Hypertension is a common chronic disease with an increasing incidence worldwide. With the aging of the population, poor living habits and environmental pollution, the incidence of hypertension is also increasing year by year.
According to the World Health Organization, there are more than 1 billion people with hypertension in the world, and 17 million people die from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases caused by hypertension every year.
In China, the incidence of hypertension is also very high, according to statistics, there are more than 300 million hypertension patients in China, and the number of new cases is as high as more than 3 million every year.
There are many causes of hypertension, including genetics, age, gender, obesity, diet, lack of exercise, etc., the symptoms of hypertension vary from person to person, but common symptoms include headache, dizziness, palpitations, chest tightness, fatigue, etc.
Hypertension is very harmful to the human body, and if it is not diagnosed in time, it will lead to a variety of complications such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, kidney diseases, etc. Therefore, it is very important to prevent and ** high blood pressure.
In some people's minds, peanuts, as a high-fat, high-calorie food, are considered to be extremely bad for people with high blood pressure. However, in fact this view is not entirely correct.
The occurrence of hypertension is related to a variety of factors, including genetics, environment, lifestyle habits, etc. Food is just one of them, and not all foods have a significant effect on blood pressure.
As a food, the effect of peanuts on blood pressure needs to be considered in combination with intake and other lifestyle habits. Peanuts are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, protein, dietary fiber, and a variety of vitamins and minerals, which are important for human health.
Among them, unsaturated fatty acids help lower cholesterol and are beneficial for cardiovascular health; Protein and dietary fiber help to enhance satiety and control weight; Vitamins and minerals help maintain normal physiological functions.
Moderate consumption of peanuts does not cause negative health effects, but can provide the body with the nutrients it needs. For people with high blood pressure, it is even more important to control the sodium content of their diet.
If you can control your intake when eating peanuts, choose the right cooking method, maintain good lifestyle habits and monitor your blood pressure regularly, then peanuts will not become an "accelerator" of high blood pressure.
1 yellow
Yellow refers to animal organs that contain a lot of saturated fats, such as liver, kidneys, etc. Not only are they high in calories, but consuming too much can increase the amount of cholesterol and fat in the blood, leading to a rise in blood pressure.
2 white
White refers to salt and sugar. Excessive salt intake can increase the amount of sodium ions in the body, leading to water retention and increased blood pressure.
Too much sugar can lead to insulin resistance, which in turn leads to high blood pressure. For the sake of health, we should stay away from these "1 yellow and 2 white" and choose healthy foods such as vegetables, fruits and whole grains, which will not only help control weight, but also lower blood pressure and improve quality of life.
First of all, long-term hypertension can increase the burden on the heart, make the heart hypertrophied, and the heart chambers enlarge, which in turn causes cardiac insufficiency. At the same time, hypertension can also cause the formation of coronary atherosclerosis, leading to cardiovascular events such as myocardial ischemia and myocardial infarction.
Secondly, high blood pressure can cause damage to cerebral blood vessels, leading to cerebrovascular events such as cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage. Long-term hypertension will make the elasticity of cerebral blood vessels worse, increase fragility, and easily rupture or blockage, which can lead to serious consequences such as stroke.
In addition, high blood pressure can cause damage to the kidneys. Long-term hypertension will compress the renal blood vessels, resulting in renal ischemia and renal parenchymal atrophy, which in turn will lead to serious consequences such as renal insufficiency and uremia.
In addition, high blood pressure can also cause damage to the eyes, nervous system, etc. Long-term hypertension can cause retinal blood vessels to undergo lesions, leading to serious consequences such as vision loss and blindness. At the same time, high blood pressure can also cause neurological symptoms such as numbness, weakness or paralysis of the limbs.
1.Bananas: Bananas are a very potassium-rich fruit, containing about 350 mg of potassium per 100 grams of bananas.
2.Potatoes: Potatoes are also a high-potassium food, containing about 342 mg of potassium per 100 grams of potatoes.
3.Mushrooms: Mushrooms are a low-calorie, high-nutrient food that contains about 279 mg of potassium per 100 grams of mushrooms.
4.Seaweed: Seaweed is rich in iodine, potassium, magnesium and other trace elements, and contains about 179 mg of potassium per 100 grams of seaweed.
First of all, let's be clear: hypertension is a chronic disease that requires long-term**. This is because the formation and development of hypertension is a long-term process, and once diagnosed with hypertension, it means that the patient's blood pressure has continued to exceed the normal range, causing damage to the cardiovascular system.
However, whether or not you need to take blood pressure medication for the rest of your life is not a simple "yes" or "no" question. For most people, antihypertensive drugs are an effective means of controlling blood pressure.
By taking antihypertensive drugs, blood pressure can be lowered, the risk of cardiovascular events can be reduced, and thus the health of the body can be protected. However, this does not mean that every person with high blood pressure must take blood pressure medication for the rest of their lives.
In some cases, such as mild hypertension, transient hypertension, etc., the doctor may recommend that patients temporarily stop taking antihypertensive drugs and control blood pressure by changing lifestyle and dietary habits.
In addition, even if you need to take blood pressure medication for a long time, it does not mean that you cannot stop it. In some cases, such as when the condition is well controlled, or if the disease is severe, the doctor may recommend that the patient gradually reduce the amount of antihypertensive drugs or stop taking them.
