The "root cause" of hypertension has been found out! 4 eating habits, no matter how you like them, I advise you to restrain yourself!

Hypertension is no longer a disease limited to the middle-aged and elderly people. With the continuous development of society, changes in diet and life structure, hypertension is also gradually becoming younger. It is common for young and middle-aged people to suffer from primary hypertension in clinic!

What's more worrying is that because primary hypertension has no obvious symptoms in the early stage, more than half of Chinese patients do not know that they have hypertension, while the awareness rate of adults over 18 years old is only about 46.9%!

The real harm of hypertension may cause multiple complications

The more improper control, no active treatment of patients, the more prone to a variety of diseases, including the cardio cerebrovascular disease (cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction, coronary heart disease), kidney disease!

According to the current clinical data, the incidence of primary hypertension is related to many factors, including genetic factors, age and so on.

In addition, unhealthy diet is also the killer of high blood pressure.

If you don't want hypertension to find yourself in the future, it's still time to stay away from the following four kinds of food:

1. High fat, high calorie

This is the favorite of many young people, such as fried food, barbecue, cakes and desserts. We all found that eating high-fat, high calorie food can make the mood better.

But they are not good for health, because this kind of food will cause obesity, at the same time, it will cause the peripheral blood vessels to be wrapped by a large amount of fat, and then increase the pressure of blood vessels. The accumulation of excessive fat in the abdominal cavity will also easily lead to the increase of abdominal pressure and promote the further increase of blood pressure.

Moreover, obesity is just one of the independent risk factors of high blood pressure. This kind of food can be tasted occasionally, but must not exceed the standard.

2. High salt food

The relationship between "salt" and hypertension is not salty, but its composition is sodium chloride. After entering the body, it will generate large amounts of sodium ions. * when it exceeds the upper limit of renal metabolism, it can induce water and sodium retention and plasma osmotic pressure imbalance, and then lead to further increase in blood pressure.

In addition to the salt in cooking, other foods in our daily life also contain excessive sodium, such as dried noodles, instant noodles, pickled food, processed meat, seasonings (chicken essence, oyster sauce, soy sauce, bean paste), etc.

3. Over-loving spicy food

Pepper is good for human body. It is rich in vitamin C and capsaicin.

However, if people are too fond of spicy food, especially those with high blood pressure and family history of hypertension, it may lead to blood pressure fluctuations.

Because the food with strong irritancy can make the blood vessels expand and contract repeatedly, the human body secretes a lot of stimulating hormone, which is not conducive to the control of blood pressure. This is also the reason why the doctors recommend that patients with hypertension eat less spicy food.

4. Drinking

It is true that alcohol can temporarily dilate blood vessels and lower blood pressure, but this effect only lasts during the period when alcohol has not been metabolized.

Alcohol can also directly damage the inner wall of blood vessels and accelerate the formation of atherosclerosis. For patients with hypertension, atherosclerosis, plaque or cerebral microaneurysm, a large amount of alcohol may cause sudden attack of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

For healthy people, long-term drinking will also become a breakthrough of hypertension!

Because of this, we suggest that the diet should be light, low-fat, low oil, balanced nutrition.

In the process of cooking, try to keep the original flavor of food and avoid adding too much seasoning.

At the same time, in peacetime, we should also limit smoking and drinking, and actively carry out physical exercise. For people with family history of hypertension and obesity, blood pressure should be measured regularly to avoid the occurrence of hypertension without knowing it.
