of the bathroom rises before taking a bath.
Patients with hypertension should pay more attention to autumn and should not take it lightly.
