Regarding hypertension, most people believe it is a disease of the elderly, but hypertension is becoming increasingly prevalent among younger people. If you suffer from high blood pressure, don't panic first, because high blood pressure can also be controlled and improved through appropriate exercise, and is not a very scary disease. What about hypertension?
If a 23-year-old young person suffers from hypertension, it is likely due to stress in their daily life, as well as improper diet and exercise habits, which can lead to hypertension. We can address the symptoms of hypertension from three aspects: diet, exercise, and psychology.
1. Reasonable dietary habits. Reasonable dietary habits can effectively control the symptoms of hypertension. People with hypertension should avoid eating sweet potatoes (foods that produce bloating), dried beans, and strong flavored biscuits. Do not eat high-fat foods, such as pork belly, pork bones, whales, herring, tuna, etc. Salt and fat should be reduced in diet. Eat more vegetables and fruits.
2. Exercise habits. The importance of exercise for hypertension: There is a saying that goes, "When young, trade health for money, and when old, trade exercise for health." Exercise can not only promote blood circulation and reduce cholesterol production, but also enhance the occurrence of muscle, bone, and joint stiffness. Exercise can increase appetite, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, prevent constipation, and improve sleep. Having a habit of continuous exercise: It is best to do aerobic exercise to be helpful. Aerobic exercise, like weight loss, can lower blood pressure, such as walking, jogging, Tai Chi, cycling, and swimming.
3. Mood regulation. The psychological manifestations of hypertensive patients are tension, irritability, and emotional instability, which are all factors that contribute to the increase in blood pressure. Patients can cultivate good adaptability to the natural environment and society by changing their behavior, avoiding emotional excitement, excessive tension, and anxiety.
