Health Tips
Drink the right water and your blood pressure is stable
Can drinking water affect blood pressure? Yes, people with high blood pressure also have an impact on their health.
People with high blood pressure should not drink large amounts of water at one time, as this can cause a sudden increase in blood volume, which can cause blood pressure to fluctuate. Therefore, patients with high blood pressure should drink a small amount of water several times, and the amount of water should be controlled at about 200 ml each time, and the drinking time should be evenly distributed throughout the day.
Drinking water in the morning helps to replenish the water lost during the night and promote metabolism, drinking water in the morning and afternoon can maintain the body's water balance and maintain normal physiological functions, and drinking water before going to bed can help prevent blood pressure fluctuations caused by lack of water at night. However, it should be noted that patients with high blood pressure should avoid drinking a lot of water half an hour before bedtime and when waking up in the middle of the night, so as not to affect sleep due to frequent nocturia.
Patients with high blood pressure should avoid drinking cold water immediately after strenuous exercise or heavy sweating to avoid irritation of blood vessels.
