Three kinds of foods that should not be eaten more.
Salt is an essential condiment in life. Proper amount of edible salt can maintain osmotic pressure inside and outside cells, participate in acid-base balance in human body, and chloride ion also participates in the formation of gastric acid. But for patients with hypertension, salt should be moderate. Because sodium ions in it will increase the resistance of blood vessels, leading to an increase in blood pressure. In our daily diet, besides salt, other foods also contain a lot of sodium ions, so patients with hypertension should not eat more salt and control it within 2-5 grams per day. Sodium ions will increase the power of blood vessels, leading to an increase in blood pressure.
High cholesterol food Modern "three high" diseases rarely occur alone, but most of them happen together. High cholesterol food is not suitable for people with hyperlipidemia, nor for patients with hypertension. On the one hand, foods with high cholesterol can induce hyperlipidemia, on the other hand, cholesterol can cause thickening of blood vessel wall and decrease of blood vessel elasticity, which is more likely to aggravate hypertension, and atherosclerosis and blood vessel rupture may also occur. Therefore, foods with high cholesterol should not be eaten by healthy people or patients with hypertension. Foods with high cholesterol in life include pig brain and pig liver.
Spicy food spicy food has a certain stimulating effect, which can easily lead to high congestion of gastrointestinal tract and accelerate peristalsis, which is easy to cause acute myocardial infarction for patients with hypertension. In addition, spicy food will stimulate the brain to produce exciting endorphins, which will easily raise blood pressure. However, spicy food is hot in Chinese medicine and has the function of promoting qi and blood circulation. Hypertensive patients are prone to fever, and eating spicy food will aggravate hot flashes and other phenomena.
2. Three actions you can't do
Holding one's breath in patients with hypertension will lead to an increase in chest and abdomen pressure, causing systemic vasoconstriction, increasing blood flow resistance and raising blood pressure.
The function of heart reserve blood is poor in hypertensive patients who exercise too fast, and the function of regulating blood flow by cerebral vessels is also declining. Once they move too fast, it will easily lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain and the phenomenon of upright syncope.
Large-scale movements here generally refer to actions such as bending and bowing. Hypertension patients have different degrees of atherosclerosis and poor cerebrovascular elasticity. When there is a large bending, bowing and other actions, blood pressure will flow into the brain in large quantities, which will easily increase the blood vessel pressure and make the blood vessel wall tense, leading to dizziness, headache and even cerebral hemorrhage.
3. Three Habits You Can't Have
Smoking can also cause high blood pressure. After smoking, people's heart rate will increase by 5-20 times, and their blood pressure will also rise. Nicotine in tobacco can make adrenaline release catecholamine in large quantities, and arteriole contraction can lead to high blood pressure.
Drinking alcohol has two sides to people. High concentration of alcohol will lead to arteriosclerosis and aggravate high blood pressure. Moreover, alcohol is a spicy substance, which will also stimulate the gastrointestinal tract.
Hypertension staying up late is getting younger and younger, which is closely related to work stress, lack of sleep and mental stress.
In the case of long-term insomnia and high blood pressure, the cortical excitation inhibition process of the brain is easy to be unbalanced, causing arteriole spasm and increasing peripheral resistance, thus causing high blood pressure. For patients with hypertension, if they are in the above environment for a long time, their blood pressure is more likely to rise and endanger their lives.
