Are you so angry with your teammates or your boss that you have high blood pressure? These 2 tricks can lower blood pressure and lose weight!
High blood pressure is a disease that cannot be ignored by Taiwanese. Among the top ten causes of death in Taiwan in 2019, high blood pressure ranked eighth. Cerebrovascular disease and kidney disease on the list are also related to high blood pressure. Its lethality can be said to be No less than the No. 1 cancer. In addition to the older generation who may suffer from high blood pressure due to weather changes and cardiovascular disease, young people are also at risk if they eat too much oil and too much sweet food and are emotionally unstable and lose their temper. Therefore, if you hear someone say that he is often “angry to the point of high blood pressure,” he may I’m not bluffing, you have to pay attention to his physical condition. What should you do if you are young and unfortunately have to be pissed off by your bossy colleagues every day? Or if you eat late-night snacks such as salty crispy chicken in the alley every day and suffer from high blood pressure? Do you really need to take medicine every day for high blood pressure? Dr. Su Shanghao, director of the Cardiovascular Surgery Department of Taipei Boren Hospital, has the answer!
I really don’t need “medicine” first! Avoid asking for trouble. Diet and exercise are indispensable.
Su Shanghao said that there are indeed unscrupulous pharmaceutical companies on the market selling counterfeit drugs produced in South Africa, China, India and other places. Not only are these counterfeit drugs not helpful in lowering blood pressure, but the carcinogens in the drugs may make the physical condition worse if eaten. . Su Shanghao said that if he does not want to take medicine to suppress blood pressure, he must start with diet control and exercise. He used himself as an example. When he had blood pressure problems and had not developed exercise habits, his blood pressure was as high as 140mm/hg. Since then, he has Start to develop exercise habits and combine it with the “DASH diet” (Editor’s note: DASH diet which is a balanced diet that emphasizes the intake of fruits, vegetables, nuts and dairy products, and reduces the intake of high-sugar foods, drinks and red meat In order to reduce the incidence of arteriosclerosis), the blood pressure dropped to 110mm/hg, and the weight also decreased by about 7-8 kilograms, just enough to save the dosage of one pill.
Why doesn’t my blood pressure drop when I take a walk after a meal? It turns out I didn’t do “these things”
As for lowering blood pressure through exercise, Su Shanghao suggested that 6 a.m. is the time when the temperature difference changes greatly throughout the day. If you do not warm up enough and the blood vessels contract rapidly, you may have an accident before you go for a morning run, so you need to be especially careful when exercising in the morning. ; In addition, it is also important to exercise to the full extent. Failure to maintain the heart rate at 130-150 beats per minute (during the peak period of exercise) is useless, so brisk walking and walking after meals are basically not helpful in suppressing blood pressure. When it comes to exercising well, muscle endurance training is also a major focus. Many people don’t eat meat because they suffer from high blood pressure and want to lose weight. In fact, it only makes the muscles weaker. Once the muscles are weak, it will be difficult to exercise. Appropriate supplementation of meat to increase protein and enhance muscle endurance through strength training are helpful in suppressing blood pressure.
Having said all that, the secret to a healthy body is still inseparable from “balanced diet” and “maintaining exercise.” However, as the age group with high blood pressure gradually becomes younger, more and more young people do not pay attention to these two habits. After all, Watching TV dramas at home with salty crispy chicken is much easier than eating sous vide chicken breast after strength training. At this time, the “hidden killer” characteristics of high blood pressure will appear! Patients often don’t realize that they have high blood pressure. They eat an unbalanced diet and don’t exercise. Only when they go to the hospital to take a measurement do they find that the numbers are frighteningly high. By then, it’s too late to stop eating late at night. If the above-mentioned bad habits are consistent with your daily life, I advise you to find a way to lower the number on the blood pressure machine before you need to take medicine. Otherwise, if you don’t eat healthily at a young age, you will suffer a lot in the future!
