In order to control hypertension well, patients must first pass professional examination to diagnose their detailed condition, and then carry out routine daily treatment. If hypertension is diagnosed, patients should first consider some non-medical methods for conditioning, including diet, drinking tea, fitness and other possible methods. Fitness therapy for patients with hypertension can consider jogging, walking, horseback riding or Tai Ji Chuan, instead of too intense anaerobic fitness exercise. Continuous exercise can significantly lower blood pressure.
The diet therapy for patients with hypertension is mainly to control the intake of sodium, and we should also pay attention to the drinks and foods that supplement potassium and calcium. Patients with hypertension need to control their diet, not overeating, and try to keep their weight close to the standard. With weight loss, blood pressure indicators will also decrease. At the same time, patients need a good attitude and good mood in treatment. If the pressure is too high, the mental burden will be heavy, whether it is sadness, joy or lack of sleep, it may lead to a sudden increase in blood pressure, which greatly reduces the effect of drugs.
To sum up, the importance of psychotherapy must be made clear when food and medicine are given to patients with hypertension. Drugs are commonly used to treat hypertension. Of course, there are other treatments, such as keeping good habits in daily life, especially paying attention to diet. Especially for the elderly, drinking must be moderate, which is the most crucial point.
