In modern society, hypertension has become a common disease, especially among young people, and its incidence is increasing year by year. However, many young hypertensive patients tend to ignore one problem in the process of ** - low blood pressure and high pressure. Hypotension is when the blood pressure is higher than the normal range (diastolic blood pressure), which may not have immediate and serious consequences, but can cause huge health risks in the long run. Therefore, it is important for young people with high blood pressure to break the following two habits.
Habit 1: Sedentary for long periods of time.
In modern society, many people are sedentary for long periods of time and lack exercise due to changes in work and lifestyle. For young people with high blood pressure, sitting for long periods of time not only leads to weight gain, but also increases the burden on the heart, which in turn increases blood pressure. In addition, sitting for a long time can also affect blood circulation, lead to endothelial damage to blood vessels, accelerate the process of arteriosclerosis, and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Therefore, young patients with hypertension should develop good exercise habits and do an appropriate amount of aerobic exercise every day, such as walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, etc. Exercise can not only lower blood pressure, but also enhance heart function, improve immunity, and prevent cardiovascular diseases. Patients are advised to do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity per week.
Habit 2: Poor eating habits.
Many young people with high blood pressure have unreasonable eating habits, such as high salt, high fat, high sugar, etc. These poor eating habits can lead to increased blood pressure and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, breaking these habits and maintaining a healthy diet is crucial for young people with high blood pressure.
First, limit your salt intake. A high-salt diet can lead to a high concentration of sodium ions in the body, causing an imbalance in water and sodium metabolism and increasing blood pressure. Patients are advised to consume no more than 6 grams of salt per day. Second, reduce your fat and sugar intake. A diet high in fat and sugar can lead to weight gain, increase the burden on the heart, and raise blood pressure. Patients are advised to consume more foods rich in unsaturated fatty acids, such as fish, nuts, etc., and reduce foods rich in saturated fatty acids, such as meat, dairy products, etc. In addition, it is also important to pay attention to the intake of sufficient dietary fiber, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, etc., to maintain intestinal health and lower blood pressure.
In addition to breaking the above two habits, young patients with high blood pressure should also maintain a good schedule and avoid staying up late; Quit smoking and limit alcohol to avoid undesirable stimuli; Monitor your blood pressure regularly to keep abreast of your blood pressure status; Under the guidance of a doctor, use drugs rationally to control blood pressure.
In conclusion, low blood pressure and high blood pressure pose a huge health risk to young hypertensive patients. The key to preventing and controlling low blood pressure is to get rid of sedentary and poor eating habits. By developing good lifestyle habits and maintaining a healthy diet, you can effectively lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. It is hoped that the majority of young hypertension patients can pay attention to it and escort their health.
