High blood pressure is a common chronic disease that can develop gradually, with even some complications. Most people think that hypertension is an exclusive disease for the elderly, but in fact, many young people now suffer from hypertension as well.
According to the latest survey, the number of hypertension patients in China is gradually increasing, and the total number of patients has reached 300 million, and about one in five people suffer from hypertension. Earlier, everyone judged that the blood pressure was 120 80mmHg, but now there is a gap between age and diet groups, and the standard for judging blood pressure has also changed dramatically, so let's find out together. 
In general, men have more people with high blood pressure than women. However, the incidence of postmenopausal in women is almost the same as in men. The results showed that the incidence of hypertension in patients with high educational background was relatively low, higher in rural areas than in urban areas, higher in males than females, and the overall prevalence of hypertension in residents over 35 years old was 304%。
In fact, there is no significant difference in the prevalence of hypertension between men and women. Males are slightly higher than females when they are young, and females are slightly higher than males in old age. Adolescent females have an estrogen-protective effect and have a lower incidence of hypertension and ischemic cerebrovascular disease.
Some scientists have questioned the new blood pressure criteria, arguing that lowering the definition of normal blood pressure to 110-70 mmHg may lead to overdiagnosis and over-diagnosis. Therefore, they recommend that the characteristics of different individuals be taken into account when developing new blood pressure standards and that over-intervention should be avoided.
However, the new blood pressure standard does not mean that the original 120 80 is no longer important, it is still a reference value for cardiovascular health, and this adjustment is to better adapt to the health status of different individuals, but we should still be vigilant, check our blood pressure regularly, and follow the doctor's advice.
1.High-salt foods
The sodium content in this kind of food is very high, and many elderly people habitually add a lot of salt to the dishes, and always feel that the food has no taste, especially the elderly who are used to eating heavy dishes, and the taste of the dish is slightly lighter, so they can't eat.
Long-term intake of so much salt is very bad for the body, which greatly increases the burden on the kidneys and heart, and also attracts high blood pressure.
Such foods also include sausages, salted meats and other pickled foods. If you accidentally consume too much sodium salt, you can drink more water and lower blood pressure by excreting more sodium in urine.
2.High-fat foods
High-fat foods can also increase blood cholesterol and triglycerides, which can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Some high-fat foods include fried foods, fast food, pastries, etc. Both saturated fats and trans fats in these foods can negatively affect cardiovascular health.
3.Organ meats
Like some animal offal, although it has a nourishing effect, it can replenish iron for the body and prevent the occurrence of iron deficiency anemia, but it is not suitable for patients with high blood pressure.
Because the cholesterol content in it is relatively high, it will also affect the normal blood pressure level and cause damage to the blood vessels, so it is recommended that you remove the table as soon as possible to help blood pressure obediently. 
4.Brightly colored and delicious drinks
Many people prepare drinks at home, with a variety of flavors, and they are all in large bottles, which can be used to entertain guests if they enjoy it.
Developing high blood pressure at a young age is partly due to genetic factors, and partly it is inseparable from liking to drink beverages. It not only affects blood sugar metabolism, but also has an impact on blood pressure and blood lipids.
1.Perform exercises
In modern society, our entire life and work status has changed, a lot of work is done with the brain rather than force, and all kinds of traffic appear in people's lives, and there are fewer opportunities for exercise.
In daily life, patients with high blood pressure can jog and brisk walk to exercise their bodies properly, jogging and brisk walking are beneficial to the patient's breathing and lung exercises, which can help the heart use oxygen more efficiently.
2.Eat in moderation
To lower blood pressure, you must eat a moderate and balanced diet. Try to be plant-based, eat more fruits and vegetables, and less meat, dairy products and eggs. Eat no meat at all at least one of these meals a day and eat mainly fruits and vegetables.
For example, eat a salad of leafy greens for lunch with a variety of lettuce and seeds, such as carrots, cucumbers, celery and sunflower seeds. Eat lean meats and fish, such as skinless chicken or salmon. Choose low-fat dairy products.
3.Improves sleep
Elevated blood pressure and the risk of cardiovascular disease are related to the quality and duration of sleep in the elderly. Studies have found that insomnia patients with short sleep duration are more likely to develop high blood pressure. This is particularly severe in older people, with an incidence of up to 56%.
Older people have relatively weak nerves, and it is difficult to have a good quality of sleep. If you want to improve the environment, keep the bedroom quiet, clean, warm, comfortable, dry and humid, and it is easier for the elderly to fall asleep in such an environment. Methods such as skipping tea at night and getting rid of anxiety and irritability are also effective. 
4.Control your weight
Obesity is closely related to the occurrence of hypertension, and lowering body weight is conducive to controlling hypertension. Studies have shown that if the average weight is reduced by 10-20 pounds, the systolic blood pressure of the human body can be reduced by 5-20 mmHg.
Therefore, it is advisable to control the body mass index of people with high blood pressure below 24. Don't blindly pursue fast weight loss, it should be scientific, and the methods boil down to nothing more than two ways: keep your mouth shut and control your total calorie intake; Step out and increase your workout.
5.Maintain a good mood
Bad mood can also raise blood pressure, and when we are exposed to bad stimuli, neuropsychiatric factors can cause disturbances in the activity of higher nerves, so that the central nervous system response that regulates blood pressure is enhanced. As a result, the secretion of active substances in blood vessels such as catecholamines in the blood increases, resulting in an increase in blood pressure.
Therefore, no matter what time it is, we must maintain an optimistic and positive attitude and maintain a good mood, after all, great joy and sorrow will cause harm to the human body.
Hypertension can be said to be a high-incidence disease in contemporary society, and it is also an important cause of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
At present, there is no clinical method to find its best method, but its blood pressure can be controlled by drugs and other methods. In the final analysis, if you want to avoid the harm of high blood pressure to the human body, prevention is the first priority.
