China is not only the country with the largest population base, but also the country with the most patients with hypertension!
Data survey shows that the number of hypertensive patients in China has reached nearly 270 million.
Hypertension is no longer confined to the elderly, with the continuous development of society, diet and life structure changes, hypertension is also gradually becoming younger, young and middle-aged people suffer from essential hypertension in clinical common occurrence!
What is more worrying is that more than half of the patients in China do not know they have hypertension due to the absence of obvious symptoms in the early stage of essential hypertension, while the awareness rate of adult hypertension over 18 years old is only about 46.9%!
The real harm of high blood pressure can result in multiple complications
The more improper control, no active treatment of patients, the more prone to various diseases, including cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease (cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction, coronary heart disease), kidney disease!
According to the available clinical data, the occurrence of essential hypertension is related to many factors, including genetic genes and age.
In addition, unhealthy diet can also contribute to high blood pressure.
If you don’t want high blood pressure to find you in the future, it’s still too late to stay away from these four foods:
- High in fat and calories
This is the highest for many young people, such as fried food, barbecue, cakes and desserts. Everyone has found that eating foods high in fat and calories can make you feel better.
But they do not have any benefit to health, because these foods will cause obesity, and at the same time lead to a large amount of fat around the peripheral blood vessels, which in turn increases the pressure of blood vessels, and the accumulation of excessive fat in the abdominal cavity, which will also easily lead to increased abdominal pressure and further increase blood pressure.
What’s more, obesity is one of the independent risk factors for high blood pressure. It’s ok to try these foods once in a while, but don’t overeat them.
Foods high in salt
“Salt” and the relation of hypertension, do not lie in salty, its composition is sodium chloride, can produce a large number of sodium ion again after entering organism, exceed kidney metabolization to go up when, can induce water and sodium retention, imbalance of plasma osmotic pressure, cause blood pressure to rise further subsequently.
In addition to the salt in cooking, other foods in daily life also contain excessive amounts of sodium, such as hanging noodles, instant noodles, pickled foods, processed meats, seasonings (chicken essence, oyster sauce, soy sauce, bean paste), etc.
- Too spicy
Capsicum has certain benefits to human body originally, it contains rich vitamin C, capsaicin.
However, excessive consumption of spicy food in normal times, especially for people with high blood pressure and a family history of hypertension, may lead to fluctuations in blood pressure.
As stimulating food can promote repeated dilation and contraction of blood vessels, leading to the secretion of a large number of stimulating hormones, and blood pressure control is not good, this is why patients with high blood pressure is advised to eat less spicy reasons.
4, drinking
Alcohol does temporarily dilate blood vessels and lower blood pressure, but the effect lasts only as long as the alcohol is not metabolized.
Alcohol can also directly cause damage to the lining of blood vessels, accelerating the formation of atherosclerosis. In patients with high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, plaque or microaneurysms, a single heavy drinking can cause a sudden onset of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease.
And for healthy people, long-term alcoholism can also be a breakthrough point for high blood pressure!
For this reason, it is recommended that we should eat a light, low-fat, low-oil, and nutritionally balanced diet.
In the process of cooking, try to keep the food original flavor, avoid adding too much seasoning.
At the same time, in peacetime should also limit alcohol and tobacco, active physical exercise. People with a family history of hypertension and obesity should also have their blood pressure measured regularly to avoid hypertension without knowing it.
