The culprit of high blood pressure has been found! Smoking ranks second, and many people just can't change it.
According to incomplete statistics, there are nearly 300 million people with hypertension in China, and many of them are unaware of their condition.
Among the many patients, only 15.3% had good blood pressure control.
The real horror of high blood pressure is not the simple increase in blood pressure, but the various target organ damage caused by high blood pressure!
In recent years, high blood pressure is no longer a disease limited to the middle-aged and the elderly, and even many young and middle-aged people are also suffering from high blood pressure.
This is mainly related to bad habits, especially the following four bad habits, or become the breakthrough point of high blood pressure:
- Unhealthy eating habits
Among them, high-salt diets are the most common cause of high blood pressure, such as eating processed meats, preserved foods, etc. These foods contain super high salt.
Maintaining a high-calorie diet for a long time will not only allow obesity to find itself, but lipids will also increase blood viscosity and slow down blood circulation.
Only under high pressure can the blood circulate smoothly. Over time, high blood pressure will also find itself.
- Smoking
The words that smoking is harmful to health are printed on the cigarette pack, but this still cannot stop the enthusiasm of smokers.
Long-term smoking will not only damage the respiratory system and increase the possibility of lung cancer and chronic respiratory diseases, but also stimulate the secretion of hormones such as epinephrine and norepinephrine, which will cause the blood vessels to be in a state of tension and contraction, and thus increase blood pressure.
Studies have shown that the greater the amount of smoking and the longer the smoking age, the greater the risk of developing high blood pressure.
- Stay up late
In the process of staying up late, the central nervous system is highly excited, which stimulates the secretion of adrenaline and causes the blood vessels to contract repeatedly.
- Sedentary
The work of modern people is basically a sedentary state. Whether it is operating a computer, an instrument or a steering wheel, as long as you sit at a job position, it will last up to 8 hours, or even 12 hours.
However, prolonged sitting will not only lead to abdominal obesity, but also affect blood circulation, resulting in slower blood flow and increased blood viscosity, which all lay the foundation for high blood pressure.
The above four bad habits can become a breakthrough for high blood pressure.
Especially for obese people and people with a family history of hypertension, if they maintain bad living and eating habits for a long time, high blood pressure will also come to the door.
For the prevention of high blood pressure, we need to keep in mind: scientific diet, regular exercise, and regular physical examination, so that high blood pressure can be nowhere to hide.
