What should I do about hypertension? Hypertension is now very common, but there is no need to be nervous when encountering high blood pressure, as it is a disorder in the regulation of our advanced central system. What should I do if I have high blood pressure?

What are the causes of hypertension? What types are there?

There are many reasons for elevated blood pressure, which can generally be divided into two categories. One type is called "secondary hypertension", for example, when suffering from acute nephritis, blood pressure may increase, but as the acute nephritis recovers, blood pressure does not increase anymore. Someone with endocrine gland tumors, such as pheochromocytoma, may experience elevated blood pressure; By surgically removing the tumor, blood pressure returns to normal. This type of 'secondary hypertension' is rare, accounting for about 5% of the total number of hypertension cases. Another type of hypertension is called "primary hypertension", which accounts for over 95% of hypertensive patients. Its etiology is complex and closely related to genetics. It is the result of the interaction between genetic factors and various acquired factors, and there is currently no cure for it.

What should I do about hypertension? Regulating through a reasonable diet

1. Firstly, it is necessary to control calorie intake and promote the consumption of complex sugars such as starch and corn. Eat less glucose, fructose, and sucrose, as these monosaccharides can easily lead to an increase in blood lipids, which is not conducive to hypertension.

2. Control the intake of fat, a large amount of fat may cause a large amount of deposition in the blood vessel wall, leading to the aggravation of high blood pressure. When cooking, choose vegetable oil instead of animal oil, and eat more sea fish.

3. Moderate intake of protein, generally 1 gram per kilogram of body weight per day, is beneficial for lowering blood pressure.

What should I do about hypertension? Appropriate exercise regulation

Research shows that doing more exercise can effectively lower blood pressure. You can do more aerobic exercise, such as walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, etc. It is important to note that you should not exercise when you are hungry or have just finished eating. When exercising, you need to slowly stop and not suddenly stop, as it will have a negative impact on blood pressure. If you experience discomfort during exercise, you need to stop immediately, and seek medical attention immediately for severe cases
