Everyone is familiar with hypertension, which is one of the common diseases of middle-aged and elderly people. If we do not pay attention to controlling blood pressure, it will easily lead to other complications, such as cerebral infarction, thrombosis and myocardial infarction. A large part of it is caused by not paying attention to maintaining healthy living habits. So, what should we pay attention to in daily life of hypertension? What should hypertensive patients do in autumn and winter to benefit their health? Generally speaking, patients with hypertension should pay attention to the following points.

1, be careful not to drink.

Because drinking alcohol will accelerate the heart rate, cause vasoconstriction, and lead to an increase in blood pressure. In addition, drinking alcohol will also promote the deposition of calcium salt and cholesterol on the blood vessel wall, thus accelerating arteriosclerosis. Excessive drinking may cause myocardial fat deposition, which may lead to hypertension, so patients with hypertension should not drink alcohol.

2, pay attention to cold and warm.

In life, patients with hypertension should pay attention to keep warm in winter to avoid catching a cold. Because the temperature drops in winter, the body can easily rise sharply because of the cold. Moreover, winter is the season of high blood pressure, and patients with high blood pressure should pay attention to cold and warmth in their daily lives.

3. Control your weight and exercise properly

Overweight and obesity are important causes of hypertension, and excessive calorie intake is the main cause of obesity. Therefore, controlling calorie intake and reducing body fat content can lower blood pressure. In addition, proper exercise is also an important measure to maintain the ideal weight. It is recommended that you exercise for more than half an hour every day.

In addition, patients with hypertension must pay attention to a light diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, and take medicine according to the doctor's advice on time. Life should also be regular, avoid staying up late and overworking, quit smoking and limit alcohol, and keep a good mood. Only by staying healthy can we stay away from high blood pressure.
