Young people should also be careful of high blood pressure, these dietary and lifestyle habits must be away
I feel that more and more young people are suffering from hypertension nowadays, and I have several around me.
Hypertension is getting younger and younger people, don't ignore hypertension. Many unhealthy diet and lifestyle habits can increase the risk of hypertension.
So teach us what we should pay attention to in order to stay away from hypertension!
Okay, let's look down together.
01
Hypertension is a serious problem for young people
Young people, do not take hypertension lightly.
A 2021 study of 900000 young and middle-aged people between the ages of 35 and 49 showed that the number of hypertensive patients reached 235 of patients are aware of their disease, with a prevalence rate of 26.2%; in addition, 86.7% of young and middle-aged hypertensive patients have not undergone any treatment, 6.8% of patients are aware of their disease.
The latest data show that the prevalence of hypertension among adults over 18 years old in China is as high as 23.2%, and the number of patients is about 245 million.
02
Hypertension-the invisible killer
Hypertension is the most important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Hypertension causes atherosclerosis, which may lead to coronary heart disease, cardiac hypertrophy, heart failure and other problems. 80% of strokes and brain hemorrhages are directly related to hypertension; even hypertension can lead to kidney failure and other serious problems.
03
Keep away from hypertension
Eat and drink with care
These eating habits are related to high blood pressure
one
Regular alcohol consumption
Long-term heavy alcohol consumption can lead to high blood pressure. Alcohol is converted into acetaldehyde when it enters the body, because acetaldehyde can increase sympathetic excitability, increase heart rate, and increase blood pressure at the same time.
two
Eat takeout often
Takeout food is usually heavy on oil, salt and sugar. A high-salt diet is an important factor in the development of hypertension.
According to the Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents and the National Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Hypertension at the Primary Level, the daily salt intake of healthy people should not exceed 6 grams; the salt intake of hypertensive patients should not exceed 3 grams.
These lifestyle habits are associated with hypertension
one
Staying up late often
Data show that people who sleep less than 6 hours at night have a 35% probability of developing hypertension.
Staying up late will make the body's sympathetic nerves continue to excite, resulting in blood pressure to maintain elevated levels, faster heart rate, and may suffer from hypertension in the long run.
two
Staying up late for a snack
Eating late at night is also an important factor in triggering hypertension. This may lead to overweight or obesity, and for every 1 increase in the body mass index, blood pressure will increase by 0.8-1.7 mmHg accordingly.
04
Stay away from hypertension
Such dizziness should be noted
Regular blood pressure monitoring is essential. Once you find one or two times that your blood pressure is higher than normal, you should seek medical attention and if necessary, you need to do 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
Between 6:00 a.m. And 8:00 a.m., when the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves are exchanged, blood pressure increases by about 25% in the morning for ordinary people, and by more than 30% for people with hypertension. If you get dizzy or have a headache when you wake up in the morning, be alert to hypertension.
