There are many hypertensive patients often because after drinking alcohol, leading to increased blood pressure, local embolism, but also triggered cardiovascular disease.
4、More vitamins and minerals
High blood pressure is a typical disease of the metabolic system, so the best diet to promote the metabolism of the diet, many fruits and vegetables are rich in a large number of vitamins and minerals, if more intake can effectively promote metabolism. And eating more fruits and vegetables can also help the body to self-regulate, and will not be prone to the problem of long-term high blood pressure.
People with high blood pressure can pay more attention to calorie and salt control. These are often the main factors that cause cardiovascular disease attacks, in addition to the need to abstain from alcohol, hypertensive patients drinking alcohol is a great danger, sometimes even because of the influence of alcohol can lead to acute cardiovascular disease attacks, not conducive to the control and treatment of the condition.
