As an experienced doctor, I know the importance of drinking water for people with high blood pressure. Today, I would like to share with you some "secrets" about drinking water for patients with high blood pressure to help you better manage your blood pressure and stay healthy.
First, let's learn about high blood pressure. Hypertension, also known as hypertension, is a common cardiovascular disease in which blood pressure consistently exceeds the normal range of systolic blood pressure of 140 mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure of 90 mm Hg at rest. Long-term high blood pressure increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, such as myocardial infarction, stroke, etc. Therefore, patients with hypertension need to actively control their blood pressure to prevent complications.
So, how can patients with high blood pressure drink water scientifically in their daily life? Here I would like to highlight three important periods, and make sure you have water to drink.
The first period: after waking up in the morning.
After waking up in the morning, the human body loses more water after a night's sleep. At this time, drinking a glass of warm water can help replenish the water lost during the night, activate metabolism, and promote blood circulation. In addition, drinking warm water also cleanses the gastrointestinal tract and aids in bowel movements. For patients with high blood pressure, drinking water in the morning can effectively lower blood pressure and prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases.
Second session: 3 to 4 p.m.
Between 3 and 4 p.m. is the time of day when blood pressure is high. During this time period, drinking a glass of water can effectively lower blood pressure and reduce the burden on the heart. At the same time, drinking water can also improve concentration, relieve fatigue, and improve work efficiency.
Third period: 1 hour before bedtime at night.
Drinking a glass of warm water 1 hour before bedtime at night can help you sleep. The improvement of sleep quality helps to lower blood pressure and prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases. In addition, drinking water before bed can also prevent dehydration at night and maintain the body's water balance.
In addition to staying hydrated during the three important periods, people with high blood pressure should pay attention to the following in their daily life:
1.Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day to maintain your body's water balance.
2.Avoid drinks that are high in sugar and reduce sugar intake.
3.Avoid coffee and strong tea, as they contain caffeine and theophylline, which may cause an increase in blood pressure.
4.Eat plenty of vegetables and fruits in your diet, which are rich in vitamins and minerals and help lower blood pressure.
5.Monitor blood pressure regularly, detect abnormalities in time, and adjust the ** plan.
Here, I would like to share with you an ancient Chinese medicine prescription that helps people with high blood pressure. This ancient recipe is called "Schisandra Soup", and its main ingredients include Schisandra chinensis, chrysanthemum, hooked vine, eucommia, etc. Schisandra soup has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, calming the liver and latent yang, nourishing yin and reducing fire, and has a certain auxiliary effect on patients with high blood pressure. Of course, before using this ancient formula, it is best to consult a doctor and adjust the medication according to the individual's constitution and condition.
In conclusion, it is very important for people with high blood pressure to maintain adequate water intake in their daily lives. Make sure you have water to drink during the three important times in the morning, between 3 and 4 p.m., and 1 hour before bedtime. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the adjustment of diet and lifestyle habits in order to better control blood pressure and prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases.
