The emergence of chronic diseases does not happen overnight, take the most high-incidence chronic disease in China, "hypertension", although it has genetic genes as the basis for the onset of the disease. However, the vast majority of patients with primary hypertension, genetic genes are only one part of it, and more patients have the disease, in fact, it is related to the accumulation of bad habits and injuries in daily life.
For example, the following four bad habits are quietly stealing your health and laying the foundation for high blood pressure, and it may be too late to stay away now:
1. Stay up late for a long time
Some people stay up late for money, some people stay up late purely for entertainment. But no matter what the reason, the harm caused by staying up late for a long time is not something you can bear.
It causes not only the next day's mental ills, but also affects the endocrine system, resulting in a large number of hormones such as epinephrine and catecholamines, and the sympathetic nervous system is in a state of excitement, which promotes an increase in myocardial contractility, an acceleration of heart rate, a sudden increase in peripheral vasoconstriction resistance, and thus an increase in blood pressure. People who stay up late for a long time have a higher chance of suffering from high blood pressure than those with normal sleep patterns;
2. Heavy taste
WHO recommends that the daily intake of sodium salt in adults should be less than 5-6 grams, but the average daily intake of sodium salt per adult in China has reached about 13 grams, far exceeding the standard of health.
Long-term consumption of foods containing various condiments, high-salt foods, and pickled foods will cause the sodium ion content in the body to exceed the standard. Excessive accumulation of sodium ions in the body will develop into water and sodium retention, increased blood volume, imbalance of plasma osmolality, and hypertension will occur;
3. Smoking
In the process of burning each cigarette, nearly 4,000 different chemicals will be released, which has reached billions of particles, of which nicotine, carbon monoxide, tar, benzopyrene, nitrosamines, etc. are all highly active carcinogens, which are the most fundamental factors that promote lung cancer.
Not only that, long-term large-scale smoking can promote the secretion of various angiotensins, cause damage to the endothelium of arterial vessels, and carbon monoxide will also weaken the ability to carry oxygen in the blood, thereby increasing the possibility of hypertension in the later stage;
4. Alcoholism
Among the many causes of high blood pressure, long-term alcoholism is one of them. Because both ethanol and the metabolite acetaldehyde are toxic substances, both have the effect of dilating blood vessels and increasing the heart's pumping.
It seems that vasodilation reduces blood pressure, but this effect is actually very short-lived, and then it will activate the neurosympathetic system, resulting in a large release of epinephrine and angiotensin, and when acetaldehyde is metabolized, blood pressure will gradually rise. With this repetition, the chance of developing high blood pressure increases.
Written in the end: Primary hypertension, although it has been inherited as a basis, but the day after tomorrow's various bad living and eating habits, and even emotions, can become the driving force behind hypertension.
Therefore, when we cannot change the objective fact of the existence of genetic genes, we can only adjust through life and diet, and it is necessary to stay away from the above four bad habits.
