From hypertension 8 words: low salt, weight loss, decompression, limiting alcohol

Low salt, salt, endanger life "secret killer "

Salt has been gradually recognized by the world as "the secret killer ". In the developed western countries, was the salt into the tomb to life than harmful chemicals victims more. Western residents, has been gradually develop eating lettuce and vegetables; in table salt, eat when they sprinkle a little salt diet. In Japan, from the end of the Second World War ( in the early nineteen fifties ) hard days, until the end of twentieth Century, with the improvement of living conditions, people from eating dried salted fish to eat plenty of fresh vegetables, fruits, the average salt intake is 29 grams per person per day decreased to 10 grams to. The elderly " taste ", " light " young man, this diet habit change is Japanese hypertension incidence decreased year by year is one of the main reasons. It also significantly reduced stroke patients.

According to statistics, in the north of China, especially the northeast region, due to the cold climate, vegetable, fruit is less, the average per person per day to eat salt 12-18 g, while in the south it is low, resulting in northeast area male hypertension incidence than the southern Shanghai area, to about 1 times higher.

Have a look Chinese eating habits, breakfast porridge, steamed bread is often added all kinds of pickles ( or bean curd ), single block 4 cm square fermented bean curd is about 5 grams of salt, a plate of vegetables ( such as cabbage ) 4 grams of salt. So, every piece of bean curd already achieved who defined daily salt intake standard ( 4-6 g ). In addition, our country many people usually in cooking or boiling soup has put MSG habits, and 1 grams monosodium glutamate containing 0.5 grams of salt. A lot of vegetables such as spinach, bean sprouts, shrimp, seaweed, contain certain sodium salt.

In daily life, also eat high-salt foods, some people will be elevated blood pressure, some people blood pressure is not elevated, based on the study of more than 5000 people, among them in salt sensitive hypertensive patients was 30%, while in salt sensitive subjects up to 60%. These sensitive daily salt intake is not higher than in normal adults, just because they have inherited renal sodium excretion disorder, is easy to occur in vivo sodium retention, leading to the occurrence of hypertension.

So, why universal salt restriction? Because salt can make many people the occurrence of hypertension, but also directly damage throughout the body of the vessel wall, cause hardening of the arteries, leading to myocardial infarction or renal function decline.

For example, an elderly patient presented to our hospital to see a doctor, he said he used a variety of drugs, blood pressure is not falling down. I see the medical records, oh! He is Ningbo person, pickled vegetables, salted fish to eat. I immediately arranged for his low salt diet, potatoes, vegetables, fruits, patient screaming : "Oh, want to vomit, vomit! " however, just one week, blood pressure down. Give him to eat pickles, he thought " too salty ". So in order to prevent hypertension, to change eating habits, control of salt intake is entirely possible.

Through the thorough research that, potassium and calcium antagonism on sodium, potassium and calcium supplementation can promote sodium excretion. From 1997 April began, us on 300 high blood pressure adolescents and their families in the last 2 years, calcium and potassium salt limit comparison test, recently detected, these adolescents blood pressure decreased by an average of 4 mm Hg, compared to only salt and calcium, potassium blood pressure detection results of the same person at the same time, neither limited salt and potassium, calcium in human blood pressure was elevated to 2 mm hg.

For people in their daily lives to potassium, calcium supplements to this problem, our proposal is to eat more calcium-rich vegetables and food, such as spinach, rape, potatoes, sweet potatoes, mushrooms, edible fungus, milk, soy products and so on.

Weight loss - weight reduction of 1 kg, a drop in blood pressure of 1 mm Hg

In the past, people on the fat people regardless of men and women, old and young, think " chubby " are considered particularly. In fact, the fat to a certain extent, is not only the " beauty" of the problem, but rather a morbid. As the saying goes, " buy slimness with money ", on the other side, elderly obesity on health is more unfavorable, a fat students all diseases, obesity may lead to some life-threatening diseases. Hypertension and obesity is one of the " good brothers ", they follow like a shadow - hypertensive patients about half the fat, and the fat people is half of hypertension.

Fat has a lot of kinds, some fat in the abdomen, waist diameter, big belly, known as " central obesity ", this fat most dangerous - often have hypertension accompanied with disturbance of blood lipid, blood insulin level, glucose intolerance, known as the "metabolic syndrome ". The existence of multiple risk factors for obesity, poor prognosis. Due to the excessive accumulation of body fat, abdominal fat through the vessel to the liver, fatty liver caused by severe, cause abnormal liver function ( fatty hepatic hepatitis ), or even liver cirrhosis.

At present, although the living standard has been greatly improved, but the idea did not catch up with. Many people believe that " don't eat not to eat white ", you persuade him to control diet, weight control, he will say: " do not eat, live no meaning ". Obesity, to a certain extent reflects the people's cultural cultivation and quality. At a cultural level in populations with high few extremely obese subjects, these people have paid great attention to proper diet and exercise.

To prevent the occurrence of hypertension, one of the first one is to prevent the occurrence of obesity. What people need to lose weight? Calculate whether they achieve the ideal weight method is adopted to calculate body mass index ( BMI ), when BMI exceeds 24 when it is necessary to pay attention to. Find yourself overweight, it should be timely to lose weight.

I have two patients, a weight of 230 pounds, through the efforts of weight reduced to 200 pounds, walk or pant for breath, blood pressure is difficult to control; and another patient body weight 170 catties, through exercise, diet, weight loss to 140 jins, blood pressure control is very good. From taking the 3-4 kind of antihypertensive drugs, reduced to only eat one, and that one's spirits are flourishing., quality of life has been greatly improved. Therefore, weight loss from overweight period begins, " lose weight as guards against fat ", everyone should pay attention to their weight, regular to be measured.

However, the current prevalence of a weight loss, many people want to lose weight, so buy slimming tea, slimming drugs, even lose weight food. Weight loss is the best way to control diet and moderate exercise. The control diet is essential for weight loss. Why do people get fat, apart from a few people as a result of certain metabolic diseases or some genetic factors, intake exceeded the consumption, fat will accumulate in the body; to achieve the purpose of weight loss, let the intake and consumption form negative balance, so you can lose weight. Simple obesity is a major cause of excessive energy intake.
