According to statistics, the prevalence rates of hypertension, dyslipidemia and diabetes are 25.2%, 40.4% and 9.7% among residents aged 65, 438+08 and above in China. Hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia, commonly known as three highs. Why are the three highs getting higher and higher? In my opinion, lack of vitality is the most fundamental pathogenesis. Nowadays, due to pressure, staying up late, super-processed diet, sedentary, environmental pollution and other factors, people's physical fitness generally declines and their vitality is generally insufficient.

Overtime brings not only promotion but also high blood pressure. A new study published in Hypertension, a journal of the American Heart Association, points out that with the increase of working hours, the risk of hypertension among office workers tends to increase? Overtime has two hazards, one is stagnation of liver qi; Secondly, it will lead to qi failure, whether it is liver depression or Yuan Qi deficiency, it will lead to the floating of deficiency fire, and it will also produce blood stasis and block the veins, which should be the reason for increasing the risk of hypertension.

Many people with high blood pressure have heard that if you have high blood pressure, you should take medicine for life. ? Modern medicine believes that high blood pressure can lead to stroke, so we must insist on taking medicine to stabilize blood pressure, so there will be no risk of stroke. However, from the analysis of traditional Chinese medicine, the essence of hypertension is lack of vitality, which leads to blood vessel blockage. If you just lower your blood pressure and don't replenish your vitality, it will always be a temporary solution. If you can strengthen the foundation and keep the blood flowing smoothly, you don't need to take medicine for life at all.

Experts believe that patients with moderate to severe essential hypertension need to take medicine for life. If you stop taking drugs at will, your blood pressure will rise again, which will not only harm the cardiovascular system, but also induce other dangerous complications? From the analysis of traditional Chinese medicine, hypertension is not a lifelong medication. If the blood pressure is stable and reduced through TCM treatment and active health care, should we continue to take antihypertensive western medicine? ! We should know that antihypertensive western medicine is only an index to control blood pressure.

Can hypertensive patients drink white wine?

Modern research has found that alcohol can raise blood pressure. In fact, drinking alcohol itself is a risk factor for hypertension. From the analysis of traditional Chinese medicine, although drinking has a certain effect of dredging meridians and qi and blood, heat consumes yang. On the one hand, drinking alcohol will lead to an increase in yang, internal heat, excessive internal heat and blood pressure; On the other hand, drinking will also consume yang, leading to yang deficiency. Therefore, patients with hypertension should avoid drinking alcohol.

How should hypertension be eaten?

Studies have found that fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds and a small amount of low-fat dairy products can help relieve blood pressure. From the analysis of traditional Chinese medicine, meat food is easy to disturb the fire, which will produce phlegm and lead to the floating of virtual fire. Vegetarian food can make people calm, and it is not easy to move when they get angry, which is conducive to relieving high blood pressure. In addition, hypertension originates from deficiency in the lower part and excess in the upper part, and salt enters the kidney and damages the kidney. Therefore, patients with hypertension had better eat more vegetables, less meat and less salt. Preference for frying and barbecue will lead to high body mass index, high blood pressure and high incidence of diabetes!

It is suggested that patients with hypertension, heart disease and tumor should avoid eating too salty. Salt enters the kidney and hurts the kidney. It can be seen in life that patients with hypertension often have a salty diet before they get sick, which leads to insufficient diet and rising virtual fire, thus resulting in hypertension. If you continue to eat too salty, you will increase the risk of stroke.

Peanut is a delicious food. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, peanuts also have medicinal value. Flat in nature and sweet in taste, it can moisten lung, harmonize stomach and tonify spleen, and is suitable for people with spleen and stomach weakness or lung deficiency. In addition, it is also suitable for people with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis, lactation deficiency, malnutrition, loss of appetite, etc.

Studies have found that people who keep exercising have a lower risk of hypertension, diabetes and cancer. Patients with hypertension must have regular check-ups. According to the theoretical analysis of traditional Chinese medicine, if we can replenish their vitality and dredge blood vessels, hypertension can be completely controlled.
