What are the preventive measures for high blood pressure?

　　High blood pressure is a very common disease in daily life. As the pressure of life continues to increase, many people are busy with work and neglect their own health. Therefore, more and more people are suffering from high blood pressure. High blood pressure will cause a series of diseases and cause great harm to the human body. Therefore, for the sake of your own health, you must take timely prevention in your daily life. So how to prevent high blood pressure?

　　Effective measures to prevent high blood pressure

　　1. Moderate exercise. Moderate exercise can improve the performance of the cardiovascular system, normalize the contraction and relaxation of blood vessels, and reduce blood sugar and blood lipid concentrations. In addition to promoting blood circulation and reducing the production of bile, exercise can also enhance the occurrence of muscle, bone and joint stiffness. The ideal form of exercise is walking.

　　2. Quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption. Smoking can cause high blood pressure. Because the nicotine ( ) contained in tobacco leaves excites the central nervous system and sympathetic nerves, increases the heart rate, and also prompts the adrenal glands to release a large amount of catecholamines, which constricts the arterioles and increases blood pressure. Studies have shown that after smoking a cigarette, the heart rate increases by 5 to 20 beats per minute and the systolic blood pressure increases by 10 to 25 mmhg.

　　Long-term heavy smoking can also promote atherosclerosis of large arteries, the intima of small arteries gradually thickens, and the entire blood vessel gradually hardens. At the same time, because the carbon monoxide hemoglobin content in the blood of smokers increases, the oxygen content of the blood is reduced, causing hypoxia in the arterial intima, and the oxygen content of the fat in the arterial wall is increased, accelerating the formation of atherosclerosis. Therefore, quitting smoking for people without high blood pressure can prevent the occurrence of high blood pressure, and people with high blood pressure should quit smoking.

　　3. Appropriate exercise. Competitive or explosive exercise, such as weightlifting, will increase blood pressure. Mild or moderate aerobic metabolic exercise aimed at building endurance will not increase blood pressure, but will help lower it. If you can exercise every day, it is a regular fitness exercise, which is most ideal; the seven-finger exercise dose reaches moderate exercise, and moderate exercise means that the heart rate during exercise reaches (170-age) beats/minute.

　　This is where we introduce the prevention of high blood pressure! In daily life, if you want to stay away from high blood pressure, in addition to following the above content, you also need to pay attention to your daily diet.
