5, the principle of hypertension prevention
1. Reduce fatigue
Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases often occur in the morning, one of the reasons is that before 1 1 am, people's blood pressure is at least 5 mm higher than other times. In order to avoid fatigue, try to attend as few tiring parties as possible. After work every day, tidy up the study or office to avoid seeing the chaotic workplace the next morning, which will affect your mood and lead to an increase in blood pressure.
Drink less coffee
Studies have shown that if you drink two cups of coffee a day, your blood pressure will rise by 23 mm Hg, because caffeine will constrict blood vessels, leading to an increase in blood pressure.
Have a small meal
Elderly patients with hypertension should generally have a light dinner and should not eat too much. It is advisable to eat digestible food with some soup for dinner. Don't be afraid to drink water for fear of peeing at night. Insufficient water intake will thicken blood at night and promote thrombosis.
Eat more garlic.
Eating 23 cloves of garlic every day is the best simple way to lower blood pressure. A survey of a group of 4 15 people showed that the average blood pressure decreased 15 mm Hg after eating 600900 mg garlic paste.
5. Do more aerobic exercise
During aerobic exercise, the heart rate and breathing are accelerated, the body's metabolic level is improved, and the demand for oxygen is increased. Although aerobic exercise has little effect on the blood pressure of normal people, it has a great influence on the blood pressure of hypertensive patients. Research shows that proper aerobic exercise every day can reduce systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure by 1 1 mm Hg and 6 mm Hg respectively, and can also reduce weight, blood lipid and control diabetes. Weight control can also promote blood pressure drop, thus entering a virtuous circle and comprehensively improving health. The ways of aerobic exercise include walking, jogging, Tai Ji Chuan and swimming.

Bananas and yogurt are rich in mineral potassium, which helps to control blood pressure. A follow-up study of 2600 people showed that eating foods containing 1 g of potassium within 6 days, such as a potato, a big banana and 226 g of yogurt, can reduce blood pressure by 10 mm Hg after 5 weeks.
7. Drink more orange juice
Orange juice is rich in vitamin C. British medical workers tested the blood of 64 1 adult and found that the higher the vitamin C content in the blood, the lower the arterial blood pressure. These researchers believe that vitamin C helps to dilate blood vessels. Taking 60 mg of vitamin C tablets every day, or eating more sour fruits such as vegetables, peppers and lemons can also have the same effect.
