Introduction: Hypertension refers to a chronic disease caused by the pressure on the blood vessel wall when the blood flows in the blood vessels exceeds the normal level, and it is also one of the most common cardiovascular diseases.
Long-term high, will lead to brain cataplexy, coronary heart disease, heart failure and other diseases.
In recent years, with the improvement of living standards, high blood pressure has become the most common metabolic disease, and high blood lipids and high blood sugar are called "three highs".
Causes of hypertension
At present, the cause of hypertension is not clear, and it varies according to different types and causes, which are probably related to genetic factors, age and bad living habits.
- Genetic factors
If both parents have no hypertension, one parent has hypertension, or both parents have hypertension, the incidence of hypertension in their children is 3%, 28% and 46%, respectively.
- Age
The incidence of hypertension is significantly related to age, and studies have shown that the lowest prevalence in the 18-24-year-old group was 9.7%, 26.7% in the 35-44-year-old group, 42.1% in the 45-54-year-old group, 57.1% in the 55-64-year-old group, 68.6% in the 65-74-year-old group, and 72.8% in the group over 75 years old.
- Excessive intake of sodium salts
Excessive sodium salt intake can lead to swelling of vascular smooth muscles, thinning of the lumen, increased peripheral vascular resistance, and increased blood volume, increasing cardiac load and renal burden, further causing renal sodium drainage disorders, increased volume load, resulting in increased blood pressure.
- Hyperglycemia
The damage of high blood sugar to the arterial lining leads to thickening of the blood vessel wall, decreased elasticity, increased resistance, and the kidney damage caused by kidney damage makes the kidneys' function to regulate blood pressure decrease, which leads to the occurrence of hypertension.
- High blood lipids
High blood lipids lead to an increase in oxygen intake, which increases the burden on the heart, leading to peripheral resistance and increased blood volume, resulting in a sustained increase in blood pressure.
- Bad living habits
Smoking, alcoholism, staying up late is the most common bad habit in life, long-term smoking, alcoholism will damage the vascular endothelium, promote oxidative stress and activate the inflammatory response, has led to thickening of the lining of the vascular wall, poor vascular elasticity, induce hypertension.
In addition, according to research, staying up late frequently reduces metabolic capacity and increases prevalence.
Zhong Nanshan has suffered from high blood pressure for more than 20 years and has been relatively stable, how did he do it? Or worth learning
Speaking of Academician Zhong Nanshan, I believe that everyone is not unfamiliar? In his 80s, he has been working on the frontline of the fight against the epidemic and has made outstanding contributions to the fight against the epidemic.
Academician Zhong Nanshan, who looks strong and healthy, is actually a hypertensive patient, he mentioned in the interview: he has more than 20 years of hypertension history, the first onset was in 2003 when the SARS outbreak, due to day and night work, resulting in physical overdraft, suffered from myocardial infarction, fortunately in time for cardiac stent surgery, saved lives.
After suffering from hypertension, Academician Zhong Nanshan changed his bad behavior from daily life and eating habits, and now his blood pressure has stabilized.
- Early intervention
Hypertension is a chronic disease, early symptoms are not obvious, but if you want to stabilize blood pressure, you must do early intervention, early detection, early treatment, in the face of the body's alarm do not ignore.
If there is often dizziness and numbness, numbness in the limbs, etc., and it lasts for a long time, there is no relief, it is very tight, it is likely to be related to the increase in blood pressure, do not take it as ordinary fatigue, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time for examination.
- Diet
Academician Zhong Nanshan pays special attention to his diet after the illness, it is based on a light diet, usually eat more plant-based ingredients, control the amount of rice at about seven points full, but also pay attention to the intake of nutrients, eggs, milk and other high-protein foods can improve the body's resistance.
- Keep exercising
Exercise has been integrated into the life of Academician Zhong Nanshan, whether it is before or after the illness, Academician Zhong Nanshan often exercises, especially during the school period, the running performance of sports projects is very prominent.
As the saying goes: exercise is the best care product. This sentence got the best experiment from Academician Zhong Nanshan, and decades have passed, and his physical quality is still not that of a young man.
- Emotional management
The healthy half is mental and the other half is disease, so don't be a prisoner of emotions, but be the master of emotions.
After suffering from hypertensive disease, do not treat it with a negative attitude, the so-called contentment is always happy, emotional fluctuations are too large to release angiotensin to cause vasoconstriction, causing blood pressure to rise.
-----------------
Academician Zhong Nanshan often stayed up late to work during the SARS period to induce high blood pressure, after the illness, he changed his bad living habits, insisted on sleeping at about 11 o'clock every night, controlled the amount of sleep at about 7:5 to 8 hours, and insisted on 20 minutes of nap every day.
- There is a standard way to take drugs
Patients should be in accordance with the doctor's instructions, reasonable use of drugs, can not arbitrarily reduce the amount of drugs or blindly stop the drug plus drugs, after entering the body, to promote blood circulation as the fundamental, thereby reducing the probability of myocardial infarction, coronary artery sclerosis and other diseases.
