According to research, a quarter of adults in the country currently have high blood pressure, which is no longer the preserve of the elderly, but more and more young people. High blood pressure does not cause much harm to the human body, but a series of complications it causes can endanger human life.
High blood pressure is a kind of eating out of the "disease of wealth", when plagued by high blood pressure is the impact on the body can not be ignored, in addition to the use of drug treatment, but also from the diet to strictly control, but everyone is not familiar with this knowledge, you may wish to listen to the advice of Academician Chen Keji.
01
Can a vegetarian diet really prevent high blood pressure? Listen to what Elder Chen has to say
Academician Chen Keji was born in 1930, is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has been studying blood vessels for 60 years, for hypertension, Academician Chen Keji has his own unique opinions.
Always eating a lot of meat or foods with high salt content does increase the risk of high blood pressure, but Chen Lao believes that eating vegetarian food can not effectively prevent high blood pressure.
In order to prove this point, in 1963, Chen Lao also specially did related research, when he selected local temple monks and nuns, these participants have been eating vegetarian food for more than 14 years.
After years of investigation and research, nuns and monks who often eat vegetarians, people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as hypertension, and even endogenous lipid metabolism disorders, from a side point of view, people with high blood pressure can not blindly eat vegetarian, if only vegetarian for a long time, it is not good for the stability of blood pressure.
02
After studying blood vessels for more than 60 years, the 91-year-old academician reminded: In addition to salt for high blood pressure, "3 elements" should also be eaten less
1. Chili peppers
Eating spicy food will activate the patient's sympathetic nerve, sympathetic nerve excitement, once sympathetic nerve excitement occurs, it will lead to vasoconstriction and increased blood pressure.
Not only that, most of the patients with hypertension in the middle and old age need long-term oral aspirin, and aspirin enteric-coated tablets will cause irritation to the stomach, if you eat spicy food during the drug at the same time will aggravate digestive tract irritation, and even induce gastric ulcers.
2. Grapefruit
Grapefruit is sweet and juicy and has always been loved by people. However, grapefruit contains ingredients that can affect the breakdown of drugs, and if you take grapefruit while taking antihypertensive drugs, it will make the effectiveness of antihypertensive drugs ineffective. It will also cause abnormal blood pressure due to the ingredients in grapefruit, which can easily cause dizziness, dizziness and other discomfort.
So if you are taking nifedipine, verapamil, felodipine antihypertensive drugs, do not eat grapefruit, grapefruit juice and other grapefruit foods. Similarly, if you are taking drugs that control heart rate such as amiodarone, or atorvastatin lipid-lowering drugs, do not eat grapefruit.
3. Garlic seedlings
Garlic seedlings belong to a kind of irritating food, and when eating, you can clearly feel a slight spicy, similar foods to garlic seedlings are leeks, garlic, peppers and so on.
One of the characteristics of this type of food is that it contains capsaicin, which can stimulate our central nervous system, make it in a state of agitation, and then cause the capillaries to converge abnormally. Causes blood pressure fluctuations and cannot maintain a stable state, so everyone must pay attention to the fact that such foods with capsaicin should be eaten less.
03
If you want to control blood pressure and protect the health of blood vessels, you must usually do these 3 points
1. Exercise reasonably
In order to effectively control high blood pressure, people need to lower blood pressure through reasonable exercise in life. With the help of exercise, the person's blood vessels will expand at this time, which can effectively reduce the lateral pressure of blood on blood vessels and help stabilize the condition of hypertension.
Therefore, people with symptoms of hypertension in their lives need to control their blood pressure in time through reasonable exercise, so as to avoid the further development of hypertension.
2. Stick to taking medicine
Patients with high blood pressure must go to the corresponding specialist clinic for medical examination in time, and also take antihypertensive drugs regularly under the guidance of doctors to control blood pressure and prevent complications. During the process of taking the drug, it is not allowed to stop the drug or increase or decrease the dose without authorization.
In addition, alcohol should also be avoided in the process of treating high blood pressure so as not to affect the treatment effect. And during the period of taking the drug, you should also regularly measure your blood pressure to grasp the changes in your blood pressure in time. If abnormal blood pressure is found, be sure to go to the corresponding outpatient clinic of the hospital in time to check whether the treatment plan needs to be adjusted.
3. Control your emotions
Many people already have high blood pressure that continues to develop, but often have large mood swings, negative emotions, personal mentality is not maintained well, the disease will continue to develop, which is why many people's high blood pressure worsens.
If antihypertensive drugs are used to treat the disease, but the individual's mood is not well stabilized, the amount of adrenaline secreted will fluctuate. Therefore, in the process of stable control of blood pressure, we should pay attention to emotional control, promote health by maintaining a good attitude, and also keep blood pressure normal after emotional stability.

Extension – Is high blood pressure inherited?
High blood pressure is hereditary, but it is not a genetic disorder.
High blood pressure is hereditary does not mean that it will be inherited, there is a certain chance of inheritance, and high blood pressure is related to many factors such as its own genes, living environment, eating habits, etc.
Because hypertension has an obvious family history, if both parents have hypertension, the probability of the disease in children can be increased, and clinically about 60% of hypertensive patients have a family history of hypertension.
Therefore, people with high blood pressure are recommended to pay attention to lifestyle from an early age, such as light diet, reduce salt intake, eat more vegetables and fruits, eat less animal meat, offal, fatty meat, etc.; Adhere to regular exercise, such as exercising 5 times a week, each time aerobic exercise for more than half an hour, can help control blood pressure; Avoid bad lifestyles such as smoking and heavy drinking.
